If

假如

By Rudyard Kipling

這是吉卜林寫給他12歲的兒子的一首詩，告誡兒子如何才能經受住人生旅途中可能遇到的種種精神上考驗的勉勵詩，這首詩放在當代依然很有力量， 尤其在承受種種心理壓力時，如果能夠去細細體會和領悟這首詩的深刻內涵，我們一定能從中受到鼓舞。

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it>假如你能保持冷靜，即使眾人都失去理智并且歸咎于你;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;

假如你能保持自信，即使眾人都懷疑你，讓所有的懷疑動搖;

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,

假如你能等待而不因此厭煩，別人騙你，不要因此騙人，別人憎恨你，也不去憎恨別人，

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

不要太樂觀，不要自以為是;

If you can dream and not make dreams your master;

假如你能尋夢——而不為夢想主宰;

If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,

假如你能思考——而不以思索為目標;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same.

假如你能面對成敗禍福而同樣視之如騙徒。

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

如你聽到你的老實話被小人歪曲，去蒙騙愚蠢之輩而尚能心平氣和，

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools;

或者見到你畢生的亊業被毀，而尚能執起破舊的工具去著手重建;

If you can make>如果在你贏得無數桂冠之后，然后孤注一擲再搏一次，

And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss;

失敗過后，東山再起，不要抱怨你的失敗;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone,

假如你能驅使你的心力和精神，在別人走后，長久地堅守陣地，

And so hold>讓你抓牢，盡管你里面己掏空了，只有意志告訴它們“堅持!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,

假如你能與市井之徒交談而不失于禮，出入于貴胄之家而不忘蒼生黎民，

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much,

假如你能尊重人人而不膜拜何人，既不受制于仇敵亦不受制于親朋;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

假如你能以六十秒長跑去填滿不可饒恕的一分鐘：

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And - which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son!

這個世界的一切都是你的，更重要的是——孩子——你是個頂天立地的人!
