Never, ever give up!

永不言弃！

As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, SirWinston Churchill, attended
a public school calledHarrow. He was not a good student, and had he notbeen
from a famous family, he probably would havebeen removed from the school
for deviating from therules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and hiserrors
there did not
preclude
him from going on tothe university. He
eventually
ha
d a premier armycareer whereby he was later elected
prime
achi
eved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and
abundant
courage in his refus
al to
surrender
during the
miserable
dark days of World War II. His amazing

determination
helped
motivate
his entire nation and was an
inspiration
w
orldwide.
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。

Toward the end of his period as
prime
minister, he was invited to
address
th
e
patriotic
youngboys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said,

to
address
you, and you should obey whatever soundadvice he may give yo

校
长说：
“
年轻的先生们，当代最伟 大的演说家过几天就会来为你们演讲，他提出的任何中肯
的建议，
你们都要听从。
”< br>那个激动人心的日子终于到了。
温斯顿爵士站了起来

他只有

107 公斤。他作了言简意赅的讲话：
“
年轻人，要永不放弃。永
不放弃！永不放弃！永 不，永不，永不，永不！

Personal history, educational
opportunity
, individual dilemmas - none of the
se can
inhibit
astrong spirit
committed
to success. No task is too hard. No a
mount of preparation is too longor too difficult. Take the example of two of th
e most
scholarly
scientists of our age, AlbertEinstein and Thomas Edison. Bo
th faced
immense
obstacles and
extreme
criticism. Both werecalled
learn
mschool because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many qu
estions. Einsteindidn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and w
as such a poor student that somethought he was unable to learn. Yet both bo
ys' parents believed in them. They worked intenselyeach day with their sons,
and the boys learned to never
bypass
the long hours of hard workthat they n
eeded to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childh
oodpersecution and went on to
achieve
magnificent discoveries that
benefit

the entire worldtoday.
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

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，
就绝不要怕付出长期而艰辛的努力。
最终，爱因斯坦 和爱迪生都摆脱了童年的困扰，进而作出了造福当今全世界的伟大发现。

林肯这个英雄的典范，他一生面临了无数艰辛、失败和接二连三的不幸。他

初恋爱人的突然离世也使他精神崩溃，还在八次政治选举中落马。
此后，他的四个孩子有三个不幸去世，令他悲痛欲绝。然而，坚强的意志鞭策着他，推动他前进，使
他更加乐 观、投入、坚毅。这让他得以全力以赴，一次次战胜生命中的巨大困难和挫折。一
