何謂真正的成功？

山東省濟寧市第一中學 宋昱佳供稿

On the journey of life,some people are always pursuing wealth and fame and considering them as a kind of motivation for his achievement.But from my point of view,the real success doesn’t lie in how much money you’ve earned,or which social class you are at,but personal satisfaction and happiness which belong to you.

在人生的旅途中，有一些人總是在追名逐利，并把這看作是促使他們獲取成就的動機。但在我看來，真正的成功，并不取決于你的收入多少，或者你所處的社會階層，而是來自于真正屬于你自己的快樂和滿足。

Galileo Galilei,an Italian scientist,is one of the persons that I admire.He is recognized as one of the greatest people in the world.It was his interests on science that motivated him to go further.During his life,he made some great inventions and set up many new theories and laws on physics andastronomy1,which benefited mankind a great deal.But we all know that his whole life wasmiserable2.Many people were against his theories and laws,because he overthrew some of the former wrong views,which were believed by Italy for a long time.

伽利略，是我崇敬的一位意大利科學家，同時也是世界上最偉大的科學家之一。正是他對于科學的興趣才促使他在這一方面深有造詣。在他的一生中，他有許多偉大的發(fā)明，并且提出了許多新的讓人類受益的物理和天文方面的理論與定律。但是，眾所周知，伽利略的一生并不順利。他推翻了一些長期被意大利人們相信的謬論，這讓許多人和他對立。

Galileo led a poor life,but what makes me admire him is that he never gave up!Not only did he know that his study would help the people and the world go further,but also he felt happy andfulfilled3on his research.So he stuck to his opinions and made a great contribution to the world.Not was his success gained by money or fame,but by the real happiness and satisfaction from his researches.And he would never regret.As for him,wealth and fame are just something unimportant,while what matters is truth and facts!

但是讓我欽佩的是，盡管貧窮，伽利略卻從來沒有放棄過。他不僅僅清楚的知道他的新理論會有利于人類和這個世界的發(fā)展，而且他也沉浸在自己的研究中，充實并快樂著。于是，他堅持自己的研究，最終為世界作出了巨大的貢獻。他的成功，并不是來自于財富和名譽，而是來自于做研究時的真正的快樂和充實。他決不會后悔，對于他來說，財富和名譽并不是重要的，真正重要的，卻是真理和事實！

As for us students,if we feel fulfilled and delighted about what we’re doing now,never will we regret.For instance,sometimes we can get good grades,which is a kind of reward for our efforts.It is much more sig nificant than any material rewards and it will also motivate and encourage us to keep going.

對于我們學生來說，如果我們對于我們現(xiàn)在所做的事情感到快樂和充實，我們將永遠不會后悔。比如，有時我們或許會取得好成績，這或許是對于我們付出的一種“獎賞”。這份成績本身比任何物質(zhì)上的獎勵更加重要，同時也會激勵鼓舞我們走得更遠。

What’s more,material can’t last for long and it is onlysuperficial4.It will not bring us the real happiness.Instead,sometimes if we lose self control,wealth and fame might become sometemptations5leading us to a wrong way.So we are likely to become tired and lonely spiritually.While the real happiness and satisfaction is somethinginvisible6which comes from the bottom of our hearts.

進一步來說，物質(zhì)只是表象，是不可能持久的。它不可能給我們帶來真正的快樂。反而，如果我們有時失去了自制力，財富和名譽會成為將我們引入歧途的誘惑，讓我們很可能變得空虛、疲倦。然而真正的快樂和滿足卻是無形的，它們來自我們的內(nèi)心深處。

As an old saying goes,“The wealth of mind is the true wealth”.As far as I am concerned,the real success is something that can not be measured by wealth and fame,and it comes from fulfillment of our hard work.

正如一句老話說的，“心靈的財富才是真正的財富”。在我看來，真正的成功是不能用財富和名譽來衡量的，它來自于我們勤奮努力后的充實感。
