青春不是年华,而是心境;青春不是丹唇皓齿,而是坚定的意志,不羁的想象和奔放的情绪……
岁月褶皱的只是肌肤,而不是心灵。架起心灵天线,捕捉乐观、希望、勇气和力量的信号,你将青春永驻,即使到了古稀之年,告别尘寰之际,你将觉得自己依然年轻。
塞缪尔·厄尔曼的这篇佳作堪称为“青春一词最好的诠释。
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy(粉红色的) cheeks, red lips and supple(柔软的) 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 tempera-mental 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 a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle(使…变皱)the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
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 wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
