美文串记考研词汇 青春

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of red lips, straight waist or vigorous body. It is a matter of magnificent imagination, steady determination, unique character and abundant emotion; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.

青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是红润的双唇、坚挺的腰身或强健的身体，而是宏伟的想象、坚定的信心、独特的个性和丰富的情感；青春是生命的源头在涌动。

Youth means an infinite courage and self-confidence over huge challenges, means a precise target and persistent¹ action over worthless complaints. This often exists in an elderly man more than a chap . Nobody grows merely by the number of years; we grow old by deserting our ideas.

青春意味着无限的勇气和自信压倒巨大的挑战，明确的目标和持续的行动压倒无聊的抱怨。如此锐气，小伙子有之，老年人则更多见。年年有加，并非垂老；理想抛弃，方堕暮年。

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm will wrinkle the soul worry, fear and self-distrust bow the heart and turn the spirit back to dust.

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；但热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。烦忧、惶恐、缺乏自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

There is in every human being's heart the temptation of wonders, 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 an antenna²; So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, you will keep young forever.

每个人的心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
