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 inagination
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
勇锐盖过怯懦
进取压倒苟安
this often exists in a man of 60
more than 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，方坠暮年
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 sprint 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 woder
the unfailingchildlike 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
孩童般天真久胜不衰
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
你久青春永驻，风华常存
when the aerials are down
and your spirit is covered
with snows of cyncism
and the ce of pessimism
then you are grow old
even at 20
一旦天线下降
锐气便被冰雪覆盖
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噶别尘埃时
仍觉年轻
