英语背诵——机会如空气

英语自学网

　　机会如空气
        　　The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted.
        　　Yet without it, we could not survive more than a few minutes.
        　　For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it.
        　　空气到处都有，我们是如此容易得到它，以至我们常将其易得性视为理所当然。
        　　可一旦失去它，我们只能活几分钟。基本上，谁都能呼吸到空气，谁都需要空气.
        　　Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere.
        　　Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted.
        　　Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success.
        　　Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value.
        　　机会也是如此。机会无处不在。机会如此易得以至我们对此视为理所当然。
        　　然而只有机会并不能获得成功，而必须抓住机会，见机行事，创造佳绩。
        　　Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed.
        　　It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity.
        　　That's not up to the opportunity. That's up to you.
        　　It doesn't matter what "floor" the opportunity is on.
        　　What matters is what you do with it.
        　　正如你需要呼吸空气一样，你需要机会才能成功。
        　　然而成功靠的并不仅仅是随手可得的机会。你必须利用机会。
        　　成功并不取决于机会，而是取决于你。
        　　重要的并不是你在哪一个阶段遇见机会，而是面对机会你是如何把握的。
