A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

失败

Defeat

We know that if gold, if fraud, if force can defeat us, they will all be used. And we have resolved that they shall not defeat us. We shall arm. We shall meet fraud and falsehood with defiance, and force with force, if need be.

我们知道,如果黄金,如果欺诈,如果武力可以打败我们,它们都会被使用。我们已经下定决心,他们不会打败我们。我们的手臂。我们将以蔑视对付欺诈和谎言,必要时将以武力对付武力。

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

勇敢地去做伟大的事情,去赢得光荣的胜利,即使会受到失败的挫折……而不是与那些既不享受也不太受苦的可怜的人为伍,因为他们生活在一个既不知道胜利也不知道失败的灰暗的黎明里。

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.

当然,胜利是伟大的,但如果你真的想在生活中有所作为,秘诀就是学会如何失败。没有人能一直保持不败。如果你能从惨败中振作起来,并继续取得胜利,总有一天你会成为冠军。

When you're doing a deal with someone in the southern Sahara, it's a very different way of doing business than in London. You can't sign them in the usual way because they'd end up getting ripped off, which would defeat the object of setting up a label like this.

当你和撒哈拉南部的人做生意时,做生意的方式和在伦敦完全不同。你不能以通常的方式给他们签名,因为他们最终会被敲竹杠,这就违背了设立这样一个标签的初衷。

I pondered all these things, and how men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name.

我思考这些事情,男人如何战斗,输掉战斗,和他们为之战斗的东西尽管失败,但当谈到并不能证明他们是什么意思,和其他男人必须争取他们的意思在另一个名字。

关于学习、善意与成长,读一句,再想一想。

We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.

我们正处在人类历史的开端。我们努力解决问题并不是没有道理的。但在未来还有数万年。我们的责任是尽我们所能,学习我们所能,改进解决方案,并把它们传递下去。
