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
a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
青春不是芳華年少，而是壹種心境;青春不是桃花紅顏、盈盈朱唇、輕柔體態，而是積極的心誌，豐富的想象，炙熱的感情;青春是充滿生機、清新盎然的生命源泉。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity
of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
青春是壹種心性氣勢，是膽量戰勝怯懦，是勇敢探索戰勝茍且偷安。這樣的銳氣，與其說二十後生才具備，不如說在六旬老翁身上更多見。年輪的累加，並非意味著垂老;丟棄理想，才是真正意義的暮年。
Years may wrinkle the skin
but to give up enthusia *** wrinkles the soul. Worry
fear
self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
歲月會在額頭上留下痕跡;而拋卻熱忱，則讓靈魂長滿皺紋。憂愁煩惱，恐懼焦慮，自疑畏縮，壹定使心靈頹廢，意氣如灰。
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. 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.
無論年屆花甲，還是芳齡二八，人人心中都想往著奇妙事物，想知道明天會發生什麽;都有壹顆孩童般久盛不衰的好奇心。妳我的心中都豎有壹架天線，只要妳從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，妳就青春永駐，風華常存。
When the aerials are down
and your spirit is covered with snows of cynici *** and the ice of pessimi ***
then you are grown old
even at 20
but as long as your aerials are up
to catch waves of optimi ***
there is hope you may die young at 80.
然而，天線壹旦收起，玩世不恭、悲觀厭世就會像冰雪壹樣，封蓋妳的銳氣，即使年方二十，實際上也是垂垂老矣;但是，只要天線高置，還在捕捉樂觀的信號，追求美妙的夢想，妳就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時，仍然年輕。
Youth is not a matter of time; it’s a state of mind.
青春並非是壹個時間段，它是壹種思考方式。
There are 20 year olds who look like they are above 80.
生活中，很多20歲的人滿臉暮色，看上去足足有80多歲。
They don’t learn or try anything new. Everyday
they are afraid of seeking new challenges and stick to their"safe zones".
他們拒絕學習和嘗試新事物
終日呆在自己的“安全區”，畏懼壹切挑戰。
On the other hand
some elderlies still seem young and dynamic.
但是，有很多老人看上去卻格外年輕、活力四射。
They are curious about the world
and everyday is brand new to them.
他們對世界仍充滿著好奇心，每天對於他們來說都是嶄新的。
In fact
there"s no set standard for different ages.
其實，每個年齡並沒有固定的標準。
You don’t have to go to college at the age of 20
20歲的妳不壹定非要去上大學，
and you don’t have to get married by 30.
30歲前也不必結婚。
It"s not necessary to be rich by 50
妳不需要在50歲時富足，
and you can still go back to school at 60 like Steven Spielberg.
像斯皮爾伯格壹樣60歲重返校園也仍然是個不錯的選擇。
People are masters of their own lives
and it depends on you to choose yours.
人們應該是自己生活的主人，而妳的生活也應當由妳主宰。
