如果-励志诗歌中英版
如果
[英]拉迪亚德·吉卜林 著
如果所有的人失去理智，咒骂你，
而你仍头脑清醒；
如果所有的人怀疑你，
而你仍坚信自己，让所有的怀疑动摇；
如果你要等待，不因此而厌烦，
为人所骗，不因此而骗人，
为人所恨，不因此抱恨，
不妄自尊大，不自以为是；
如果你是个追梦人——不被梦主宰；
如果你遇到骄傲和挫折
把两者当骗子看待；
如果你能忍受，你曾讲过的事实
被恶棍扭曲，用于蒙骗*；
你用毕生守护的东西被毁坏，
然后俯身，用你疲惫的劳作把它修补；
如果在你赢得无数桂冠之后，
突遇巅峰下跌之险，
不抱怨你的失败，
坚信失败过后，东山再起；
如果你能迫使自己，
在别人走后，长久地坚守阵地，
除了意志告诉你“坚持”！
在你心中已空无一物；
如果你与人交谈，保持风度，
与伴行走，保持距离；
如果仇敌和好友都不伤害你；
如果所有的人都拥护你，却并非全心全意；
如果你花六十秒进行短程跑，
填满那不可饶恕的一分钟——
你就可以拥有一个世界，
一个一切都属于你的.世界，
孩子，更重要的是：你是一个顶天立地的人
If------
By Joseph Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
I f you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give away to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think--- and not make thoughts your aim;
I f you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools;
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;
I f 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!”
If you can talk with crows and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings---nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run---
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And---which is more---you’ll be a Man, my son!
