Man's youth is a wonderful thing： it's so full of anguish and of magic and he never comes to know it as it is， until it has gone from him forever. It is the thing he cannot bear to lose， it's the thing whose passing he watches with infinite sorrow and regret， it's the thing whose loss with a sad and secret joy， the thing he would never willingly relive again， could it be restored to him by any magic.
青春奇妙無窮，充滿魅力，充滿痛楚。青春年少的時候根本不知青春為何物，直到青春一去不復返了才對青春有了真正的認識。誰都想讓青春永駐，不忍青春離去； 眼睜睜地看著青春流逝，心中會湧起無窮的憂傷和惋惜；青春的失去是人們永遠感到悲哀的事；青春的失去是人們真正覺得悲喜交集的事；即便奇蹟出現青春復甦， 誰都不會心甘情願重度青春的歲月。
精選英語美文摘抄（二）Why is this? The reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life is nowhere else so evident as in our youth. And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life which we feel so poignant ， so unutterable， with such a bitter pain and joy， when we are young? It's this： that being rich， we are so poor； that being mighty， we can yet have nothing； that seeing， breathig， smelling， tasting all around us the impossible wealth and glory of this earth， feeling with an intolerable certitude that the whole structure of the enchanted life – the most fortunate， wealthy， good， and happy life that any man has ever known – is ours – is ours at once， immediately and forever， the moment that we choose to take a step， or stretch a hand， or say a word—— we yet know that we can really keep， hold， take， and possess forever—— nothing. All passes； nothing lasts： the moment that we put our hand upon it ， it melts away like smoke， is gone forever， and the snake is eating at our heart again； we see then what we are and what our lives must come to.
為什麼如此？因為在青春時代，生活充滿了奇特而辛酸的不可思議的事。我們在青春年少時帶著悲喜交集的心情，十分強烈而不可名狀地感受到人生的奇特辛酸、不 可思議的經歷。其實質是什麼呢？其實質是這樣的：青春年少的時候，雖然殷實富足，卻非常貧窮；雖然力氣強大，卻一無所有；世間的富貴榮華觸目皆是，簡直可 以呼吸到，聞到嗅到，還可以品嚐到，心中的自信按捺不住，深切地感受到整個被陶醉了的生活——人類迄今為止所知道的最幸運、最富有的美好幸福的生活， 只要我們決定向前邁步，奮發努力，便立即歸我們所有了，並將永遠屬於我們。然而，我們知道，我們真的永遠不能抓到什麼，永遠不能獲得什麼，永遠不能佔有什 麼。一切匆匆過去，蕩然無存。我們一出手它就煙消雲散，飄然而去，一去不復返了。於是，心中泛起陣陣隱痛，看到了自己真實的'面孔，看到了自己未來生活的必 然走向。
精選英語美文摘抄（三）Youth is not a time of life; it's 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 spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing 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, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your 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.
青春不是年華，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹脣、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢巨集的想象，炙熱的戀情；青春是生命的深泉在湧流。
青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒苟安。如此銳氣，二十後生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，並非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。
歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。
無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇蹟之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的訊號，你就青春永駐，風華常存。 、
一旦天線下降，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣；然則只要樹起天線，捕捉樂觀訊號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。
