英文名篇 青春

背景：太平洋戰爭打得正酣之時，麥克阿瑟將軍常常從繁忙中抬起頭，注視著掛在墻上的鏡框，鏡框里是篇文章，名為《青春》。這篇文章一直伴隨著他，也跟著他到了日本。后來，日本人在東京的美軍總部發現了它，《青春》便開始在日本流傳。

一位資深的日本問題觀察家說，在日本實業界，只要有成就者，沒有哪一個不熟知不應用這篇美文的，就連松下電器的創始人松下幸之助幾十年來也把《青春》當作他的座右銘。

還有這么一件趣事，足以證明《青春》在日本的魅力。一天，美國影片銷售協會主席羅森菲爾德參加日本實業界的聚會，晚宴之前的談話，他隨意說了一句：“《青春》的作者，便是我的祖父?！痹谧母魑粚崢I界領袖大為驚訝，其中有一位一邊激動地說“我一直隨身帶著它呢”，一邊從口袋里掏出了《青春》?！肚啻骸肥窃鯓拥囊黄恼?，它怎就這么神奇？

YOUTH

Samuel Ullman

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.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 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.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.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.青春（漢譯）

繆爾·厄爾曼

青春不是年華，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，炙熱的戀情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，并非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。

歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。

無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，你就青春永駐，風華常存。一旦天線倒下，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣；然則只要豎起天線，捕捉樂觀信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。

Nobody grows merely by the number of years;we grow old by deserting our ideas.Youth

By Samuel Erman

Youth is not a time of life;it is a state of mind.青春不是年華，而是心境；

It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees.青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;而是深沉的意志、恢宏的想象、熾熱的感情；

It is the freshness of the deep spring of life.青春是生命的源泉在涌流。

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, 青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.進取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，This often exits in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.二十后生有之，六旬男子則更多見。

nobody grows merely by the number of years;we grow old by deserting our ideas.年歲有加，并非垂老；理想丟棄，方墮暮年。

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹唐必至靈魂。

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.煩憂、惶恐、喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, 無論年屆花甲，抑或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living.孩童般天真久盛不衰。

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism，一旦天線倒塌，銳氣如同冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭，自暴自棄油然而生，then you've grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, 即使年方二十，實已老矣；

to catch waves of optimism, there's hope you may die young at 80.然則只要豎起天線，捕捉樂觀的信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。

一、THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE

Robert H.Schuller

Failure doesn t mean you are a failure，It does mean you haven t succeeded yet.Failure doesn t mean you have accomplished nothing，It does mean you have learned something.Failure doesn t mean you have been a fool，It does mean you had a lot of faith.Failure doesn t mean you ve been disgraced，It does mean you were willing to try.Failure doesn t mean you don t have it，It does mean you have to do something in a different way.Failure doesn t mean you are inferior，It does mean you are not perfect.Failure doesn t mean you ve wasted your life，It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.Failure doesn t mean you should give up，It does mean you must try harder.Failure doesn t mean you ll never make it，It does mean it will take a little longer.Failure doesn t mean God has abandoned you，It does mean God has a better idea.十大策略 失敗的意義

羅伯特*H*舒勒

失敗并不代表你是個失敗者，它只表明你尚未成功。

失敗并不代表你一無所獲，它只表明你吸取了一次教訓。

失敗并不代表你很愚蠢，它只表明你信心百倍。

失敗并不代表你無臉見人，它只表明你百折不回。

失敗并不代表你工夫白費，它只表明你的做事方法尚待改進。

失敗并不代表你低人一等。

它只表明你并非完人。

失敗并不代表你浪費生命，它只表明你有理由重新開始。

失敗并不代表你應該放棄，它只表明你要加倍努力。

失敗并不代表成功永不屬于你，它只表明你要付出更多的時間。

失敗并不代表上帝已經拋棄你，它只表明上帝還有更好的主意。

二、FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE

Neil Simon

Don t listen to those who say，“It s not done that way.”

Maybe it s not, but maybe you will.Don t listen to those who say，“You re taking too big a chance.”

Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor，and it would surely be rubbed out by today.Most importantly, don t listen

When the little voice of fear inside of you

rear its ugly head and says，“They re all smarter than you out there.They re more talented，They re taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connection

s...”

I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you，Not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with o

thers，But with the strength of conviction

That you can move others by your own efforts，And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live,The chances are you ll be a person worthy of your own respect.走自己的路

尼爾*西蒙

別聽那些人的話，“這事不能那么做?！?/p>

也許是不能那么做，可是也許你就會那么做。

別聽那些人的話，“你這個險冒得太大了?！?/p>

米開朗琪羅可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作過畫，到今天肯定已經被抹掉了。

最重要的是，當你心中恐懼的聲音，抬起它丑陋的頭說，“那邊那些人都比你聰明，他們更有才華，他們更高大、皮膚更白、更漂亮、更幸運，并且認識各種各樣的人?”

