Advice to Youth

by Mark Twain

Being told I would be expected to talk here, I inquired what sort of a talk I ought to make. They said it should be something suitable to youth--- something didactic, instructive, or something in the nature of good advice. Very well, I have a few things in my mind which I have often longed to say for the instruction of the young; for it is in one’s tender early years that such things will best take root and be most enduring and most valuable. First, then, I will say to you, my young friends ----and I say it beseechingly, urgingly ----

Always obey your parents, when they are present. This is the best policy in long run, because if you don’t, they will make you do. Most parents think they know better than you do, and you can generally make more by humoring that superstition than you can by acting on you own better judgment.

Be respectful to your superiors, if you have any, also to strangers, and sometimes to others. If a person offends you and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick. That will be sufficient. If you shall find that he had not intended any offense, come out frankly and confess yourself in the wrong when you stuck him; acknowledge it like a man and say you didn’t mean to. Yes, always avoid violence; in

this age of charity and kindness, the time has gone by for such things. Leave dynamite to the low and the unrefined.

Go to bed early, get up early--- this is wise. Some authorities say get up with the sun; some others say get up with one thing, some with another. But a lark is really the best thing to get up with. It gives you a splendid reputation with everybody to know that you get up with a lark; and if you get the right kind of lark, and work at him right, you can easily train him to get up at half past nine, every time---it is no trick at all.

Now as to the matter of lying. You want to be very careful about lying; otherwise you are nearly sure to get caught. Once caught, you can never again be, in the eyes of the good and pure, what you were before. Many a young person has injured himself permanently through a single clumsy and ill-finished lie, the result of carelessness born of incomplete training. Some authorities hold that the young ought not to lie at all. That, of course, is putting it rather stronger than necessary; still while I cannot go quite so far as that, I do maintain, and I believe I am right, that the young ought to be temperate in the use of this great art until practice and experience shall give them that confidence, elegance and precision which alone can make the accomplishment graceful and profitable. Practice, diligence, painstaking attention to detail –these are requirements; these, in time, will make the student perfect; upon these, and upon these only, may he rely as the sure foundation for future eminence. Think what tedious years of study, thought, practice, experience, went to the equipment of that peerless old master who was able to impose upon the whole world the lofty and sounding maxim that ―truth is mighty and will prevail‖ --- the most majestic compound fracture of fact which any of woman born has yet achieved. For the history of our race, and each individual’s experience, are sown thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and a lie told well is immortal. There is in Boston a monument of the man who discovered anesthesia; many people are aware, in these latter days, that that man didn’t discover it at all, but stole t he discovery from another man. Is this truth mighty, and will it prevail? Ah no, my hearers, the monument is made of hardy material, but

the lie it tells will outlast it a million years. An awkward, feeble, leaky lie is a thing which you ought to make it your unceasing study to avoid; such a lie as that has no more real permanence than an average truth. Why, you might as well tell the truth at once and be done with it. A feeble, stupid, preposterous lie will not live two years—excepted it be a slander upon somebody. It is indestructible, then, of course, but that is no merit of yours. A final word: begin your practice of this gracious and beautiful art early –begin now. if I had begun earlier, I should have known how.

Never handle firearms carelessly. The sorrow and suffering that have been caused through the innocent but heedless handling of firearms by the young! Only four days ago, right in the next farmhouse to the one where I am spending the summer, a grandmother, old and gray and sweet, one of the loveliest spirits in the land, was sitting at her work, when her young grandson crept in and got down an old, battered, rusty gun which had not been touched for many years and was supposed not to be loaded, and pointed it at her, laughing and threatening to shoot. In her fright she ran screaming and pleading toward the door on the other side of the room; but as she passed him he placed the gun almost against her very breast and pulled the trigger! He had supposed it was unloaded. And he was right—it wasn’t. So, there wasn’t any harm done. It is the only case of that kind I ever heard of. Therefore, just the same, don’t you meddle with old unloaded firearms; they are the most deadly and unerring things that have ever been created by man. You don’t have to take any pains at all with them; you don’t have to have a rest, you don’t have to have any sights on the gun, you don’t have to take aim, even. No, you just pick out a relative and bang away, and you are sure to get him. A youth who can’t hit a cathedral at thirty yards with a Gatling gun in three-quarters of an hour, can take up an old empty musket and bag his grandmother every time, at a hundred. Think what Waterloo would have been if one

of the armies had been boys armed with old muskets supposed not to be loaded, and the other army had been composed of their female relations. The very thought of it makes one shudder.

