    YOUTH

青春并不仅仅指的是年龄,还有对待生活的态度。一个庸庸碌碌、悲观厌世的年轻人身上已经没有青春的气息了。而只要你心怀梦想,对世界充满好奇和求之欲,即使你已经七八十岁了,你的心依旧是年轻的。

The good life is one insired by love and guided by knowledge.

美好的生活是一种由爱所激励、由知识所指导的生活。

Youth is not a time of lifeL; it is a state of mind ; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of will, a quality of imagination , a vigor of the emotions ; it is the freshnedd of the deep springs of life.
    Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity , of the appetite for adventure over the love of eade . 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 .
    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 .
    Whether 60 or 16 , there is jin 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 as you are young .
    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.
青春生命中的某一阶段,而是一种心境;青春不是粉面红唇和柔膝,而关乎坚韧不拔的意志,恢宏丰富的想象和热烈旺盛的感情;青春是生命之深泉不息地喷涌。
青春是一种气质,勇气不断超越怯懦;青春是一种愿想,耽于安逸总为勇于进取所取代。此等气质愿想,不惟见于弱冠少年,花甲之岁,更易多见。步入暮年,非岁月累加,而是抛却理想之求。
年华流逝,肌肤不复柔滑;激情丧失,则会哀及心灵。忧虑、惊恐和畏缩,使人意志减退,清泉归为尘灰。
无论是花甲高龄,还是二八芳华,所有人的心中总充溢着对于奇迹的渴望,孩童般永恒不衰的对于未来的向往,对于生活变幻的欢娱。在你我心中都耸立着一座无线电台,只要它能接受到来自人类和宇宙关于美好、希望、欢悦、勇气和力量的信息,你就会永葆青春。
当你的天线收拢,你的心灵为冰雪覆盖,愤世嫉俗和悲观厌世之感,就会油然而生,即使年方二十,实已垂垂老矣。而当你的天线张开,时时接收积极向上的电波,在你年届八旬,辞别人世之际,你仍有望青春作伴。
