If — Rudyard Kipling

如果 —— 拉迪亚德·吉卜林

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

如果周围的人毫无理性地向你发难，你仍能镇定自若保持冷静；

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

如果众人对你心存猜忌，你仍能自信如常并认为他们的猜忌情有可原；

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

如果你肯耐心等待不急不躁，

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

或遭人诽谤却不以牙还牙，

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

或遭人憎恨却不以恶报恶；

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

既不装腔作势，亦不气盛趾高；

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

如果你有梦想，而又不为梦主宰；

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

如果你有神思，而又不走火入魔；

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

如果你坦然面对胜利和灾难，对虚渺的胜负荣辱胸怀旷荡；

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

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

如果你能忍受有这样的无赖，歪曲你的口吐真言蒙骗笨汉，
