青春不是年華掂名，而是心境据沈；青春不是桃面、丹唇饺蔑、柔膝锌介，而是深沉的意志、恢宏的想像猾警、熾熱的感情孔祸；青春是生命的深泉涌流。
Youth is nota time of life; it is a state of mind; it isnot a matter of rosy cheeks, redlips and supple knees; it is a matter of thewill, a quality of the imagination,a vigor of the emotions; it is thefreshness of the deep springs of life.
青春氣貫長(zhǎng)虹发皿，勇銳蓋過(guò)怯弱崔慧，進(jìn)取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣穴墅，二十后生有之惶室，六旬男子則更多見(jiàn)。年歲有加玄货，并非垂老皇钞；理想丟棄，方墮暮年松捉。
Youth meansa temperamental predominance of courage overtimidity of the appetite, foradventure over the love of ease. This oftenexists in a man of sixty more than abody of twenty. Nobody grows old merely bya number of years. We grow old bydeserting our ideals.
歲月悠悠鹅士，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻惩坑，頹唐必致靈魂掉盅。憂煩也拜、惶恐、喪失自信趾痘，定使心靈扭曲慢哈，意氣如灰。
Years maywrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasmwrinkles the soul. Worry, fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns thespirit back to dust.
無(wú)論年屆花甲永票，抑或二八芳齡卵贱，心中皆有生命之歡愉，奇跡之感召侣集，孩童般天真久盛不衰键俱。
Whethersixty or sixteen, there is in every human being'sheart the lure of wonder, theunfailing child-like appetite of what's next, andthe joy of the game of living.
人的心靈應(yīng)如浩淼瀚海，只有不斷接納美好世分、希望编振、歡樂(lè)、勇氣和力量的百川臭埋，才能青春永駐踪央、風(fēng)華長(zhǎng)存。
In thecenter of your heart and my heart there is awireless station; so long as itreceives messages of beauty, hope, cheer,courage and power from men and fromthe Infinite, so long are you young.
一旦心浩耙酰枯竭畅蹂，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭荣恐、 自暴自棄油然而生液斜，即使年方二十，實(shí)已垂垂老矣叠穆；然則只要虛懷若谷旗唁，讓喜悅、達(dá)觀痹束、仁愛(ài)充盈其間检疫，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時(shí)仍覺(jué)年輕。
When theaerials are down, and your spirit is coveredwith snows of cynicism and the iceof pessimism, then you are grown old, evenat twenty, but as long as youraerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism,there is hope you may die youngat eighty.
