Don’’t Quit 不應放棄
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all
uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are
high,
And you want to smile, but you have to
sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
當你覺得凡事難以盡如所求，
當你感到旅途猶如逆水行舟，
當你身無分文，卻是債項堆積，
你想展露一絲笑容，但只能發出聲聲嘆息。
若煩惱令你身心多少有點困迫，
別要放棄！但不妨稍作休息。
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You might succeed with another blow.
偶爾我們亦會知曉，
人生起伏跌宕，方證生命之奇妙。
往往我們重蹈覆轍，
倘若不懈堅持，或會凱旋報捷。
不應放棄，儘管拖著蹣跚步履，
一再嘗試，成功或會屬你。
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's
cup.
And he learned too late, when the night
slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
有時目標所在，
近於猶豫軟弱的人眼中看來。
有時與勝利之盃只差毫釐，
掙扎的人始言放棄，
後來他才驚醒，面對夜幕深垂之時，
金光冠冕卻是觸手可至。
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt -
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest
hit -
It's when things seem worst that you
mustn't quit.
失敗乃成功之母，
守得雲開見月明，
你永不知道終點何時得見，
或者它看似遠在天邊，其實它近在眼前。
請你堅持奮戰，尤當嘗到重擊一記，
因為凡事處於最壞時，更不應放棄。
