一代巨星邁克杰克遜的墓志銘——IF

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

如果周?chē)娜撕翢o(wú)理性地向你發(fā)難，你仍能鎮(zhèn)定自若保持冷靜;

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

如果眾人對(duì)你心存猜忌，你仍能自信如常并認(rèn)為他們的猜忌情有可原;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

如果你肯耐心等待不急不躁，

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

或遭人誹謗卻不以牙還牙，

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

或遭人憎恨卻不以惡報(bào)惡;

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

既不裝腔作勢(shì)，亦不氣盛趾高;

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

如果你有夢(mèng)想，而又不為夢(mèng)主宰;

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

如果你有神思，而又不走火入魔;

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

如果你坦然面對(duì)勝利和災(zāi)難，對(duì)虛渺的勝負(fù)榮辱胸懷曠蕩;

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

如果你能忍受有這樣的無(wú)賴(lài)，歪曲你的口吐真言蒙騙笨漢，

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

或看著心血鑄就的事業(yè)崩潰，仍能忍辱負(fù)重腳踏實(shí)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,

如果你敢把取得的一切勝利，為了更崇高的目標(biāo)孤注一擲，

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

面臨失去，決心從頭再來(lái)而絕口不提自己的損失;

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

如果人們?cè)缫央x你而去，你仍能堅(jiān)守陣地奮力前驅(qū)，

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

身上已一無(wú)所有，唯存意志在高喊“頂住”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

如果你跟平民交談而不變謙虛之態(tài),

Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;

亦或與王侯散步而不露諂媚之顏;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

如果敵友都無(wú)法對(duì)你造成傷害;

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

如果眾人對(duì)你信賴(lài)有加卻不過(guò)分依賴(lài);

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

如果你能惜時(shí)如金利用每一分鐘不可追回的光陰;

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

那么，你的修為就會(huì)如天地般博大，并擁有了屬于自己的世界，

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

更重要的是：孩子，你成為了真正頂天立地之人!
