重温一篇新概念4的经典文章:
                                    Youth
   
     People are always talking about 'the problem of youth'. If there is one -- which I take leave to doubt -- then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves. Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings -- people just like their elders. There is only one difference between an old man and a young one: the young man has a glorious future before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him: and maybe that is where the rub is.   

   

     When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain -- that I was a new boy in a huge school, and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem.For one thing, being a problem gives you a certain identity, and that is one ofthe things the young are busily engaged in seeking.

   

     I find young people exciting.They have an air of freedom, and they not a dreary commitment to mean ambitions or love of comfort. They are not anxious social climbers, and they have no devotion to material things. All this seems to me to link them with life, and the origins of things. It's as if they were, in some sense, cosmic beings inviolent and lovely contrast with us suburban creatures. All that is in my mind when I meet a young person. He may be conceited, ill-mannered, presumptuous orfatuous, but I do not turn for protection to dreary cliches about respect ofelders -- as if mere age were a reason for respect. I accept that we are equals, and I will argue with him, as an equal, if I think he is wrong.

Youth is precious, but we do not find the right direction.

When I was young, I thought there were only two kinds of people:
the evil and the good.
Youngsters are full of ambitions,
they struggle with the vicious power regardless of their background,
they support those they think who are wise and farsighted,
they can do everything if they are encouraged to do so.
In this case, they are the main power to support a fair and clean environment.
However, they are also easily taken advantage of.

The elders, have contributed a lot to the society.
After many years' experiences, they are divided into the strong and the weak.
Sometimes the strong mean they have achieved success, but maybe over one night, success can still turn into failure.
Sometimes the weak haven't got the power, but instead of inability, they may have done many sacrifices.

We don't have one benchmark to measure everyone,
but we should know,
the place we stand on now was cultivated by the old generation,
gratitude is necessary to accept what we get from our antecessors.

“There is only one difference between an old man and a young one: the young man has a glorious future before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him ”。
