诗歌青春

主播：Jessica 亲爱的听众朋友们，大家晚上好，这里是河南师范大学新联学院英语广播电台，我是主播Jessica。 在今天的节目开始之前，我想先给大家道一句迟来的新年祝福，祝福大家在新的一年里有好身体和平常心。努力实现自己的每一个小目标，离自己的梦想越来越近。今天我给大家带来的分享是诗歌青春。 Youth 青春 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 spring of life. 青春不是生命的一段时光，它是一种精神状态，不是指红润的脸颊、红扑扑的嘴唇和柔软的双膝；是指不懈的干劲、丰富的想象力 和滚烫的情怀。它是生命春意正浓时鲜活的记忆。 Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love if ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows merely by a number of years, we grow old by deserting our ideas. 青春意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气概和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头。 人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致，更主要的是懒惰、不思进取的结果。 Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. 光阴可以在颜面上留下印记，而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下皱纹。 Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. 担忧、恐惧、缺乏自信，会扭曲人的灵魂，并将青春化为灰烬。 Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. 无论是60岁还是16岁，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心，永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐和热情。 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 as you are young. 在你我的心底，都有一座无线电台：它能在多长时间里接收到美好、希望，欢乐、鼓舞和力量信息，来自人间万物传递，你就会年轻多长时间。 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’s hope you may die young at 80. 当天线倒塌时，你的精神就被玩世不恭和悲观厌世的冰雪所覆盖 你就会衰老下去，即使你只是20岁；而你的天线巍然矗立着的时候，凭着高昂的乐观主义，你就有希望在80岁死去时仍然韶华不逝。
