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, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring 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 childlike appetite for 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‘ve 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.
青春
塞缪尔·厄尔曼
人生匆匆，青春不是易逝的一段。青春应是一种永恒的心态。满脸红光，嘴唇红润，腿脚灵活，这些都不是青春的全部。真正的青春啊，它是一种坚强的意志，是一种想象力的高品位，是感情充沛饱满，是生命之泉的清澈常新。
青春意味着勇敢战胜怯懦，青春意味着进取战胜安逸，年月的轮回就一定导致衰老吗？要知道呵，老态龙钟是因为放弃了对真理的追求。
无情岁月的流逝，留下了深深的皱纹，而热忱的丧失，会在深处打下烙印。焦虑、恐惧、自卑，终会使心情沮丧，意志消亡。
60也罢，16也罢，每个人的心田都应保持着不泯的意志，去探索新鲜的事物，去追求人生乐趣。我们的心中都应有座无线电台，只要不断地接受来自人类和上帝的美感、希望、勇气和力量，我们就会永葆青春。倘若你收起天线，使自己的心灵蒙上玩世不恭的霜雪和悲观厌世的冰凌，即使你年方20，你已垂垂老矣；倘若你已经80高龄，临于辞世，若竖起天线去收听乐观进取的电波，你仍会青春焕发。
2Love Your Life
热爱生活
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man\'s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town\'s poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.
不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。
If I were a boy again If I were a boy again,I would practice perseverance more often,and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient.If we want light,we must conquer darkness.Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results.“There are only two creatures,” syas a proverb,“who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.” If I were a boy again,I would school myself into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand.I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.The habit of attention becomes part of our life,if we begain early enough.I often hear grown up people say “ I could not fix my attention on the sermon or book,although I wished to do so” ,and the reason is,the habit was not formed in youth.If I were to live my life over again,I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory.I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means,and on every possible occasion.It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself,and gives very little trouble.It only needs early cultivation to become a power.假如我又回到了童年,我做事要更有毅力,决不因为事情艰难或者麻烦而撒手不干,我们要光明,就得征服黑暗.毅力在效果上有时能同天才相比.俗话说：“能登上金字塔的生物,只有两种——鹰和蜗牛.”假如我又回到了童年,我就要养成专心致志的习惯；有事在手,就决不让任何东西让我分心.我要牢记：优秀的滑冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向.如果及早养成这种专心致志的习惯,它将成为我们生命的一部分.我常听成年人说：“虽然我希望能集中注意听牧师讲道或读书,但往往做不到.”而原因就是年轻时没有养成这种习惯.假如我现在能重新开始我的生命,我就要更注意记忆力的培养.我要采取一切可能的办法,并且在一切可能的场合,增强记忆力.要正确无误地记住一些东西,在开始阶段的确要作出一番小小的努力；但要不了多久,记忆力本身就会起作用,使记忆成为轻而易举的事,只需及早培养,记忆自会成为一种才能.If I were a boy again,I would cultivate courage.“Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage,nothing so cruel and pitiless as cowardice,” syas a wise author.We too often borrow trouble,and anticipate that may never appear.” The fear of ill exceeds the ill we fear.” Dangers will arise in any career,but presence of mind will often conquer the worst of them.Be prepared for any fate,and there is no harm to be freared.If I were a boy again,I would look on the cheerful side.Life is very much like a mirror:if you smile upon it,I smiles back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it,you will get a similar look in return.Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner,but of all that come in contact with it.“ who shuts love out ,in turn shall be shut out from love.” If I were a boy again,I would school myself to say no more often.I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect,and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy.If I were a boy again,I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends,and indeed towards strangers as well.The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long,and make that season of ice and snow more endurable.Finally,instead of trying hard to be happy,as if that were the sole purpose of life,I would ,if I were a boy again,I would still try harder to make others happy.假如我又回到了童年,我就要培养勇气.一位明智的作家曾说过：“世上没有东西比勇气更温文尔雅,也没有东西比懦怯更残酷无情.”我们常常过多地自寻烦恼,杞人忧天.“怕祸害比祸害本身更可怕.”凡事都有危险,但镇定沉着往往能克服最严重的危险.对一切祸福做好准备,那么就没有什么灾难可以害怕的了.假如我又回到了童年,我就要事事乐观.生活犹如一面镜子：你朝它笑,它也朝你笑；如果你双眉紧锁,向它投以怀疑的目光,它也将还以你同样的目光.内心的欢乐不仅温暖了欢乐者自己的心,也温暖了所有与之接触者的心.“谁拒爱于门外,也必将被爱拒诸门外.”假如我又回到了童年,我就要养成经常说“不”字的习惯.一个少年要能挺得起腰,拒绝做不应该做的事,就因为这事不值得做.我可以写上好几页谈谈早年培养这一点的重要性.假如我又回到了童年,我就要要求自己对伙伴和朋友更加礼貌,而且对陌生人也应如此.在坎坷的生活道路上,最细小的礼貌犹如在漫长的冬天为我们歌唱的小鸟,那歌声使冰天雪地的寒冬变得较易忍受.最后,假如我又回到了童年,我不会力图为自己谋幸福,好像这就是人生唯一的目的；与之相反,我要更努力为他人谋幸福.
Hello, every one, today my topic is “what should I bring with me if I have to live in an lonely island”.that reminds me the story of Robinson, an Englishman who was shipwrecked on an lonely island. So today, I am Robinson. Look at my bag. Oh, it is too thin, so~
I put the small pillow in my bag. When it’s getting late, I can sleep on the pillow. I put my Teddy bear in my bag, he is fat and cute,he is my good friend. I love him very much. The sweet and the chocolate are in my bag too. I can eat them whenever. And~, I put the B-B gun in my bag. Maybe during the night, B-B gun can make me brave.
Ok, pillow, Teddy, sweet, chocolate and a B-B gun.
See you next time!
