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 imagination,a vigor of the emotions;it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
青春不是年华,而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志、辉煌的想象、炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在奔流。
Youth means a tempera-mental 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.
青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯懦,进取压倒苟安。如此锐气,二十岁的后生而有之,六旬的男子则更多见。年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,房堕暮年。
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry,fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
岁月悠悠,衰老只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓废必致灵魂。忧烦、惶恐、丧失信心,定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。
