第三十一天:Thrift 節(jié)儉
There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.
I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.
沒(méi)有一個(gè)節(jié)儉的人遲早不成為一個(gè)富翁。為什么?因?yàn)樗麤Q不花像那種不必要的錢。漸漸他的錢就會(huì)聚積起來(lái)。十之八九,他一定會(huì)發(fā)財(cái)?shù)摹?BR> 我不喜歡那種亂花錢的人。他們不知道奢侈是一件壞事。它只能夠使他們暫時(shí)快樂(lè)而已??偠灾?,節(jié)儉使窮人變富,奢侈使富人變窮。
第三十二天:Perseverance 毅力/堅(jiān)忍
Needless to say, nothing but perseverance can lead a man to the way of success. In other words, a persevering man never does his work without succeeding in it. This is indeed unchangeable truth.
Our National Father, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, is the most ideal example. He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged. As a result, he won. The Republic of China was born.
不需說(shuō),只有毅力才能引導(dǎo)人邁向成功之途。換句話說(shuō),一個(gè)具有毅力的人做工作終是(never……without)會(huì)把它做成功的。這真是不易之定理也。
我們國(guó)父孫中山先生是一個(gè)最理想的例了.致力國(guó)民革命凡四十年。他遭遇到許多次的失敗,但是他決不灰心。結(jié)果,他贏了。中華民國(guó)誕生了。
第三十三天:My mother 我母親
My mother is a woman of the old school. She is too conservative to keep up with the times. However, she is good-natured and treats others incerely. For this reason, all her neighbors are only too glad (pleased) to make friends with her. They consider her a model woman.
She is a typical housewife. She keeps the (her) house neat and clean and looks after us with extreme care . She often says to us, "You cannot study too ard."
我母親是中國(guó)老式女子。她太保守?zé)o法跟上時(shí)代。然而,她性情善良,待人誠(chéng)懇?;诖朔N理由,所有她的鄰居都十分高興和她結(jié)交朋友。他們認(rèn)為她是模范女子。
她是一位標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的家庭主婦。她把家保持整潔。她小心翼翼地照顧我們。她時(shí)常對(duì)我們說(shuō):“你們?cè)接霉υ胶谩薄?BR> 第三十四天:Where there is a will, there is a way 有志者事竟成
The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.
It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.
成功的要訣不是金錢而是一個(gè)堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志(用not so mush…… as)。一個(gè)大人物是一個(gè)具有堅(jiān)強(qiáng)意志和不屈不撓精神的人。換句話說(shuō),如果一個(gè)人沒(méi)有堅(jiān)強(qiáng)意志去獲得最后勝利的人,他終其一生永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)成功。他只不過(guò)是(用no more than)一個(gè)失敗者。
很顯明的世界上并沒(méi)有難事。如果你下定決心去做它,你一定會(huì)達(dá)到目的。那是顯而易見(jiàn)的。
第三十五天:Duties of a student 學(xué)生的責(zé)任
Education is the very thing that we want to receive. Our parents send us to school so as to enable us to get (obtain) knowledge and achieve great things in the future. The following are the duties of a student (which) we should keep in mind.
In the first place, we should be filial to our parents and respectful to our teacher.
In the second place, we have to (must )study as hard as we can.
In the third place, we must not tell lies.
Last of all, we must not criticize others.
To sum up, the above-mentioned rules are the very duties of a student.
教育就是我們要接受的東西。我們父母送我們上學(xué)以便能使人們獲得知識(shí)與將來(lái)成大事。下面是我們應(yīng)該記住的學(xué)生的責(zé)任。
我們應(yīng)對(duì)父母要孝順,對(duì)老師要尊敬。
我們要盡可能的用功讀書(shū)。
我們切不可說(shuō)謊。
最后,我們不要批評(píng)別人。
總而言之,上面所說(shuō)的規(guī)則就是我們應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。
第三十六天:To be patient 要忍耐
When someone disagrees with you or offends you, don't lose your temper. Why? Because it is of no use to do so. You ought to (should) be patient and keep calm lest you should quarrel with him. You must know that patience is not cowardice, but a virtue. I hope that everybody practices it.
In addition, patience will also bring us success. When you meet with difficulties in your work, it is no use losing heart. You must keep on fighting until (till) the final victory belongs to you.
當(dāng)有人和你意見(jiàn)不同或開(kāi)罪你的時(shí)候,你切不可發(fā)脾氣。為什么?因?yàn)檫@樣做是無(wú)用的(用of no use)。你應(yīng)當(dāng)忍耐并且保持冷靜,唯恐和他爭(zhēng)吵。你必須知道忍耐不是弱而是一種美德。我希望人人都實(shí)行它。
另外,忍耐也會(huì)帶給我們成功。當(dāng)你在工作中遭遇到困難的時(shí)候,灰心是無(wú)用的。你必須繼續(xù)作戰(zhàn)直到最后勝利屬于你為止。
第三十七天:Sanitary ways in summer 夏天的衛(wèi)生方法
Not only is summer a hot season but also diseases are apt to happen. To us it is neither comfortable nor safe.
If we do not wish to get sick, we must pay attention to the following sanitary ways in summer.
Both fresh air and clean food are indispensable to us.
We must try our best to get (obtain) them.
We should take at least one bath every day.
Don't wear dirty clothes.
In conclusion, if we can carry out the above – mentioned rules, we will neither get (take/fall) sick nor suffer pain.
