基础综合英语unit5textB原文及翻译

Finding your true calling

找寻内心真实的呼唤

The very worst use of time in life is to stay for months or years at a job

for which you are completely unsuited. However, a great number of people

spend their whole lives doing something during the week so that they can

somehow find some thing enjoyable to do on the weekend.

人们一生中利用时间最糟糕的莫过于经年累月地从事 自己完全不

合适的工作。可是，有相当多的人却一生都是如此度过的：工作日内做

做事，周末找些乐子。

In every case, these are men and women with very little future before

look upon their jobs as a form of drudgery, a penance they have

to pay in order to enjoy the rest of their lives. And because of this attitude,

they will seldom advance or be promoted. They will stay pretty much at the

same

level,

moving

from

job

to

job,

and

always

wondering

why

other

people seem to live the

quiet desperation.

从各种情况看，

这些人的前途黯淡。

他们认 为自己的工作是沉重的

任务，是他们为了享受余生对自己的惩罚。正是由于这种态度，他 们很

少会有发展或得到提升。他们总是在原地踏步，工作换了一个又一个，

并老是不明白为什么别人能过上

“

好日子

而他们却感觉生活在无声的

绝望之中。

People who are not successful and happy in their work are those who

have

not

taken

the

time

to

sit

down

and

deal

honestly

and

openly

with

have not looked deep within themselves to recognize the

inner

treasures

of

talent

and

ability

that

they

have

demonstrated

throughout their are content to do work that other people design

and to achieve goals that other people set.

那些 在工作中不成功、不快乐的人，

往往没有踏踏实实坐下来坦诚

地 认识了解自我。

他们没有深刻地审视自己，

没有认识到他们生命 中展

现出的宝贵的才华与能力。他们满足于从事别人指派的工作，

完成别人

设定的目标。

Over

time,

people

who

are

not

following

their

true

calling

begin

to

feel that there is nothing they can do to change

income rises enough only to meet their expenditures and they worry about

money

much

of

the

time.

The

future

looks

to

them

to

be

very

much

the

same as the past. But this is not for you!

日子一天天过去，

由于没有追随内心真实的呼唤，< /p>

人们开始感到无

助。他们感到自己无能为力，无法改变这一切，他 们薪水增长缓慢仅够

维持开销，大部分时间都是在担心钱不够用。

前途对于他们和过去相差

无几，可这悲哀的境遇应当不属于你。

Your aim in life is to become everything you are capable of becoming,

to

enjoy

full

self-expression

of

your

talents

and

job

is

to

develop

yourself

to

the

point

at

which

every

day

is

a

source

of

joy

and

satisfaction, and you have so many interesting things to do that you do not

have

enough

time

to

do

mission

is

to

continually

hold

up

a

mirror to yourself and refuse to work at anything that is not an expression

of everything that is good and capable within you.

你在生活中的目标是将 能力发挥到极致，充分展现自我才华与能

力。

你的工作就是不断 完善自己，

直至每天都成为你快乐与满足的源泉，

而你会被许多 有趣的事情环绕以致无暇一一顾及，

你的任务就是手握明

镜照着 自己，若任何工作不适合或不能彰显你的能力，就应当拒绝。

Success comes from being excellent at what you do. The market pays

excellent rewards only for excellent performance. It pays average rewards

for

average

performance

and

below

average

rewards

一

and

insecurity

一

for below-average performance.

成功来自于出色的工作表现，

对于极佳的表现市场会赠与绝佳的报

酬，

中 等的表现只能获得中等报酬，而低劣的工作只会相应地获得低劣

的报酬甚至有丢掉工作的 风险。

But

excellence

is

a

journey,

not

a

destination.

You

never

really

get

can

never

relax.

The

market

is

always

changing,

and

what

constitutes excellence today will be different tomorrow and very different

next year and the year after.

然而，

工作出色是一段旅程而非目的地。

你永远也不可能真正到达。

因而你永远不可以停歇放松，市场在不断变化，今日能表现 出色，明日

也许并不一定，明年乃至后年就更不一定了。

All really successful and happy people know in their hearts that they

are

very

good

at what they

do.

If

you

are doing

what

you

really

enjoy or

love, if you are following your true calling, you will know because of your

attitude you are following your toward excellence.

所有真正成功并且快乐的人们从内心深处得知自己擅长从事的 工

作。

如果你从事真正喜欢和热爱的失业，

如果你追随了你内心真实的呼

唤，你就会知道自己是否擅长，就因你出色的态度。< /p>

When you find your true calling,you will have a continuous desire to

learn

more

about

it.

A

person

who

is

not

driven

to

learn

more

about

his

field is a person who is in the wrong if a person is in the wrong job

and

not

constantly

learning

and

growing

in

his

or

her

field,that

person's

value and his or her employ ability is diminishing with each passing day.
