“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can helpyou. Teachers can help you. others still can help you. But all these only helpyou to help yourself
“自立”是自然对每个人的要求.也许你的父母、老师能够帮助你,其他人也可以帮助你,但是所有这些人都只是帮你更加自主、自立。
There have been many men in history. But many of them were very poor inchildhood, and no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few. Theycould not depend duanwenw upon them for an education. They saw how it was andset to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own waytill they became well-known.
历史上有很多伟人,他们在幼年时很穷,没有任何亲戚朋友帮助他们,而且当时很少有学校,所以他们无法从学校获得教育.认识到这一点,他们便开始自己努力去学习,并排除万难直到最后成功。
One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, ”I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can duanwenw help make men of yourself.”
有一位著名的英国老师曾经告诫他的学生:”我无法使你们出人头地,但是我可以帮你们造就自己。”
Some young men don't try their best to make themselves valuable to humanbeings. They can never gain achievement unless they see their weak points andchange their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as theylive, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend ontheir own efforts.
有些年轻人没有尽他们最大的努力去实现自己的人生价值。除非他们能够认识到自己的弱点,改变自己的方向,不然他们就不会获得成功。他们应该虚心接受父母和师长提出的忠告,并努力奋斗,否则,他们现在一无所成,而且终其一生都会一无所成。
