Samuel Ullman（塞缪尔.厄尔曼）
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, r ed lips and supple knees; it is a matter o f the will, a quality of the imagination,an d a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshn ess of the deep springs of life. Youth me ans atemperamentalpredominance of c ourage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This oft en exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a nu mber of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give u p enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, f ear, self-distrust bows the heart and tur ns the spirit back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-lik e appetite of what's next and the joy of t he game of living. In the center of your h eart and my heart there is a wireless sta tion: so long as it receives messages of b eauty, hope, cheer, courage and

power f rom men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.When the aerials are dow n, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, th en you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch wav es of optimism, there is hope you may di e young at 80.

青春，并非年轻岁月，而是一种心态；青 春的特征，并非粉颊、朱唇、柔肢，而是 毅力、激情、创意；青春是生命涌泉的清 澈、激扬。
青春，是指超越怯懦、勇气如虹，不图安 逸、敢闯敢试。毅力若此，花甲多胜弱冠 。年岁递增，非必老化；背弃理想，方陷 残年。 岁月留痕，只及肌肤；激情不再，皱起心 灵。忧惧自卑，终致身心佝偻、精神萎靡 。
无论年少或年长，当怀好奇的诱导，像孩 子般总渴求着：接下来的进展及驰骋人生 的欢乐。
人人皆有心灵的感官，只要感受源源来自 人间与穹苍的启发，感应有关美好、希望 、激情、勇毅和能力的信息，你就会朝气 勃勃、青春无限。

青春，多么敏感的字眼。

唉！英文是硬伤啊！

英语这么好