夏天不僅是個(gè)炎熱的季節(jié),而且疾病也容易發(fā)生。它對(duì)我們既不舒適也不安全。我們希望不生病,就得注意下面那些夏天衛(wèi)生的方法。
新鮮空氣和干凈的食物兩者對(duì)我們是不可缺少的。我們必須盡全力去獲得它們。
我們每天至少應(yīng)當(dāng)洗一個(gè)澡。
不要穿臟衣服。
總而言之,如果我們能實(shí)行上面所說(shuō)的那些規(guī)則,我們既不會(huì)生病也不會(huì)吃苦。
第三十八天:Work while you work, play while you play 工作時(shí)工作,游玩時(shí)游玩
Both work and play are necessary to us; the former gives us knowledge while the latter (gives) rest. An English proverb is well said: "Work while you work play while you play." It makes our life pleasant, efficient and successful.
Work is one thing and play is another. It is of course not good to work all day long. However, it is also not good to play all day long. While you work, you should work in earnest. Then while you play, you will feel more relaxed and pleasant. That goes without saying.
工作和游玩兩者對(duì)我們都是必須的,前者給我們知識(shí),后者給我們休息。英諺說(shuō)得好“工作時(shí)工作,游玩時(shí)游玩”。它使我們的生活愉快,有效率以及成功。
工作是一回事,游玩又是另一回事。整日工作自然不好。然而,整天游玩也是不好。當(dāng)你工作時(shí),你應(yīng)認(rèn)真工作。那末當(dāng)你游玩時(shí),你會(huì)覺(jué)得比較輕松愉快。那是不需說(shuō)的。
第三十九天:My favorite pastime 我心愛(ài)的消遣
It goes without saying that work without rest will do harm to health. In other words, we had better take sufficient recreation to relax after work.
There is no doubt that there are a number of amusements, such as playing ball games, collecting stamps, fishing, gardening, skating and so on.
As for (to) me, I take great delight in gardening. Whenever I am at leisure, I am accustomed to growing flowers. I regard them as my most agreeable companion.
不需說(shuō),工作而不休息會(huì)對(duì)健康有害的。換句話說(shuō),我們工作后,從事分的消遣來(lái)輕松一下。
無(wú)疑的,消遣的種類很多,諸如打球,集郵,釣魚(yú),園藝,溜冰等等。
就我而言,我大大喜歡園藝。每當(dāng)我有閑暇的時(shí)候,我習(xí)慣于種花。我把它們看作是我最稱心如意的伴侶。
第四十天:Factors of success 成功要素
I would rather suffer hardships than fail. In other words, to achieve success is my only desire. We all know that there are many factors of success. Now let me write down the most important ones in the following.
Diligence—Foolish as a person is, he can succeed in his work if he works hard. That does not admit of any doubt.
Perseverance—When you fail, don't lose heart. Keep on working until you accomplish your aim.
Honesty—If you tell lies or does not keep your words, no one will rely on you. I would rather be scolded than cheat (others).
我寧愿受苦難不愿失敗。換句話說(shuō),獲致成功是我的愿望。我們大家知道成功要素很多?,F(xiàn)在讓我們把它們最重要的寫(xiě)在下面。
勤勉――一個(gè)人雖然不大聰明,但是他地能做成他的工作,如果他苦干的話。那是不容置疑的。
毅力――當(dāng)你失敗的時(shí)候,不要灰心。要繼續(xù)工作,直到你達(dá)到目的為止。
誠(chéng)實(shí)――如果你說(shuō)謊或不守信,沒(méi)有人會(huì)信賴你。我寧愿挨罵不愿欺騙人。
第四十一天:My aim 我的志向
Whatever a man's status is (may be), he must have an aim. If not, he can hardly stand on his own two feet in the world. That stands to reason.
However important fame and wealth may be, we must not let them become our object in life. We should aim at doing something useful to the society.
If my aim can come true, I hope (wish) to be a teacher. However, teaching is by no means an easy thing. I must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties (as a teacher).
不論人是什么身份,他必須有一個(gè)志向。如果沒(méi)有的話,他很難立足于世上。那是顯而易見(jiàn)的。
不論名利如何重要,我們切不可讓它們成為我們生活之目標(biāo)。我們應(yīng)當(dāng)志在做一些對(duì)社會(huì)有益的事情。
如果我的志向能實(shí)現(xiàn)的話,我就希望成為一個(gè)老師。然而,教書(shū)并不是一容易的事情。我必須專心學(xué)業(yè)以便能應(yīng)因我的職責(zé)。
第四十二天:Our national father 我的國(guó)父
There is no doubt that Dr. Sun Yat-Sen is the greatest man that I ever known in my whole life. He set up the Republic of China, so we call him our National Father.
He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. His aim was to liberate China from the hands of the Manchu Dynasty. He had not met with result, but he was not discouraged at all. As a result, he accomplished his end in the long run.
To sum up, his strong will and indomitable spirit are worth our worship and imitation (are worth our worshiping and imitating).
無(wú)疑的,中山先生是我一生知道的的人物。他建立中民國(guó),所以我他為我的國(guó)父。
他致力革命凡四十年。他的目的是清朝手里解放中國(guó)。他曾遭遇屢次的失敗,但他卻一點(diǎn)也不灰心。那是不需說(shuō)的。結(jié)果,他終于達(dá)到目的。
總而言之,他堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志和不屈不撓的精神(是)值得我們的崇拜和仿效。
There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.
