Youth (青春)-----经典背诵美文

Author: Samuel Ullman

译者：王佐良

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。

Youth means a tempera-mental 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。

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.

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。

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.

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。

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,

but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism,

there is hope you may die young at 80.

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。

英语优美短文(五篇）

Love is more thicker than forget

More thinner than recall

More seldom than a wave is wet

More frequent than to fail

It is most mad and moonly

And less it shall unbe

Than all the sea which only

Is deeper than the sea

Love is less always than to win

Less never than alive

Less bigger than the least begin

Less littler than forgive

It is most sane and sunly

And more it cannot die

Than all the sky which only

Is higher than the sky

爱情比忘却厚

比回忆薄

比潮湿的波浪少

比失败多

它最痴癫最疯狂

但比起所有

比海洋更深的海洋

它更为长久

爱情总比胜利少见

却比活着多些

不大于无法开始

不小于谅解

他最明朗最清晰

而比起所有

比天空更高的天空

他更为不朽

There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking…… It was growing by itself…… enjoying every day…… and saying to the sun "When shall I be grown up？" And the sun would say "Be patient - Each time I touch you， you grow a little……" She was so pleased. Because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand…… And this is all she wanted to do - bring a little bit of beauty to this world.

遍地干旱、满目悲凉的沙漠中有朵小花，她独自生长在那里，享受着每一天……她问太阳公公“我什么时候才能长大？”太阳公公总是说“要有耐心—— 我每次抚摸你，你都会长大一点……”小花好开心啊，因为她也有机会为沙漠的一隅增添美丽了……这是她毕生的心愿—— 为这个世界增添一丝美丽。

One day the hunter came by - and stepped on her. - She was going to die - and she felt so sad. Not because she was dying - but because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.

一天，一位猎人经过——正好踩在她身上―― 她快要死了—— 她感到如此悲伤。并不是因为她即将死去，而是因为再没有机会为沙漠增添一丝美丽了。

The great spirit saw her， and was listening. - Indeed， he said…… She should be living…… And he reached down and touched her - and gave her life.

伟大的精神看到了她，并且听到了她的心里话。……事实上，他在说……她应该活着……他俯下身，抚摸着她—— 给了她生命。

And she grew up to be a beautiful flower…… and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her.

她长成一朵美丽的花……由于她的存在，这沙漠的一隅变得如此美丽。

a wild guess

Our physics professor was sruggling to draw the class into discussion of Archiimede's principe of water displacement. He told us that Archimede noticed that when he got into a pool at the public bathhouse, the water rose spilling over the edge. Excited at his discovery ,he ran down the street yelling ,"Eureka,eureka!" The instructor asked if anyone knew what that meant.

One student stood up and answered ,I'm naked! l'm naked!"

一个胡乱的猜测

我们的物理教授正在努力尝试把学生引入关于排水量的阿基米德原理的讨论。他告诉我们当阿基米德进入公共浴室的池子中时他注意到水漫出了浴缸边。由于这个发现，他兴奋的跑到街上并大叫道：”我找到了！我找到了！“教授问道是否有人知道这代表什么。

一个学生站起来回答道“我裸（奔）了，我裸（奔）了”

After the servant gave the note to the rich man,pretended to be reading it and after a while ,he said ,"OK,l know,Go and tell your master,"l'll go myself shortly.

借牛

很久很久以前，住着一个有钱人，但是他不识字。有一天，他的一个朋友想从他那里借一头牛，所以写了一个信条让他的仆人带去给那个有钱人。

在仆人把信条交给有钱人之后，他假装读了一会，然后说道：好的，我知道了，回去告诉你的主人，我马上亲自过去”

--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 亨利.沃兹渥斯.朗费罗

The day is cold,and dark,and dreary;

It rains,and the wind is never weary;

The vine still clings to the moldering wall,

But at every gust the dead leaves fall,

And the day is dark and dreary.

My life is cold and dark and dreary;

It rains and the wind is never weary;

My though still cling to the moldering past,

But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,

And the days are dark and dreary.

Be still,sad heart!And cease repining;

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;

Thy fate is the common fate of all,

Into each life some rain must fall,

Some days must be dark and dreary.

天冷、阴暗、沉闷；

下着雨，风也刮个不停；

藤还攀附着颓垣残壁，

每来一阵狂风，枯叶附落纷纷，

天真是阴暗而沉闷。

我的生活寒冷、阴郁、沉闷；

下着雨，风也刮个不停；

我的思想还纠缠着消逝的往事，

大风里，我的青春希望相继熄灭，

天真是阴暗而沉闷。

安静吧，忧伤的心！别再悔恨；

乌云后面太阳依然辉煌灿烂；

你命运和大家的一样，

每个人一生都得逢上阴雨，

有些日子必然阴暗而沉闷。

Henry David Thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗

However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。

爱情的见证

Love's Witness

Slight unpremeditated Words are borne

By every common Wind into the Air;

Carelessly utter'd, die as soon as born，

And in one instant give both Hope and Fear：

Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind

According to the Caprice of the Mind.

