精彩美文欣賞If
If you can 1)keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But 2)make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two 3)impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by 4)knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with 5)worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of 6)pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and 7)sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on !”;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds “worth of distance run”
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man my son!
如果
如果所有人都失去理智,咒罵你,
你仍能保持頭腦清醒;
如果所有人都懷疑你,
你仍能堅(jiān)信自己,讓所有的懷疑動(dòng)搖;
如果你要等待,不要因此厭煩,
為人所騙,不要因此騙人,
為人所恨,不要因此抱恨,

如果你能忍受你曾講過(guò)的事實(shí)
被惡棍扭曲,用于蒙騙傻子,
或者,看著你用畢生去看護(hù)的東西被破壞,
俯下身去,用破舊的工具把它修補(bǔ);
如果在你贏得無(wú)數(shù)桂冠之后,
然后孤注一擲再博一次,
失敗過(guò)后,東山再起,
不要抱怨你的失;
如果你能迫使自己,
在別人走后,長(zhǎng)久堅(jiān)守陣地,
在你心中已空蕩蕩無(wú)一物,
只有意志告訴你“堅(jiān)持!”;
如果你與人交談,能保持風(fēng)度,
伴王同行,能保持距離;
如果仇敵和好友都不害你;
如果所有人都指望你,卻無(wú)人全心全意;
如果你花六十秒進(jìn)行短程跑,
填滿那不可饒恕的.一分鐘--
你就可以擁有一個(gè)世界,
這個(gè)世界的一切都是你的,
更重要的是,孩子,你是個(gè)頂天立地的人。
