第一篇：英文詩(shī)歌Youth青春

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。

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(zhǎng)虹，勇銳蓋過(guò)怯弱，進(jìn)取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生而有之，六旬男子則更多見(jiàn)。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。

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(wú)論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂(lè)，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺(tái)天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂(lè)、勇氣和力量的信號(hào)，你就青春永駐，風(fēng)華常存。

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 80.一旦天線下降，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(shí)已垂垂老矣；然則只要樹(shù)起天線，捕捉樂(lè)觀信號(hào)，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時(shí)仍覺(jué)年輕。

秦：Youth is not a time of life;it is a state of mind;

人生匆匆，青春不是易逝的一段。青春應(yīng)是一種永恒的心態(tài)。

王：it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees;滿臉紅光，嘴唇紅潤(rùn)，腿腳靈活，這些都不是青春的全部。

梁：it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;

鄭：Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.青春意味著勇敢戰(zhàn)勝怯懦，青春意味著進(jìn)取戰(zhàn)勝安逸

秦：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.年月的輪回就一定導(dǎo)致衰老嗎？要知道呵，老態(tài)龍鐘是因?yàn)榉艞壛藢?duì)真理的追求。

王：Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.無(wú)情歲月的流逝，留下了深深的皺紋，而熱忱的喪失，會(huì)在深處打下烙印。

黃“Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.焦慮、恐懼、自卑，終會(huì)使心情沮喪，意志消亡。

鄭；Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living.60也罷，16也罷，每個(gè)人的心田都應(yīng)保持著不泯的意志，去探索新鮮的事物，去追求人生樂(lè)趣。

秦：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 as you are young.我們的心中都應(yīng)有座無(wú)線電臺(tái)，只要不斷地接受來(lái)自人類和上帝的美感、希望、勇氣和力量，我們就會(huì)永葆青春。王：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, 倘若你收起天線，使自己的心靈蒙上玩世不恭的霜雪和悲觀厭世的冰凌，即使你年方20，你已垂垂老矣；

黃：but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.倘若你已經(jīng)80高齡，臨于辭世，若豎起天線去收聽(tīng)樂(lè)觀進(jìn)取的電波，你仍會(huì)青春煥發(fā)。Thank you!

第三篇：演講稿——youth 青春

Youth 這篇不足500字的短文，半個(gè)世紀(jì)來(lái)一直產(chǎn)生轟動(dòng)效應(yīng)：美國(guó)麥克阿瑟將軍生前將其視為座右銘，日本許多名流也將其放在隨身的錢(qián)夾里。

一旦天線倒塌時(shí)，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(shí)已八十。

第四篇：英文演講比賽稿youth

Good evening, everyone.My name is--------.I am 15 years old, I am studying in Grade one in a junior middle school.At weekends I usually attend ubest English courses.Today, I’ll talk about the youth!

It is a universally acknowledged right to pursue personal youth, therefore, everybody talks about it, but few can go beyond the stereotyped expressions.What is youth actually? People have a wide range of perspectives to define it;some think youth is the condition of being young, yet some attach the idea of being happy to youth, that is to say, people who can always enjoy the life are described the young.In addition, some think youth belongs to everyone, which can leave them as well.Because the age moves all the time, No matter how people strive, she persists moving with silence.She flows like a waterfall that overshoots our boat of life, no one can escape.Still many people believe in money, that money can buy youth back for them, so consciously or unconsciously, they are always driven into the flow of consuming excessively.Look at any of the magazines that cater to women.There advertising begins as art and slogans in the front pages and ends as pills in the back pages.The art at the front illustrates the dream of the perfect beauty.This is the baby skin that must be hers.This, the perfumed breath she must breathe out.This, the sixteen-year-old figure she must display at forty, at fifty, at sixty, and forever.This is the cream that restores skin, these are the tablets that melt away fat around the thighs, and these are the pills for perpetual youth.So I often think, what is youth exactly? One day I stare into the distant night sky, the frequent winkle of the stars gives me answer, indeed, youth is nothing but full of wisdom and faith, full of insight into life, full of passion and hope, full of hopes and dreams.Of course, youth is not only a period of their early life, but it also a condition that we are optimistic towards life.Youth is a priceless treasure that god entitles every one of us, that we should always cherish it, holding it tight in our hand by studying hard, and it is our duty to treat people around you seriously with a kind and warm heart, So that the happiness as well as youth can surround you all the time.That’s all, thanks for listening!
