保持年轻：一种精神状态
Being Young: A State of Mind
我最近参加了一次家庭郊游。
I recently went on a family outing.
孩子们到处乱跑，
The kids were running around,
就像孩子们那样疯狂，
being crazy like kids do,
而我的妻子和我负责照顾他们。
and my wife and I taking care of them.
我的婆婆也来参加并且帮助我们，
My mother-in-law also came to have fun and help,
而不管你信不信，
and believe it or not,
在整个团队中她是最有用的人。
she was the most useful person in the whole group.
她一整天跑来跑去，玩乐，开怀大笑。
She was running around, having fun, and laughing all day.
有这样一个欢快的、充满热情和爱的人在真是太伟大了。
It was great to have such a bright, warm, and loving person around.
有些人担心变老。
Some people worry about getting old.
他们尽一切可能慢慢变老。
They do everything possible to age slowly.
我能理解。
I can understand.
我想能够尽可能长时间的保持速度和力量。
I want to be able to move with speed and strength as long as possible.
但是看我婆婆……我的天，
But watching my mother-in-law… my goodness,
我希望自己在她的年龄时有她的力量和速度。
I hope I have her strength and speed when I'm her age.
我希望自己在她的年龄时心智能像她一样。
I hope my mind is as sharp as hers when I'm her age.
我希望自己成为爷爷时就像她一样热情并给予他人。
I hope I am warm and giving like she is when I become a grandpa.
是什么让我们的年龄变大吗？
What makes us age?
在我看来，这不仅仅是身体方面。
It seems to me that it's more than physical.
我看到人们年轻的躯体也似乎很"老"。
I've seen people in young bodies that seem VERY ‘old'.
他们很不活跃。
They are inactive.
他们似乎对生活感到不满。有什么秘诀保持青春吗？
They seem to be unhappy about life. What's the secret to staying young?
有些人说我们年老时就停止学习新事物。
Some people say we get old when we stop learning new things.
你是怎么想的？
What do you think?
