高中生必背勵志美文 ▏青春(雙語)
20世紀(jì)初，生于德國，后遷居美國的塞繆爾·厄爾曼寫過一篇不足500字的短文《青春》，大半個世紀(jì)來一直為世人傾倒，產(chǎn)生著經(jīng)久不息的轟動效應(yīng)。
青春，是一種精神狀態(tài)，理想在，奮斗在，青春就在!一起來欣賞這篇《青春》吧!
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple 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.
青春不是芳華年少，而是一種心境;青春不是桃花紅顏、盈盈朱唇、輕柔體態(tài)，而是積極的心志，豐富的想象，炙熱的感情;青春是充滿生機(jī)、清新盎然的生命源泉。
Youth means a temperamental 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.
青春是一種心性氣勢，是膽量戰(zhàn)勝怯懦，是勇敢探索戰(zhàn)勝茍且偷安。這樣的銳氣，與其說二十后生才具備，不如說在六旬老翁身上更多見。年輪的累加，并非意味著垂老;丟棄理想，才是真正意義的暮年。
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
歲月會在額頭上留下痕跡;而拋卻熱忱，則讓靈魂長滿皺紋。憂愁煩惱，恐懼焦慮，自疑畏縮，一定使心靈頹廢，意氣如灰。
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.
無論年屆花甲，還是芳齡二八，人人心中都想往著奇妙事物，想知道明天會發(fā)生什么;都有一顆孩童般久盛不衰的好奇心。你我的心中都豎有一架天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，你就青春永駐，風(fēng)華常存。
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.
然而，天線一旦收起，玩世不恭、悲觀厭世就會像冰雪一樣，封蓋你的銳氣，即使年方二十，實際上也是垂垂老矣;但是，只要天線高置，還在捕捉樂觀的信號，追求美妙的夢想，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時，仍然年輕。

《青春》
Youth
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple 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 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.
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.
青春
青春不是年華，而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉意志，恢宏想
象，炙熱戀情;青春是生命深泉在涌流。
青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進(jìn)取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，并非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。
歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚;熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。
無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量信號，你就青春永駐，風(fēng)華常存。
一旦天線下降，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣;然則只要樹起天線，捕捉樂觀信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。
