youth中英文朗读

YouthSamuel UllmanYouth 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, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life. 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 ideas. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite for 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‘ve 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. 很经典的一篇英语诗歌，朗诵时要注意语调，语速。祝你好运

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind.

青春不是年华，而是心境；

It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees.

青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝;

It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions;

而是深沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情；

It is the freshness of the deep spring of life.

青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity.

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，

of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.

进去压倒苟安，如此锐气，

This often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.

二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。

nobody grows merely by the number of years;we grow old by deserting our ideas.

年年有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。

Worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

烦忧、惶恐、丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders,

无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑。

the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living.

孩童般天真久盛不衰。

In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station;

人人心中皆有一台天线，

so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from infinite,

只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，

so long as you are young.

你就青春永驻，风华常存。

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism,

一旦天线倒塌，锐气被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，

then you've grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up,

几十年方二十，实已垂老矣；

to catch waves of optimism, there's hope you may die young at 80.

只要虚怀若谷，让喜悦、达观、仁爱充盈其间，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

《青春》是塞缪尔·厄尔曼的著名散文。

他(1840.4.13-1924.3.21)是一名生于德国的美国作家。儿时随家人移居美利坚，参加过南北战争，之后定居伯明翰，经营五金杂货，年逾70开始写作。

所谓青春，并不是人生的某个阶段，而是一种心态。卓越的创造力、坚强的意志、艳阳般的热情、毫不退缩的进取心以及舍弃安逸的冒险心，都是青春心态的表征。

松下电器的创始人松下幸之助几十年来也把《青春》当作他的座右铭。

1. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE Robert H. Schuller Failure doesn't mean you are a failure，It does mean you haven’t succeeded yet. Failure doesn’t mean you have accomplished nothing，It does mean you have learned something. Failure doesn’t mean you have been a fool，It does mean you had a lot of faith. Failure doesn’t mean you’ve been disgraced，It does mean you were willing to try. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it，It does mean you have to do something in a different way. Failure doesn’t mean you are inferior，It does mean you are not perfect. Failure doesn’t mean you’ve wasted your life，It does mean you have a reason to start afresh. Failure doesn’t mean you should give up，It does mean you must try harder. Failure doesn’t mean you’ll never make it，It does mean it will take a little longer. Failure doesn’t mean God has abandoned you，It does mean God has a better idea. 失败的意义 罗伯特·H·舒勒 陈采霞译 失败并不代表你是个失败者，它只表明你尚未成功。失败并不代表你一无所获，它只表明你吸取了一次教训。失败并不代表你很愚蠢，它只表明你信心百倍。失败并不代表你无脸见人，它只表明你百折不回。失败并不代表你工夫白费，它只表明你的做事方法尚待改进。失败并不代表你低人一等。它只表明你并非完人。失败并不代表你浪费生命，它只表明你有理由重新开始。失败并不代表你应该放弃，它只表明你要加倍努力。失败并不代表成功永不属于你，它只表明你要付出更多的时间。失败并不代表上帝已经抛弃你，它只表明上帝还有更好的主意。 2. FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE Neil Simon Don t listen to those who say，"It’s not done that way.” Maybe it’s not， but maybe you will. Don’t listen to those who say，"You’re taking too big a chance.” Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor，and it would surely be rubbed out by today. Most importantly, don’t listen When the little voice of fear inside of your ear its ugly head and says，"They’re all smarter than you out there. They’re more talented，They’re taller， blonder， prettier， luckier and have connections……"I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you，Not to the exclusion of love，sensitivity， and cooperation with others，But with the strength of conviction That you can move others by your own efforts，And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live，The chances are you’ll be a person worthy of your own respect. 走自己的路 尼尔·西蒙 陈采霞译 别听那些人的话，"这事不能那么做。"也许是不能那么做，可是也许你就会那么做。别听那些人的话，"你这个险冒得太大了。"米开朗琪罗可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作过画，到今天肯定已经被抹掉了。最重要的是，当你心中恐惧的声音，抬起它丑陋的头说，"那边那些人都比你聪明，他们更有才华，他们更高大、皮肤更白、更漂亮、更幸运，并且认识各种各样的人…"你可千万别理会。我坚信只要选择一条你感兴趣的路，不排除爱情、敏锐以及与别人的合作，而是坚定地认为，通过你自身的努力能够感动他人，不把成功或者失败作为你生活的标准，那么你就可能成为值得自己敬佩的人。 2. THE ROAD NOT TAKEN Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood， And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth； Then took the other, as just as fair， And having perhaps the better claim， Because it was grassy and wanted wear(磨损)； Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same， And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden（踩） black. Oh，I kept the first for another day！ Yet knowing how way leads on to way， I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence： Two roads diverged in a wood，and I� I took the one less traveled by， And that has made all the difference. 没有走过的路 罗伯特·弗罗斯特 陈采霞译 金色的树林路分两条， 遗憾不能两条都到。 孤独的我长久伫立， 极日眺望其中一条， 直到它在灌丛中淹没掉。 然后我公平地选择了另外一条， 或许理由更加充分， 因为它草深需要有人上去走走。 说到有多少人从上面走过 两条路磨损得还真是差不多。 而且那天早晨两条路都静静地躺着， 覆盖在上面的树叶都没有被踩黑， 噢，我把第一条路留给了下一次！ 但我知道前方的路变幻莫测， 我怀疑我是否应该回来…… 多年以后在某个地方， 我将叹息着讲述这件事： 树林里路分两条，而我—— 选择了行人较少的那条， 就这样一切便发生了改变。3. WHAT IS SUCCESS Ralph Waldo Emerson What is success？ To laugh often and love much； To win the respect of intelligent people And the affection of children； To earn the approbation（认可，嘉许） of honest critics And endure the betrayal of false friends； To appreciate beauty； To find the best in others； To give oneself； To leave the world a little better， Whether by a healthy child， A garden patch， Or a redeemed social condition； To have played and laughed with enthusiasm And sung with exultation；（大悦，欢欣） To know even one life has breathed easier， Because you have lived…… This is to have succeeded. 成功的内涵 拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生 陈采霞译 成功是什么？ 笑口常开，爱心永在， 赢得智者的尊重， 孩子们的爱戴； 博得真诚的认可， 容忍损友的背叛； 欣赏美好的东西， 发现别人的可爱。 学会无私地奉献， 给世界增添光彩： 要么培育出健康的孩子， 要么留下花园一块， 亦或是改善社会条件； 尽情娱乐、笑得畅快， 把欢乐的歌唱起来； 甚至知道一个生命活得自在， 因为你的一路走来…… 这就是成功的内涵。
