青春
青春不是年华,而是心情;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深厚的意志,恢宏的设想,炙热的恋情;青春是性命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯弱,进取压倒偷安。如斯锐气,二十后生而有之,六旬男子则更多见。年纪有加,并非垂老,幻想抛弃,方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热情抛却,颓丧必致灵魂。忧烦,惊慌,损失,定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。
无论年届花甲,拟或二八芳龄,心中皆有生命之欢快,奇观之引诱,孩童般无邪久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线,只要你从天上世间接收美妙、盼望、欢喜、勇气跟力气的信号,你就青春永驻,风华常存。
一旦天线降落,锐气便被冰雪笼罩,玩世不恭、自强不息油然而生,即便年方二十,实已渐渐老矣;然则只要树起天线,捕获信号,你就有望在八十高龄离别尘寰时仍觉年青。
英文:
Youth
Samuel Ullman
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 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.
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.
阐明:
太平洋战斗打得正酣之时,麦克阿瑟将军经常从忙碌中抬开端,凝视着挂在墙上的镜框,镜框里是篇文章,名为《青春》。这篇文章一直随同着他,也随着他到了日本。后来,日自己在东京的美军总部发明了它,《青春》便开端在日本传播。
一位资深的日本问题察看家说,在日本实业界,只有有成绩者,不哪一个不熟知不利用这篇美文的,就连松下电器的开创人松下幸之助多少十年来也把《青春》当作他的。
还有这么一件趣事,足以证实《青春》在日本的魅力。一天,美国影片销售协会主席罗森菲尔德加入日本实业界的聚首,晚宴之前的谈话,他随便说了一句:“《青春》的作者,心灵鸡汤,便是我的祖父。”在座的各位实业界首领大为惊奇,其中有一位一边冲动地说“我始终随身带着它呢”,一边从口袋里取出了《青春》。
《青春》是怎么的一篇文章,它怎就这么神奇?
