Text A: 300 Hurdles
300米跨栏
Life may give you negative, but don’t despair –it may just develop into a beautiful picture one day. This year, I realized my theory that I have on life. Life is like a 300m hurdle race. Since I run the 300m hurdles, I would know what the race is like.
生活也许会充满荆棘坎坷，但不要灰心绝望——也许有一天它便会勾勒出一幅美丽的画
卷。

今年我懂得了生活的真谛——生活就像一个300米的跨栏比赛。

因为参加300米跨栏比
赛，所以我知道在这个比赛过程中应该怎么做。

The first thing to any race is worrying about whether you are going to win or not. This relates to worrying about the petty things in life. Does it really matter if you win? Is it really going to be the end of the world? Or will you be upset if you lose and forget about it? In life we worry too much and live in the moment too little.
对于所有的比赛来说，最担心的事情莫过于输赢。

这就好像在担心生活中那些无关紧要的事情一样。

难道获胜真的那么重要?难道输了就意味着世界末日的来临?或者你因为输了比赛就黯然神伤然后才慢慢忘记?生活中，我们担心得太多，而活在当下太少。

Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes. We each start at different spots, but the race is still the same distance for everyone. This relates to our lives taking us to different places and putting us in different situations, but hopefully we will end up in the same place, but maybe at different times.
接下来就是在我们自己的跑道上蓄势待发。

尽管在不同的地点起跑，但对我们每个人来说比赛的路程是相同的。

这就好比生活将我们引领到不同的地方，放置到不同的环境中，但令人充满希望的是，尽管在不同的时间，但我们最终会在同一个地方谢幕。

Now comes the beginning of the race. We all try to keep up with everyone and pace ourselves with other people. This symbolizes that at times in every one’s lives we worry about
fitting in or being the same as other people, instead of worrying about being unique. If anyone were the same, the world would be incredibly boring.
现在比赛开始。

我们都竭尽全力追赶别人，尽量让自己跟上他人的步伐。

这表明有时在生活中我们每个人都会担心要去适应他人或者与他人一样，而不是担心成为独一无二的自己。

如果人与人没有什么区别的话，这个世界是多么单调，令人生厌啊。

Now comes the first hurdle. This hurdle is the easiest to get over because you are not worn out from running. We all make it over this hurdle with ease. This symbolizes those obstacles in life that we struggle to get over, but we always manage to do so. You can look at that hurdle in two ways: “I can’t make it over, I’m tired” or “I am one more hurdle closer to finishing this race.” This is an example of taking a negative situation and seeing something positive in it.
现在到了第一个跨栏。

由于刚开始比赛你还没有筋疲力尽，所以这个跨栏是最容易的。

我们很轻松地跨过了这个栏杆。

这就好像我们奋力去克服生活中的一些障碍，无论怎样，我们总能解决它们。

你可以用两种心态看待这个跨栏：“我无法跨过它，我太累了”或者“我又跨过了一个栏杆，我离比赛终点又近了一步”。

这是一个在消极的环境中看到积极因素的例子。

The next part of the race is every hurdle between the first and the last one. These hurdles get tougher and tougher and you may feel as though you can’t go on. This happens a lot in life too. There may be a situation that arises where you feel as though you can’t make it and all you can think is giving up. You may fall over that “hurdle” or struggle getting over it, but somehow you find it in yourself to jump over it and move on with the race.
比赛的下一部分，就是介于第一个栏和最后一个栏中间的每一个栏。

跨过这些栏难度越来越大，你似乎感觉到自己无法继续坚持了。

当然这种事情在生活中也经常发生。

譬如，有些时候你觉得自己无法完成某事，你满脑子想的就是想要放弃。

也许你会被跨栏绊倒，也许你会很艰难地跨过它，但无论怎样你克服了这些困难，然后继续进行这场比赛。

Next is that last 100m of the race. You feel as though you just want to say, “No I can’t do this.” Again, you must find it in yourself that you can do it, and you must finish the race stronger than when you had started it.
接下来是整个比赛的最后100米，你也许只想说：“不，我无法跑完最后100米。

