Don’t quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
请别放弃
当事情常常不如人意时,
当你跋涉前行的道路似乎总是上坡路时,
当资金短缺而债台高筑时,
当你想笑却不得不叹息时,
当烦恼让你不堪重负时,
有必要的话,休息一下,但不要放弃。
After you watch
Edgar Albert Guest
American poet, novelist literary critic in the 19th century
Life is queer with its twists and turns.
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
You may sueceed with another blow.
命运起伏多古怪,
尽管有时会知道,
只要坚持就胜利,
有人却转身离去,
脚步放慢没关系,
但请千万别放弃,
还差一击就胜利 。
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
反转之间定成败
疑云后面是曙光
距离成功多近
你却从来不自知
也许只在咫尺,也许遥不可及;
即使遭到最重击,也要坚持不放弃
情况变得再糟糕
也要挺住不放弃
1.What is the theme of the poem
The poem is all about perseverance,determination and willpower.
Never give up especially when things go wrong.
It reminds us that there are elements of success within every failure, so we mustn’t quit whatever difficulties we may encounter in life.
Task 1 Look,think and say
Don’t quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
(Excerpts from “Don’t quit” by Edgar Albert Guest)

2. What have you learnt from the poem
When we are faced with difficulties, failures, disabilities,...

Stick to it, and you will succeed.
