​B5L1

By 梁書云 梁書云

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

如果舉世倉皇失措、世人皆責難於你

而你卻仍能鎮定自若；

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

倘若世人對你所有質疑，你仍能相信自己並且體諒他們對你的質疑；

​第一詩節（1st stanza）

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

若你肯等待，無所急躁，

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

或遭詆毀，卻不還擊，

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

或遭厭惡，而不心懷怨忿，

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

別耀武揚威、也別賣弄聰明：

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

若你懷持夢想，卻不為夢想所主宰；

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

若你能思考，而非僅止於空想；

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

若你面臨大勝或遭逢慘敗

卻能對兩種虛妄一視同仁；

​第二詩節（2nd stanza）

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

若你能忍受你所陳述的事實

遭人扭曲後作為陷害愚人的算計，

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

若目睹此生致力之事壞毀而去，

卻仍能屈身以老舊的工具重新修復：

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;

若你將贏得且積累而來的

孤注一擲後，

卻失利，必須從頭開始

但能對自己的失敗三緘其口；

​第三詩節（3rd stanza）

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!’

若你能強迫自己的心志與膽量

即便在早已窮盡時卻仍能為你差遣，

在你一無所剩、唯剩意志之時

支持著你，吩咐它們：「堅持下去！」

13. Always push forward with your eyes on your goals.

​Shelly walked out of the cafe with her hands in her pockets.
We picnicked on the meadow, with our dogs running.
He came in with his his homework done.

14. You should do whatever you can to start again.

= You should do anything that you can to start again

Whoever wants to sleep in class will be punished by the teacher.
=Anyone that wants to sleep in class will be punished by the teacher.

There are many cars at my house. You can choose whichever you like .
=There are many cars at my house. You can choose either one of them that you like.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch;

若你能與群眾為伍仍保有德行，

若與權貴同行卻仍平易近人；

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

若朋友仇敵皆不能動你分毫；

If all men count with you, but none too much;

若你能廣受仰仗卻不被過度依賴；

​第四詩節（4th stanza）

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

時間無情，若你能分分秒秒盡心盡力，

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

世上萬事萬物都將屬於你，

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

而更重要的是，我兒，你將成為人上之人！
