精美短文(五)::On the Feeling of Immortality in youth
:On the Feeling of Immortality in youth 有感于青春常在
William Hazlitt /威廉.赫兹里特
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

us with all its countless treasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes

年轻人不相信自己会死。这是我哥哥的话,可算得一句妙语。青春有一种永生之感——它能弥补

一半还有所保留,我们对它也抱着无穷的希望和幻想。未来的时代完全属于我们——
The vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.

eager gaze forward-
死亡,老年,不过是空话,毫无意义;我们听了,只耳边风,全不放在心上。这些事,别人也许
经历过,或者可能要承受,但是我们自己,“在灵符护佑下度日”,对于诸如此类脆弱的念头,统
统付之轻蔑的一笑。像是刚刚走上愉快的旅程,极目远眺——
Bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
向远方的美景欢呼! |