There are many sorts of books; but good ones are the sort for the young to read. Remember that. They are a great, an inestimable, an unspeakable means of improvement. Therefore, be careful in your selection, my young friends; be very careful; confine yourselves exclusively to Robertson’s Sermons, Baxter’s Rest, and The innocent abroad, and works of that kind.

But I have said enough, I hope you will treasure up the instructions which I have given you, and make them a guide to your feet and a light to your understanding. Build your character thoughtfully and painstakingly upon these precepts, and by and by, when you have got it built , you will be surprised and gratified to see how nicely and sharply it resembles everybody else’s.

中文译文：

给青年人的忠告

杨自伍译

听说期望我来谈谈，我便询问应该发表什么样的谈话。他们说应当宜于青年人的话题――教诲性的，启发性的话题，或者实质上是良言忠告之类的话题。好吧。关于开导青年人，我心里倒是有几件事时常要说的；因为正是在人幼小时，这些事最适合扎根，而且最持久最有价值。那么，首先呢，我要对你们，我的年轻的朋友们说的是――我恳切的，迫切的要说的是――

永远服从你们的父母，只要他们在堂的时候。长远看来这是上策，因为你们要是不服从的话，他们也非要你服从。大多数家长认为比你们懂的多，一般说来你们迁就那种迷信的话们，比起你们根据自以为是的判断行事，你们会建树大些。

对待上司要尊重，要是你们有上司；对待陌生人，有时还有别人，也要尊重。如果有人得罪了你们，你们要犹豫一番，看看是存心的还是无意的，不要采取极端的作法；只要看好机会用砖头打他一下，那就足够了。如果你们发现他并非故意冒犯，那就坦然走出来，承认自己打他不对；像个男子汉人个错，说声不是故意的。况且，永远要避免动武；处于这个仁慈和和睦的时代，此类举动的年代已经过去了。“炸药”留给卑下而无教养的人吧。

早睡早起――这是聪明的。有的权威讲，跟着太阳起床；还有的讲跟着这样东西起床，又有的讲，跟着那样东西起床。其实跟着云雀起床是再好不过的。这样你就落个好名声，人人都知道你跟着云雀起床；如果弄到一只那种适合的云雀，在它身上花点功夫，你就很容易把它调教到九点半起床，每次都是――这可决不是欺人之谈。

接着来谈谈说谎的问题。你们可是要非常谨慎的对待说谎；否则十有八九会被揭穿。一旦揭穿，在善良和纯洁的看来，你就再也不会是过去的你了。多少年轻人，因为一次拙劣难园的谎言，那是由于不完整的教育而导致的的轻率结果，使得自己永远蒙受损害。有些权威认为，年轻人根本不应该说谎。当然，这种说法言之过甚，其实未必如此；不过，虽然我可不能把话讲得太过分，我却认定而且相信自己看法正确，那就是，在实践和经验使人获得信心，文雅，严谨之前，年轻人运用这门了不起的艺术时要有分寸，只有这三点才能使说谎的本领无伤大雅，带了好处。耐性，勤奋，细致入微――这些是必要素质；这些素质日久天长就能使学生变得完善起来；凭借这些，只有凭借这些，他才能为将来的出类拔萃打下稳固的基础。试想一下，要付出多么漫长的岁月，通过学习思考，实践，经验，那位盖世无双的前辈大师才具有如此地素养，他迫使全世界接受了“真理是强大的而且终将取胜”这句崇高而掷地有声地格言――这是关于事实地复杂层面道出的最豪迈的话，迄今任何出自娘胎的人都未获得。因为我们人类的历史，还有每个个人的经验，都深深的埋下了这样的证据：一个真理不难扼杀，一个说得巧妙的谎言则历史不衰。波士顿有座发现麻醉法的人的纪念碑；许多人到后来才明白，这个人根本没有发现麻醉法，而是剽窃了另一个人的发现。这个真理强大吗？它终将取胜吗？哎！错哉！听众们，纪念碑是用坚硬材料建造成的，而它所

