英語聽力材料《青春是什么》
對于青春,你會(huì)想起些什么?你覺得青春是什么?下面這篇英語聽力也許會(huì)告訴你答案。
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and suppleknees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, and a vigor of the emotions; it is thefreshness of the deep springs of life.
青春,并非人生的一段時(shí)光,而是一種精神狀態(tài);亦非粉頰紅唇和冰肌柔骨,而是剛強(qiáng)的意志、靈秀的想像和充滿活力的情感;它是使生命之泉永不枯竭的常青樹。
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.
青春,意味著一種非凡氣質(zhì):敢做敢為而不怯懦退縮、甘冒 風(fēng)險(xiǎn)而不貪戀安逸。在一位60歲老者的身上,這種氣質(zhì)的存在 可能甚于20歲的小伙子。沒有人會(huì)單單由于歲月的流逝而衰 老,有的人卻因?yàn)榉艞壚硐攵蠎B(tài)龍鐘。
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrustbows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
流年時(shí)光可以在皮膚上留下皺紋,而熄滅熱情則會(huì)使心靈 起皺。憂慮、恐懼和缺乏自信只會(huì)使人心胸狹隘,心灰意冷。
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlikeappetite 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.
不管是60歲還是16歲,每個(gè)人的心里都會(huì)被新奇事物所 吸引,都會(huì)像孩子一樣對未來洋溢著無窮無盡的憧憬,都會(huì)在生 活的游戲(境遇)之中獲取歡樂。在你我心靈的深處,都有一座 無線電臺(tái):只要它從人群中間和造物主那里接收到美、希望、鼓 勵(lì)、勇氣和力量的電波,你我就會(huì)青春常在。
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice ofpessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves ofoptimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.
一旦這座電臺(tái)的天線收攏,一旦玩世不恭的冷雪和悲觀絕 望的寒冰覆蓋了你的心靈,即使你只有20歲,也未老先衰了;但 是只要它的天線始終豎立在你的心中,捕捉著每一個(gè)樂觀向上 的電波,縱使你80而逝之時(shí)也會(huì)青春永駐。
