1、经典英语名篇文章:青春作者:Samuel Ullman青春不是年华,而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。经典英语文章青春背后的故事:太平洋战争打得正酣之时,麦克阿瑟将军常常从繁忙中抬起头,注视着挂在墙上的镜框,镜框里是篇文章,名为青春。这篇文章一直伴随着他,也跟着他到了日本。后来,日本人在东京的美军总部发现了它,青春便开始在日本流传。一位资深的日本问题观察家说,在日本实业界,只要有成就者,没有哪一个不熟知不应用这篇美文的,就连松下电器的创始人松下幸之助几十年来也把青春当作他的座右铭。还有这么一件趣事,足以证明青春在日本的魅力。一天
