He was not a good student, and had he not been

25、 from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister.

26、 He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide. 1 英國(guó)的偉大首相溫斯頓·丘吉爾爵士，小時(shí)候在哈羅公學(xué)上學(xué)。 當(dāng)時(shí)他可不是個(gè)好學(xué)生， 要不是出身名門，他可

27、能早就因?yàn)檫`反紀(jì)律被開除了。 謝天謝地，他總算從哈羅畢業(yè)了， 在那里犯下的錯(cuò)誤并沒(méi)影響到他上大學(xué)。 后來(lái)，他憑著軍旅生涯中的杰出表現(xiàn)當(dāng)選為英國(guó) 首相。 他的才思、智慧、公民責(zé)任感以及在二戰(zhàn)痛苦而黑暗的時(shí)期拒絕投降的無(wú)畏勇氣， 為他贏得了美名。 他非凡的決心，不僅激勵(lì)了整個(gè)民族，還鼓舞了全世界。 1 He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules.

28、 (Para. 1) Meaning: Churchill was not a good student. If he had not been from a famous family, he probably would have been dismissed from the school because of breaking the rules. Sentence structure note: “Had he not been ” 為倒裝的虛擬條件句，相當(dāng)于“If he had not been ”。 在書面語(yǔ)中， 條件從句可以不用連詞 if, 而將謂語(yǔ)中的 had, were 或

29、 should 等移至主語(yǔ)之前，構(gòu)成倒裝。 e.g. Had it not been for his help, I would never have completed the project. 要不是他幫忙，我完不成這個(gè)項(xiàng) 目。 Were you in my position, you would do the same. 你要是處于我這個(gè)位置，你也會(huì)這樣做的。 Should you be passing, do come and see us. 如果你經(jīng)過(guò)這里，一定要來(lái)看我們。 2 Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors th

30、ere did not preclude him from going on to the university. (Para. 1) Meaning: Fortunately, he graduated from Harrow and his mistakes there did not keep him from going to college. 3 He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. (Para. 1) Meaning: Finally he joine

31、d the army, and then his outstanding army career made it possible for him to be elected prime minister. 4 He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. (Para. 1) Meaning: He became well-known because

32、 of his intelligence, wisdom, responsibility of a citizen, and remarkable courage in his refusal to give up during the most painful days of the Second World War. 5 His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide. (Para. 1) Meaning: He was determined to wi

33、n the war, which inspired the British people and the world as well. 2 Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days

34、 to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, ne

35、ver!" 2 在他首相任期即將結(jié)束時(shí)，他應(yīng)邀前往母校哈羅公學(xué)，為滿懷報(bào)國(guó)之志的同學(xué)們作演講。 校長(zhǎng)說(shuō)：“年輕的先生們，當(dāng)代最偉大的演說(shuō)家過(guò)幾天就會(huì)來(lái)為你們演講，他提出的任何中 肯的建議，你們都要聽(tīng)從?！?那個(gè)激動(dòng)人心的日子終于到了。 溫斯頓爵士站了起來(lái)他 只有 5 英尺 5 英寸高，體重卻有 107 公斤。他作了言簡(jiǎn)意賅的講話：“年輕人，要永不放棄。 永不放棄！永不放棄！永不，永不，永不，永不！” 6 Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic you

36、ng boys at his old school, Harrow. (Para. 2) Meaning: As his period as prime minister was coming to an end, he was invited to give a speech to the students who loved their country, at his old school, Harrow School. 3 Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas none of these can in

37、hibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called "s

38、low to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unab

39、le to learn. Yet both boys' parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve mag

40、nificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today. 3 個(gè)人經(jīng)歷、教育機(jī)會(huì)、個(gè)人困境，這些都不能阻擋一個(gè)全力以赴追求成功的、有著堅(jiān)強(qiáng)意 志的人。 任務(wù)再苦，準(zhǔn)備再長(zhǎng)，難度再大，都不能讓他放棄自己的追求。 就以本時(shí)代最有 學(xué)問(wèn)的兩位科學(xué)家阿爾伯特·愛(ài)因斯坦和托馬斯·愛(ài)迪生為例，他們都曾面臨巨大的障 礙和極端的批評(píng)，都曾被說(shuō)成“不開竅”，被老師當(dāng)成笨蛋而放棄。 托馬斯·愛(ài)迪生還曾逃 學(xué)，因?yàn)槔蠋熛铀麊?wèn)的問(wèn)題太多而經(jīng)常鞭打他。 愛(ài)因斯坦一直到將近 9 歲才能流利地說(shuō)話， 學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)太差，有些人認(rèn)為他都已經(jīng)學(xué)不

41、好了。 然而，這兩個(gè)男孩的父母都相信他們。 他 們堅(jiān)持不懈地每天和兒子一起努力，孩子們也了解到，要想成功，就絕不要怕付出長(zhǎng)期而艱 辛的努力。 最終，愛(ài)因斯坦和愛(ài)迪生都擺脫了童年的困擾，進(jìn)而作出了造福當(dāng)今全世界的 偉大發(fā)現(xiàn)。 7 Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. (Para. 3) Meaning: Personal experience, educational backgro

42、und or individual difficult situations nothing can prevent a person with a strong will from succeeding. 8 No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. (Para. 3) Meaning beyond words: A person with a strong will is not fearful of any difficult task and is willing to put

43、 in lots of time and hard effort to get prepared for his goal. Sentence structure note: “No too ” 是一種強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。例如： No job is too small. 沒(méi)有任何一種工作是微不足道的。 9 Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. (Para. 3) Meaning: The two most learned scienti

44、sts of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison, are typical examples.10 Both were called "slow to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. (Para. 3) Meaning: Both of them were labeled as boys with learning difficulties and described as stupid by their teachers. 11 They worked

45、 intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. (Para. 3) Meaning: They spent lots of time and energy helping their sons each day, and the boys learned that without long hours of hard work success will be impossible.

