雙語美文：你還在為自己的夢想而奮斗嗎？

還記得自己最初的夢想?你還在為自己的夢想而奮斗嗎?還是感覺青春已逝，“不切實際”的夢想還是放棄吧。但不管你如何選擇，先來看看今天的推送吧~或許你可以找回曾經(jīng)的自己。

關(guān)于夢想

Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you've made, have faith in your judgment, catch the star that twinkles in your heart, and it will lead you to your destiny's path. Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.

盡管實現(xiàn)夢想的途中有時會遇到障礙，要知道這是命運對你的挑戰(zhàn)。不是每個人都會贊成你的選擇，接受這個現(xiàn)實，并相信自我的判斷，追隨那顆在你心中閃爍的明星，它會引領(lǐng)你踏上命運的征途。堅持不懈，你就能享受那些幸福時刻。

Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes, but don't let them discourage you. Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique. The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination.

每前進一步，你都應(yīng)引以為豪，因為它們是你實現(xiàn)夢想的階梯。要知道在這個過程中你也許會犯錯誤，但不要氣餒。珍視自我的潛能，因為它們使你獨一無二。生命中最珍貴的禮物不是花錢買來的，而是通過努力和決心而獲取的。

關(guān)于青春

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.

青春不是年華，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、熾熱的感情;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.

青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，并非垂老;理想丟棄，方墮暮年。歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚;熱忱拋卻，頹唐心至靈魂。憂煩、惶恐、喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。

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.

歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚;熱忱拋卻，頹唐必至靈魂。煩憂、惶恐、喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。

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.

無論年屆花甲，抑或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，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、勇氣和力量的信號，你就青春永駐，風華常存。

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.

一旦天線降下，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，即便年方二十，實已垂垂老矣;然則只要豎起天線，捕捉樂觀信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。
