Talk About the Fear of Aging 談?wù)搶?duì)衰老的恐懼

你是希望永遠(yuǎn)年輕，還是像莫里一樣樂(lè)于接受變老？

"As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth."
“隨著年齡的增加，你的閱歷也更加豐富。如果你停留在二十二歲的年齡階段，你就永遠(yuǎn)是二十二歲的那般淺薄。要知道，衰老并不就是衰敗。它是成熟?！?/div>

"... if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more, do
more. You can't wait until sixty-five."
“……一旦找到了生活的意義，你就不會(huì)想回到從前去。你想往前走。你想看得更多，做得更多。你想體驗(yàn)六十五歲的那份經(jīng)歷。

"The truth is, part of me is every age. I'm a three-year-old, I'm a five-year-old, I'm a thirty-seven-year-old, I'm a fifty-year-old. I've been through all of them, and I know what it's like. I delight in being a child when it's appropriate to be a child. I delight in being a wise old man when it's appropriate to be a wise old man. Think of all I can be! I am every age, up to my own."
"How can I be envious of where you are-when I've been there myself?"
“實(shí)際上，我分屬于不同的年齡階段。我是個(gè)三歲的孩子，也是個(gè)五歲的孩子；我是個(gè)三十七歲的中年人，也是個(gè)五十歲的中年人。這些年齡階段我都經(jīng)歷過(guò)，我知道它們是什么樣的。當(dāng)我應(yīng)該是個(gè)孩子時(shí)，我樂(lè)于做個(gè)孩子；當(dāng)我應(yīng)該是個(gè)聰明的老頭時(shí)，我也樂(lè)于做個(gè)聰明的老頭。我樂(lè)于接受自然賦于我的一切權(quán)力。我屬于任何一個(gè)年齡，直到現(xiàn)在的我?！?br> “我不會(huì)羨慕你的人生階段——因?yàn)槲乙灿羞^(guò)這個(gè)人生階段。”
