　　Success Is on the Other Side

　　成功就在對(duì)面

　　Every body wants success. Some people aim for it; others just talk about it. We all know what it looks like... when someone else has it. Often times it just seems like something too far out of reach.

　　每個(gè)人都渴望獲得成功。有些人以此為目標(biāo)，而有些人則多言寡行。當(dāng)別人獲得成功時(shí)，我們都知道什么是成功。在很多時(shí)候，成功看起來似乎遙不可及。

　　The truth is... success is closer than you think. It's just on the other side... you have to want it enough, and be willing enough to get it.

　　而事實(shí)上，成功比你想象的要容易得多。成功只不過就在對(duì)面，你必須對(duì)成功充滿渴望，必須心甘情愿去獲取它。

　　On the other side of fear

　　成功在恐懼的對(duì)面

　　Fear is your biggest obstacle — fear of failure, fear of the judgment of others; fear of actually succeeding. It will trip you up every time. It will cause you to make decisions that may seem "right" at the time, but they're preventing you from actually getting over that wall.

　　恐懼是最大的障礙一對(duì)失敗的恐懼，對(duì)他人評(píng)價(jià)的恐懼，對(duì)真正獲得成功的恐懼?？謶謺r(shí)時(shí)會(huì)把你絆倒，它會(huì)使你做出那些在當(dāng)時(shí)看似“正確”的決定，而這些決定卻會(huì)妨礙你真正去克服那些困難。

　　On the other side of excuses

　　成功在托辭的對(duì)面

　　Success has no excuses. You either get it or you don't. The minute you find a reason not to take another step towards success is the moment you stop being successful. In the symphony of success, excuses are just noise.

　　成功沒有任何托辭。要么成功，要么失敗。尋找托辭不朝成功之路再邁一步之時(shí)便是你不再獲得成功之日。在成功的交響曲中，托辭只不過是噪音而已。

　　On the other side of obstacles

　　成功在障礙的對(duì)面

　　Everyone faces changes; different ones at different times. We all handle the same challenges differently; we all have different results. If s how you handle each one and what you do with the results that count. An obstacle is something you either find a way around or allow to stop you. Remember, you've got to get passed obstacles in order to succeed.

　　每個(gè)人都要面臨各種變化，這些變化隨著時(shí)間的不同而不同。同樣的挑戰(zhàn)若是應(yīng)對(duì)方式不同，得到的結(jié)果也各不相同。重要的是，你如何應(yīng)對(duì)每一個(gè)變化以及如何處理那些結(jié)果。面對(duì)障礙，你要么找到出路，要么讓它成為你的“攔路虎”。要記住，為了獲得成功，你必須穿越障礙。

　　On the other side of failures

　　成功在失敗的對(duì)面

　　Not everything works; even if it works for other people, the same thing just doesn^ work for us. So what? Failure can either become an obstacle and an excuse or it can become your teacher in what not to do. What's it going to be?

　　并非事事都行得通，即使是同樣的一件事，對(duì)他人起作用，對(duì)我們卻不一定有效。即便如此，那又如何呢?失敗既可以成為障礙，成為托辭，也可以化身為給予你指導(dǎo)的老師。

　　It takes efifort, commitment and follow-throgh.

　　成功需要付出努力，需要承擔(dān)責(zé)任，需要堅(jiān)持到底。

　　They call it a ladder of success for a reason... because you need to climb it in order to get somewhere. It's not an escalator. You just don't stand there and let it do the work for you. You have to do the work yourself. Sometimes it will be easy; other times you,ll be carrying a heavy load on your shoulders. The ladder remains the same. Success still waits on the other side. It's going to take determination and persistence on your part to get up and over that wall.

　　人們有理由稱之為通向成功的階梯,因?yàn)槟阈枰柚@個(gè)階梯才能到達(dá)某個(gè)地方。但它不是自動(dòng)扶梯，你不能在那兒站著不動(dòng)，讓自動(dòng)扶梯為你工作。你得身體力行。有時(shí)你會(huì)輕而易舉，有時(shí)你則肩負(fù)重?fù)?dān)。階梯保持原樣，成功仍然在對(duì)面等待。你需要決心和毅力去穿越那堵障礙之墻。

　　Which side do you want to be on?

　　那么，你希望在哪一邊?

　　Nature

　　自然

　　To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing. The sun illuminate only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child. The lover of nature is he whose inward and out­ward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of man­hood. His intercourse with heaven and earth, becomes part of his daily food. In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows. Nature says, he is my creature, and maugre all his im­pertinent griefs, he shall be glad with me. Not the sun or the summer alone, but every hour and season yields its tribute of delight; for every hour and change corre­sponds to and authorizes a different state of the mind, from breathless noon to grimmest midnight. Nature is a setting that fits equally well a comic or a mourning piece. In good health, the air is a cordial of incredible virtue. Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles, at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear. In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child, in the woods, is perpetual youth. Within these plantations of God, a decorum and sanctity reign, a pe­rennial festival is dressed, and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years, In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes) which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare, ground, my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of Gods. In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man be­holds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature.

