《YOUTH》 Samuel Ullman
jonas salkYouth 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;
expressionit 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,而是心境;
青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,
而是深沉的意志、恢宏的想象、炽热的感情;
青春是生命的深泉涌流。

This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.
青春气贯长虹,
勇锐盖过怯弱,进取压倒苟安。
如此锐气,二十后生有之,
连续不断的意思
六旬男子则更多见。
Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.
We grow old by derting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, fear, lf-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
年岁有加,并非垂老;proxyrver
理想丢弃,方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;
热忱抛却,颓唐必致灵魂。
忧烦、惶恐、丧失自信,
定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。
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.
无论年届花甲,抑或二八芳龄,
心中皆有生命之欢乐,奇迹之诱惑,
孩童般天真久盛不衰。
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.
人的心灵应如浩淼瀚海,
只有不断接纳美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的百川,
才能青春永驻、风华长存。
一旦心海枯竭,锐气便被冰雪覆盖,
玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生,
即使年方二十,实已垂垂老矣;
然则只要虚怀若谷,让喜悦、达观、仁爱充盈其间,
你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

我向别人那里学到的东西是从一名叫Ellen的老师那里学到的越南语。她是一位非常专业的的美国语言教师培训师。
狼来了英文版Something I learned from someone was about some basic Vietname from a teacher of mine named Ellen who is a very professional language teacher trainer in the U.S.
去年,我在剑桥大学的一个职业教师那里学习语言。一个九月份的早晨,她给我们用越南语讲了一节越南语课程。关键问题是我对越南语一窍不通。加之她又特别的严谨治学。所以我那会儿有些忐忑不安,担心自己不能够有效掌握课上的越南语内容。你也知道,对于一个初学者或者是零基础的人来说学习一门语言能够脱口而出完整的句子是有多么的困难。
Last year I got some training in language teaching from a certified professional trainer in Cambridge. One day morning in Sept., she gave us a language cour about Vietname,in Vietname which we didn’t have any knowledge about. Plus, she was very strict with us in terms of learning. So, I even got butterflies in my stomach(我很紧张) and worried that I might not pick up anything about it becau you know how hard it is for a beginner or even a learner with zero foundation to learn how to blurt out(脱口而出) a ntence.
然而接下来呢,让我不可思议的事情发生了。在她的指导下(包括一些肢体语言,面部表情和教具的使用等),我们成功的会用越南语打招呼和简要做自我介绍了。
However, what happened next made us just can’t believe it’s real. Under some guidance using some gestures and facial expressions together with some realia(教具), we managed to say some greetings and personal information in Vietname.
那应该是我去年最那一忘怀的一段时光之一了。当你能够在一堂纯纯越南语教学的越南语课上学会了越南语,你就会觉得这是多么神奇的一件事了。
I felt it was one of the most memorable periods last time. Becau you would imagine how magical it is when you had been able to pick up some Vietname in the class where only lessons taught in Vietname!
自那会儿起,她就成了我语言教学上的一个楷模。我也希望我能够起码在自己的小圈子里有所作为。
Since then on, She just became my role model in language teaching. I hope I could one day make a difference at least in my own little circle.
4. What do you do in your spare time?
I love reading and writing when I have some free time available. Apart from the, I also like playing badminton. So, whenever I do get time, I usually read, write or play badminton.
5.What do you do to relax yourlf?
For relaxation, I prefer taking a short nap. It could be either for 20 minutes or may be an hour. But, nothing helps me relax better than some sleep.
