If — Rudyard Kipling
如果 —— 拉迪亚德·吉卜林
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
如果周围的人毫无理性地向你发难，你仍能镇静自若保持冷静;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
如果众人对你心存猜忌，你仍能自信如常并认为他们的猜忌情有可原;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
如果你肯耐心等候不急不躁，
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
或遭人诽谤却不以牙还牙，
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
或遭人憎恨却不以恶报恶;
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
既不装腔作势，亦不气盛趾高;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
如果你有梦想，而又不为梦主宰;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
如果你有心机，而又不走火入魔;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
如果你坦然面对成功和灾害，对虚渺的胜负荣辱胸怀旷荡;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
如果你能忍受有这样的无赖，歪曲你的口吐真言蒙骗笨汉，
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
或看着心血铸就的事业崩溃，仍能忍辱负重脚踏实地重新攀登;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
如果你敢把取得的一切成功，为了更崇高的目标孤注一掷，
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
