第二課 勞動之樂

Wise men of ancient times and successful men oftoday have told us that labor is sweet.

古時的賢達和今天的成功者都告訴我們勞動是甜美的。

Its reward is not material gain but what one becomesby it.

勞動的報酬不是物質(zhì)的獲得而是人們藉由勞動所達到的成就。

Work does much more for us than just giving us aliving;

工作所給予我們的豈止是混口飯吃;

it gives us our life and the reason for living.

它賦予我們生命以及活下去的理由。

The real joys of life come from doing something and doing it well.

人生真正的樂趣就在于能把所做的事做好。

All of us hope for success, but it is illusive and hard to keep.

我們都希望成功，但成功卻是虛幻且難以維持的。

It nearly always slips away from one like sand through the fingers, like water through a leakypail,

除非你能日日、夜夜、年復(fù)一年地努力緊守成功，

unless it is held tight by hard work, day by day，night by night, year in year out.

否則它幾乎總會從你身邊溜走，就如沙粒從指間滑落，或像水從漏桶流失一樣。

Everyone who fears failure should work harder and harder with a faithful heart as long as helasts.

凡是害怕失敗的人應(yīng)該在有生之年，一心一意地更加努力奮發(fā)才是。