”但你必须要再告诫自己你一定能做到，而且必须在快结束的时候比刚开始比赛时跑得更快。

Now lastly is the last hurdle. This hurdle is the toughest out of all of them. In life we find ourselves falling and falling, and maybe getting too lost in our problems that we feel like we have been through enough and the re’s no hope. That last hurdle symbolizes these situations. It’s one step close to the end of the race.
现在到了最后一个栏杆，这个跨栏是最难跨越的。

生活中，我们发现自己不断跌倒，为种种问题所困扰，感觉自己历经重重磨难，仍然看不到希望，这最后一个跨栏象征了这些情况。

这是靠近比赛结束的关键一步。

Once you finish, you look back on it and you realize that you made it not by leaping, but step by step. “Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch.”
一旦你成功了，你再回过头来看，你会意识到成功不是一蹴而就的，而是靠一步一个脚印地坚持走过。

“生活在遥不可及的追求下步履蹒跚，生活在一步一个脚印的指引下轻松度过。

”
All it takes is one step at a time, one hurdle at a time.
成功需要的就是每次一小步，每次一个突破。

Section B
恐惧和缺乏自信决定了我们相互交往和工作的方式。

工作单位是冷酷的地方，你需要自己保护自己。

要想在这场比赛中获胜，就要自力更生、有责任心、充满自信、意志坚定。

首先，你要正确评价自己，意识到自己的价值。

否则的话，一句话，你就有麻烦了。

不管从事什么职业，要想成功就必须有自信心。

这就是为什么你发现有些人没有什么天赋，但是内在动力很强大，比那些有天赋的人所取得的成功大得多。

有了积极的思维，就有积极的态度、反应和情绪，这反过来就会促进成功。

另一方面，态度消极、充满恐惧、疑虑重重、忧心忡忡，这样以来行为会更加消极。

但是，我们可以消除头脑中的这些想法，取而代之以积极的信息，用信心来消除恐惧，用决心来消除疑虑，用工作来消除焦虑，用爱来消除恨。

Ⅵ，生活就如同是一条崎岖颠簸的路，到处是困难和挑战。

Text B A Violin with Three Strings
三弦小提琴
On Nov. 18th, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert at
Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.
1995年11月18日，小提琴家伊扎克·帕尔曼在纽约市林肯中心的埃弗里费雪厅上台准备开始一场音乐会。

If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio as a child, and so he has braces on both legs and walks with aid of two crutches. To see him walk across the stage one step at a time, painfully and slowly, is an awesome sight.
如果你曾听过帕尔曼的音乐会，你就知道登台演出对他来说是个非凡的成就。

他幼年患
有小儿麻痹症，两条腿都安有铁夹，靠拄两个拐杖走路。

看着他一步一步艰辛、缓慢地穿过舞台，那场面真令人敬畏!
He walks painfully, yet majestically, until the reaches his chair. Then he sits down, slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs, tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and proceeds to play.
他艰辛但又庄重地走到椅子边，慢慢坐下，把拐杖放到地板上，解开腿上的扣钩，把一只脚掰向身后，把另一只脚伸向身前。

接着，他弯下身拿起小提琴，放到身上，用下巴顶好。

他朝乐队指挥点头示意，随即开始了演奏。

By now, the audience is used to this ritual. They sit quietly while he makes his way across the stage to his chair. They remain reverently silent while he undoes the clasps on his legs. They wait until he is ready to play.
一直以来，观众都对他的开场动作习以为常。

他们静静地坐着，看帕尔曼艰难地穿过舞台走向椅子。

他们一言不发，带着敬意看帕尔曼解开两条腿上的扣钩。

他们等着他开始演奏。

But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it snap – it went off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that sound meant. There was no mistaking what he had to do.
一直以来，观众都对他的开场动作习以为常。

