| english learning centre If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about,don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twiseted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothin in you
Except the Will which says to them:"Hold on!";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings -nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty second' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
·如果在眾人六神無主的之時，
你能鎮定自若而不是人云亦云；
如果在被眾人猜忌懷疑之日，
你能自信如常而不去妄加辯論；
如果你能夠等待，卻不因此而厭煩，
或者被人欺騙，卻不以血還血，
或者被人所恨，卻不以牙還牙，
同時，依然不慍不火，談吐不凡。
如果你有夢想，又能不迷失自我；
如果你有神思，又不致走火入魔；
如果在成功中能不忘形于色，
而在災難之后也勇于咀嚼苦果；
如果聽到自己說出的奧妙，被無賴
歪曲成面目全非的魔術而不生怨艾；
如果看到自己追求的美好，受天災
破滅為一攤零碎的瓦礫，也不說放棄；
如果你辛苦勞作，已是功成名就，
為了新的目標你依然冒險一搏，哪怕功名成烏有；
即使慘遭失敗，也仍要從頭開始，
而絲毫不去計較個人得失；
如果你的整個身心已經灰飛煙滅，
而你驅使其留下的德行能流芳百世；
那么堅持到底吧——即使你的內心已空無一物，
只能聽到意志的呼喚：“堅持！”
如果你跟村夫交談而不離謙恭之態，
和王侯散步而不露諂媚之顏；
如果你的敵手和摯友都無法傷害你，
如果所有人都指望你，卻無人全心全意；
如果你肯花六十秒進行短程跑，
去填滿生命中無情的每一分鐘，
那么你既可以擁有整個世界和其萬物，
更重要的是，你就是個真正的男子漢了，我的孩子！ english oral
