前幾天看到《朗讀者》中企软，96歲的許淵沖先生優(yōu)雅紳士，談起林徽因和徐志摩的故事仍然熱淚盈眶饭望，說到自己年輕時喜歡的女同學仗哨，依舊甜美之情溢于言表形庭。如此高齡病軀，仍要在一百歲之時譯完《莎士比亞全集》厌漂。他的心是如此激情飽滿萨醒、敏感熱烈，仿佛從未有歲月的痕跡苇倡。一生都在創(chuàng)造美富纸、追求美。萬里歸來旨椒，仍是少年晓褪；白發(fā)蒼蒼，猶在青春综慎。當時讓我立刻想到一篇美文《青春》涣仿，在此分享給大家。
Youth ?青春
Samuel Ullman（美） ?王佐良譯
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind.
青春不是年華示惊，而是心境好港；
It is not a matter of rosy cheeks,red lips and supple knees.
青春不是桃面、丹唇米罚、柔膝,
It is a matter of the will,a quality of the imagination,vigor of the emotions;
而是深沉的意志钧汹、宏偉的想象、熾熱的感情录择；
It is the freshness of the deep spring of life.
青春是生命的深泉在涌流拔莱。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,
青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯懦隘竭，
of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.
進取壓倒茍安辨宠，
This often exits in a man of 60,more than a boy of 20.
如此銳氣，二十后生有之货裹，六旬男子則更多見。
nobody grows merely by the number of years;we grow old by deserting our ideas.
年歲有加精偿，并非垂老弧圆；理想丟棄,方墮暮年。
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
歲月悠悠笔咽，衰微只及肌膚搔预；熱忱拋卻,頹唐必至靈魂。
Worry,fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
煩憂叶组、惶恐拯田、喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲甩十，意氣如灰船庇。
Whether 60 or 16,there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders,
無論年屆花甲吭产，抑或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂鸭轮，奇跡之誘惑臣淤。
the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living.
孩童般天真久盛不衰。
In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station;
人人心中皆有一臺天線窃爷，
so long as it receives messages of beauty,hope,cheer,courage and power from men and from infinite,
只要你從天上人間接收美好邑蒋、希望、歡樂按厘、勇氣和力量的信號医吊，
so long as you are young.
你就青春永駐，風華常存逮京。
When the aerials are down,and your spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism,
一旦天線倒塌卿堂，銳氣被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭造虏、自暴自棄油然而生御吞，
then you've grown old,even at 20,but as long as your aerials are up,
即使年方二十，實已垂老矣漓藕；然則只要豎起天線陶珠，
to catch waves of optimism,there's hope you may die young at 80.
捕捉樂觀的信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕享钞。
這篇文章的作者塞繆爾·厄爾曼揍诽， 1840 年生于德國，兒時隨家人移居美國栗竖，參加過南北戰(zhàn)爭暑脆，年逾70才開始寫作。
麥克阿瑟將軍極喜歡這篇文章狐肢，他在二戰(zhàn)期間添吗，與日軍角逐于太平洋時，將此文鑲于鏡框份名，擺在寫字臺上以自勉碟联。松下公司元老松下幸之助曾感慨地說：“20年來，《青春》與我朝夕相伴僵腺，它是我的座右銘鲤孵。”
愿大家青春永駐辰如，風華長存普监，心中永葆生命之歡樂、奇跡之誘惑，即使到了白發(fā)蒼蒼的年紀凯正，仍有一顆赤子之心毙玻！
