英文名篇 青春

背景：太平洋战争打得正酣之时，麦克阿瑟将军常常从繁忙中抬起头，注视着挂在墙上的镜框，镜框里是篇文章，名为《青春》。这篇文章一直伴随着他，也跟着他到了日本。后来，日本人在东京的美军总部发现了它，《青春》便开始在日本流传。

一位资深的日本问题观察家说，在日本实业界，只要有成就者，没有哪一个不熟知不应用这篇美文的，就连松下电器的创始人松下幸之助几十年来也把《青春》当作他的座右铭。

还有这么一件趣事，足以证明《青春》在日本的魅力。一天，美国影片销售协会主席罗森菲尔德参加日本实业界的聚会，晚宴之前的谈话，他随意说了一句：“《青春》的作者，便是我的祖父。”在座的各位实业界领袖大为惊讶，其中有一位一边激动地说“我一直随身带着它呢”，一边从口袋里掏出了《青春》。《青春》是怎样的一篇文章，它怎就这么神奇？

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, 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 spring back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike 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.青春（汉译）

缪尔·厄尔曼

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，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，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。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。一旦天线倒下，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要竖起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

英文励志名篇

Nobody grows merely by the number of years;we grow old by deserting our ideas.Youth

By Samuel Erman

Youth is not a time of life;it is a state of mind.青春不是年华，而是心境；

It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees.青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;而是深沉的意志、恢宏的想象、炽热的感情；

It is the freshness of the deep spring of life.青春是生命的源泉在涌流。

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, 青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，This often exits in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。

nobody grows merely by the number of years;we grow old by deserting our ideas.年岁有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.烦忧、惶恐、丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, 无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living.孩童般天真久盛不衰。

In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station;人人心中皆有一台天线，so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from infinite，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，so long as you are young.你就青春永驻，风华常存。

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism，一旦天线倒塌，锐气如同冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭，自暴自弃油然而生，then you've grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, 即使年方二十，实已老矣；

to catch waves of optimism, there's hope you may die young at 80.然则只要竖起天线，捕捉乐观的信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

一、THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE

Robert H.Schuller

Failure doesn t mean you are a failure，It does mean you haven t succeeded yet.Failure doesn t mean you have accomplished nothing，It does mean you have learned something.Failure doesn t mean you have been a fool，It does mean you had a lot of faith.Failure doesn t mean you ve been disgraced，It does mean you were willing to try.Failure doesn t mean you don t have it，It does mean you have to do something in a different way.Failure doesn t mean you are inferior，It does mean you are not perfect.Failure doesn t mean you ve wasted your life，It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.Failure doesn t mean you should give up，It does mean you must try harder.Failure doesn t mean you ll never make it，It does mean it will take a little longer.Failure doesn t mean God has abandoned you，It does mean God has a better idea.十大策略 失败的意义

罗伯特*H*舒勒

失败并不代表你是个失败者，它只表明你尚未成功。

失败并不代表你一无所获，它只表明你吸取了一次教训。

失败并不代表你很愚蠢，它只表明你信心百倍。

失败并不代表你无脸见人，它只表明你百折不回。

失败并不代表你工夫白费，它只表明你的做事方法尚待改进。

失败并不代表你低人一等。

它只表明你并非完人。

失败并不代表你浪费生命，它只表明你有理由重新开始。

失败并不代表你应该放弃，它只表明你要加倍努力。

失败并不代表成功永不属于你，它只表明你要付出更多的时间。

失败并不代表上帝已经抛弃你，它只表明上帝还有更好的主意。

二、FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE

Neil Simon

Don t listen to those who say，“It s not done that way.”

Maybe it s not, but maybe you will.Don t listen to those who say，“You re taking too big a chance.”

Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor，and it would surely be rubbed out by today.Most importantly, don t listen

When the little voice of fear inside of you

rear its ugly head and says，“They re all smarter than you out there.They re more talented，They re taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connection

s...”

I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you，Not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with o

thers，But with the strength of conviction

That you can move others by your own efforts，And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live,The chances are you ll be a person worthy of your own respect.走自己的路

尼尔*西蒙

别听那些人的话，“这事不能那么做。”

也许是不能那么做，可是也许你就会那么做。

别听那些人的话，“你这个险冒得太大了。”

米开朗琪罗可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作过画，到今天肯定已经被抹掉了。

最重要的是，当你心中恐惧的声音，抬起它丑陋的头说，“那边那些人都比你聪明，他们更有才华，他们更高大、皮肤更白、更漂亮、更幸运，并且认识各种各样的人„”

你可千万别理会。

我坚信只要选择一条你感兴趣的路，不排除爱情、敏锐以及与别人的合作，而是坚定地认为，通过你自身的努力能够感动他人，不把成功或者失败作为你生活的标准，那么你就可能成为值得自己敬佩的人。

三、FAITH

Napolean Hill

Faith is the “eternal elixir”

Which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!

Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!

Faith is the basis of all “miracles”，And all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of scienc

e!

Faith is the only known antidote for failure!

Faith is the element, the “chemical” which，When mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infin

ite Intelligence.Faith is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the spiritual equival

ent.Faith is the only agency through which

the cosmic force of Infinite

Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.信念

拿破仑*希尔

信念是“永恒的万应灵药”，它赋予突发奇想以生命、力量和行动！

信念是所有财富积累的起点！

信念是一切“奇迹”

以及所有科学法则无法分析的奥秘的根基！

信念是惟一已知失败之解药！

信念是重要元素、“化学物质”，一旦与祈祷结合便会使你与上帝直接沟通。

人类的智慧固然有限，普通的灵感闪现一经信念指点，便会转换成精神震撼。

信念是惟一的中介，通过它

上帝的宇宙力会成为人类开发和利用的资源。

四、ON CHANGES

Irene Dunlap

Change is the only absolute

in the world，the only thing

that you can depend on.Nothing stays the same.Tomorrow will come，bringing with it

new beginnings and sometimes

unexpected endings.You can hold on to the past

and get left in the dust;

or, you can choose to

jump on the ride of life

and live a new adventure

with perseverance

and an open mind.论变化

艾琳*邓莱普

变化是世界上

惟一绝对的东西，是惟一

你能相信的事情。

没有什么能一成不变，明天将来临，它会带来

新的开始，并且有时

还会带来意想不到的结局。

你可以抓住过去，蒙受遗弃；

或者，你可以选择

跃上生命之车

进行一次新的冒险，凭借坚持不懈

和广阔的胸怀。

五、RESULTS AND ROSES

Edgar Albert Guest

The man who wants a garden fair，Or small or very big，With flowers growing here and there，Must bend his back and dig.The things are mighty few on earth，That wishes can attain，Whatever we want of any worth，We ve got to work to gain.It matters not what goal you seek，Its secret here reposes:

You ve got to dig from week to week，To get results or roses.硕果和玫瑰

埃德加*阿尔贝特*格斯特

要想有个美丽花园，面积大小姑且不管，只要园中长满鲜花，就必须把汗水挥洒。

有愿望就能实现，这样的事还真是少见，只要想要的东西有价值，就得靠努力去创造。

目标是什么并不重要，秘诀终归只有一条：

周复一周不怕劳累，才能收获硕果或者玫瑰

第三篇：散文诗名篇赏析《Youth 青春》中英文

经典英语名篇文章：青春

作者：Samuel Ullman

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、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

经典英语文章《青春》背后的故事：

太平洋战争打得正酣之时，麦克阿瑟将军常常从繁忙中抬起头，注视着挂在墙上的镜框，镜框里是篇文章，名为《青春》。这篇文章一直伴随着他，也跟着他到了日本。后来，日本人在东京的美军总部发现了它，《青春》便开始在日本流传。

一位资深的日本问题观察家说，在日本实业界，只要有成就者，没有哪一个不熟知不应用这篇美文的，就连松下电器的创始人松下幸之助几十年来也把《青春》当作他的座右铭。

还有这么一件趣事，足以证明《青春》在日本的魅力。一天，美国影片销售协会主席罗森菲尔德参加日本实业界的聚会，晚宴之前的谈话，他随意说了一句：“《青春》的作者，便是我的祖父。”在座的各位实业界领袖大为惊讶，其中有一位一边激动地说“我一直随身带着它呢”，一边从口袋里掏出了《青春》。

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 exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.nobody grows merely by the number of years;we grow old by deserting our ideas.Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.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、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

一旦天线倒塌，锐气被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，几十年方二十，实已垂老矣；然则只要竖起天线，捕捉乐观的信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉得年轻。

散 文 诗 名 篇 赏 析

《青 春》

作者：萨缪尔·厄尔曼 王佐良 翻译

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、恢宏的想像、炽热的感情；青春是生命的深泉涌流。

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，颓唐必致灵魂。忧烦、惶恐、丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢愉，奇迹之感召，孩童般天真久盛不衰。

人的心灵应如浩淼瀚海，只有不断接纳美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的百川，才能青春永驻、风华长存。

一旦心海枯竭，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要虚怀若谷，让喜悦、达观、仁爱充盈其间，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

《青 春》

黄志坚 翻译

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。

英文版原文

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, 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 sixty more than a body of twenty.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 sixty or sixteen, 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 awireless 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 twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism,there is hope you may die young at eighty.点 评：