你可千萬別理會。

我堅信只要選擇一條你感興趣的路，不排除愛情、敏銳以及與別人的合作，而是堅定地認為，通過你自身的努力能夠感動他人，不把成功或者失敗作為你生活的標準，那么你就可能成為值得自己敬佩的人。

三、FAITH

Napolean Hill

Faith is the “eternal elixir”

Which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!

Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!

Faith is the basis of all “miracles”，And all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of scienc

e!

Faith is the only known antidote for failure!

Faith is the element, the “chemical” which，When mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infin

ite Intelligence.Faith is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the spiritual equival

ent.Faith is the only agency through which

the cosmic force of Infinite

Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.信念

拿破侖*希爾

信念是“永恒的萬應靈藥”，它賦予突發奇想以生命、力量和行動！

信念是所有財富積累的起點！

信念是一切“奇跡”

以及所有科學法則無法分析的奧秘的根基！

信念是惟一已知失敗之解藥！

信念是重要元素、“化學物質”，一旦與祈禱結合便會使你與上帝直接溝通。

人類的智慧固然有限，普通的靈感閃現一經信念指點，便會轉換成精神震撼。

信念是惟一的中介，通過它

上帝的宇宙力會成為人類開發和利用的資源。

四、ON CHANGES

Irene Dunlap

Change is the only absolute

in the world，the only thing

that you can depend on.Nothing stays the same.Tomorrow will come，bringing with it

new beginnings and sometimes

unexpected endings.You can hold on to the past

and get left in the dust;

or, you can choose to

jump on the ride of life

and live a new adventure

with perseverance

and an open mind.論變化

艾琳*鄧萊普

變化是世界上

惟一絕對的東西，是惟一

你能相信的事情。

沒有什么能一成不變，明天將來臨，它會帶來

新的開始，并且有時

還會帶來意想不到的結局。

你可以抓住過去，蒙受遺棄；

或者，你可以選擇

躍上生命之車

進行一次新的冒險，憑借堅持不懈

和廣闊的胸懷。

五、RESULTS AND ROSES

Edgar Albert Guest

The man who wants a garden fair，Or small or very big，With flowers growing here and there，Must bend his back and dig.The things are mighty few on earth，That wishes can attain，Whatever we want of any worth，We ve got to work to gain.It matters not what goal you seek，Its secret here reposes:

You ve got to dig from week to week，To get results or roses.碩果和玫瑰

埃德加*阿爾貝特*格斯特

要想有個美麗花園，面積大小姑且不管，只要園中長滿鮮花，就必須把汗水揮灑。

有愿望就能實現，這樣的事還真是少見，只要想要的東西有價值，就得靠努力去創造。

目標是什么并不重要，秘訣終歸只有一條：

周復一周不怕勞累，才能收獲碩果或者玫瑰

《青 春》

作者：薩繆爾·厄爾曼 王佐良 翻譯

青春不是年華，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、恢宏的想像、熾熱的感情；青春是生命的深泉涌流。

青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，并非垂老；理想丟棄，方墮暮年。

歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹唐必致靈魂。憂煩、惶恐、喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。

無論年屆花甲，抑或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡愉，奇跡之感召，孩童般天真久盛不衰。

《青 春》

黃志堅 翻譯

青春，并非年輕歲月，而是一種心態；青春的特征，并非粉頰、朱唇、柔肢，而是毅力、激情、創意；青春是生命涌泉的清澈、激揚。

青春，是指超越怯懦、勇氣如虹，不圖安逸、敢闖敢試。毅力若此，花甲多勝弱冠。年歲遞增，非必老化；背棄理想，方陷殘年。

歲月留痕，只及肌膚；激情不再，皺起心靈。憂懼自卑，終致身心佝僂、精神萎靡。

無論年少或年長，當懷好奇的誘導，像孩子般總渴求著：接下來的進展及馳騁人生的歡樂。

人人皆有心靈的感官，只要感受源源來自人間與穹蒼的啟發，感應有關美好、希望、激情、勇毅和能力的信息，你就會朝氣勃勃、青春無限。

Youth

Samuel Ullman

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.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 sixty more than a body of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.Years may 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 sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game of living.In the center of your heart and my heart there is awireless 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.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 twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism,there is hope you may die young at eighty.點 評：

《青春》，是薩繆爾·厄爾曼的名作，薩繆爾·厄爾曼，1840 年生于德國，兒時隨家人移居美國，參加過南北戰爭，后定居伯明翰，經營五金雜貨，年逾70方開始寫作，《青春》是其名作，發表之后，洛陽紙貴，廣為傳誦，乃至代代相傳。二戰期間，麥克阿瑟與日軍角逐于太平洋時，將此文鑲于鏡框，擺在寫字臺上作為座右銘以資自勉。

日本戰敗，此文由東京美軍總部傳出，有人將它灌成錄音帶，廣為銷售；甚至有人把它揣在衣兜里，隨時研讀。

多年后，厄爾曼之孫、美國電影發行協會主席喬納斯·羅森菲爾德訪問日本，席間談及《青春》一文，一位與宴者隨手掏出《青春》，恭敬說：“乃翁文章，鄙人總不離身?！敝骺徒匀f分感動。

