YOUTH 青春 
作者：Samuel Ullman
翻译：王佐良 
主播：孟飞Phoenix


Youth is not a time of life 
it is a state of mind
青春不是年华
而是心境


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
青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝
而是深沉的意志
恢宏的想象
炙热的感情


it is the freshness 
of the deep springs of life.
青春
是生命的深泉在涌流


Youth means a 
temperamental predominance 
of courage over timidity, 
of the appetite for adventure 
over the love of ease.
青春气贯长虹
勇锐盖过怯弱
进取压倒苟安


This often exists in a man of 60 
more than a boy of 20
如此锐气
二十后生而有之
六旬男子则更多见


Nobody grows old merely 
by a number of years. 
We grow old
by deserting our ideals.
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. 
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤
热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂


Worry, fear,self-distrust 
bows the heart 
and turns the spirit back to dust.
忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信
定使心灵扭曲
意气如灰


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. 
无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄
心中皆有生命之欢乐
奇迹之诱惑
孩童般天真久盛不衰


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 & power 
from men and from the Infinite, 
so long are you young.
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


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
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


but as long as your aerials are up, 
to catch waves of optimism,
there is hope you may die young at 80.
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
