Youth is not a time of life ; it is a state of mind ; it is not a matter of rosy 点击发音 cheeks, red lips and supple knees ; it is a matter of the will, quality of the imagination, a vigor 点击发音 of the emotions ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
青春不是年华,而是心境;青春不是粉面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志,恢宏的想象,燃烧的激情;青春是生命的源泉在涌流。
Youth means a temperamental 点击发音 predominance of courage over timidity 点击发音 of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely 点击发音 by a number of years. We grow oldby deserting our ideals.
青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯弱,进取压倒苟安。如此锐气,年方二十有之,六十男子则更多见。年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,方堕暮年。
Years may wrinkle 点击发音 the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles 点击发音 the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓废必致灵魂。忧烦,惶恐,丧失自信,定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。
Whether sixty or sixteen,but there is in every human being's heart the lure 点击发音 of wonder,the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer,courage and power from men and from the infinite 点击发音, so long are you young.
无论年届花甲,拟或二八芳龄,心中皆有生命之欢乐,奇迹之诱惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一线追求,只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的,你就青春永驻,风华常存。
When the aerials 点击发音 are down, and your spirit is coveerd with snows of cynicism 点击发音 and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
一旦理想消失,锐气便被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生,即使年方二十,实已垂垂老矣;然则只要保持追求,乐观向上,你就有望在百年高龄告别尘寰时青春尤在。
