青春常在 feeling of youth
no young man believes he shall ever die. it was a saying of my brother's, 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 countletreasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. we make the coming age our own-
the vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.
death. old age. are words without a meaning. that paby us like the idea 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-
bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
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 ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor 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 abstractedneof 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 us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound 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.
年輕人不相信自己會死。這是我哥哥的話,可算得一句妙語。青春有一種永生之感——它能彌補一切。人在青年時代好像一尊永生的神明。誠然,生命的一半已以消逝,但蘊藏著不盡財富的另一半還有所保留,我們對它也抱著無窮的希望和幻想。未來的時代完全屬於我們——
無限遼闊的遠景在我們面前展現
死亡,老年,不過是空話,毫無意義;我們聽了,只耳邊風,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”,對於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——向遠方的美景歡呼!
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緻。在這生活的開端,我們聽任自己的志趣馳騁,放手給它們一切滿足的機會。到此為止,我們還沒有碰上過什麼障礙,也沒有感覺到什麼疲憊,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,可與宇宙並駕齊驅。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。由於年輕人天真單純,可以說是茫然無知,因而將自己跟大自然劃上等號;並且,由於經驗少而感情盛,誤以為自己也能和大自然一樣永世長存。我們一廂情願,痴心妄想,竟把自己在世上的暫時棲身,當作千古不變、萬事長存的結合,好像沒有冷淡、爭執、離別的密月。像嬰兒帶著微笑入睡,我們躺在用自己編織成的搖籃裡,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,怎麼也不會飲幹,反而好像永遠是滿滿欲溢;森羅永珍紛至沓來,各種慾望隨之而生,使我們騰不出工夫想死亡。
Dear judges, ladies and gentlemen, good morning. My name is WangXun, and I’m from school of economics and management. Descartes once said: thereading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest men of past centuries. Reading, as a best way to gain knowledge, has earned good popularity over the past centuries. With the development of science and technology, nowadays we may have more choices, like traditional reading and online reading. Were it left to me to choose books reading or online reading, I would not hesitate a moment to choose the latter. As far as I am concerned, online reading is far more convenient than books reading. Here I have several reasons.
First of all, online reading save me much time and money. Thanks to the development of the internet and the wide use of personal computers, I can have access to almost any book I want without spending much money. As I know, most websites providing online reading are free of charge, while some of them do ask for a little money. But that is nothing compared with that spent on traditional books. Then, I will not have to walk half an hour to a book store or library, especially in a hot summer day. All I have to do is to open my laptop and type in the book name or key words, then the system will list relevant information on the screen At the same time, I can read remarks from other readers to see whether the book suits me well.
Secondly, online reading provides me more personal alternatives. For example, I can choose the background, font size and color at random. If you are bored with the black and white, why not try something attractive. Like I said, more personal alternatives will make reading more interesting.
Thirdly, through reading online, I can share my favorite books with my friends easily. If you choose online reading, you will find that there is always a little bottom somewhere on the page, which allows you to share the book with several friends at the same time. It doesn’t matter whether your friends are from the same city or not. He or she will receive a message from you when online. This is an advantage that traditional reading can’t have. How can you lend your books to several friends at the same time? You can’t. How can you lend your book to a friend who lives in another city? You can’t either. It is online reading that makes reading without limits on time and place.
Last but not least. Online reading makes information more available. It is obvious that most information we got from traditional books is a little bit old and behind the times. I don’t deny the fact that we people do need to read many classics to improve ourselves. But most time, especially in today’s modern society, I am more eager to know what is happening around me. I want to know more details about the explosion happened in Nanjing. I am also concerned about the natural disasters in Zhouqu, Gansu province. Yes, these messages will appear on the daily newspaper, but why do you prefer waiting a whole day instead of reading current affairs online? Here is my point that online reading allows me to get the latest news and information so that more information is available to me.
If you’re still complaining about your heavy books, why not take full use of your cell phones and laptops? Let’s enjoy reading online together.
That is all. Thank you for listening.
