Practice 5　　生命没有寄托的人，青年时代和“儿时”对他格外宝贵。这种浪漫谛克的回忆其实并不是发见了“儿时”的真正了不得，而是感觉到“中年”以后的衰退。本来，生命只有一次，对于谁都是宝贵的。但 是，假使他的生命溶化在大众的里面，假使他天天在为这世界干些什么，那末，他总在生长，虽然衰老病死仍旧是逃避不了，然而他的事业——大众的事业是不死的，他会领略到“永久的青年”。而“浮生如梦”的人，从这世界里拿去的很多，而给这世界的却很少——他总有一天会觉得疲乏的死亡：他连拿都没有力量了。衰老和无能的悲哀，像铅一样的沉重，压在他的心头。青春是多么短呵!（瞿秋白——《儿时》）

正确答案： 【参考译文】
Qu Qiubai When one has nothing to live for in life, he tends to look back with nostalgia on the days gone by—his youth and childhood. The romantic memory of the past is, in fact, not a discovery of the sweetness of “childhood”, but an awareness of life beginning to fade after “middle age”. One has but one life to live and, naturally, it is treasured by all. However, if one’s life is dedicated to the cause of the people, if he makes a point of doing something every day for the world, he is growing and, though eventually he will die, the cause he lives for—the cause of the people will never die. In other words, he will gain a sense of “eternal youth”. As for the one who lives his life like a floating cloud, he takes a lot from the world but gives little in return. Sooner or later he will be approaching death with such tiredness that he will find himself deprived of the energy to “take”. Then the grief caused by age and impotence will render his heart as heavy as if loaded with lead. How fast youth goes!