晓示的谎言却将比它持久百万年。一个脆弱愚蠢而又荒谬的谎言持续不了两年――除非是对什么人物的诽谤。当然，那种谎言是牢不可破的，不过那可不是你们的光彩。最后说一句：早些开始实践这门优雅美妙的艺术――从现在作起。要是我早些作起，我就会学会门道了。

切莫随便摆弄枪支。年轻人无知而又冒失的摆弄枪支，造成了多少悲伤痛苦。就在四天前，就在我度夏的农庄住家的隔壁人家，一个祖母，年老花白一团和气，当地最可爱的一个人物，坐着干活，这时她的小孙儿悄悄的进屋，取下一把破烂生锈的旧枪，多年无人碰过，以为没装子弹，把枪瞄准她，哈哈笑了吓唬着要开枪。她惊骇得边跑边叫求饶，朝屋子对面的门口跑去；可是经过身边的时候，小孙儿几乎把枪贴着她的胸口上，扣动了扳机！他以为枪里没子弹。他猜对了――没装子弹。所以没有造成什么伤害。这是我听到的同类情况中绝无仅有的。因此呢，同样的，你们可不要动没装子弹的旧枪支；他们是人所创造的最致命的没发必中的家伙。你们不必这些东西上花什么功夫：你们不必搞个枪架，你们不必在枪上装什么准星，你们连瞄准都没有必有。算了，你们就挑个相似的东西，砰砰打几枪，他肯定能打中。三刻钟内用加特林机枪在三十码处不能击中一个大教堂的年轻人，却可以站在百米开外，举起一把空膛的旧火枪，趟趟把祖母当靶子击倒。再试想一下，倘若有一只旧火枪武装取来的童子军，大概没有装上子弹，而另一支部队由他们的女亲戚们组成的那么滑铁卢战役会是什么结局。只要一想到此，就会令人不寒而栗。

图书有许多种类；但好书才是年轻人该读的一类。记住这一点。好书是伟大的无价，无言的自我完善工具。因此，要小心选择，年轻的朋友们；罗伯逊的《布道书》，巴克斯特的《圣者的安息》，《去国外的傻瓜》，以及这一类的作品，你们应该只读这些书。

我可是说得不少了。我希望大家会铭记我给你们的言教，让它成为你们脚下的指南和悟性的明灯。用心刻苦地根据这些规矩培养自己的品格，天长日久，培养好了品格，你们将会惊喜地看到，这种品格多么准确而鲜明地类似其他每个人的品格。

散文诗名篇赏析《Youth 青春》中英文

经典英语名篇文章：青春 作者：Samuel Ullman 经典英语文章《青春》背后的故事： 太平洋战争打得正酣之时，麦克阿瑟将军常常从繁忙中抬起头，注视着挂在墙上的镜框，镜框里是篇文章，名为《青春》。这篇文章一直伴随着他，也跟着他到了日本。后来，日本人在东京的美军总部发现了它，《青春》便开始在日本流传。 一位资深的日本问题观察家说，在日本实业界，只要有成就者，没有哪一个不熟知不应用这篇美文的，就连松下电器的创始人松下幸之助几十年来也把《青春》当作他的座右铭。 还有这么一件趣事，足以证明《青春》在日本的魅力。一天，美国影片销售协会主席罗森菲尔德参加日本实业界的聚会，晚宴之前的谈话，他随意说了一句：“《青春》的作者，便是我的祖父。”在座的各位实业界领袖大为惊讶，其中有一位一边激动地说“我一直随身带着它呢”，一边从口袋里掏出了《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, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exits in a man of 60, more than a 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、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 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，六旬男子则更多见。年年有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

