这篇英语什么意思

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, 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 exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.nobody grows merely by the 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-distrust1 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 wonders, 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 infinite, so long as you are young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with the 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.

Answer 1

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，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。

一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

这是塞缪尔•厄尔曼的《青春》，很美的一篇励志文。

青春不是生命的一个阶段,它是一种心态。它不是红润的脸颊、红扑扑的嘴唇和柔软的双膝。而是深沉的意志,恢宏的想象,一个高质量的活力的感情;它是生命之春的新鲜。
青春是一种气质:勇猛果敢而不是怯懦退缩,渴望冒险而安逸的。这往往退出一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年。没有人会仅仅数年;我们变老是因为我们放弃的想法。岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓废必致灵魂。忧虑、恐惧、self-distrust1使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。
无论是60岁还是16岁,我们每个人心中,奇迹之诱惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰的下一个和生活带来的乐趣。在你心中的中心,我的心中都有一个无线电台:只要它接收消息的美、希望、鼓励、勇气和力量的男人和从无限的,只要你是年轻的。
一旦天线倒塌,锐气被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭、悲观厌世的冰凌,那么你已经老了,即使你只有20岁,但只要竖起天线,捕捉乐观主义的电波,是希望你可能死于年轻的80岁。
