雙語閱讀：生而爲贏

以下是本站小編整理的哲理類英語美文欣賞：生而爲贏， 希望對你有所感觸。

Each human being is born as something new, something that never existed before. Each is bornwith the capacity to win at life. Each person has a unique way of seeing, hearing, touching,tasting and thinking. Each has his or her own unique potentiAls—capabilities and can be a significant, thinking, aware, and creative being—a productive person, a winner.

人皆生而爲新，爲前所未有之所存在;人皆生而能贏。人皆有其特立獨行之方式去審視，聆聽，觸摸，品味及思考，因而都具備獨特潛質-能力和侷限。人皆能舉足輕重，思慮明達，洞察秋毫，富有創意，成就功業。

The word “winner” and “loser” have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, wedo not mean one who makes someone else lose. To us, a winner is one who respondsauthentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individualand as a member of a society.

“成者”與“敗者”含義頗多。談及成者我們並非指令他人失意之人。對我們而言，成者必爲人守信，值得信賴，有求必應，態度誠懇，或爲個人，或爲社會一員皆能以真誠迴應他人。

Winners do not dedicated their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be;rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance,maintaining pretence and manipulating others. They are aware that there is a difference betweenbeing loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between beingknowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.

成者行事並不拘泥於某種信條，即便是他們認爲應爲其奉獻一生的理念;而是本色行事，所以並不把精力用來表演，保持僞裝或操控他人。他們明瞭愛與裝家，愚蠢與裝傻，博學與賣弄之間迥然有別。成者無須藏於面具之後。

Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use their own knowledge. They canseparate facts from opinions and don’t pretend to have all the answers. They listen to others,evaluate what they say, but come to their own conclusions. Although winners can admire andrespect other people, they are not totally defined, demolished, bound, or awed by them.

成者敢於利用所學，獨立思考，區分事實與觀點，且並不佯裝通曉所有答案。他們傾聽，權衡他人意見，但能得出自己的結論。儘管他們尊重，敬佩他們，但並不爲他們所侷限，所推翻，所束縛，也不對他人敬若神靈。

Winners do not play “helpless”, nor do they play the blaming game. Instead, they assumeresponsibility for their own lives. They don’t give others a false authority over them. Winnersare their own bosses and know it.

成者既不佯裝“無助”，亦不抱怨他人。相反，他們對人生總是獨擔責任，也不以權威姿態凌駕他人之上。他們主宰自己，而且能意識到這點。

A winner’s timing is right. Winners respond appropriately to the situation. Their responses arerelated to the message sent and preserve the significance, worth, well-being, and dignity ofthe people involved. Winners know that for everything there is a season and for every activity atime.

成者善於審時度勢，隨機應變。他們對所接受的信息做出迴應，維護當事人的利益，康樂和尊嚴。成者深知成一事要看好時節，行一事要把握時機。

Although winners can freely enjoy themselves, they can also postpone enjoyment, candiscipline themselves in the present to enhance their enjoyment in the future. Winners arenot afraid to go after what he wants, but they do so in proper ways. Winners do not get theirsecurity by controlling others. They do not set themselves up to lose.

儘管成者可以自由享樂，但他更知如何推遲享樂，適時自律，以期將來樂趣更盛。成者並不忌憚追求所想，但取之有道，也並不靠控制他們而獲取安然之感。他們總是使自己立於不敗。

A winner cares about the world and its peoples. A winner is not isolated from the generalproblems of society, but is concerned, compassionate, and committed to improving thequality of life. Even in the face of national and international adversity, a winner’s self-image isnot one of a powerless individual. A winner works to make the world a better place.

成者心憂天下，並不孤立塵世弊病之外，而是置身事內，滿腔熱情，致力於改善民生。即使面對民族，國家之危亡，成者亦非無力迴天之個體。他總是努力令世界更好。
