Ifwereaboyagain假如再回到童年

IfIwereaboyagain,Iwouldpractiseperseverancemoreoften,andnevergiveupathingbecauseitwashardorinconvenient.Ifwewantlight,wemustconquerdarkness.Perseverancecansometimesequalgeniusinitsresults.“Thereareonlytwocreatures,”saysaproverb;“whocansurmountthepyramids-theeagleandthesnail.”

諺語說：“能登上金字塔的生物只有兩種——雄鷹與蝸牛?！奔偃缥覀冃枰饷?，我們就得制服黑暗。在產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果方面，毅力往往可以與天才相媲美。假如我再回到童年，我會更多地培育自己的毅力，決不由于事情困難或麻煩而放棄不干。

IfIwereaboyagain,Iwouldschoolmyselfintoahabitofattention.Iwouldletnothingebetweenmeandthesubjectinhand.Iwouldrememberthatagoodskaternevertriestoskateintwodirectionsatonce.Thehabitofattentionbeespartofourlife,ifwebeginearlyenough.

假如我再回到童年，我會培育自己用心致志的習慣;一旦手頭有事，決不讓任何東西使我分心。我會牢記：一位優(yōu)秀的溜冰手從不試圖同時滑向兩個不同的方向。假如及早養(yǎng)成用心致志的習慣，它就會成為我們生命的一個部分。

Ioftenheargrown-uppeoplesay,“Icouldnotfixmyattentiononthelectureorbook,althoughIwishedtodoso,”andthereasonis,thehabitwasnotformedinyouth.

我經(jīng)常聽到成年認說：“盡管我盼望集中留意力聽講課或讀書，但往往做不到?！逼淝樵妇驮谟谀贻p時沒有養(yǎng)成這種習慣。

IfIweretolivemylifeoveragain,Iwouldpaymoreattentiontothecultivationofthememory.Iwouldstrengthenthatfacultybyeverypossiblemeans,and,oneverypossibleoccasion.Ittakesalittlehardworkatfirsttorememberthingsaccurately;butmemorysoonhelpsitself,andgivesverylittletrouble.Itonlyneedsearlycultivationtobeeapower.

假如我能重新活過，我會更加留意培育自己的記憶力。我要實行一切可能的方法，在一切可能的場合,增加記憶力。要精確地記住一切事物，起初的確要作出一番小小的努力;但用不了多久，記憶力本身就會起作用，使記憶成為輕而易舉的事。只需及早培育，記憶自會成為一種才能。

IfIwereaboyagain,Iwouldcultivatecourage.Nothingissomildandgentleascourage,nothingsocruelandpitilessascowardice,saysawiseauthor.Wetoooftenborrowtrouble,andanticipatethatmayneverappear.Thefearofillexceedstheillwefear.Dangerswillariseinanycareer,butpresenceofmindwilloftenconquertheworstofthem.Bepreparedforanyfate,andthereisnoharmtobefeared.

假如我又回到了童年，就要培育士氣。世上沒有東西比士氣更溫文爾雅，也沒有東西比懦怯更殘酷無情。一位明智的作家曾說過我們經(jīng)常過多地自尋苦惱，杞人憂天。怕禍害比禍害本身更可怕,凡事都有危急，但鎮(zhèn)靜鎮(zhèn)靜往往能克服最嚴峻的危急。對一切禍福做好預備，那么就沒有什么災難可以可怕的了。

IfIwereaboyagain,Iwouldlookonthecheerfulside.Lifeisverymuchlikeamirror:ifyousmileuponit,itsmilesbackuponyou;butifyoufrownandlookdoubtfulonit,youwillgetasimilarlookinreturn.Innersunshinewarmsnotonlytheheartoftheowner,butofallthateincontactwithit.

假如我能再回到童年，我會凡事都看光明的一面。生活就像一面鏡子：你朝它微笑，它也會朝你微笑：但假如你朝它皺眉頭，它也會朝你皺眉頭;內(nèi)心的陽光不僅暖和了自己的心，同時也暖和了全部跟他接觸的人的心。

Whoshutsloveout,inturnshallbeshutfromlove.

“誰將愛拒之門外，誰就會被愛拒之門外?！?/p>
