青春活力英語演講稿範文

　　Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.

　　First I want to ask you some questions:

　　1、Do you know what is youth?

　　2、How do you master your youth?

　　Youth

　　Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; 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 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 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are 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.

　　Thank you!

　　青春

　　青春不是指歲月，而是指心態。粉嫩的臉，紅潤的脣，矯健的膝並不是青春。青春表現在意志的堅強與懦弱。想象的豐富與蒼白、情感的充沛與貧乏等方面。青春是生命深處清泉的噴湧。

　　青春是追求。只有當勇氣蓋過怯弱、進取壓倒苟安之時，青春才存在。果如此，則60見之長者比20歲之少年更具青春活力。僅僅歲月的流逝並不能使他們衰老。而一旦拋棄理想和信念，則垂垂老也。

　　歲月只能使面板起皺。而一旦喪失生活的激情，則連靈魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫無活力。

　　60歲長者也好，16歲少年也罷，每個人的內心深處都渴望奇蹟，都如孩子一般眨著期待的雙眼，期待著下一次，期待著生活的情趣，你我靈魂深處都有一座無線電中轉站------只有你我年輕，則總能聽到希望的呼喚，總能發出喜悅的歡呼，總能傳達勇氣的訊號，總能表現出青春的活力………

　　一旦青春的天線倒下，你的靈魂即為玩世不恭之雪、悲觀厭世之冰覆蓋;即使你年方20.其實你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天線高高聳起，就可以隨時接收到樂觀的電波-----即使你年過八旬，行將就木，而你卻仍然擁有青春，你仍然年輕。

　　謝謝!
