塞谬尔.厄尔曼的《青春》原文

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

节译者：黄志坚
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。
《YOUTH》by Samuel Ullman (Excerpt) Source: http://www.uab.edu/ullmanmuseum/
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.
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 sixty more
than a boy of twenty. 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 sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the
unfailing child-like 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 frommen and from the infinite, so long are you young.

Answer 2

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、恢弘的想象、炽热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹， 勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年，岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤； 热忱抛却，颓唐必致灵魂。忧烦、惶恐、丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。
人人心中皆有一根天线 ，只要你从天上人间接收美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你无不青春永驻、风华长存。一旦天线降下，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭。自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要竖起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。本回答被提问者采纳
