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.
Edgar Albert Guest
请别放弃
情势时而不顺利,此乃意中之事,
举步维艰向上时,
口袋空空,债台高筑时,
想要微笑却得叹息时,
忧虑重重压住时,
必要之时请休息,
但你别放弃.
埃德加·阿尔伯特·盖斯特
(Edgar Albert Guest, 1881 – 1959)是20世纪上半叶一位高产的美国诗人,以“人民诗人”著称。
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)
命运起伏多古怪,
尽管有时会知道,
(意指有时我们也没了解到命运多变性质)
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
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
