  The Man and the Opportunity

  人与机遇

  The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. Opportunities! Every life is full of them.

学习啦在线学习网   缺乏机遇总是意志薄弱、优柔寡断者的借口。机遇!每个人的生命中都充满着机遇!

  Every lesson in school or college is an opportunity. Every examination is a chance in life. Every business transaction is an opportunity-an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.Every proof of confidence in you is a great opportunity. Every responsibility thrust upon your strength and your honor is priceless. Existence is the privilege of effort, and when that privilege is met like a man, opportunities to succeed along the line of your aptitude will come faster than you can use them.

  Young men and women, why do you stand here all the day idle? Was the land all occupied before you were born? Has the earth ceased to yield its increase?Are the seats all taken? The positions all filled? The chances all gone? Are the resources of your country fully developed? Are the secrets of nature all mastered?Is there no way in which you can

Make it, make it as Napoleon made his in a hundred "impossible" situations.Make it, as all leaders of men, in war and in peace, have made their chances of success.Make it, as every man must, who would accomplish anything worth the effort. Golden opportunities are nothing to laziness, but industry makes the commonest chances golden.

  年轻的小伙子和姑娘们啊,为什么整日滞足不前,虚度光阴?难道在你们出生之前,每一寸土地都已为他人所占?难道地球已不再繁衍生息?难道所有座位都已占满?难道所有职位都有人填补?难道所有机会都一去不返?难道你们国家的资源都已开发殆尽?难道大自然的奥秘都已完全通晓?难道你们无法抓住转瞬即逝的时机来提高自我、造福他人?切莫等待机遇。创造机遇,正如拿破仑在无数次“绝”境中创造机遇那样。创造机遇,正如战争及和平年代所有领袖创造成功机遇那样。创造机遇,任何付出努力都想有所收获的人都必领这么做。对懒汉来说,即使天赐良机,也会化为乌有,而勤奋却能让最微小的机遇变得灿烂辉煌!

学习啦在线学习网   The Pleasures of Ignorance

  无知的快乐

学习啦在线学习网   It is impossible to take a walk in the country with an average townsman—especially, perhaps, in April or May-without being amazed at the vast continent of his ignorance. It is impossible to take a walk in the country oneself without being amazed at the vast continent of one's own ignorance. Thousands of men and women live and die without knowing the difference between a beech and an elm, between the song of a thrush and the song of a blackbird. Probably in a modern city the man who can distinguish between a thrush's and a blackbird's song is the exception. It is not that we have not seen the birds. It is simply that we have not noticed them. We have been surrounded by birds all our lives, yet so feeble is our observation that many of us could not tell whether or not the chaffinch sings, or the colour of the cuckoo.

  和一个普通的城里人在乡村漫步—特别是,可能在四五月份——你不可能不对他无知的领域之广而感到惊讶。一个人去乡间散步,你不可能不对自己无知的领域之广而感到惊讶。成千上万的男男女女活着然后死去,一辈子也不知道山毛榉和榆树之间有什么区别,不知道画眉和黑鹂的啼鸣有什么不同。现代都市中能辨别画眉和黑鹂叫声的人大概是极其罕见的。并非我们没有见过这两种鸟儿,仅仅是因为我们从不去注意它们。我们一生中都有鸟儿生活在我们周围,然而我们的观察力是如此微弱,以致我们中间许多人弄不清楚苍头燕雀是否全唱歌,说不出布谷鸟是什么颜色。

  This ignorance, however, is not altogether miserable. Out of it we get the constant pleasure of discovery. Every fact of nature comes to us each spring, if only we are sufficiently ignorant, with the dew still on it. If we have lived half a lifetime without having ever even seen a cuckoo, and know it only as a wandering voice, we are all the more delighted at the spectacle of its runaway flight as it hurries from wood to wood conscious of its crimes, and at the way in which it halts hawk-like in the wind, its long tail quivering, before it dares descend on a hill-side of fir-trees where avenging presences may lurk.

学习啦在线学习网   然而,这种无知并不完全是不幸的。从无知中,我们能源源不断地获取发现带来的喜悦。但愿我们真的一无听知,那么每到春天,各种自然现象就会带着清新的露珠呈现在我们眼前。如果我们已生活半生,甚至未曾见过一只布谷鸟,而仅仅把它当成一个四处飘荡的声音,那么.当我们亲眼目睹它因为自知自己的罪恶在林木间匆匆逃离穿梭,看到它如何如鹰般在风中骤然停止鸣叫,摆动着瑟瑟发抖的长尾翼,不敢在小山旁的冷杉上停歇,担心那里危机四伏时,我们一定会更加欣喜。

学习啦在线学习网   It would be absurd to pretend that the naturalist does not also find pleasure in observing the life of the birds, but his is a steady pleasure, almost a sober and plodding occupation, compared to the morning enthusiasm of the man who sees a cuckoo for the first time. And, as to that, the happiness even of the naturalist depends in some measure upon his ignorance, which still leaves him new worlds of this kind to conquer.He may have reached the very Z of knowledge in the books, but he still feels half ignorant until he has confirmed each bright particular with his eyes. Assuredly the men of science have no reason as yet to weep over their lost ignorance. There will always be a fortune of ignorance waiting for them under every fact they turn up.

学习啦在线学习网   如果假设博物学家在观察鸟类的生活时发现不到乐趣,那是荒谬可笑的。和清晨有人第一次看到布谷鸟的兴奋相比,博物学家的快乐是稳固的,他们的工作是严肃和漫长的。为此,甚至是博物学家的幸福在某种程度上也取决他的无知,无知给他留下这类新天地让他去征服。他的书本知识可能已经达到了顶峰,但是,在他亲眼证实每一个光辉的细节之前,他仍然感到自己是半无知的,无疑,科学家们迄今没有理由为他们错过的无知而哭泣。在他们发掘出的每一个事实下面总将会有一笔无知的财富在等待着他们。

  But your and my ignorance is not confined to cuckoos. It dabbles in all created things, from the sun and moon down to the names of the flowers, including nearly everything you and I have taken for granted. One of the greatest joys known to man is to take such a flight into ignorance in search of knowledge. The great pleasure of ignorance is, after all, the pleasure of asking questions. The man who has lost this pleasure or exchanged it for the pleasure of dogma, which is the pleasure of answering, is already beginning to stiffen. Do not forget that Socrates. was famed for wisdom not because he was omniscient but because he realised at the age of seventy that he still knew nothing. Once more I shall see the world as a garden through the eyes of a stranger, my breath taken away with surprise by the painted fields.