　　說實(shí)話，沒有幾個(gè)成年人能真正看見自然。大多數(shù)人都看不見大陽;至少，他們眼里看出來的大陽是單一的。對(duì)于成人來說，大陽只是照亮了他的眼睛，但對(duì)孩子而言，陽光卻滲入了他的眼睛和心靈。一個(gè)熱愛自然的人，他外在的知覺和內(nèi)心的感觸是合而為一的，即使他長(zhǎng)大成年以后，還依然保持著一顆童年的心。對(duì)他來說，與天地的交流，是日常生活中不可殘缺的一部分。面對(duì)大自然，哪怕生活中有再大的憂傷，他的內(nèi)心也會(huì)涌起莫大的喜悅。大自然說，他乃我所生，盡管他有各種無端的憂傷，但他將和我一同快樂。自然帶給我們的快樂不單單是陽光和夏日，每一個(gè)季節(jié)、每時(shí)每刻她都給我們帶來歡樂和欣喜。這是因?yàn)椋恳豢?、每一個(gè)變化，從沉悶的中午到漆黑的午夜，都意味著一種全新的心情。在自然這個(gè)大舞臺(tái)上，既能上演喜劇，也能烘托悲情。如果身心健康，那么，你會(huì)覺得空氣中仿佛也充滿了善意與美德。當(dāng)我在黎明陰沉的天空下踏著積雪的水坑，穿過空曠的廣場(chǎng)時(shí)，雖然明知道不會(huì)有什么特別的好運(yùn)降臨，內(nèi)心卻分明感到了極度的興奮。我慶幸自己仿佛來到了恐懼的邊緣。在森林中也是如此，人一年一年地老去，就如同蛇蛻去了身上的皮，但不管他處在生命的哪個(gè)階段，他永遠(yuǎn)是一個(gè)孩子。在森林里，青春是永恒的主旋律。在這些上帝掌管的田園里，禮儀與圣潔高高在上，喜慶的節(jié)日四季不斷，尊貴的客人沉醉其中、逍遙自在，千年都不醒。在森林里，我們復(fù)歸理性與信仰。在那里，生活中所遭遇到的一切一恥辱、災(zāi)難(除非我的眼睛看不見)統(tǒng)統(tǒng)都會(huì)在自然的神力作用下消遁于無形。當(dāng)我佇足曠野，頭腦陶醉在宜人的空氣中，身體只覺得飄飄然騰空而起，所有卑微的私心雜念都蕩然無存了。我變成了一顆透明的眼球。我渺小至極，卻洞悉一切。世間生靈匯成一股洪流，在我周身循環(huán)，我成了上帝或大或小的一個(gè)部分。在靜謐的風(fēng)景里，尤其在遙遠(yuǎn)的地平線上，人們看見了某種與他本性一般美好的事物。

　　The Strenuous Life

　　艱辛的人生

　　A life of slothful ease, a life of that peace which springs merely from lack either of desire or of power to strive after great things, is as little worthy of a nation as an individual.

　　一種怠惰安逸的生活，一種僅僅是由于缺少追尋偉大事物的渴望或能力而導(dǎo)致的悠閑生活，對(duì)國家與個(gè)人都是毫無價(jià)值的。

　　We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the man who embodies victorious efforts, the man who never wrongs his neighbor, who is prompt to help a friend, but who has those virile qualities necessary to win in the stern strife of actual life. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort. Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past. A man can be freed from the necessity of work only by the fact that he or his fathers before him have worked to good purpose. If the freedom thus purchased is used aright, and the man still does actual work, though of a different kind, whether as a writer or a general, whether in the field of politics or in the field of exploration and adventure, he shows he deserves his good fortune.

　　我們不欣賞那種怯懦安逸的人。我們欽佩那種表現(xiàn)出奮力向上的人，那種永不屈待鄰人，能隨時(shí)幫助朋友，但是也具有那些剛健的品質(zhì)，足以在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活的嚴(yán)酷斗爭(zhēng)中獲取勝利的人。失敗是難以忍受的，但更為糟糕的是從來不去努力爭(zhēng)取成功。在人的這一生中，任何的收獲都要通過努力去得到。目前不作任何的努力，只不過意味著在過去有過努力的積儲(chǔ)。一個(gè)人不必工作，除非他或其先輩們?cè)?jīng)努力工作過，并取得了豐厚的收獲。假如他能夠把獲得的這種自由加以正確地運(yùn)用，仍然做些實(shí)際的工作，盡管那些工作是屬于另一類的，不論是做一名作家還是將軍，不論是在政界還是在探險(xiǎn)和冒險(xiǎn)方面做些事情，都表明了他沒有辜負(fù)自己的好運(yùn)。

　　But if he treats this period of freedom from the need of actual labor as a period, not of preparation, but of mere enjoyment, even though perhaps not of vicious enjoyment, he shows that he is simply a cumberer on the earth's surface; and he surely unfits himself to hold his own place with his fellows, if the need to do so should again arise. A mere life of ease is not in the end a very satisfactory life, and, above all, it is a life which ultimately unfits those who follow it for serious work in the world.

　　但是，假如他未將這段需要從事實(shí)際工作的自由時(shí)期用于準(zhǔn)備，而僅僅是用于享樂(即使他所從事的或許并非不良的享樂)，那也就表明了他只是地球表面上的一個(gè)贅疣;而且如果那種需要再度出現(xiàn)的話，他肯定無法在同僚之中維持自己的地位。一種純粹安逸的生活終究不是一種令人很滿意的生活，而且，最主要的是，過那種生活的人最終肯定沒有能力擔(dān)當(dāng)起世上之重任。

　　As it is with the individual, so it is with the nation. It is a base untruth to say that happy is the nation that has no history. Thrice happy is the nation that has a glorious history. Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

　　對(duì)于個(gè)人是如此，對(duì)于國家也是這樣。有人說一個(gè)沒有歷史的國家是得天獨(dú)厚的，這是根本錯(cuò)誤的。一種得天獨(dú)厚的優(yōu)越感來源于一個(gè)國家所具有的光榮歷史。敢于挑戰(zhàn)非比尋常的事物，去贏得光輝的勝利，即使其中摻雜著失敗，那也遠(yuǎn)勝于與那些既沒有享受多大快樂也沒有遭受多大痛苦的平庸之輩為伍，因?yàn)樗麄兩钤谝粋€(gè)既享受不到勝利也不會(huì)遭遇挫敗的灰暗的境界中。
