Advice to a Young Man
Remember
my son
you have to work.
年轻人
无论如何你都得工作
Whether you handle a pick or a pen,
a wheel-barrowor a set of books,
不管你挥洒锄头亦或笔墨
不论你是推车的或是统计帐薄的
digging ditches or editing a paper,
ringing an auctionbell
or writing funny things,
you must work.
无论你是汗流浃挖沟渠还是编辑报纸文章
也可能是拍卖师亦或是一位作家
都必须有一份为之努力奋斗的工作
If you look around
you will see the men
who are the most able
to live the rest of their days without work
are the men who work the hardest.
如果你留意观察周围的人
你就会发现
足够努力才能积累以后
享受天伦之乐的资本
Don't be afraid of killing yourself
with overwork.
It is beyond your power to do that
on the sunny side of thirty.
理性看待勤奋工作带给我们的负担
因为30岁的你承受能力远不止于此
They die sometimes,
but it is because
they quit work
at six in the evening,
and do not go home
until two in the morning.
当然也不乏有六点下班后
在外流连到凌晨两点才回家
挥霍青春与时间的人
It’s the intervalthat kills, my son.
或许正是晚上六点到凌晨两点
这段时间的生活毁了他们自己
The work gives you
an appetite for your meals;
it lends solidityto your slumbers,
it gives you a perfect
and grateful appreciation
of a holiday.
积极的工作心态会带给你愉悦
且不错的生活质量
还能让你学会
如何更好的享受完美的假期
There are young men who do not work,
but the world is not proud of them.
这世界
不会为不工作的年轻人迟疑一刻
It does not know their names,
even it simply speaks of them
as “old So-and-So’s boy”.
这世界只会铭记努力的人
所以记得别成为他们口中的那些
“那个谁谁谁 或是 某某某”
Nobody likes them,
the great, busy world
doesn’t know that they are there.
没人会在意他们
这茫茫人海、忙忙碌碌的世界
更不会记得他们
So find out what you want to be and do,
and take off your coat
and make a dust in the world.
所以
努力找到你想做、你要做的事情
撸起袖子，在这世界留下你的印记
The busier you are,
the less harm you will be apt to get into,
the sweeter will be your sleep,
the brighter and happier your holidays,
and the better satisfied
will the world be with you.
所以让自己忙起来吧
这样你会发觉自己生活更幸福
梦乡更甜美、生活更富足
这世界也因你的努力让自己更加明媚
