No young man believes he shall ever die. It was a saying of my brother's,翻譯 and a fine one. There is a feeling of Eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods. One half of time indeed is flown--the other half remains in store for us with all its countless treasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. We make the coming age our own.年輕人不相信自己會死。這是英文我哥哥的話，可算得一句妙語。美文青春有一種永生之感－－它能彌補一切。翻譯人在青年時代好像一尊永生的英文神明。誠然，美文生命的翻譯一半已經消失，但蘊藏著不盡財富的英文另一半還有所保留，我們對它也抱著無窮的美文希望和幻想。未來的翻譯時代完全屬于我們－－The vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.無限遼闊的遠景在我們面前展現。Death,英文 old age, are words without a meaning, that pass by us like the idle air which we regard not. Others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them--we bear a charmed life, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. As in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward.死亡，老年，美文不過是翻譯空話，毫無意義；我們聽了，英文只當耳邊風，美文全不放在心上。這些事，別人也許經歷過，或者可能要承受，但是我們自己，“在靈符護佑下度日”，對于諸如此類脆弱的念頭，統統付之輕蔑的一笑。像是剛剛走上愉快的旅程，極目遠眺－－Bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!向遠方的美景歡呼！And see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations, nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. We have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. We look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseless progress; and feel in ourselves all the vigour and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. It is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedness to our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. Our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union--a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. As infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us--we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more--objects press around us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.此時，但覺好風光應接不暇，而且，前程更有美不勝收的新鮮景致。在這生活的開端，我們聽任自己的志趣馳聘，放手給它們一切滿足的機會。到此時為止，我們還 沒有碰上過什么障礙，也沒有感覺到什么疲憊，因此覺得還可以一直這樣向前走去，直到永遠。我們看到四周一派新天地－－生機盎然，變動不居，日新月異；我們 覺得自己活力充盈，精神飽滿，可與宇宙并駕齊驅。而且，眼前也無任何跡象可以證明，在大自然的發展過程中，我們自己也會落伍，衰老，進入墳墓。由于年輕人 天真單純，可以說是茫然無知，因而將自己跟大自然劃上等號；并且，由于經驗少而感情盛，誤以為自己也能和大自然一樣永世長存。我們一廂情愿，癡心妄想，竟 把自己在世上的暫時棲身，當作千古不變、萬世長存的結合，好像沒有冷淡、爭執、離別的蜜月。像嬰兒帶著微笑入睡，我們躺在用自己編織成的搖籃里，讓大千世 界的萬籟之聲催哄我們安然入夢；我們急切切，興沖沖地暢飲生命之杯，怎么也不會飲干，反而好像永遠是滿滿欲溢的；森羅萬象紛至沓來，各種欲望隨之而生，使 我們騰不出工夫去想死亡。 Man's youth is a wonderful thing: it is 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 is the thing whose passing he watches with infinite sorrow and regret, it is 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,心中會涌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；即便奇跡出現青春復蘇， 誰都不會心甘情愿重度青春的歲月。 And that is the reason why, when youth is gone, every man will look back upon that period of his life with infinite sorrow and regret. It is the bitter sorrow and regret of a man who knows that once he had a great talent and wasted it , of a man who knows that once he had a great treasure and got nothing from it , of a man who knows that he had strength enough for everything and never used it.青春消逝，驀然回首，無論是誰，心中都會充滿無盡的憂傷，充滿無窮的懊悔。曾經才智卓越，卻白白浪費了，曾經財富殷實，卻一無所有，曾經本事高強，卻從未利用。一個認識到自己失落青春的人回憶起來總是充滿悲傷和懊悔。 I choose for my subject faith wrought into life, apart from creed or dogma. By faith I mean a vision of good one cherishes and the enthusiasm that pushes one to seek its fulfillment regardless of obstacles. Faith is a dynamic power that breaks the chain of routine and gives a new, fine turn to old commonplaces. Faith reinvigorates the will, enriches the affections and awakens a sense of creativeness.我選擇生活的信念作為主題，而不是信條或教義。我認為，信念是一個人所珍愛的美好想象，是鼓勵某人不顧艱難實現夢想的熱情。信念是一種充滿活力的力量，它能打破常規的束縛，讓平凡陳舊的事物煥然一新。信念能使人的意志再次振作，使人的情感更為豐富，并能喚醒人的創造力。 When times become difficult (and you know they sometimes will), remember a moment in your life that was filled with joy and happiness.當你身陷困境的時候（你有時會），回想你生命中快樂和幸福的時刻。Remember how it made you feel, and you will have the strength you need to get through any trial.回想它是如何使你快樂，你便有了走出困境的勇氣。When life throws you one more obstacle than you think you can handle, remember something you achieved through perseverance and by struggling to the end.當面對重重困難，你感覺舉步維艱的時候，回想你以前是如何堅持到底戰勝困難的最后時刻的。In doing so, you'll find you have the ability to overcome each obstacle brought your way.這樣，你就會發現你有能力克服每個障礙。When you find yourself drained and depleted of energy, remember to find a place of sanctuary and rest.當你覺得精疲力盡的時候，暫時離開，讓自己稍作休息。Take the neccessary time in your own life to dream your dreams and renew your energy, so you'll be ready to face each new day.給自己留點時間做做夢，充一下電，這樣你就能以嶄新的面貌去面對每一天。When you feel tension building, find something fun to do. You'll find that the stress you feel will dissipate and your thoughts will become clearer.當你感覺到緊張的壓力，做一些有樂趣的事吧。你會發現壓力在漸漸消逝，你的想法也漸漸明朗了。When you're faced with so many negative and draining situations, realize how minuscule problems will seem when you view your life as a whole--and remember the positive things.當你面對重重困難的時候，要意識到相對于你的整個生命，這些難題其實是微不足道的－－銘記你生命中美好的東西。
