英语美文：Man's Youth

Man's youth is a wonderful thing: it is so full of anguish and of magic and he never comes to know it is, until it has gone from him forever. 

人的青春奇妙无穷，充满痛楚，充满魔力。青春年少时不知青春为何物，无奈青春一去不复返时才恍然醒悟：

It is the thing he can't bear to lose, it is the thing whose passing he watches with infinite sorrow and regret, it is the thing whose loss he must lament forever, and it is the thing whose loss he really welcomes with a sad and secret joy, the thing he would never willingly relive again, if it could be restored to him by any magic.

青春是谁也不愿失去的东西；眼睁睁看着青春流逝，无限的感伤和遗憾涌上心头；青春的流逝是人们心中永远的痛；青春的流逝让人们或大悲或窃喜；即便魔力可以还以青春，人们也不愿再次经历那些流逝的青春岁月。

Why is this? The reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life is nowhere else so evident as in our youth. And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life which we feel so poignantly, so unutterably, with such a bitter pain and joy, when we are young? 

为何如此呢？因为青春时代的生活充满了奇特的、心酸的、不平凡的事。青春年少的我们怀着或悲或喜的心情，强烈而又不可名状地体味着那些生活的奇特辛酸史时，我们可曾想过它的本质？
