英語美文朗讀 第519期 Live like a bamboo

They said do what most do. They said don't take risks. They said most fail. They said, play it safe. I said, no. Then they asked how I do what most don't and have what most will never have. I didn't get this far by doing what most do. I didn't get this far by taking advice from people who can't sort out their own life.

 

人們都說，大多數(shù)人做什么，你就做什么。人們說，不要冒險。人們說，大多數(shù)人都會失敗。人們說，做事要穩(wěn)妥。我說，不。我做的事情，是大多數(shù)人不敢做的，我得到的成果，是大多數(shù)人得不到的。因此，人們問我，你是如何做到的？要是我隨大流，做大多數(shù)人做的事，那我就不會擁有今天的成就。有些人，他們連自己都沒活明白，要是我聽了他們的意見，我就走不到今天。

 

You'll never get far in life doing what the majority do. If you want what the minority have, model what the minority do, and do it better. Do it your way. Great things come to those who give great effort. Miracles come to those who believe in miracles. The impossible can only be achieved by those who believe anything is possible. Push yourself to those heights. Think bigger. Believe bigger. Dream bigger. And work harder.

在人生中，如果你做大多數(shù)人做的事，那么你就不會走得很遠。有些東西，只有少數(shù)人才能擁有，而如果你也想擁有這些，那你就要向這一小部分人學習，去做他們做的事，而且要比他們做得更好，以你自己的方式去做事。那些付出巨大努力的人，也會收獲巨大的成就。那些相信奇跡的人，也會收獲奇跡。只有那些相信一切皆有可能的人，才能獲得別人認為不可能實現(xiàn)的成就。督促自己，向他們看齊。大膽地思考，大膽地相信，大膽地做夢，努力地奮斗。

 

I didn't get this far without belief! Belief in me. Belief in the process. Belief in hard work. Belief in a higher power. I didn't get this far without hunger! I was born hungry! Hungry to go beyond anything I had imagined! Hungry to achieve and grow! Hungry to set an example! An example of zero limits! I didn't get this far without hard time, and the mental strength that comes from surviving those hard times, from growing through storms, like a warrior, a relentless unbreakable warrior!

沒有信念，我就走不到今天！我相信自己的價值，我相信過程的價值，我相信努力的價值，我相信力量的價值。沒有渴望，我就走不到今天！我生來就充滿渴望，渴望突破我想象的極限，渴望獲得成就，渴望有所成長，渴望成為榜樣，所向披靡的榜樣！在艱難時期，在命運的風雨中，我練就了堅毅的精神，像一位勇士，一位不屈不撓的、堅不可摧的勇士！

 

You can't kill me. There's always a place deep inside that refuses to die. A part that will not give up. A heart that will never know defeat. I've been beaten down. I've been at a breaking point. But I always come back! I'm not your average tree. I'm bamboo! You can't kill me!

你無法將我打倒！在我內(nèi)心深處，一直有一股力量，它讓我堅強地活著，它永不言棄。沒有什么能戰(zhàn)勝我的內(nèi)心。我曾被打敗過，我曾崩潰過，但我總能堅強地站起來！我不是一棵普通的樹，我是堅韌的竹子！你無法將我打倒！
