1. Translation: In the morning, there are green sunflowers in the garden, and the crystal dew is waiting to dry in the sun. Spring spreads the hope of happiness all over the earth, and all living things show prosperity and vitality. I often worry that the chilling autumn will come and the flowers and leaves will turn yellow and wither.
Thousands of rivers are rushing eastward and flowing into the sea. When will they flow back westward again? If you don’t know how to be strong when you are young and strong, your hair will turn gray when you are old, you will accomplish nothing, and your sorrow will be useless.
2. Original text: Sunflowers bloom in the green garden, the morning dew awaits the setting sun. In the spring of Budeze, all things will be radiant. I am often afraid that when the autumn festival comes, the yellow flowers and leaves will wither. Hundreds of rivers flow from the east to the sea, when will they return to the west? If a young man does not work hard, the old man will be miserable.

"Long Song Xing" is a Chinese classical poem, which belongs to the Yuefu poems of the Han Dynasty. It is a famous poem that exhorts the world to cherish the time and forge ahead. Judging from the overall concept of this poem, the main meaning is that seasons change quickly and time is gone forever. Therefore, it advises people to cherish their youth and work hard to make a difference.
The whole poem uses scenery to express feelings, and is based on emotions. It embodies the life philosophy of "young people don't work hard, old people will be sad" in vivid images such as the morning dew is drying, the leaves are falling in autumn, and the rivers are flowing eastward. In the poem, with the help of the morning dew that fades, the flowers and leaves falling in autumn, and the flowing water that flows eastward but never returns, there is a sigh that time is fleeting and life is short. It encourages people to hold on to the life that flies by with time and work hard to make a difference in their youth.
The emotional tone is positive. The main idea is reflected in the last two sentences, but the poet's thoughts are not simply stated. Instead, he extracts specific images full of beauty from the real world and teaches them through aesthetics.
