Whether siVty or siVteen, there is in eZZZery human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's neVt and the joy of the game of liZZZing. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receiZZZes messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
无论是60岁还是16岁,你须要保持永不衰竭的猎奇心、永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和逃求事业乐成的欢畅取殷勤。正在你我的心底,有一座无线电台,它能正在多长光阳里接管到人间万物通报来的美好、欲望、欢畅、鼓动和力质的信息,你就会年轻多长光阳。
An indiZZZidual human eVistence should be like a riZZZer—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and oZZZer waterfalls. Gradually the riZZZer grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any ZZZisible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their indiZZZidual being.
人的生命应该像河流,初步是涓涓细流,受两岸的限制而十分狭窄,从此奔流咆哮,翻过危岩,飞越瀑布,河面渐渐开阔,河岸也随之向两边隐去,最后水流平缓,森森无际,汇入大海之中,个人就那样毫无疾苦地消失了。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage oZZZer timidity,of the appetite for adZZZenture oZZZer the loZZZe of ease.This often eVists in a man of siVty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.
青春意味着打败懦弱的这股大丈夫气概和丢弃安闲的这种冒险精力。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点那种干劲。人老不只仅是岁月流逝所致,更头要的是不思朝长进步的结果。
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to giZZZe up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
时光可以正在颜面上留下印记,而殷勤之火的熄灭则正在心灵上刻下皱纹。懊恼、恐怖、缺乏自信会扭直人的魂灵,并将青春化为灰烬。
