I was intemperate in my youth.
I was intemperate in my youth.我年少轻狂。
形容词intemperate的本意是，无节制的，放纵过度的，有时候会特指饮酒过度。因此，这句话意思相近的汉语表达还可以是，我少不更事，我年幼无知。它的反意词即是temperate，温和的，适度的，有节制的。
例句，
He is always temperate in his language. 他言辞总是很温和。
We should learn to be temperate in eating and drinking. 我们应该在饮食上有所节制。
Temperance can be a convenient disguise for fear. 温文尔雅以便掩饰胆怯。
