youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .

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.

years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .

whether 60 of 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’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courag.

2、译文

青春不是生命的时候，它是一种精神状态；它不是红润的脸颊、红润的嘴唇和柔软的膝盖，它是一种情绪的物质：它是新鲜的；它是生命深处的新鲜。

青春意味着勇气驱走怯懦气贯长虹，冒险战胜安逸。这往往存在于一个60岁以上的男子，比一个20岁的男孩。没有人会变老，只是靠一些年。不思进取。

岁月在皮肤上起皱纹，但放弃热情则会使灵魂起皱。忧虑，恐惧，自我不信任扭曲了心灵，把精神变成了尘土。

不管60 16，但在每个人的心，奇迹之诱惑，孩童的孩童般的渴望和对生活的乐趣。在你的心中和我的心中有一个无线电台：只要它接收美丽，希望，欢乐，勇气。
