Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
青春不是年華徒坡,而是心境喇完;青春不是桃面锦溪、丹唇府怯、柔膝富腊,而是深沉的意志赘被,恢宏的想象民假,炙熱的感情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流羊异。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
青春氣貫長虹野舶,勇銳蓋過怯弱,進(jìn)取壓倒茍安睹欲。如此銳氣一屋,二十后生而有之,六旬男子則更多見闸衫。年歲有加,并非垂老身冬,理想丟棄岔乔,方墮暮年。
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
歲月悠悠雏门,衰微只及肌膚嘿歌;熱忱拋卻,頹廢必致靈魂茁影。憂煩宙帝,惶恐,喪失自信募闲,定使心靈扭曲步脓,意氣如灰。
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike 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, so long are you young.
無論年屆花甲,抑或二八芳齡靴患,心中皆有生命之歡樂仍侥,奇跡之誘惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰鸳君。人人心中皆有一臺天線农渊,只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望或颊、歡樂砸紊、勇氣和力量的信號,你就青春永駐囱挑,風(fēng)華常存醉顽。
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.
一旦天線下降,銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋平挑,玩世不恭徽鼎、自暴自棄油然而生,即使年方二十弹惦,實(shí)已垂垂老矣否淤;然則只要樹起天線,捕捉樂觀信號棠隐,你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時(shí)仍覺年輕石抡。
