【双语美文】I Want! I Do! I Get!




人要敢于想,只有敢于想,

才会有梦想;

有了梦想,才有目标。

人要坚持做,只有坚持做,

梦想才能变成现实,

我们才能在人生中有所收获。

【 I Want!I Do!I Get!】

我想! 我做! 我得!

雷盖音乐大师吉米·克里夫曾演唱一首歌曲,

歌词用六个字概括了如何在生活中获得成功:

我想!我做!我得!

这六字箴言威力巨大,

是连接你的期待与收获之间的桥梁。

  There's a great song out there by Jimmy Cliff, one of reggae's top artists, that in six words summarizes just how you succeed in life: I want! I do! I get! These six words are a very powerful way of connecting what you want with what you will achieve.

  首先,要敢想,比如想家人和自己日子过得更好,挣到更多的钱,找一份好工作等等;总之是你的梦想或是渴望。你期盼,你梦想,日思夜想,无比向往,但这还远远不够。

  First comes wanting something-a better life for yourself, your family, more money, a better job, whatever it is you dream about and long for. You desire it, you dream about it, you daydream about it, you yearn for it. But that's not enough.

我想!我做!我得!

I Want! I Do! I Get!

  接下来, 就是要去做了, 不过这一步往往会被许多人遗忘。只是一味憧憬不会对你实现目标有丝毫的推动。你必须付诸行动。你要去寻找更好的工作,来换掉现在的工作, 冒冒险, 写写软件,去尝试些新的东西, 丢弃你过去的做法,去考大学, 去工作。去行动, 去努力。付诸行动才能把你的梦想变成现实。

  Next is the part too many people forget about-comes the doing. All of the wanting in the world is not going to move you one inch closer to what you want: you have to do. You have to find a better job, change jobs, take risks, write software, try new things, stop doing old things, go to college, work, act, do. The doing is the absolutely indispensable connection between what you want and what you get.

最后,

如果你始终坚持做下去,

如果你不断调整好方向,

朝着你要实现的目标挺进,

你迟早都会得到。

也许得之不易。

也许不像在电影或电视剧里,

那么快的实现,

不过你终会得到。

  Finally, if you keep doing what needs to be done, if you keep adjusting what you do to move you closer to what you want, you get. Maybe not easily , maybe not as quickly as movies and television portray, but it will come.

I Want! I Do! I Get!

这六字箴言最富哲理之处,

可以友情提示下。

你注意到六个词里,

每句都有“我”这个字吗?

不是别人渴望,

也不是别人说你“应该”或“要”去做。

况且也没有人能为你去做。

只有你才是实践这六字箴言的关键。

  One final philosophical note about these six words: notice that "I" is in three of them? Not what others want, not what others say you are "supposed" or "should" do. What's more, no one is going to do it for you. You are the key to making these six words work.
