二、

"These two little words gave him a fresh impulse, and he bent his mind again to his task.

“這幾個(gè)字給了他新的動(dòng)力，他再次下定決心去完成自己的功課。

Gradually he began to find the sentences lingering in his memory; and soon, to his surprise and pleasure, the whole lesson was mastered!"

他漸漸地開始發(fā)現(xiàn)那些句子在記憶中揮之不去；很快，讓他又驚又喜的是，他掌握了整篇課文的內(nèi)容！

He then rose from his seat and proceeded to the teacher's desk."

然后，他從座位上站起來(lái)，走到老師的書桌前。”

"What do you want now? asked the teacher."

“現(xiàn)在你想怎么樣？老師問。”

"To say my lesson, sir."

“復(fù)述課文，老師。”

"Did you not try half an hour ago?"

“你半小時(shí)前不是試過了嗎？”

"Yes; but I can say it now, sir, said the boy."

“是的；但是現(xiàn)在我可以復(fù)述了，老師。男孩說(shuō)。”

"'Go on, then.'

“那復(fù)述吧。”

"Henry commenced, and repeated the whole lesson without missing a word!

“亨利開始了，他復(fù)述了整篇課文，一個(gè)詞也沒丟！

The master gave him a look of pleasure as he handed back his book."

他把書還給老師時(shí)，老師高興地看著他。”

"From that day," continued Mr. Prentice, "there was no boy in the school who learned more rapidly than Henry.

“從那天起，”普倫蒂斯先生繼續(xù)說(shuō)，“學(xué)校里沒有哪個(gè)男孩比亨利學(xué)得更快。

From that day till the present hour he has been a student; and he now urges his son George to 'try again,' as he tried."

從那天到此時(shí)此刻，他一直都是個(gè)學(xué)生?，F(xiàn)在，他鼓勵(lì)兒子喬治像他那樣'再試一次'。”

"And was it indeed you, father?" asked his son, eagerly looking up into the face of his kind parent.

“爸爸，這真的是你嗎？”兒子問道，急切地仰望著自己和藹的父親。

"Yes, my child. That dull boy was your own father in his early years."

“是的，孩子。那個(gè)遲鈍的男孩就是童年時(shí)的爸爸啊。”

"Then I will try again," said George, in a decided tone;

“那我就再試一次，”喬治用堅(jiān)定的口吻說(shuō)著。

and, flinging aside his half-made kite, he turned and re-entered the house, and was soon bending in earnest attention over his lesson.

他拋下做了一半的風(fēng)箏，轉(zhuǎn)身又回到屋里，很快就專心地學(xué)習(xí)課文了。

"Well, what success, George?" asked Mr. Prentice, as the family gathered around the tea-table.

“喬治，學(xué)得好嗎？”一家人圍坐在茶桌旁時(shí)，普倫蒂斯先生問道。

"I learned the lesson, father!" replied the boy. "I can say every word of it."

“爸爸，我學(xué)完那篇課文了！”男孩回答道。“我能一字一句的復(fù)述。”

"Did you find it hard work?"

“你覺得它難嗎？”

"Not so very hard, after I had once made up my mind that I would learn it.

“我在下定決心要把它學(xué)會(huì)后，就覺得不是很難了。

Indeed I never stopped to think, as I usually do, but went right on until I had mastered every sentence."

事實(shí)上，我沒有像平時(shí)那樣停下來(lái)多想，而是一直繼續(xù)學(xué)，直到掌握了每個(gè)句子。”

"May you never forget this lesson, my son!" said Mr. Prentice.

“希望你永遠(yuǎn)記住這一課，兒子！”普倫蒂斯先生說(shuō)。

"You now possess the secret of success.

“你現(xiàn)在擁有了成功的秘訣。

It lies in never stopping to think about a task being difficult or tiresome, but in going steadily on, with a fixed determination to succeed."

它在于永遠(yuǎn)不停下來(lái)考慮任務(wù)有多困難或多無(wú)聊，而是堅(jiān)持不懈地繼續(xù)做，以堅(jiān)定的心態(tài)走向成功。”
