翻译这段英文
Ihaverecentlyturnedfifty,whichisyoungforatree,midlifeforanelephant,andancientforaspor...
I have recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant,and ancient for a sportsman. Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit , but is is not a number that I am prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my father’s age , but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.
A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, “Fifty is what forty used to be.” He has made an inspiring point. Am I over the hill? People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling them that the high-jump bar has dropped from six feet I once cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.
“You are not getting older; you are getting better,” says Dr. Joyce Brothers. This, However, is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
And so, as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net, I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally. Getting older, of course is obviously a better change than one that brings you eulogies. 展开

I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant ,and ancient for a sportsman, Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my father's age, but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.
A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, “ Fifty is what forty used to be.” He had made an inspirational point. Am I over the hill? People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling them that he high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.
“ You’re not getting older, you are getting better.” says Dr. Joyce Brothers. This, however, is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
And so, as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net, I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally. Getting older, of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies（悼词）.In fact ,a poet named Robert Browning considered it the best change of all :
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to me.
Whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend （混合） of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher（哲学家） was right when he said .”Old is always fifteen years from now.”
我很快就要五十岁了。五十岁，对于一棵树来说正值青葱岁月，对于一头象则意味着中年，而对于运动员而言却已是垂垂老矣。在美国，五十是个吉祥的数字，它不仅是美国州的总数和，还是国家车速限制。可惜它不是我准备好去迎接的数字。五十应该是我父亲的岁数，但现在我却被这个数字和它所代表的一切吓着了。
很多天以前，一个朋友试着逗我开心，说道：“过去四十岁是怎么样的，现在五十岁也是怎么样。”他的话令我犹如醍醐灌顶。我上年岁了吗？在走下坡路了吗？人们一直告诉我我没有变老；我一直告诉他们：我曾经可以轻松跳过六英尺高的跳高横木，可如今把它降到四英尺高我也跳不过去。
医生跟我说：“你没有变老，而是变得更好了。”然而，这只是医生体贴安慰的话，想激发我有不同的想法。
总有一天，我会连网球网都跳不过去；当我离那天越来越近时，我转而开始跟你们分享一些我对于年老的看法。我开始展示我的身心在如何感知年老的步伐。当然了，变老显然是比死亡更好的一个改变。事实上诗人罗伯特·布朗宁认为最美妙的改变莫过于变老了，有诗为证：“与我偕老吧！好景还在后。”
不管布朗宁是对是错，我的前五十年的大部分时光都过得很精彩，所以我将满足于把将来的日子过得跟往日一样滋润。我发觉自己在前进的同时头脑中交织着一些古怪的想法，既抵抗又接受自己在变老，希望哲学家说的是对的：“从现在起的十五年后才算老。”
注：不是The best is yet to me. 而是The best is yet to be.
其中the hill has been moved/inspires a second opinion/I am moved to …不是很理解，所以可能不是很准确，你还要斟酌修改一下。

我最近转五十,对一棵树是年轻的,中年对于大象,与古代对运动员。五十州的一个美好的数字在美国或者为国家的速度限制,但不是一个数字,我准备在我就挂了。五十应该是我父亲的年龄,但是现在我这个号码,一切都被它的意思。
几天前,我的一位朋友想让我高兴起来说:“五十是什么四十过去一直是。”他做了一个鼓舞人心的一点。我是在小山之上吗?人们继续告诉我,小山已经被移动,而且我继续告诉他们跳高酒吧已从原来的降至六英尺我曾经允许四脚现在对我是不可能的。
“你没有在比较年长,你正在比较好,”乔伊斯说患病的弟兄。然而,这是一种激发一个第二个医生的意见。
于是,当我接近天当我甚至不能跳过网球网,我搬到了和你变老分享一些想法。我被采取行动来表示老化如何觉得我身心。变老,当然显然是一个更好的改变会比一个,为您带来标点、考释。

就在最近 我将50岁了 ，这是一个 对树来说 很年轻 对大象来说是中年，对一个 运动员 很老的年龄，50对于美国的州或者国家的速度极限来说是个幸运数字。但我不准备 在这个数字上吊死，50本应是我爸的年龄，但是现在我却 与这个数字及它的一切发生了联系、
几天前 一个朋友试着 用 “50岁 是 40岁的 常态 来让我开心。他提到了一个令人振奋的话题，我过了人生高地了吗？人们告诉我高地已经移动了而 我始终告诉他们跳高栏已经从我曾经能越过的6英尺我变为现在不可能越过的4英尺。
Joyce Brothers医生说 你没变老，你身体正在越来越好。可这已经是一种 医生以鼓励为主的次要观点。
所以 当我步入甚至无法跳过网球场网的岁月时，我很激动的与你争论来分享我的观点。我激动的想展示 生理和心理在年龄上是怎样的感觉 。变老 当然很明显是一种比给你带来颂歌 更好的改变
