余超颖 Aug. 30 Youth青春
【编者的话】
然而，只要你的天线张开，接收着乐观向上的电波，那么你可以指望，在80岁死去时你依然年轻。
[1]Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips andsuppleknees; it is a matter of will, a quality of imagination, avigor of the emotions; it is thefreshness of the deep springs of life.
[1]青春不是人生的一个阶段，而是一种心境。青春不是指粉红色的面颊、红润的嘴唇和柔韧的膝盖，而是指坚强的意志、丰富的想象和激越的情感。青春是生命深处的一泓清泉。
[2]Youth means atemperamental 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 aboy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by desertingour ideals.
[2]青春是一种气质：勇猛果敢而不是怯懦退缩，渴望冒险而不贪图安逸。一个60岁的老人身上常常散出着这种气息，而20岁的青年身上倒未必可寻。没有人会单单因为年岁增长而衰老，而一旦丧失理想，就会真正变老。
[3]Years maywrinkle the skin, but togive up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
[3]岁月也许会在皮肤上生出皱纹，而热情不在则人使心灵起皱。忧虑、恐惧、自卑都会使人心灰意懒，一蹶不振。
[4]Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, 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 a wirelessstation: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from theInfinite, so long as you are young.
[4]无论60岁还是16岁，每一个人心里都怀有对新奇事物的向往，都会像儿童一样对未来充满永不衰减的憧憬，都能在生活的游戏中汲取快乐。在你我的心灵中央都有一座无线电台：只要它接收到其他人和上帝发出的——美、希望、快乐、勇气和力量的信息，就会永远年轻。
[5]When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.
[5]当你的天线收拢，当你的心灵覆盖着愤世嫉俗的霜雪和悲观厌世的坚冰，即使你年方20，你也已进入了垂暮之年。然而，只要你的天线张开，接收着乐观向上的电波，那么你可以指望，在80岁死去时你依然年轻。
