【双语美文】一首《如果》，献给年轻的你

芸芸众生，谁不想成功，

谁不想令世人瞩目，

诗人在诗中展示了成功背后，

包含多少辛酸，经历多少磨难，

忍受多少痛楚。

如果我们能正视成功前的种种困难，

勇于接受挑战；

失败了，何畏惧，重头再来。

那样，我们便成为了一个顶天立地之人。

If — Rudyard Kipling

如果 —— 拉迪亚德·吉卜林

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

如若周遭的人毫无理性地为难你，但你却仍能镇定与冷静；

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;

如若（周遭的）众人对你心存猜忌，你像往常一样自信并认为他们的猜忌可以原谅；

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

如若你能够做到耐心等待并且不急也不躁，

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

或遭人嫉恨却不以恶来报恶；

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

既不会装腔作势，亦不会盛气凌人；

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

如若你有梦，却又不被梦主宰；

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

如若你有思考，却又不会走火入魔；

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;

如若你坦然接收与面对胜利和灾难，对胜负与荣辱胸怀旷荡；

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

如若你能忍受那些无赖，那些歪曲你的口吐真言蒙骗的笨汉，

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

或看着心血铸就的事业崩溃，仍能忍辱负重脚踏实地重新攀登；

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

如若你敢把取得的一切胜利，为了更崇高的目标孤注一掷，

And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;

面临失去，决心重头来过而绝口不提自己的损失；

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone,

如若人们早已离开了你，你却仍能够坚守着阵地而奋力前驱，

And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them:"Hold on";

身上几近一无所有，唯有意志在高喊着：“顶住”；

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

如若你与平民交谈而依然保持着谦虚，

Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;

又或与王侯之辈散步而不露谄媚的颜色；

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

如若无论敌人或者朋友都无法对你造成任何伤害；

If all men count with you, but none too much;

如若大家对你十分信赖却又不过分依赖你；

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -

如若你能珍惜时间，利用每一分钟不可追回的光阴；

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

那么，你的修为就会如天地般博大，并拥有了属于自己的世界，

And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

更重要的是：孩子，你成为了真正顶天立地之人！
