英语名篇诵读 世界属于你

Yours Is the Earth

世界属于你

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 allowance¹ 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

Twisted by knaves² to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn out 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 nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them:“Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue³,

Or walk with Kings — nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes⁴ 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's 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!

如果所有人都失去理智责骂你，

你仍能头脑清醒；

如果所有人都怀疑你，

你仍能坚信自己，体谅别人的怀疑；

如果你等待着又不厌倦，

被人骗而不骗人，

被人忌恨而不抱恨，

不过于张扬，也不巧言炫耀自己；

追梦但不被梦所主宰；

思考但知道只是思考达不到目的；

把胜利和失败当成骗子；

能忍受自己讲过的事实，

被恶棍扭曲蒙骗傻子；

眼看自己毕生追求的东西被毁掉，

能俯下身用破烂的工具把它修补；

所有的成就与财富一夜之间丢失殆尽，

一切从头再开始，决不抱怨自己的损失；

当心力不济、身体官能早已衰退，

仍能坚持不弃，

心中虽空荡无一物，

只有意志告诉你要“坚持下去！”

与众人交谈，不失风度，

伴随王者，也善待平民；

敌友都不能加害你；

顾念天下苍生，又不过度劳神；

花60秒时间做短跑，

去填满那难熬的一分钟——

如果你能做到这些，

你就能拥有一个世界，

这个世界的一切都会是你的，

而且——更重要的是——我的孩子，

你会成为一个顶天立地的人！
