英语听力材料《青春是什么》
对于青春，你会想起些什么?你觉得青春是什么?下面这篇英语听力也许会告诉你答案。
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,并非人生的一段时光,而是一种精神状态;亦非粉颊红唇和冰肌柔骨，而是刚强的意志、灵秀的想像和充满活力的情感;它是使生命之泉永不枯竭的常青树。
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,意味着一种非凡气质：敢做敢为而不怯懦退缩、甘冒 风险而不贪恋安逸。在一位60岁老者的身上，这种气质的存在 可能甚于20岁的小伙子。没有人会单单由于岁月的流逝而衰 老,有的'人却因为放弃理想而老态龙钟。
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.
流年时光可以在皮肤上留下皱纹，而熄灭热情则会使心灵 起皱。忧虑、恐惧和缺乏自信只会使人心胸狭隘,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岁还是16岁，每个人的心里都会被新奇事物所 吸引，都会像孩子一样对未来洋溢着无穷无尽的憧憬,都会在生 活的游戏(境遇)之中获取欢乐。在你我心灵的深处,都有一座 无线电台：只要它从人群中间和造物主那里接收到美、希望、鼓 励、勇气和力量的电波，你我就会青春常在。
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.
一旦这座电台的天线收拢，一旦玩世不恭的冷雪和悲观绝 望的寒冰覆盖了你的心灵，即使你只有20岁，也未老先衰了;但 是只要它的天线始终竖立在你的心中，捕捉着每一个乐观向上 的电波，纵使你80而逝之时也会青春永驻。
