                               YOUTH

Samuel Ullman

Youth is not a time oflife; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips andsupple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigorof the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
年轻不是人生的一个时间段,而是一种心态;它不是绯红的脸颊，红润的嘴唇和柔韧的双膝，它是一种意志力，一种想象力，一种情感力。它是深蕴生命之泉永葆清洌。
　　Youth means atemperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite foradventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than aboy of 20.　Nobody growsold merely by a number of years.　We grow old by desertingour ideals.
年轻意味着秉性上要勇气战胜怯懦，渴望冒险而不要贪图安逸。这种情态经常在60岁的老年人身上存在，而20岁的小伙子也不一定拥有。任何人不会随着时光的流逝而变老，只要抛弃了自己的信念，我们才会真正变老。
　　Years maywrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
岁月会使我们的皱纹堆累、容颜已逝，但放弃了激情，那我们的灵魂就会变老。焦虑、恐惧、自卑等这些不良情绪会搅乱我们的心湖，我们的心就会蒙上厚厚的灰尘。
　　Whether 60 or16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailingchildlike appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living.　In the center of yourheart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messagesof beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, solong as you are young.
无论是60岁的老年人还是16岁的少年，我们的都存有这些共性的追求：崇尚卓越、像小孩一样顽强地探究精神、生活的快乐。在我们的心中，有一个无线电台：只要它能抓取到美丽、希望、欢呼、勇气以及从他人和自然界获取力量，那么我们就是年轻的。
　　When theaerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the iceof pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerialsare up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.
只要我们电台的天线收起来，那我们的心灵就会被愤世嫉俗主义的寒雪和悲观主义的坚冰所覆盖，那我们就会真正被变老，即使我们只有20岁。但只要我们的天线是立起来的，主动获取乐观主义的电波，我们就有希望在80岁终老之时，还是依然年轻。
