　　一、YOUTH 青春

Youth is not a time of life

it is a state of mind

青春不是年華

而是心境

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

青春不是桃面、丹脣、柔膝

而是深沉的意志

恢宏的想象

炙熱的感情

it is the freshness

of the deep springs of life.

青春

是生命的深泉在涌流

Youth means a

temperamental predominance

of courage over timidity,

of the appetite for adventure

over the love of ease.

青春氣貫長虹

勇銳蓋過怯弱

進取壓倒苟安

This often exists in a man of 60

more than a boy of 20

如此銳氣

二十後生而有之

六旬男子則更多見

Nobody grows old merely

by a number of years.

We grow old

by deserting our ideals.

年歲有加，並非垂老

理想丟棄，方墮暮年

Years may wrinkle the skin,

but to give up enthusiasm

wrinkles the soul.

歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚

熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂

Worry, fear,self-distrust

bows the heart

and turns the spirit back to dust.

憂煩，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.

無論年屆花甲，抑或二八芳齡

心中皆有生命之歡樂

奇蹟之誘惑

孩童般天真久盛不衰

In the center of your heart and my heart

there is a wirelessstation:

so long as it receives messages

of beauty, hope, cheer, courage & power

from men and from the Infinite,

so long are you young.

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

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

but as long as your aerials are up,

to catch waves of optimism,

there is hope you may die young at 80.

然則只要樹起天線

捕捉樂觀信號

你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時

仍覺年輕

　　二、孤獨

For me the most interesting thing about a solitary life,and mine has been that for the last twenty years,is that it becomes increasingly rewarding. When I can wake up and watch the sun rise over the ocean, as I do most days, and know that I have an entire day ahead,uninterrupted, in which to write a few pages, take a walk with my dog,lie down in the afternoon for a think(Why does one think better in a horizontal position?),read and listen to music, I am flooded with happiness.

對我而言,獨身生活中最有趣的——也是我最近20年以來深有體會的——就是它使生活變得越來越有情調了。當我早展醒來看到太陽從大海上冉冉升起的時候——儘管我幾乎每天都是如此——我就知道面前將有沒人打攪的整整一天時間了。在這一天裏，我可以悠閒地寫幾頁文章，可以帶着狗散散步,午後還可以躺下來思考思考問題(爲什麼平躺的時候更加有利於思考呢?)，看看書，聽聽音樂，心中洋溢着快樂之情。

I am lonely only when I am overtired, when I have worked too long without a break, when for the time being I feel empty and need filling I am lonely sometimes when I come back home after a lecture trip, when I have seen a lot of people and talked a lot,and am full to the brim with experience that needs to be sorted out.

只有在我過度疲勞的時候，或是在我工作太久而沒有休息的時候,或是在我當時覺得空虛因而需要充實的時候，我纔會感到孤獨。而有時，當我在外地演講後趕回家的時候，當我和許多人見面並且交談甚多的時候，當許多經歷多得要溢出來，因而需要整理的時候，我纔會感到孤獨。

Then for a little while the house feels huge and empty, and I wonder where myself is has been recaptured slowly by watering the plants, perhaps, and looking again at each one as though it were a person,by feeding the two cats, by cooking a meal.

那個時候，房子一度讓人覺得太大、太空，而我卻不知道自我藏身於何處。也許通過給花草澆水，並對其逐一端詳，好像端詳人一樣;也許通過喂那兩隻貓和做一餐飯，我才能又慢慢捕捉到自我了。

It takes a while, as I watch the surf blowing up in fountains at the end of the field, but the moment when the world falls away,and the self emerges again from the deep unconsciousness, bringing back all I have recently experienced to be explored and slowly understood,when I can converse again with my hidden powers,and so grow, and so be rewarded, till death do us part.

過了 一會兒，我看到地平線的盡頭海浪如泉水般噴涌，那一刻，世界消逝殆盡了，而自我從深層的無意識中再一次浮現，這才使我想起最近所經歷的一切，讓我去探究、去愎慢了解。此時，我又能與隱藏的力量交流了，於是我又在成長，並在成長中得到回報，直到死亡將我們分開。

　　三、假如生活重頭再來 Living life over

If I had my life to live over…… I would have talked less and listened more.

假如我能重新生活,我會說得更少，聽得更多。

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.

我會邀請朋友來吃飯，即使地毯變髒,沙發褪色。

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

我會花時間聽我的祖父漫談他的年輕時光。

I would never have insisted the car windowsbe rolled up on a summer day

because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

我再也不會堅持在某個夏天的某一天車窗一定要打開，而我的頭髮剛剛被噴膠並被做好。

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

我會點燃雕得像朵玫瑰一樣的粉紅的蠟燭，在它被在存儲中融化之前。

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

我會與我的孩子一起坐在草坪上，不用擔心草地上的污漬。

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.

我會在看電視時哭得更少,笑得更少，而更多的是觀察生活。

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I were not there for the day.

當我生病時,我會上牀睡覺，而不是假裝如果我不在一天,地球就會停止不動。

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical，would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.

我再也不會購買任何據說是實用的,不顯髒,保證可用一生的東西。

There would have been more“I love yous”……more“I‘m sorrys”……butmostly，given another shots at life，I would seize every minute……look at it and really see it……live it……and never give it back.

我會說更多的“我愛你. ” … …更多的“對不起. ” … 但是最主要的是，如果我可以重新生活我會抓住每一分鐘… …看看它, 實實在在地看它… …好好生活… …決不讓它重頭再來。
