第一篇:英文诗歌Youth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, 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。
Youth means a tempera-mental 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.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。
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。
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 80.一旦天线下降,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;然则只要树起天线,捕捉乐观信号,你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
关于作者:About the Poet Migrant:生于犹太家庭,与父母从德国移民美国

Businessman 战争结束后从商
Congregational Activist宗教活动人士,热心犹太教教团活动,大众公益事务,City Alderman :市政议员 Poet:退休后写诗,写散文
受影响者:美国将军麦克阿瑟General Douglas MacArthur 松下幸之助:Matsushita Kounosukeまつしたこうのすけ
有几个版本Versions “you are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt,” etc., is missing in From the Summit of Years
【年轻】有的版本译为【青春】。是德裔美籍人塞缪尔.厄尔曼70多年前写的一篇只有四百多字的短文。据说美国的麦克阿瑟将军在指挥整个太平洋战争期间,办公桌上始终摆着装有短文《年轻》复印件的镜框,文中的许多的词句常被他在谈话或开会作报告时引用。后来此文传到日本,在日本成千上万的读者把它抄下来当作座右铭收藏,许多中老年人把它当作为安排后半生的精神支柱。文章的观点成为许多日本人生活哲学的基础,他们甚至将此文装在随身带的皮夹子里,有空就读一遍。著名的松下公司的创始人松下幸之助说:“多年来,《青春》始终是我的座右铭。” 日本人为这部散文诗所倾倒。而在美国伯明翰Birmingham, Alabama,人们对这位作者知之不多。后来才在日本人的资助下建立了Samuel Ullman博物馆。

秦:Youth is not a time of life;it is a state of mind;
人生匆匆,青春不是易逝的一段。青春应是一种永恒的心态。
王:it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees;满脸红光,嘴唇红润,腿脚灵活,这些都不是青春的全部。
梁:it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;
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,黄:it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.是生命之泉的清澈常新
郑:Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.青春意味着勇敢战胜怯懦,青春意味着进取战胜安逸
秦: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.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。
王:Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.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。
黄“Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.焦虑、恐惧、自卑,终会使心情沮丧,意志消亡。
郑;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.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。
秦: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 as you are young.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。王: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, 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;
黄:but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.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。Thank you!

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 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 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.Weather 60 or 16, there is in every human beings heart the lure of wonders, 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 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’ve grown old, even at 20,but as long as your aerials are up to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.青春
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。
一旦天线倒塌时,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,实已八十。
第四篇:英文演讲比赛稿youth
Good evening, everyone.My name is--------.I am 15 years old, I am studying in Grade one in a junior middle school.At weekends I usually attend ubest English courses.Today, I’ll talk about the youth!
It is a universally acknowledged right to pursue personal youth, therefore, everybody talks about it, but few can go beyond the stereotyped expressions.What is youth actually? People have a wide range of perspectives to define it;some think youth is the condition of being young, yet some attach the idea of being happy to youth, that is to say, people who can always enjoy the life are described the young.In addition, some think youth belongs to everyone, which can leave them as well.Because the age moves all the time, No matter how people strive, she persists moving with silence.She flows like a waterfall that overshoots our boat of life, no one can escape.Still many people believe in money, that money can buy youth back for them, so consciously or unconsciously, they are always driven into the flow of consuming excessively.Look at any of the magazines that cater to women.There advertising begins as art and slogans in the front pages and ends as pills in the back pages.The art at the front illustrates the dream of the perfect beauty.This is the baby skin that must be hers.This, the perfumed breath she must breathe out.This, the sixteen-year-old figure she must display at forty, at fifty, at sixty, and forever.This is the cream that restores skin, these are the tablets that melt away fat around the thighs, and these are the pills for perpetual youth.So I often think, what is youth exactly? One day I stare into the distant night sky, the frequent winkle of the stars gives me answer, indeed, youth is nothing but full of wisdom and faith, full of insight into life, full of passion and hope, full of hopes and dreams.Of course, youth is not only a period of their early life, but it also a condition that we are optimistic towards life.Youth is a priceless treasure that god entitles every one of us, that we should always cherish it, holding it tight in our hand by studying hard, and it is our duty to treat people around you seriously with a kind and warm heart, So that the happiness as well as youth can surround you all the time.That’s all, thanks for listening!
