• Why is this? The reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life is nowhere else so evident as in our youth. And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life which we feel so poignant , so unutterable, with such a bitter pain and joy, when we are young? It is this: that being rich, we are so poor; that being mighty, we can yet have nothing; that seeing, breathig, smelling, tasting all around us the impossible wealth and glory of this earth, feeling with an intolerable certitude that the whole structure of the enchanted life –
• 不逢北国之秋，已将近十余年了。在南方每年到 了秋天，总要想起陶然亭的芦花，钓鱼台的柳影， 西山的虫唱，玉泉的夜月，潭柘寺的钟声。
• It is more than a decade since I last saw autumn in North. When I am in the South, the arrival of each autumn will put me in mind of Peiping's Tao Ran Ting with its reed catkins, Diao Yu Tai with its shady willow trees, Western Hills with their chirping insects, Yu Quan Shan Mountain on a moonlight evening and Tan Zhe Si with its reverbrating bell.
• A young man is so strong, so mad, so certain, and so lost. He has everything and he is able to use nothing. He hurls the great shoulder of his strength forever against phantasmalbarriers, he is a wave whose power explodes in lost mid – oceans under timeless skies, here-aches out to grip a fume of painted smoke, he wants all, feels the thirst and power foreverything, and finally gets nothing. In the end, he is destroyed by his own strength, devoured by his own hunger, impoverished by his own wealth. Thoughtless of money or the accumulation of material possessions, he is none the less defeated in the end by his own greed a greed that makes the avarice of King Midas seem paltry by comparison.
• 青春消逝，蓦然回首， 无论是谁，心中都会 充满无尽的忧伤，充 满无穷的懊悔。曾经 才智卓越，却白白浪 费了，曾经财富殷实， 却一无所有，曾经本 事高强，却从未利用。 一个认识到自己失落 青春的人回忆起来总 是充满悲伤和懊悔。
Autumn in Peiping
故都的秋
郁达夫
• 秋天，无论在什么地方的秋天，总是 好的；可是啊，北国的秋，却特别地 来得清，来得静，来得悲凉。我的不 远千里，要从杭州赶上青岛，更要从 青岛赶上北平来的理由，也不过想饱 尝一尝这“秋”，这故都的秋味。

Man's Youth
• Man's youth is a wonderful thing: it is so full of anguish and of magic and he never comes to know it as it is, until it has gone from him forever. It is the thing he cannot bear to lose, it is the thing whose passing he watches with infinite sorrow and regret, it is the thing whose loss with a sad and secret joy, the thing he would never willingly relive again, could it be restored to him by any magic.
•பைடு நூலகம்
And that is the reason why, when youth is gone, every man will look back upon that period of his life with infinite sorrow and regret. It is the bitter sorrow and regret of a man who knows that once he had a great talent and wasted it , of a man who knows that once he had a great treasure and got nothing from it , of a man who knows that he had strength enough for everything and never used it.
• Autumn, wherever it is, always has something to recommend itself. In North China, however, it is particularly limpid, serene and melancholy. To enjoy its atmosphere to the full in the onetime capital, I have, therefore, made light of travelling a long distance from Hangzhou to Qingdao, and thence to Peiping.

• 为什么如此？因为在青春 时代，生活充满了奇特而 辛酸的不可思议的事。我 们在青春年少时带着悲喜 交集的心情，十分强烈而 不可名状地感受到人生的 奇特辛酸、不 可思议的经 历。其实质是什么呢？其 实质是这样的：青春年少 的时候，虽然殷实富足， 却非常贫穷；虽然力气强 大，却一无所有；世间的 富贵荣华触目皆是，简直 可 以呼吸到，闻到嗅到， 还可以品尝到，心中的自 信按捺不住，深切地感受 到整个被陶醉了的生活---
• 青年人非常坚强，狂热自信，但容易迷惘混沌， 虽然机缘无数，却把握不住，虽然身强体壮，试 图冲破重重虚幻的屏障，却如同一个波浪，最终 还是无力地消失在旷 远浩淼的大海中央，他伸出 手想要抓住斑斓的云烟，他想得到世间的万物， 渴望主宰一切，最终却是一无所获。最后，他被 自己的力量所毁灭，被自己的饥饿所吞 食，被自 己的财富弄得贫穷潦倒。他对金钱或财富的积累 不以为意漫不经心，然而最终还是被自己的贪欲 所吞噬。
• 江南，秋当然也是有的，但草木凋得慢， 空气来得润，天的颜色显得淡，并且又时 常多雨而少风；一个人夹在苏州上海杭州， 或厦门香港广州的市民中间，混混沌沌地 过去，只能感到一点点清凉，秋的味，秋 的色，秋的意境与姿态，总看不饱，尝不 透，赏玩不到十足。秋并不是名花，也并 不是美酒，那一种半开、半醉的状态，在 领略秋的过程上，是不合适的。
