青春
今日翻看往日的笔记，看到了塞缪尔.厄尔曼的《青春》，无限感叹：红颜易老，流年匆匆。当懂得珍惜的时候，却已是缓慢步向而立之年。偶尔在小朋友的叫声中猛回头，原来我已经是很多人的叔叔了！回望过去3年，猛然醒悟，青春不是一段年华，而是一种心境。看过的4个版本中，还是喜欢王佐良先生翻译的。那段美好的文字，那段难忘的青春，让我不经想起了少年中国说，同样的年轻，同样的生命，同样的希望。“故今日之责任，不在他人，而全在我少年。少年智则国智，少年富则国富；少年强则国强，少年独立则国独立；少年自由则国自由，少年进步则国进步；少年胜于欧洲则国胜于欧洲，少年雄于地球则国雄于地球。红日初升，其道大光。河出伏流，一泻汪洋。潜龙腾渊，鳞爪飞扬。乳虎啸谷，百兽震惶。鹰隼试翼，风尘翕张。奇花初胎，矞矞皇皇。干将发硎，有作其芒。天戴其苍，地履其黄。纵有千古，横有八荒。前途似海，来日方长。美哉，我少年中国，与天不老！壮哉，我中国少年，与国无疆！”我们依然年轻，只要我们不停著自己的脚步；我们依然青春，只要我们永记着追梦的心怀。青春万岁，生命万岁！
附1：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,and 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 spirit back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, 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 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.
附2：青春 王佐良 （我喜爱的版本）
青春不是年华，而是心态；青春不是粉面、红唇、柔膝，而是坚强的意志、恢弘的想象、炙热的恋情；青春是生命深处的自在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧虑、惶恐、丧失自信，定使灵魂扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，好奇之冲动，孩童般天真久盛不衰。
你我心中都有一台天线，只要你从天上、人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就会青春永驻，风华长存。
一旦天线坠下，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即便年方二十，实则垂垂老矣；然而只要竖起天线，捕捉乐观信号，即使八十高龄，行将告别尘寰，你也会觉得年轻依旧、希望永存。
附3：青春 黄志坚（同样的精彩）
青春，并非年轻岁月，而是一种心态；青春的特征，并非粉颊、朱唇、柔肢，而是毅力、激情、创意；青春是生命涌泉的清澈、激扬。
青春，是指超越怯懦、勇气如虹，不图安逸、敢闯敢试。毅力若此，花甲多胜弱冠。年岁递增，非必老化；背弃理想，方陷残年。
岁月留痕，只及肌肤；激情不再，皱起心灵。忧惧自卑，终致身心佝偻、精神萎靡。
无论年少或年长，当怀好奇的诱导，像孩子般总渴求着：接下来的进展及驰骋人生的欢乐。
人人皆有心灵的感官，只要感受源源来自人间与穹苍的启发，感应有关美好、希望、激情、勇毅和能力的信息，你就会朝气勃勃、青春无限。
