大学英语四六级经典阅读：If 假如

 

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming at on you. If you can trust yourself when all man doubt you but make allowance for their doubting to. If you can can wait not be tired by waiting or being right about don't deal a less or being hated don't give way to hating.and yet don't look too good more talk to wise. 

 

假如所有人都失去理智。咒骂你，你仍能保持头脑清醒。假如所有人都怀疑你，你仍能坚信自己，让所有的怀疑动摇。假如让你一直等待，不要因此厌烦；为人所骗。不要因此骗人，为人所恨，不要因此抱恨，不要太乐观，不要自以为是。 

 

If you can dream and not make dream your master. If you can think and not make thought on your aim. If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those too imposters just the same. If you can bear to hear the truth you spoken twisted by naves to make a trap for faith or watch things you give your life to broken and still to build them up to warn out tools. 

 

假如你是个追梦人，不要被梦主宰。假如你是个爱思考的人，不要以思想者自居。下附口你与成功和失败不期而遇，把二者皆视为骗子。假如你能容忍你曾讲过的事实被恶棍扭曲。用于愚弄他人。或者，目睹你视为生命的东西遭受损坏，俯下身去，用破旧的工具将它修补。 

 

If you can make hip of all you winnings and risk on one turn of page and toss and lose and start again at your beginings and never read the word about your loss. 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." 

 

假如在你赢得无数桂冠之后，然后孤注一掷再搏一次，失败过后，东山再起，不要抱怨你的失败。假如你能迫使自己，在别人走后，长久坚守阵地，在你心中已空荡荡无一物，只有意志告诉你："坚持!" 

 

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue or work kins nor lose common touch if neither faith nor loving friends can hurt you. If all man account with you, but none too much. If you can feel the unforgiving minutes with sixty-seconds words of distance run, yours is the earth and everything that in it, and which is more, you'll be a man. my son. 

 

假如你与人交谈，能保持风度，伴王同行二能保持距离。假如仇敌和好友都不伤害你。假如所有人都指望你，却期望不高。假如你分秒必争，把握当下。你就可以拥有一个世界，更重要的是，你是个顶天立地的人。
