1 As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. 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. 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. 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 英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士，小时候在哈罗公学上学。 当时他可不是个好学生， 要不是出身名门，他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。 谢天谢地，他总算从哈罗毕业了， 在那里犯下的错误并没影响到他上大学。 后来，他凭着军旅生涯中的杰出表现当选为英国 首相。 他的才思、智慧、公民责任感以及在二战痛苦而黑暗的时期拒绝投降的无畏勇气， 为他赢得了美名。 他非凡的决心，不仅激励了整个民族，还鼓舞了全世界。

3 Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas — none of these can inhibit 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 \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 unable 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 magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today.
3 个人经历、教育机会、个人困境，这些都不能阻挡一个全力以赴追求成功的、有着坚强意 志的人。 任务再苦，准备再长，难度再大，都不能让他放弃自己的追求。 就以本时代最有 学问的两位科学家——阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦和托马斯·爱迪生为例，他们都曾面临巨大的障 碍和极端的批评，都曾被说成“不开窍”，被老师当成笨蛋而放弃。 托马斯·爱迪生还曾逃 学，因为老师嫌他问的问题太多而经常鞭打他。 爱因斯坦一直到将近 9 岁才能流利地说话， 学习成绩太差，有些人认为他都已经学不好了。 然而，这两个男孩的父母都相信他们。 他 们坚持不懈地每天和儿子一起努力，孩子们也了解到，要想成功，就绝不要

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 education. 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 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 time.