我的世界我的中国英语演讲稿翻译

我的世界我的中国英语演讲稿翻译 老师们，同学们： 大家好！今天我要演讲的是，《myworld,mychina》 我的世界，我的中国。 有些中国人，他们认为我们中国不是他们的国家。只因为我们在体育上输给了别人。不论是成绩，还是品德。 中国国足，成绩一落千丈还要弄假球来制造胜利的假象，对，我们在这里的确输给了别人，难道就因为这个，你们就要嫌弃中国，嫌弃自己的家园吗？ 中国篮球，女篮每次比赛都输给别人，难道她们就让你们觉得中国没用吗？可能是训练方法不对，也可能是不够努力，但是你们看，每次比赛，她们谁不是拼了命地去打，每次休息都汗流侠背气喘吁吁？ 难道我们就没有好的地方吗？ 你们为什么不去看看中国的交通，四通八达，逮谁谁都说好。这不是中国的优点吗？ 你们为什么不去看看中国的中药，世界医学委员会都认为，中药是最好的药物。因为它是纯天然的，无毒无害，且中医们一个个经验丰富，熟练老道，他们能够准确地指出患者的病因并对症下药。西药还有副作用，但中药没有，中药的效果比西药更好，这不是中国的优点吗？ 还有中国的汉字。我在一个个刚劲方正的方块字里，看到了一种大

气，一种肚量。现在到处都在举办“汉语桥”这个节目，就是让五湖四海的外国朋友学习中文、并在这里充分展示中文。世界都在学中国话，世界都在说中国话，这不是中国的优点吗？ 中国是我们的母亲，是我们的骄傲。她生我们养我们，但我们却做了些什么？我们肆意破坏她绿色的衣裳，肆意排放有害的气体，熏得她频频生病，但我们却好像是理直气壮地去伤害她，为什么？ 有些人说中国没用。谬论！XX年，我们成功举办了第二十九届奥林匹克运动会。XX年，我们成功举办了XX上海世博会，我们还将举行第xx届广州亚运会，这三项，都是世界顶级的盛会，我们的中国包揽了这三项顶级盛事，难道一个没用的国家能举办世界顶级的盛事吗？不！中国正在富强，中国正在进步！中国正在步入世界的轨道并努力攀上巅峰！ 四大名着，都是中国人写的吧！水浒，我看到了农民们从起义，到失败的过程；三国，我看到了各路英雄使出看家本领保家卫国；红楼，我看到了着名的黛玉葬花和一个忧伤的爱情故事；西游，我看到了师徒四人成功取得真经后成佛的情景。这四本书，可是世界都认可的名着！ 这难道不是中国的优点吗？ 拿一件真实的事情来说吧，一个心理辅导员，给他的学生们上课时，带了一张白纸，白纸上有一个黑点，他问学生们：“你们看到了什么？”学生们异口同声地说：“一个黑点！”辅导员故作惊讶地说：“那么大张白纸你们看不到吗？”这好比那些人，中国有这么多的优点他不看，

Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.

年月的轮回就一定导致衰老吗？要知道呵，老态龙钟是因为放弃了对真理的追求。 王：Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. 无情岁月的流逝，留下了深深的皱纹，而热忱的丧失，会在深处打下烙印。 黄“Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. 焦虑、恐惧、自卑，终会使心情沮丧，意志消亡。 郑；Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. 60也罢，16也罢，每个人的心田都应保持着不泯的意志，去探索新鲜的事物，去追求人生乐趣。 秦：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 as you are young. 我们的心中都应有座无线电台，只要不断地接受来自人类和上帝的美感、希望、勇气和力量，我们就会永葆青春。

