And lose, and start again at your beginnings面临失去，能又再从头开始 And never breathe a word about your loss;而从此只字不提滑铁卢的惨败； If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew如果，人们早已离你而去 To serve your turn long after they are gone,你仍然能坚守阵地奋力前驱， And so hold on when there is nothing in you当身上已一无所有 Except the will which says to them: "Hold on!"唯有意志在高喊：“顶住！” If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue3,如果你能与平庸之辈为伍而不变谦虚态度， Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,或出将入相，而面无谄媚之色， If neither foes4 nor loving friends can hurt you,如果死敌或至亲都无法对你造成伤害， If all men count with you, but none too much;如果众人都对你信赖有加，又不过分依赖； If you can fill the unforgiving minute如果你能珍惜每寸逝去不再回的光阴 With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,把每分每秒用到极致， Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,那么，你的成就会如天地一样博大， And—which is more—you’ll be a man, my son!更重要的是，我的孩子，你就是一个顶天立地的人了！
