老骥伏枥,志在千里;烈士暮年,壮心不已
——曹操《龟虽寿》
格言大意:千里马虽然老了,呆在马棚里,但它还是想这驰骋千里;有远大志向的人即使老了,他的雄心壮志依然不会消失。
Main Idea: A fine horse ,though old and retired in the stable ,still aspires to a gallop of one thousand li .A man of high endeavor ,though advanced in years , still cherishes his aspiration.
老当益壮(Old but vigorous)
