美文《青春》.pptVIP

Youth is a Lonely carnival 青春是一场落寞的狂欢 YOUTH Youth is just a heavy rain,which someone still wishes to experience again--even through he had already caught a cold for it. Seize youth and to realize your dream 抓住青春 实现梦想 青 春 萨缪尔 影响世界几代人的美文 作者作品 萨缪尔·厄尔曼 1840 年生于德国，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。 日本战败，此文由东京美军总部传出，有人将它灌成录音带，广为销售；甚至有人把它揣在衣兜里，随时研读。多年后，厄尔曼之孙、美国电影发行协会主席乔纳斯·罗森菲尔德访问日本，席间谈及《青春》一文，一位与宴者随手掏出《青春》，恭敬说：“乃翁文章，鄙人总不离身。”主客皆万分感动。  1988 年，日本数百名流聚会东京、大坂，纪念厄尔曼的这篇文章。松下电器公司元老松下幸之助感慨的说：“20 年来，《青春》与我朝夕相伴，它是我的座右铭。”欧洲一位政界名宿也极力推荐：“无论男女老幼，要想活得风光，就得拜读《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 ma －tter of the will, a quali－ty of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、恢宏的想像、炽热的感情；青春是生命的深泉涌流。 Youth means a temperamental pdomi－nance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of sixty more than a body of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. 青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，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. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. 岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓唐必致灵魂。忧烦、惶恐、丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。 Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human beings heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of whats next, and the joy of the game of living. 无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢愉，奇迹之感召，孩童般天真久盛不衰。 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. 人的心灵应如浩淼瀚海，只有不断接纳美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的百川，才能青春永驻、风华长存。
