Remember
my son
you have to work
年轻人
无论如何你都得工作
whether you handle a pick or a pen,
a wheel-barrow or a set of boooks,
不管你挥洒锄头亦或笔墨
不论你是推车的或是统计帐薄的
digging ditches or editing a paper,
ringing an auction bell
or writing funny things,
you must work
无论你是汗流浃沟渠还是编辑报纸文章
也啃呢公式拍卖师亦或是一位作家
都必须有一份为之努力奋斗的工作
if you look around
you will see the men
who are the most able
to live the rest of their days without work
are the men who work the hardest
如果你留意观察周围的人
你就会发现
足够努力才能积累以后
享受天伦之乐的资本
Don't be afraid of killing yourself
with overwork
it is beyond your power to do that
on the sunny side of thirty
理性看待勤奋工作带给我们的负担
因为30岁你的承受能力远不止于此
they die sometimes,
but it is because
they quit work
at six in the evening
and do not go home
until two in the morning
当然也不乏有六点下班后
在外流连到凌晨两点才回家
这段时间的生活毁了他们自己
the work gives you
an appetite for your meals
it lends solidity to your slumbers
it gives you a perfect
and grateful appreciation of a holiday
积极的工作心态会带给你愉悦
且不错的生活质量
还能让你学会
如何更好的享受完美的假期
there are young men who do not work
but the worls is not proud of them
这世界
不会为不工作的年轻人迟疑一刻
it does not know their names
even it simply speaks of them
as 'old so-and so's boy'
这世界只会铭记努力的人
所以记得别成为他们口中的那些
‘那个谁谁谁或是某某某
nobody likes them,
the great, busy world
doesn't know that they are there
没人会在意他们
这茫茫人海，茫茫碌碌的世界
更不会记得他们
so find out what you want to be and do
and take off your coat
and make a dust in the worls
所以
努力找到你想做，你要做的事情
撸起袖子，在这世界留下你的印记
the busier you are
the less harm you will be apt to get into
the sweeter will be your sleep
the brighter and happier your holidays
and the better satisfied
will the world be with you
所以 让自己忙起来吧
这样你会发觉自己生活更幸福
梦乡更甜美，生活更富足
这世界也因你的努力让自己更加明媚
