On the Feeling of Immortality in youth



Hints:

無

Bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail! And see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance, so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations, nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. We have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag, and it seems that we can go on so forever. We look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseless progress, and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave.
向遠(yuǎn)方的美景歡呼！此時(shí)，但覺好風(fēng)光應(yīng)接不暇，而且，前程更有美不勝收的新鮮景致。在這生活的開端，我們聽任自己的志趣馳騁，放手給它們一切滿足的機(jī)會(huì)。到此為止，我們還沒有碰上過什么障礙，也沒有感覺到什么疲憊， 因此覺得還可以一直這樣向前走去，直到永遠(yuǎn)。我們看到四周一派新天地——生機(jī)盎然，變動(dòng)不居，日新月異；我們覺得自己活力充盈，精神飽滿，可與宇宙并駕齊驅(qū)。而且，眼前也無任何跡象可以證明，在大自然的發(fā)展過程中，我們自己也會(huì)落伍，衰老，進(jìn)入墳?zāi)埂?/div>
