人生如诗--林语堂
(同龄一个寝室的战友)
我以为 从生物学角度看
人的一生恰如诗歌
人生自有其韵律和节奏
自有内在的生成与衰亡
人生始于无邪的童年
经过少年的青涩
带着激情与无知 理想与雄心
笨拙而努力地走向成熟
后来人到壮年 经历渐广
阅人渐多 涉世渐深 收益也渐大
及至中年 人生的紧张得以舒缓
人的性格日渐成熟 如芳馥之果实
如醇美之佳酿 更具容忍之心
处世虽更悲观 但对人生的态度趋于和善
再后来就是人生迟暮 内分泌系统活动减少

若此时我辈已经悟得老年真谛
并据此安排残年 那生活将和平
宁静 安详而知足 终于
生命之烛摇曳而终熄灭
人开始永恒的长眠 不再醒来
Human Life a Poem
I think that from a biological standpoint
human life almost reads like a poem
It has its own rhythm and beat
its internal cycles of growth and decay
It begins with innocent childhood
followed by awkward adolescence trying
awkwardly to adapt itself to mature society
with its young passions and follies
its ideals and ambitions then it reaches
a manhood of intense activities
profiting from experience and
learning more about society and human nature
at middle age there is a slight easing of tension
a mellowing of character like the ripening of
fruit or the mellowing of good wine
and the gradual acquiring of a more tolerant
more cynical and at the same time
a kindlier view of life
then In the sunset of our life
the endocrine glands decrease their activity
and if we have a true philosophy of old age and
have ordered our life pattern according to it
it is for us the age of peace and security
and leisure and contentment finally
life flickers out and one goes into
eternal sleep never to wake up again