1988 年，日本數百名流聚會東京、大阪，紀念厄爾曼的這篇文章。松下電器公司元老松下幸之助感慨的說：“20年來，《青春》與我朝夕相伴，它是我的座右銘?！睔W洲一位政界名宿也極力推薦：“無論男女老幼，要想活得風光，就得拜讀《青春》?！?/p>

第四篇：青春,英文演講稿

篇一：英語演講稿 青春

青春英語演講稿[標簽：演講稿 英語]小學精華資訊 免費訂閱 首先 我想問大家兩個問題：

1、你知道青春是什么么？

2、你怎樣主宰自己的青春？ 青春

青春不是指歲月，而是指心態。粉嫩的臉，紅潤的唇，矯健的膝并不是青春。青春表現在意志的堅強與懦弱。想象的豐富與蒼白、情感的充沛與貧乏等方面。青春是生命深處清泉的噴涌。

青春是追求。只有當勇氣蓋過怯弱、進取壓倒茍安之時，青春才存在。果如此，則60見之長者比20歲之少年更具青春活力。僅僅歲月的流逝并不能使他們衰老。而一旦拋棄理想和信念，則垂垂老也。

歲月只能使皮膚起皺。而一旦喪失生活的激情，則連靈魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫無活力。60歲長者也好，16歲少年也罷，每個人的內心深處都渴望奇跡，都如孩子一般眨著期待的雙眼，期待著下一次，期待著生活的情趣，你我靈魂深處都有一座無線電中轉站------只有你我年輕，則總能聽到希望的呼喚，總能發出喜悅的歡呼，總能傳達勇氣的訊號，總能表現出青春的活力???

一旦青春的天線倒下，你的靈魂即為玩世不恭之雪、悲觀厭世之冰覆蓋；即使你年方20.其實你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天線高高聳起，就可以隨時接收到樂觀的電波-----即使你年過八旬，行將就木，而你卻仍然擁有青春，你仍然年輕。謝謝！first i want to ask you some questions:

你好，大家！我的名字是，我來自。今天，我站在這里與你分享我最真誠的演講。放飛青春，掌握我們的未來！

生命是一個成長的過程。告別童年，我們步入生命’這是青年的另一個重要的時間。然而，誰真的可以說青春是什么？一段時間？信仰？一種生活態度？或是其他的什么？我們不知道。一個著名的詩人說，青春是一首可愛的歌，沒有什么是不可能的；青春是一個有意義的書，你將永遠不會厭倦；青春是一條湍急的河流，它不斷流動的白天和夜晚；青春是一杯茶，它表明你不同的生活品味。

青春是如此的珍貴，當然，我們一定要珍惜它。不要讓有限的時間過去了，沒有留下任何的意義，我們的未來。事實上，年輕人有很多事情要做，我們的未來。我們準備好的未來是必要的。所以，我們應該做些什么呢？在這里，我將指出一些技巧來幫助我們自己的裝備 首先，認識到你的未來方向。在其他的話，想想你的某一天。一個老師嗎？醫生？一個作家？不要害怕思考大和巨大的。因為你還年輕，你可以夢想做什么和將來成為任何人

更重要的是，永遠不要忽視知識的力量。閱讀更多的書籍和旅游。首先，它可以增加你的知識，另一個，它會拓寬你的視野。最后但并非最不重要的，堅持你的夢想。說起來容易做起來難.畢竟，未來是不是所有的玫瑰。因此，我們應該有足夠的勇氣和決心克服一切困難。我堅信一句話：敢于夢想就可以實現！“請相信我們能做到！要實現我們的夢想，走。飛揚的青春，把握我們的未來。從今天開始，從現在開始，從平中學！準備好了嗎？ 這一切。謝謝你的關注篇三：英語演講稿：關于青春演講稿

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.青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，并非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。

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.歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。

? 【年輕】有的版本譯為【青春】。是德裔美籍人塞繆爾.厄爾曼70多年前寫的一篇只有四百多字的短文。據說美國的麥克阿瑟將軍在指揮整個太平洋戰爭期間，辦公桌上始終擺著裝有短文《年輕》復印件的鏡框，文中的許多的詞句常被他在談話或開會作報告時引用。后來此文傳到日本，在日本成千上萬的讀者把它抄下來當作座右銘收藏，許多中老年人把它當作為安排后半生的精神支柱。文章的觀點成為許多日本人生活哲學的基礎，他們甚至將此文裝在隨身帶的皮夾子里，有空就讀一遍。著名的松下公司的創始人松下幸之助說：“多年來，《青春》始終是我的座右銘。” ? 日本人為這部散文詩所傾倒。而在美國伯明翰Birmingham, Alabama，人們對這位作者知之不多。后來才在日本人的資助下建立了Samuel Ullman博物館。?
