The foundation of every state is the education of its youth
一国的根基在于教育它的青年
It has often been said that a country's future lies in its youth.
常言道：国家的前途在于青年。
That is why it is of paramount importance that we educate our youth,
这也说明了教育青年是极为重要的事，
for it is they that will determine the strength or weakness of a country.
因为决定国家是富强还是衰败就在这些青年。
No wonder it has been said that the foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
难怪有人说一国的根基在于教育它的青年。
