　　每段青春都会苍老，但我希望记忆里的你一直都好。

　　美文欣赏：Youth 青春

　　Youth 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; it 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.

　　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.

　　Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

　　Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for 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, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

　　When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

　　青春不是生命的一个阶段,它是一种精神状态;它不是红润的面颊,红唇和冰肌柔骨,它是一种意愿、最优的创造力和充满活力的情感;它是生命深泉的新鲜。

　　青春是一种气质:勇猛果敢而不是怯懦退缩,渴望冒险而不是贪图安逸。如此锐气,一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致年之久。年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,方堕暮年。

　　岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓唐必至灵魂。忧虑、恐惧、缺乏自信,会扭曲人的灵魂,并将青春化为灰烬。

　　无论是60岁还是16岁,你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心,永不熄灭的孩提奇迹之诱惑的欲望和对未来的什么享受生活带来的乐趣。中心的心中,都有一座无线电台,它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的电波永不消失,人,你就会年轻多长时间。

　　一旦天线倒塌,锐气便被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭的霜雪和悲观厌世的冰层,那么即使你已经年老了,已垂垂老矣;然则只要竖起天线,捕捉乐观的信号,你就有希望在80岁死去,也仍然年轻可以吗?

　　美文欣赏：对青春常在的感想

　　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 countless treasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. We make the coming age our own.

　　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--它能弥补一切。人在青年时代好像一尊永生的神明。诚然，生命的一半已经消失，但蕴藏着不尽财富的另一半还有所保留，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.

　　无限辽阔的远景在我们面前展现。

　　Death, old age, are words without a meaning, that pass by us like the idle 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.

　　死亡，老年，不过是空话，毫无意义;我们听了，只当耳边风，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!

　　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 ceaseless progress; and feel in ourselves all the vigour 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 abstractedness to 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 us-we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects press around 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.

　　此时，但觉好风光应接不暇，而且，前程更有美不胜收的新鲜景致。在这生活的开端，我们听任自己的志趣驰聘，放手给它们一切满足的机会。到此时为止，我们还 没有碰上过什么障碍，也没有感觉到什么疲惫，因此觉得还可以一直这样向前走去，直到永远。我们看到四周一派新天地--生机盎然，变动不居，日新月异;我们 觉得自己活力充盈，精神饱满，可与宇宙并驾齐驱。而且，眼前也无任何迹象可以证明，在大自然的发展过程中，我们自己也会落伍，衰老，进入坟墓。由于年轻人 天真单纯，可以说是茫然无知，因而将自己跟大自然划上等号;并且，由于经验少而感情盛，误以为自己也能和大自然一样永世长存。我们一厢情愿，痴心妄想，竟 把自己在世上的暂时栖身，当作千古不变、万世长存的结合，好像没有冷淡、争执、离别的蜜月。像婴儿带着微笑入睡，我们躺在用自己编织成的摇篮里，让大千世 界的万籁之声催哄我们安然入梦;我们急切切，兴冲冲地畅饮生命之杯，怎么也不会饮干，反而好像永远是满满欲溢的;森罗万象纷至沓来，各种欲望随之而生，使 我们腾不出工夫去想死亡。

　　美文欣赏：寻找遗失的青春

　　Boy meets girl at high school. They grow up and drift apart. Such are the elementary and timeless ingredients with which Taiwan novelist-turned-director Giddens Ko whips up the playful retro coming-of-age film You Are the Apple of My Eye.

　　男孩在上高中时遇见了女孩。他们共同成长，然后渐渐疏远。正是有了这些最基本且永恒的主题元素，才使得台湾作家九把刀转型为导演后，迅速烹制出《那些年，我们一起追的女孩》这样一部欢快有趣，回首青春成长的影片。

　　Based on Ko"s real-life romance novel The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years (same as the film"s Chinese title), the film is guaranteed to be loved by those who have an appetite for a bit of juvenile fun.

　　这部改编自九把刀自传式爱情小说《那些年，我们一起追的女孩》的电影一定会成为那些青春小品爱好者的青睐。

　　Newbie actor Ko Cheng-tung plays Ko Ching-teng, a teenage boy whose life revolves around hanging out with school buddies Boner, Cock, Groin and A-Ho — the bad boys of Ching-Cheng High in Changhua, central-west Taiwan.

　　新生代演员柯震东在剧中饰演柯景腾一角，片中的这位少年就读于台湾中西部彰化县精诚中学，他的生活都是和同校好友，别人眼中的坏孩子勃起、老曹、该边和阿和一起度过的。

　　They all have a crush on Shen Chia-yi (Michelle Chen), an honor student in their class, who falls for Ko only.

　　他们都喜欢上了同班的好学生沈佳宜(由陈妍希饰演)，而沈却只对柯景腾情有独钟。

　　Yet Ko, afraid of being rejected, cannot bring himself to ask Shen to be his girlfriend.

　　而柯景腾却因为害怕被拒绝不敢鼓起勇气向沈佳宜告白。

　　Their love continues after the two go to different colleges until one night, a big fight puts an end to their youthful romance. Several years later, Ko, now a writer, and his high school mates watch Shen walking down the aisle with another man, appearing as beautiful as they remember.

　　随着升入不同的大学，他们的恋情仍在继续;直到有一天晚上，两人大吵一架后为这段青春恋曲画下了句号。几年之后，已经成为作家的柯景腾同高中的好友们一起见证了沈佳宜同另外一个男生步入婚姻殿堂，她看上去还是像他们记忆中那样美。

　　With a well-selected cast and a brisk pace, Giddens Ko"s effort manages to keep up a high level of energy throughout the film and he captures adolescent urges with a fun, manga-esque punch.

　　精心挑选的演员班底再加上轻松愉快的节奏，导演九把刀成功使整部影片显得活力十足，在他的镜头下，青春期的冲动具备一种日式漫画般的幽默力量。

　　Also, the puppy love story would be less convincing if not for the two leading actors, who convey youthful innocence with effortlessness.

　　同时，如果不是片中两位主演不遗余力的演出诠释出了少年的天真懵懂，这个有关早恋的故事也不会这么令人信服。

　　The film is at its best when it reminds viewers of their adolescent years. The 33-year-old director has repeatedly said the film isn"t only about his own youth, but everyone"s.

　　这部电影最棒的地方便是让观众们回忆起自己的青葱岁月。这位现年33岁的导演曾不止一次地宣称，这部影片不仅仅关乎自己的青春，还同所有人的青春都有关。

　　It might remind us of something silly or reckless we did at a young age. It might remind us that our youth isn"t all perfect — like Ko and Chen"s.

　　该片会让我们想起自己年少时做的那些愚蠢、鲁莽之事，提醒我们，每个人的青春都不是完美的，就像柯景腾和沈佳宜一样。

　　But to the core, it reminds us that our youth, as imperfect as it can be, has made us the people we are today. And for that, we should smile a smile of understanding.

　　而全片精髓是在提醒我们，无论我们的青春究竟有多不完美，它都让我们成为了今天的自己。所以从这个角度来讲，我们应该给出会心一笑。
