Feeling of Youth

　　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-

　　　　The vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.

　　　　Death. old age. are words without a meaning. that pass by us like the idea 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-

　　　　Bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!

　　　　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 vigor 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 of 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 us0we 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.

　　我的职业.注定着要让我看多人世间生生死死的离别....这于"死亡"这个话题一直都很沉重.也不敢启齿.

　　"我们每个人,年轻的时候都不相信自己会死"。这是我老师说过的话，可算是一句妙言。我想,也许青春有一种永生之感---它能弥补一切吧。人的青春时代好像是一尊永生的神灵。诚然年轻时，生命的一半虽已消逝，但蕴藏着不尽财富的另一半还在继续，所以我们对它也抱着无穷的希望和幻想.....

　　　"死亡，老年...."这些只不过是空话，毫无意义；对于年轻时的我们听了，也只当耳边风，全不放在心上。我们总会这样想着:这些事，别人也许经历过，或者可能要承受，但是我们自己，我们会在神灵的护佑下长生不老的...对于诸如此类关于死亡脆弱的念头，统统付之轻蔑的一笑,像是刚刚走上愉快的旅程，极目远眺......因为我们年轻,所以我们可以毫不畏惧地放声大笑....

　　　年轻时，我们总觉得眼前的风光美景应接不暇，而且，前程会更有美不胜收的新鲜景致。在这生活的开端，我们总是放任自己的志趣驰骋，放手给自己一切满足的机会。因为年轻,所以我们还没有碰上过什么障碍，也没有感觉到什么疲惫，我们总看到四周一片新天地--生机盎然，日新月异,因此觉得还可以一直这样向前走去，直到永远.....我们年轻,所以我们觉得自己活力充盈，精神饱满，可与宇宙并驾齐驱。而且，也无任何迹象可以证明，在大自然的发展过程中，年轻的我们也会落伍，衰老，进入坟墓。由于我们年轻时天真单纯，可以说是茫然无知，因而总将自己跟大自然划上等号；也由于年轻,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、万事长存，好像永远都没有冷淡、黑暗争执、离别....像婴儿带着微笑一样入睡，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着年轻的自己安然入梦；因为年轻,我们总是急切切，兴冲冲地畅饮生命之杯，怎么也不会被饮干，反而好像永远是满满欲溢的；万千世界纷至沓来，各种欲望随之而生，使我们根本腾不出工夫去想到死亡.......
