精美英文欣赏:青春的飞逝(在线收听

The Flight of Youth

There are gains for all our losses.

There are balms for all our pain:

But when youth, the dream, departs

It takes something from our hearts,

And it never comes again. 

We are stronger, and are better,

Under manhood's sterner reign: 

Still we feel that something sweet 

Followed youth, with flying feet,

And will never come again. 

Something beautiful is vanished,

And we sigh for it in vain; 

We behold it everywhere, 

On the earth, and in the air,

But it never comes again !

青春的飞逝

我们失去的一切都能得到补偿,

我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰,

可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝,

它带走了我们心中某种美好的事物,

从此一去不复返回。

严峻的成年生活将我们驱使,

我们变得日益刚强、更臻完美,

可是依然感到某种甜美的东西,

已随着青春飞逝,

永不再返回。

美好的东西已经消失,

我们枉自为此叹息,

虽然在天地之间,

我们到处能看见青春的魅力,

可是它永不再返回!

理查德·亨利·斯托达德