46、12 In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today. (Para. 3) Meaning: At last, both Einstein and Edison conquered the prejudice against them in their childhood and made impressive achievemen

47、ts from which the whole world benefits today. 4 Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships, failures and repeated misfortunes in his lifetime. His background was certainly not glamorous. He was raised in a very poor family with only one year of formal educat

48、ion. He failed in business twice, suffered a nervous breakdown when his first love died suddenly and lost eight political elections. Later in life, he suffered profound grief over the tragic death of three of his four children. Yet his strong will was the spur that pushed him forward, strengthening

49、his optimism, dedication and determination. It intensified and focused his efforts and enabled him to triumph over the overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in his life. A hundred years later, people from around the world commend Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president of all ti

50、me. 4 再如亞伯拉罕·林肯這個(gè)英雄的典范，他一生面臨了無(wú)數(shù)艱辛、失敗和接二連三的不幸。 他的出身和經(jīng)歷真是一點(diǎn)也算不上光鮮。 他在一個(gè)非常貧困的家庭長(zhǎng)大，只受過(guò)一年正規(guī) 教育。 經(jīng)商兩度失敗，初戀愛(ài)人的突然離世也使他精神崩潰，還在八次政治選舉中落馬。 此后，他的四個(gè)孩子有三個(gè)不幸去世，令他悲痛欲絕。 然而，堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志鞭策著他，推動(dòng) 他前進(jìn)，使他更加樂(lè)觀、投入、堅(jiān)毅。 這讓他得以全力以赴，一次次戰(zhàn)勝生命中的巨大困 難和挫折。 一百年之后，世界各地的人們都贊頌亞伯拉罕·林肯，認(rèn)為他是有史以來(lái)最偉 大的美國(guó)總統(tǒng)。 13 His background was certainly

51、 not glamorous. (Para. 4) Meaning: His background was actually very plain. 14 He failed in business twice, suffered a nervous breakdown when his first love died suddenly and lost eight political elections. (Para. 4) Meaning: He tried to run a business twice, neither of which was successful. He exper

52、ienced a serious emotional and psychological collapse when his first love died suddenly, and he failed in eight political elections. 15 Yet his strong will was the spur that pushed him forward, strengthening his optimism, dedication and determination. (Para. 4) Meaning: However, his strong will moti

53、vated him to go forward and made him more optimistic, dedicated, and determined. 16 It intensified and focused his efforts and enabled him to triumph over the overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in his life. (Para. 4) Meaning: It made his efforts stronger and more focused, and enabled hi

54、m to defeat a large number of failures and serious difficulties in his life. 17 A hundred years later, people from around the world commend Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president of all time. (Para. 4)Meaning: Now, people around the world praise Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American p

55、resident of all time. 5 Just like Churchill and Lincoln, only those who "keep their eyes on the prize", those who uphold a committed and focused will and spirit, will find their endeavors successful. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have had the same experience. They achieved

56、 prosperity because they possessed a fierce will to keep preparing and working and a passion to succeed. They attained success, not because it was easy, but because they had the will to overcome profound obstacles and to work diligently in the pursuit of their goals. 5 與丘吉爾和林肯一樣，只有那些“執(zhí)著地追求成功”的人，那些保持

57、始終如一的精神意志 的人，才會(huì)通過(guò)自身的努力，獲得成功。 許多藝術(shù)家、政治家、作家和發(fā)明家都有同樣的 經(jīng)歷。 他們之所以能取得這樣的成就，是因?yàn)樗麄儞碛袕?qiáng)烈的意愿，不懈地準(zhǔn)備、奮斗， 并保持對(duì)成功的激情。 他們?nèi)〉昧顺晒?，并不是因?yàn)槌晒苋菀?，而是因?yàn)樗麄儞碛锌朔?重重障礙的意志，為了追求目標(biāo)而勤奮努力。 18 Just like Churchill and Lincoln, only those who "keep their eyes on the prize", those who uphold a committed and focused will and spi

58、rit, will find their endeavors successful. (Para. 5) Meaning: Just like Churchill and Lincoln, only those who stay focused on their goal and concentrate their will and spirit on their work, will finally achieve success through their sustained efforts. Note: keep one's eyes on the prize: stay focused on the end result; not let small problems get in the way of good results 執(zhí)著地追求成功 e.g. I know it's difficult going to class after work, but just keep your eyes on the prize. At the end of next year, you'll have your MBA. 我知道下班之后再去上課是很困難的，但是你得堅(jiān)持既定目標(biāo)！明年底你就能獲得 工商管理碩士了。 19 T