他们静静地坐着，看帕尔曼艰难地穿过舞台走向椅子。

他们一言不发，带着敬意看帕尔曼解开两条腿上的扣钩。

他们等着他开始演奏。

We figured that he would have to get up, put on the claps again, pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage – to either find another violin or else find another string for this one. But he didn’t. instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes a nd then signaled the conductor to begin again.
我们猜想他会不得不放弃演奏，重新扣上腿上的扣钩，拿起拐杖，一瘸一拐地走下舞台。

他要么去找另一把小提琴，要么去为断弦的小提琴找另一根弦。

但是他没有。

他等了一小会
儿，闭上眼睛，接着向乐队指挥示意重新开始。

The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before.
乐队又开始了演奏，他从刚才停下的部分开始。

观众从来没有听过他这么富有激情、饱含力量的纯净的演奏。

Of course, anyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, but that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him modulating, changing, re-composing the piece in his head. At one point, it sounded like he was de-turning the strings to get new sounds from them that they had never made before.
当然，任何人都知道仅靠三根弦是不可能演奏交响乐的。

我们大家都知道这个事实，但是伊扎克·帕尔曼当晚却坚定证明他能够做到。

你能感觉到他在脑海中转调、改变和重新谱写着这支曲子。

听起来像是他在微调琴弦的音调，使其发出以前没有发出过的新声音。

When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. There was an extraordinary outburst of applause from every corner of the auditorium. We were all on our feet, screaming and cheering, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done. He smiled, wiped the sweat from his brow, raised his bow to quiet us, and then he said – not boastfully, but in quiet, pensive, reverent tone –“You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much you can still make with what you have left.”
当他表演结束的时候，整个音乐大厅寂静无声。

然后大家都起立为他鼓掌喝彩。

音乐厅
里到处都爆发出雷鸣般的掌声。

我们都站起来，尖叫着，欢呼着，尽一切所能来表达我们对帕尔曼演奏的赞赏。

他笑了，擦去额头上的汗水，举起小提琴的琴弓示意让我们安静下来。

接着他用一种低沉的、深思的和带有恭敬却丝毫没有自夸的语气对我们说，“大家知道，有的时候，音乐家的天职就是去发现使用残缺的乐器仍能演奏出什么音乐来。

”
What a powerful line that is! It has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it. And who knows? Perhaps that is the definition of life – not just for artists, but for all of us.
这是一句多么引人深思的话啊!从听到这句话的那一刻起我就一直把它铭记于心。

谁知
道呢?也许这就是生命的真谛——不只是对音乐家，对我们所有的人来说都适用。

Here is a man who has prepared all his life to make music on a violin with four strings, who, all of a sudden, in the middle of a concert, finds himself with only three strings; so he makes music with strings, and the music he made that night with just three strings was more beautiful, more sacred, more memorable, than any that he had ever before, when he had four strings.
他毕生都致力于演奏四根弦的小提琴，但在音乐会期间小提琴突然只剩下三根弦：因此他便用三根弦演奏，然而，那晚他用三根弦演奏的音乐却比他之前用四根弦演奏的音乐更加美妙，更加扣人心弦，更加令人难忘。

So, perhaps our task in this shaky, fast-changing, bewildering world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with that we have left.
所以，在这个摇摇欲坠、风云变幻和令人困惑的世界里，我们的任务也许就是弹奏自己的音乐，一开始使用所拥有的一切弹奏，然后，当拥有一切不可能时，使用剩余部分继续弹奏。

困难人人都会有，但是有些人因此而变得更加强壮，方方面面都更加出色，然而有些人却因此一蹶不振，再也没有什么起色。

困难是一样的，不一样的是人们对待困难的态度。

面对困难，思维不够发达、不够强劲，人格虚假，很快就会被生活的暴风雨所吞噬、压垮。

然而，有些人内心力量非常强大，满怀信心，他们永远都不会被压倒，永远不会被打败。

这种力量是无穷的，无论需求量有多大，都是用之不竭的。

意识到自己真正的精神实质是什么，就永远不会被打败，永远不会真正失败。

也许因为死亡，他会失去身体，但是他是真正的人，永远不会死掉。

虽然被打败一千次，他也是不会失败的：他必须再次崛起。
