如  果

如果你被众人指责,却能镇定自若;

如果你被众人怀疑,却能自信如常;

如果你需等待,却不因等待而疲倦,

或遭受欺骗,却不因此骗人,

或遭遇憎恨,却不因此抱恨,

既不得意忘形,也不巧言令色。

如果你有梦想,却不迷失自我;

如果你爱思考,却不走火入魔;

如果在成功之时不忘形于色,

在灾难之后也勇于咀嚼苦果;

如果听到自己说出的事实,

被恶棍扭曲的面目全非,用于蒙骗傻子;

看着自己毕生追求,破灭为一摊零碎的瓦砾,

也不肯放弃,俯身用破旧的工具重新搭建。

如果你能把取得的胜利,为了更崇高的目标孤注一掷;

即使惨遭失败,仍会从头再来,毫不计较;

如果你能直面人生转折,全情投入,

即使身心疲惫,一无所有;

心中仍有“坚持下去”的信念。

如果你与村夫交谈而不离谦恭之态,

和王侯散步而不露献媚之颜;

如果他人的爱憎无法对你造成伤害;

如果你与任何人为伍能够卓然独立;

如果你能惜时如金,把每一分光阴化作六十秒的奋斗,

你就将拥有整个世界,最重要的是:

你就是真正的勇者,我的孩子!

P.S. 这篇诗《如果》是诺贝尔文学奖得主英国诗人拉迪亚德·吉卜林的诗歌作品。主要寄托了其对儿子的嘱托。

这首是以后我一定会读给我儿子听的诗歌之一。昨天在我第三次读穷查理宝典一书中再次读到,再次深受启发,分享给大家。

以上译文源自我综合了网络上的很多译本,进行了修改。特附上原文,如下:

If ——

By Joseph Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you ;

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken,

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings ,

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings ,

And never breath a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew ,

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you ,

Except the Will which stays to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run —

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

——End——