《青春》，是萨缪尔·厄尔曼的名作，萨缪尔·厄尔曼，1840 年生于德国，儿时随家人移居美国，参加过南北战争，后定居伯明翰，经营五金杂货，年逾70方开始写作，《青春》是其名作，发表之后，洛阳纸贵，广为传诵，乃至代代相传。二战期间，麦克阿瑟与日军角逐于太平洋时，将此文镶于镜框，摆在写字台上作为座右铭以资自勉。

日本战败，此文由东京美军总部传出，有人将它灌成录音带，广为销售；甚至有人把它揣在衣兜里，随时研读。

多年后，厄尔曼之孙、美国电影发行协会主席乔纳斯·罗森菲尔德访问日本，席间谈及《青春》一文，一位与宴者随手掏出《青春》，恭敬说：“乃翁文章，鄙人总不离身。”主客皆万分感动。

1988 年，日本数百名流聚会东京、大阪，纪念厄尔曼的这篇文章。松下电器公司元老松下幸之助感慨的说：“20年来，《青春》与我朝夕相伴，它是我的座右铭。”欧洲一位政界名宿也极力推荐：“无论男女老幼，要想活得风光，就得拜读《青春》。”

需要指出的是，《青春》中英文均经编辑精心校对，作为精校典藏版发布，建议您收藏，经常阅读，并转发分享给自己的好朋友。

第四篇：青春,英文演讲稿

篇一：英语演讲稿 青春

青春英语演讲稿[标签：演讲稿 英语]小学精华资讯 免费订阅 首先 我想问大家两个问题：

1、你知道青春是什么么？

2、你怎样主宰自己的青春？ 青春

青春不是指岁月，而是指心态。粉嫩的脸，红润的唇，矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。

青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时，青春才存在。果如此，则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念，则垂垂老也。

岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情，则连灵魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫无活力。60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻，则总能听到希望的呼唤，总能发出喜悦的欢呼，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表现出青春的活力„„„

一旦青春的天线倒下，你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖；即使你年方20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。谢谢！first i want to ask you some questions:

1、do you know what is youth?

2、how do you master your youth?youth youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind;it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness;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 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 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living.in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are 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.thank you!篇二：英语演讲稿“青春_梦想” flying youth, master our future distinguished judges, teachers, dear friends life is a process of growing up.saying goodbye to childhood, we step into another important time of life‘the youth’.however, who can really say what the youth is ? a period of time? a belief？ an attitude to life? or anything else? we don’t know.a famous poet said ‘ youth is a lovely song ,where nothing is impossible;youth is a meaningful book, you’ll be never bored of it ；youth is a rapid river ,it keeps on flowing day and night ；youth is a cup of tea ,it shows you different kinds of tastes in your life.’

你好，大家！我的名字是，我来自。今天，我站在这里与你分享我最真诚的演讲。放飞青春，掌握我们的未来！

生命是一个成长的过程。告别童年，我们步入生命’这是青年的另一个重要的时间。然而，谁真的可以说青春是什么？一段时间？信仰？一种生活态度？或是其他的什么？我们不知道。一个著名的诗人说，青春是一首可爱的歌，没有什么是不可能的；青春是一个有意义的书，你将永远不会厌倦；青春是一条湍急的河流，它不断流动的白天和夜晚；青春是一杯茶，它表明你不同的生活品味。

青春是如此的珍贵，当然，我们一定要珍惜它。不要让有限的时间过去了，没有留下任何的意义，我们的未来。事实上，年轻人有很多事情要做，我们的未来。我们准备好的未来是必要的。所以，我们应该做些什么呢？在这里，我将指出一些技巧来帮助我们自己的装备 首先，认识到你的未来方向。在其他的话，想想你的某一天。一个老师吗？医生？一个作家？不要害怕思考大和巨大的。因为你还年轻，你可以梦想做什么和将来成为任何人

更重要的是，永远不要忽视知识的力量。阅读更多的书籍和旅游。首先，它可以增加你的知识，另一个，它会拓宽你的视野。最后但并非最不重要的，坚持你的梦想。说起来容易做起来难.毕竟，未来是不是所有的玫瑰。因此，我们应该有足够的勇气和决心克服一切困难。我坚信一句话：敢于梦想就可以实现！“请相信我们能做到！要实现我们的梦想，走。飞扬的青春，把握我们的未来。从今天开始，从现在开始，从平中学！准备好了吗？ 这一切。谢谢你的关注篇三：英语演讲稿：关于青春演讲稿

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，炙热的恋情；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 spring 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。

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike 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.无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
