英語美文朗讀 第350期 Failure Is What Makes You Stronger

The thing about life is it's not always easy, and you can't always win. Some point of your life, it hits you. It hits you really really hard. The person you love doesn't love you back, you get fired, you lose a family member. At some point of your life, you're gonna hit rock bottom. You're paralyzed, you're like, "Why?" And that why can really really destroy you. Once you start asking yourself, "Why me? Why not the others, why me? I'm actually a good person, I never did something significantly bad, why the hell did it hit me?" Because that's life. Life is unfair.

 

生活的真相就是，生活很難，你不可能一直是贏家。有時候，生活給你打擊，非常，非常沉重的打擊。你愛的人不愛你，你被辭退了，你失去了至親。有時候，你會跌入谷底。你已經(jīng)麻木了，你會想問為什么。這“為什么”會摧毀你。一旦你開始問你自己，“為什么是我？為什么不是別人？為什么是我？我真的是個好人，我從來沒有做過嚴重的壞事，但為什么偏偏是我遇到這么多坎坷？”因為，這就是生活，生活就是不公平的。

 

Success is not measured on the days when the sun shines. Success is measured on the dark, stormy, cloudy days. And if you can't absorb failure, you're never gonna meet success.

成功不是用陽光燦爛的日子來衡量的，成功是由那些黑暗的、狂風(fēng)暴雨的、陰云蔽日的日子來衡量的。如果你無法接受失敗，你就永遠不會成功。

 

Sometimes it takes things falling apart, for better things to fall into place. Sometimes it takes the most uncomfortable path, to lead your life to the most beautiful place.

有的時候，很多東西會崩潰瓦解，這樣，更好的東西才會有容身之地。有時候，你要走那條最艱苦的道路，才能將你的人生引到最美麗的地方。

 

There's gonna be bad days, there's gonna be dark days, but you've gotta embrace it. Because that pain is what makes you stronger. Failure is what makes you stronger.

生命中會有糟糕的日子，會有黑暗的日子，但你終將能夠面對它們。因為這些痛苦會使你更加強大。失敗會使你更加強大。

 

You have to accept those down times, because once you realize those down times, are just as much part of life as anything else, you're able to strive again.

你必須接受這些命途多舛的日子，因為，一旦你意識到，它們和生命中的其它時候并沒有什么不同，你就能夠奮勇拼搏了。

 

You'll never see the purpose of the storm, until you see the growth it produced. You'll never understand why you went through what you went through, until you see the strength, the power, the resilience that it built inside of you.

只到歷經(jīng)風(fēng)暴后獲得了成長，你才會看清風(fēng)暴的意義。在你經(jīng)歷了一些事情，獲得了成長，獲得了力量，獲得了堅韌的毅力之后，你才會發(fā)現(xiàn)你的經(jīng)歷有何意義。

 

Ask yourself why. But this why is a better why, "Why am I doing this? Why am I failing? Why am I even getting myself in a situation where I could fail? Because I have a dream. Because I have goals." And the more you're thinking back to those original goals, the easier it is for you to get back up and say, "Alright, it might be difficult, it might be painful, it might be stressful, there might be no people that believe in me, but I believe in myself." You know it might have been the case that you should have gone through that harsh break up, that you should have gone through that heavy loss, just in order to find something even better. But the only way to get to that even better, is to get back up and work. To get back up and put yourself out there again. And arise from that again, stronger, better, smarter, ready to grasp that new opportunity.

問問你自己，為什么？這個“為什么”是更加有意義的“為什么”。“為什么我要這樣做？為什么我失敗了？為什么我讓自己處于隨時可能失敗的境地？因為我有夢想，因為我有追求。”你越是反思你最初的目標，你就越能夠輕松地爬起來，說，“好吧，或許我會遇到困難，或許我會遭受痛苦，或許我會面臨壓力，或許壓根沒人相信我，但我相信我自己。”你要知道，也許事實就是，你必須經(jīng)歷分手的煎熬、失去的痛苦，這樣你才能找到更好的。但，要想找到更好的，唯一的出路就是，爬起來，努力奮斗。爬起來，讓你自己去面對世界。你要爬起來，你變得更堅強，更優(yōu)秀，更睿智，你做好了準備，去把握新的機遇。

 

You have belief the tables in your life will turn. That pain will become power, that weakness will become strength, and that confusion will become peace. Better things are coming for your life. Everyday is a new beginning. It's time for you to start treating it that way.

你要知道，你會遇到柳暗花明又一村的時候。昔日的痛苦，會變成巨大的力量；曾經(jīng)的弱點，會變成你的優(yōu)勢；以往的迷茫，會變成內(nèi)心的平靜。更好的東西正在向你走來。每日都是新的起點?，F(xiàn)在，是時候開始以這種心態(tài)面對你的每一天了！
