命运起伏多古怪,

反转之间定成败

①Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
②Thoughts on a Tranquil Night
Before my bed a pool of light
O can it be frost on the ground?
Looking up, I find the moon bright;
Bowing, in homesickness I'm drowned.
③Refreshing and cool,
love is a sweet summer rain
that washes the world.

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.
不要放弃
当事情常常不如人意时,
当眼前的道路如登山一样步履维艰时,
当资金短缺而债台高筑时,
当笑意已到嘴边但不得不掩面叹息时,
当生活已被烦恼充斥,让你不堪重负时,
好好休息一下吧!但是,请不要放弃。

Don’t quit
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.
不要放弃
生活就是布满曲折与蜿蜒
正如每个人都会学到
虽然失败接二连三而至,
当你坚持下去,事情就会出现转机,
纵使脚步缓慢也不要放弃
再努力一次成功可能就会来到
Don’t quit
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell 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.
不要放弃
成功就就在失败的背面,
它是乌云中透出的一丝银光,
而且你根本无从得知你离目标到底有多近,
看似天涯可能却是比邻。
所以,奋斗下去即使当你遭到严重之极的打击,
正是事情不如意时你更不能放弃。
