On Perseverance
關(guān)于堅(jiān)持
Behind every great achievement in anyone's life lies perseverance.We see this in every human endeavor.Outstanding sportsmen spend all their time practising.Their endurance is beyond imagination.
每個人的生活中的每一個偉大的成就背后都要有毅力.在每個努力的人中我們都可以看到這一點(diǎn).優(yōu)秀運(yùn)動員把所有時間都花在練習(xí)上.他們的耐力是超乎想象的.
The same is true of businessmen who build up fortunes.What we usually see are their achievements, but once we go behind the scenes we will find that they have put in a lot of continual steady efforts.We all have read of great musicians, writers and inventors who have created or discovered breakthroughs in human achievement.Invariably they have said that they owe all their success to perseverance.As to college students, quite a big number of then, have become successful language learners through perseverance, however, a certain group of them, just stop half way and their previous efforts turn out to be fruitless.
對于獲取財(cái)富的商人也是相同的.我們通常看到的是他們的成就,但是,一旦我們走進(jìn)幕后我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)他們已經(jīng)付出了大量持續(xù)穩(wěn)定的努力.我們都讀過關(guān)于偉大的音樂家,作家和發(fā)明家的成就,他們都已經(jīng)創(chuàng)建或發(fā)現(xiàn)突破.他們總是說他們所有的成功都?xì)w功于堅(jiān)持堅(jiān)持.相當(dāng)大數(shù)量的大學(xué)生通過毅力已成為成功的語言學(xué)習(xí)者,然而,他們中的一些特定的人只是半途而廢而他們之前的努力也就變成徒勞的.
Of all the countless examples the saga of Colonel Saunders is perhaps one of the most outstanding.The 65-year-old man from Kentucky had a dream to start a chain of fried chicken restaurants all over the world.To realize his dream, he knew that he needed a restaurant owner to go into partnership with him to open the first restaurant and to fry chicken according to the secret recipe he had.Colonel Saunders had knocked on 1008 doors before he finally found his partner.It is doubtful whether many of us would have had the perseverance to knock even a hundred doors.
無數(shù)的例子中,桑德斯上校的傳奇例子也許是最優(yōu)秀的.來自肯塔基州的這位65歲老人做了一個在世界各地開連鎖炸雞餐廳的夢.為了實(shí)現(xiàn)他的夢傳,他知道他需要一個餐館老板與他合作開第一家餐館并且根據(jù)他的炸雞秘方制作.在桑德斯上校終于找到他的合作伙伴時,他已經(jīng)敲了1008次門了.毫無疑問的是我們中的許多人未必有毅力敲一百次門
From the above discussion we can draw a conclusion that success comes to anyone who keeps working perseveringly and lack of perseverance can only result in frustration and failure.
從上面的討論中我們可以得出一個結(jié)論,成功只給那些一直堅(jiān)定地工作的人而缺乏毅力只能導(dǎo)致挫折和失敗.

Success Belongs to the Persevering
堅(jiān)持就是勝利
Nothing can be more exciting than success to a man.But you must face many difficulties before you can succeed. No one can make it easily.And it's harder for those who are in adverse conditions to succeed.However,everything has two sides.Just as someone said, in every adversity there lies the seed of an advantage and in every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time.The most important forus is to establish a brief, that is perseverance.The British ex-prime minister Winston Churchill had a motto of "Never, never, never, never give up .Nothing can substitute for hard work. Life is a process of struggle for success.
對于一個人來說,最令人激動的事莫過于成功.但成功路上荊棘密布,沒有人能夠隨隨便便成功.處在逆境中的人似乎更難以成功.但任何事情都有兩面性.有人說：“每一個逆境中都深埋著機(jī)遇的種子,每一次失敗都孕育著再次勝利的經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn).”最重要的是有一種信念,那就是堅(jiān)持.英國前首相丘吉爾有一句座右銘就是“永不放棄!”沒有什么能代替不斷的艱苦勞動,人生就是一個拼搏的過程.

Hard Work Is Good for Health
努力工作有利健康
Scientists find that the hard-working prestigious people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives.Evidences show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders.An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases correspondingly by 2%.All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health.
科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)努力工作的名人比一般人壽命長,職業(yè)婦女比家庭婦女健康.有證據(jù)表明,失業(yè)者比在業(yè)人員健康狀況差.調(diào)查表明失業(yè)率每增長l％,死亡率相應(yīng)增長2％.所有這些都表明：工作有利于健康.
Why is work good for health?It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness and solitude.Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and solitary when they have nothing to do.Instead, the happiest are those who are busy.Many high achievers who love their careers feel they are most happy when they are working hard.Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. By collective activity, they find friendship and warmth.This is helpful to health.The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and hence makes him liable to disease.
為什么工作對健康有好處?因?yàn)楣ぷ魇谷嗣β?不會寂寞、孤獨(dú).研究表明,人們無事可做時會感到不愉快、憂慮、孤獨(dú).忙碌反而使人愉快.許多熱愛事業(yè)、卓有成就的人在努力工作時感到最幸福.工作可作為人與現(xiàn)實(shí)之間的橋梁：通過工作,人們彼此接觸；通過集體活動,人們得到友誼和溫暖.這有利于健康.失去工作就是失去一切,它影響人的精神,使人容易得病.
