254@365-2023——青春VS岁月

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，炙热的感情；
青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
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.
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。