advise用法

advise的常用句式1. advise doing sth 建议做某事。如：He advised leaving early. 他建议早点动身。I advise waiting till proper time. 我建议等到适当时机。注：不能直接后跟不定式作宾语。所以不能说：* He advised to leave early. 2. advise sb to do sth 建议某人做某事。如：He advised me to buy a computer. 他建议我买台电脑。The doctor advised me to take a complete rest. 医生建议我完全休息。注：以上意思也可用后接从句的形式表达(注意从句用should＋v. 这样的虚拟语气)。如上面第一句也可说成:He advised that I (should) buy a computer. 3. advise sb against doing sth 劝告某人不要做某事。如：He advised her against going out at night. 他劝她晚上不要出去。Her father advised her against marrying the worker. 她父亲劝告她不要嫁给这个工人。她父亲劝告她不要嫁给这个工人。注：该句型有时可与advise sb not to do sth 替换。如上面第一句也可说成：He advised her not to go out at night. 4. advise sb of sth 通知或告知某人有某情况。如： Please advise us of the arrival of the goods. 货物到达时请通知我们 advise 是个常用动词，意为“劝告”，“忠告”；“建议”。由于它的用法比较复杂，有些同学在使用时经常出错。为了帮助大家正确理解和使用advise ，现将它的几种常见用法归纳如下。 1. advise + 名词 / 代词例如： Li Ming advised a swim after school. 李明建议放学以后去游泳。 She will advise you about the right thing to do. 她会帮你出主意该怎么办。 What would you advise ? 你有什么建议？ 2. advise + sb. + 不定式短语 在这个句式中，不定式短语作 advise 的宾语补足语。例如： He often advised people to use their brains . 他常常劝人多用脑子。 His wife advised him to give up smoking , but he wouldn't. 他妻子劝他把烟戒了，但他不肯。 We strongly advised him not to do such a thing . 我们竭力劝他不要这样做。 3. advise + sb. + 特殊疑问词 + 不定式短语 在这个句式中，“特殊疑问词 + 不定式短语”作 advise 的宾语补足语。例如：

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.

youth,,英文演讲稿 篇一：colorful youth英语演讲稿 Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. Today my topic is ‘colorful youth’. I want to ask you a simple question. What is the meaning of youth in your mind Well, some people say that youth is a song echoed the cheerful beautiful melody, while some people say that youth is a painting engraved with the rich romantic colors. However, I think that the process to realize our dream is the most beautiful song of the youth and it is what makes our youth colorful. And here I want to talk about a friend of mine. I think she is the right person to represent the colorful youth. When we were young in the high school, she told me that her dream was to be a teacher in the remote mountain areas, to help the poor children and give them sunshine to make their life colorful. At that time, I didn’t care her words much but she was really serious. After we graduated, she went to a normal college. She

suggest,advice的区别

一、 误用不定式作宾语 要表示汉语的“建议做某事”，英语通常用suggest doing sth，而不能用suggest to do sth。如： 他建议坐飞机去，可我认为这样花费太大。 正：He suggested going by plane, but I thought it would cost too much. 误：He suggested to go by plane, but I thought it would cost too much. 汤姆建议把房子卖了，但是安表示反对。 正：Tom suggested selling the house but Ann was against it. 正：Tom suggested to sell the house but Ann was against it. 二、 汉语通常说“建议某人做某事”，但英语习惯上不能说suggest sb to do sth，而说suggest sb’s [sb]doing sth。也就是说，suggest 后不仅不接不定式，而且也不接不定式的复合结构。如： 他建议我们早点动身。 正：He suggested that we leave earlier. 误：He suggested us to leave earlier. 当然，我们也可以用后接that 从句的形式来表达此意思(注意谓语用“should+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气形式)。如： I suggest that we (should) have lunch right now. 我建议我们现在就吃午饭。 He suggests that we should all go to see the film.

Youth英语演讲稿

Youth英语演讲稿 Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. 青春不是年华，而是心境； It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees. 青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝， It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; 而是深沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情； It is the freshness of the deep spring of life. 青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, 青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱， of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. 进去压倒苟安，如此锐气， This often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20. 二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。 nobody grows merely by the number of years;we grow old by deserting our ideas. 年年有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. 岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。 Worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. 烦忧、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 wonders, 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，the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. 孩童般天真久盛不衰。 In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; 人人心中皆有一台天线， so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from infinite, 只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号， so long as you are young. 你就青春永驻，风华常存。
