关于Youth的英语名言

武夷山 辑译

   2015年的五四青年节，我贴出了一些含有youth（青年、青春）的英语名言。这个青年节，我重新贴出这些名言，并再增加一批含有youth的名人语录。新增的放在前面。

——Edwin Markham，埃德温·马卡姆（1852～1940），美国诗人

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, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

青春指的不是一段生命时光，而是一种心境；不是红扑扑的脸庞、红润的嘴唇与灵活自如的膝盖，而是意志力、想象力的水平和情感的强度，是生命之深泉的鲜美。

----Samuel Ullman，（1840-1924），美国商人、诗人

大概人生最幸福的阶段最经常发生于中年，此时青春期的如火激情已经消褪，而风烛残年的衰老期尚未开始。正如我们所注意到的，早晨和傍晚时分的影子很长，而在正午时分，影子则几乎完全消失不见了。

----艾莲诺. 罗斯福（罗斯福总统夫人）
