《YOUTH》
《青春》
Samuel Ullman
塞缪尔·厄尔曼
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind;
青春不是年华，而是心境；
it is not a matter of rosy cheeks
red lips and supple knees;
青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝
而是深沉的意志
it is a matter of the will,
a quality of the imagination,
a vigor of the emotions;
恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；
it is the freshness of
the deep springs of life.
青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
Youth means a tempera-mental
predominance of courage over
timidity of the appetite for adventure
over the love of ease.
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱
进取压倒苟安。
This often exists in a man of
60 more than a boy of 20.
Nobody grows old merely
by a number of years.
如此锐气，二十后生而有之
六旬男子则更多见。
We grow old by deserting our ideals.
年岁有加，并非垂老
理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
Years may wrinkle the skin,
癫痫病应该如何治疗but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul
岁月悠癫痫病是什么引起的悠，衰微只及肌肤；
热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。
Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart
and turns the spring back to dust.
忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，
定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
Whether 60 or 16
无论年届花甲拟或二八芳龄
there is in every human being’s heart
the lure of w四川儿童癫痫病医院onder the unfailing childlike
appetite of what’s next
and the joy of the game of living.
心中皆有生命之欢乐，
奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰~
In the center of your heart and
my heart there is a wireless Station
人人心中皆有一台天线
so long as it receives messages of beauty,
hope, cheer、courage and power
from men and from the Infinite
只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、
勇气和力量的信号，
so long are you young.
你就青春永驻，风华常存。
When the aerials are down
一旦天线下降，
and your spirit is covered with snows of
cynicism and the ice of pessimism
锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、
自暴自弃油然而生，
then you are grown old, even at 20,
but as long as
your aerials ar临沧市癫痫病*治疗医院e up
即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；
to catch waves of optimism,
there is hope you may die
young at 80
然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，
你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
