英文演讲稿，附翻译。

Ladies and Gentlemen , Good morning/afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
First I want to ask you some questions:
1、 Do you know what is youth?
2、 How do you master your youth?

Youth
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
Thank you!
青春
青春不是指岁月，而是指心态。粉嫩的脸，红润的唇，矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。
青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时，青春才存在。果如此，则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念，则垂垂老也。
岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情，则连灵魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫无活力。
60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻，则总能听到希望的呼唤，总能发出喜悦的欢呼，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表现出青春的活力。
一旦青春的天线倒下，你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖；即使你年方20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。
谢谢！

希望可以帮到楼主。

puma at large

Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.

The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered（adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.

Suppose you set your mind to wok on the problem of how you would use your own eyes if you had three more days to see.If with the oncoming darkness of the third night you knew that the sun would never rise for you again,how would you spend those three precious intervening days? What would you most want to let your gaze rest upon?
I ,naturally,should want most to see the things which have become dear to me through my years of darkness.Y ou ,too,would want to let your eyes rest long on the things that have become dear to you so that you could take the memory of them with you into the night that loomed beford you.
I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and comanionship have made my life worth living.First i should like to gaze long upon the face of my teacher,Mrs,Anne Sullivan Macy,who came to me when i was a child and opened of her face,so that i could cherish it in my memory,but to study that face and find in it the living evidengce of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult task of my education.Ishould like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties ,and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often.
Oh,the things tthat i should see if i had the power of sight for jiust three days!

A milkmaid was going to the market.She carried her milk in a pail on her head.
As she went along she began calculating what she would buy after she had sold the milk.
"I'll buy a new dress, and when i go to the ball,all the young men will dance with me!"
As she spoke she tossed her head back.the pail immediately fell off her head,and all the milk was spolt.
The girl went back without anything.she felt very sad."ah,my child,"said her mother.
"do not count your chickens before they are batched

送牛奶的女孩和她的桶
一个送牛乃的女孩去市场。她手里拎着一桶奶。
在她进去时候，她考虑到：卖了奶，她该买什么呢？
“我要买条新裙子，然后去参加误会，年轻的先生们将全和我跳舞。”
说着说着，她摇了摇头。提桶从手中打翻，牛奶全洒了。
女孩什么都没买就回去了。她觉得很沮丧。“啊，我的孩子，”她的妈妈说，“不要过于乐观。”