But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses，

Substantial Records to Eternity;

Just Evidences，who the Truth confess,

On which the Lover safely may rely；

They're serious Thoughts，digested and resolv'd；

And last，when Words are into Clouds devolv'd.

不加思索的轻率话语，

被每一次平凡的呼吸载入空气；

随便说说，刚出口即消失，

一瞬间给人希望和恐惧：

同一气息呼出万般矛盾心肠，

追随心灵无常的遐想。

但情书则是恒常的见证，

直至永恒的实体记录；

公道的证物，它道出真诚，

恋人能在其上安心依附；

它们是严肃的思想，经过深思熟虑；

当话语在云外消失，它们还将延续。

从不说他做不到

We Never Told Him He Couldn't Do It

My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally - but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk .

The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn't know.

In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others - perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know.

He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day - even the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. I asked him how he felt. "Okay," he said. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 103-degree fever. So he didn't know.

Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade - the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it. We never told him he couldn't do it...so he didn't know. He just did it.

从不说他做不到

我的儿子琼尼降生时，他的双脚向上弯弯着，医生向我们保证说经过治疗，小琼尼可以像常人一样走路，但像常人一样跑步的可能性则微乎其微。琼尼3岁之前一直在接受治疗，和支架、石膏模子打交道。七八岁的时候，他走路的样子已让人看不出他的腿有过毛病。

邻居的小孩子们做游戏的时候总是跑过来跑过去。毫无疑问小琼尼看到他们玩就会马上加进去跑啊闹的。我们从不告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑，我们从不说他和别的孩子不一样。因为我们不对他说，所以他不知道。

七年级的时候，琼尼决定参加跑步横穿全美的比赛。每天他和大伙一块训练。也许是意识到自己先天不如别人，他训练得比任何人都刻苦。训练队的前7名选手可以参加最后比赛，为学校拿分。我们没有告诉琼尼；也许会落空，所以他不知道。

他坚持每天跑4~5英里。我永远不会忘记有一次，他发着高烧，但仍坚持训练。我为他担心，于是去学校看他，发现他正在一个人沿着长长的林荫道跑步呢。我问他感觉怎么样，"很好。"他说。还剩下最后两英里。他满脸是汗，眼睛因为发烧失去了光彩。然而他目不斜视，坚持着跑下来。我们从没有告诉他不能发着高烧去跑4英里的路，我们从没有这样对他说，所以他不知道。

两个星期后，在决赛前的3天，长跑队的名次被确定下来。琼尼是第六名，他成功了。他才是个七年级生，而其余的人都是八年级生。我们从没有告诉他不要去期望入选，我们从没有对他说他不会成功。是的，从没说起过……所以他不知道，但他却做到了！

文摘:

An ant is a wise creature for itself， but it is a shrewd thing in an orchard2 or garden.And certainly men that are great lovers of themselves waste the public. Divide with reasonbetween self-love and society； and be so true to thyself， as thou be not false to others； spe-cially to thy king and country. It is a poor centre of a man's actions， himself. It is rightearth. For that only stands fast upon his own centre； whereas all things that have affinitywith the heavens， move upon the centre of another， which they benefit. The referring of allto a man's self is more tolerable3 in a sovereign prince； because themselves are not onlythemselves， but their good and evil is at the peril of the public fortune. But it is a desperateevil in a servant to a prince， or a citizen in a republic. For whatsoever affairs pass such aman's hands， he crooketh them to his own ends； which must needs to be often eccentric tothe ends of his master or state. Therefore， let princes， or states， choose such servants ashave not this mark； except they mean their service should be made but the accessory. Thatwhich maketh the effect more pernicious is that all proportion is lost It were disproportionenough for the servant's good to be preferred before the master's； but yet it is a greaterextreme， when a little good of the servant shall carry things against a great good of themaster's. And yet that is the case of bad officers， treasurers， ambassadors， generals， andother false and corrupt4 servants； which set a bias upon their bowl， of their own petty endsand envies， to the overthrow of their master's great and important affairs. And for the mostpart， the good such servants receive is after the model of their own fortune； but the hurt ...

A Red Red Rose

O My luve’s* like a red, red rose，

That’s newly sprung in June；

O my luve’s like the melodie，

That’s sweetly play’d in tune．

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

So deep in luve am I；

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

Till a’ the seas gang dry．

Till a’ the seas gang* dry, my dear,

And the rocks melt wi’ the sun；

I will luve thee still, my dear,

While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve,

And fare thee weel a while!

And I will come again, my luve,

Tho’ it were ten thousand mile!

一朵红红的玫瑰

呵，我的爱人像一朵红红的玫瑰，

蓓蕾初放正值花季；

呵，我的爱人像一首甜甜的乐曲，

旋律奏响最合时宜。

姑娘，如此娇好美丽，

我怎能不深深爱你!

我将爱你直至永远，亲爱的，

纵使天下的海水销声绝迹。

纵使天下的海水销声绝迹，

太阳把世上的岩石熔为浆泥；

呵，我还要爱你，亲爱的，

只要我生命的沙漏尚能为继。

再见吧，我唯一的爱，

让我们暂时别离!

我将重回你的身边，我的爱，

哪怕远隔千里万里!
