《青春》是德裔美国作者塞缪尔?厄尔曼的文章。一篇不及500字的短文 ，半个多世纪以来一向产生着轰动效应；美国麦克阿瑟将军生前将其视为座右铭 ，日本企业家将其奉为珍宝。作者用简练的句子、深厚的感情 ，诠释什么是真正的青春。尤其是开篇：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 ，而是表情；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝 ，而是深厚的意志 ，恢宏的设想 ，炙热的恋情；青春是性命的深泉在涌流）更是不休提醒激励我们 ，尤其是青年人 ，要维持表情、意志、设想与周到。此文虽短 ，却堪称精品 ，推荐各位一读。
英文原文：
YOUTH
Samuel Ullman
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
经典中译文：
青春不是年华 ，而是表情；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝 ，而是深厚的意志 ，恢宏的设想 ，炙热的恋情；青春是性命的深泉在涌流。
青春气冲牛斗 ，勇锐盖过怯弱 ，进取压倒偷安。如此锐气 ，二十后生而有之 ，六旬男子 则更多见。年岁有加 ，并非老大 ，梦想抛弃 ，方堕末年。
岁月悠悠 ，陵夷只及肌肤；周到抛却 ，颓唐必致魂灵。忧烦 ，惶恐 ，失落自负 ，定使心 灵扭曲 ，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲 ，拟或二八芳龄 ，心中皆有性命之欢乐 ，事业之引诱 ，孩童般无邪久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线 ，只有你从天上人间接受美好、但愿、欢乐、勇气和力量的 信号 ，你就青春永驻 ，风华常存。
一旦天线降落 ，锐气便被冰雪覆盖 ，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生 ，即便年方二十 ，实已逐步老矣；然则只有树起天线 ，捉拿乐观信号 ，你就有望在八十高龄握别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
