许其正：临老

年纪其实只是一个数字

最多是生物学上的

是身体形貌上的

只看外表多皱的脸容，翻白的头发

就是老了吗？

多少人一把年纪了

他们却显得年轻

精神充沛，精力旺盛

仍然在职场上奋发努力

仍然在各种场域驰骋

他们老了吗？

应该说他们更年轻

尤其他们累积了一身经验

更比年轻人有魄力和识见

更能创造成绩

你，你年纪临老了

但是你没老，你更年轻

因为你抬起头，无所畏惧

更加昂扬，更加发挥力量

枝叶般繁发，花朵般盛开

Age 　Hsu ChiCheng

Actually age is only a number

Biologically at the most

Physically or physiologically

Crumpled face, graying hair

Is this the sign of an old age?

How many aged men

Look so young

Full of vigor and vitality

Still stirring themselves in their work

Still making their efforts in their job

Are they aged?

Of course they are younger

Particularly they are experienced

More mettlesome than young people

Giving more brilliant records

You, advanced in age

But you are not aged; you are younger

Because you raise your head, dauntless

More spirited, wielding more power

Flourishing like leafy branches, blossoming like flowers @
