如何定義成功英語(yǔ)

　　你是如何定義成功的呢?(How do you define success?)以下是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編為大家整理的關(guān)于如何定義成功英語(yǔ),歡迎閱讀!

　　For some, success is defined in terms of the dollar amount on a paycheck. For others, it's the title on their business card. Others may define success in terms of the accolades and awards they have won.

　　有些人用薪水定義成功。對(duì)另一些人來(lái)說(shuō)，成功是名片上的頭銜。其它人也許根據(jù)贊譽(yù)和獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)來(lái)定義。

　　But the problem with how people define success these days is that when they're forced to change it, they can't. Look at the businessmen who have committed suicide because they have lost fortunes. Consider the workers who are fired and then go back to work, armed with a gun.

　　對(duì)于很多人來(lái)說(shuō)，問(wèn)題在于，讓他們改變自己對(duì)于成功的定義是不可能的。看看那些因?yàn)閾p失錢財(cái)而自殺的商人，想想被解雇后帶了一只槍回公司的員工。

　　Extreme cases, sure. Not everyone considers killing themselves or others when their livelihood is threatened. But it does point out that maybe we need to revisit our own definition of success.

　　當(dāng)然，這些都是極端例子。并不是每個(gè)人在生計(jì)受到威脅的時(shí)候會(huì)自殺或殺人。但這的確說(shuō)明，也許我們需要重新定義成功。

　　Start by completing this definition: 'Success to me is....'

　　首先，完成這個(gè)句子：“成功對(duì)我而言是......”

　　After you complete this sentence, then review it and determine if you're on the path to achieving that success. If you were to lose your job or money tomorrow, would your definition of success still be valid? Or, would you consider yourself a failure?

　　當(dāng)你完成了這個(gè)句子，然后重新審視一下，你是否處于取得這種成功的軌道上。如果你明天失去工作或錢財(cái)，你對(duì)成功的定義還有效嗎?你會(huì)認(rèn)為自己是一個(gè)失敗者嗎?

　　I remember a job where I worked long, stressful hours and often labored for a boss who had mood swings like a freaking roller coaster. It made for a tense situation, to say the least. One day I was talking to a co-worker and the exhaustion was overwhelming. I felt so dissatisfied, frustrated and even angry. Then it hit me: If I died that day, I didn't want the only thing on my tombstone to be 'Always met her deadlines.'

　　我曾長(zhǎng)期從事一份有壓力的工作，情緒無(wú)常的老板讓人心力交瘁，至少讓局勢(shì)緊張。一天，同事交談時(shí)，我感到筋疲力盡。我覺(jué)得非常不滿、沮喪甚至是憤怒。突然萌生一個(gè)想法：如果我那天死了，我可不愿意我的墓志銘只有一句：“總能按時(shí)完成任務(wù)。”

　　Ugh, I remember thinking. I wanted my life to account for more than that. It wasn't until months later that I started making some real changes in my life, changes that I know made me much better able to balance my life and devote time and effort to more than my job.

　　呃，我思考著，我希望生活有更多意義。數(shù)月后，我開(kāi)始對(duì)生活做出一些切實(shí)改變，讓我更能平衡生活，而不只是把時(shí)間和精力花在工作上。

　　Right now, times are tough and some of us are beginning to panic. But I think it's a golden opportunity to really think about what is important in your life, and weed out the things that don't really matter.

　　時(shí)下不景氣，有些人開(kāi)始驚恐。但是我認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)千載難逢的機(jī)會(huì)，讓你認(rèn)真思考你的生活中什么是重要的，并剔除那些不要緊的東西。

　　You are the one who must define what success is to you. One thing I know for sure: You are more than a job title, you are worth more than a number on a paycheck and you are more than an award to hang on your wall. Is the destination you have in mind worth the road you must travel? Only you can answer that.

　　只有你自己能為自己定義成功。有一點(diǎn)我清楚：你不只意味著一個(gè)頭銜，不只意味著工資單上的數(shù)字，也不只意味著掛在墻上的那個(gè)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。為了到達(dá)你心中的目的地，你一定得走這樣一條路嗎? 只有你能回答。

　　How do you define success? Is it wealth? Is it happiness? Webster’s dictionary has three definitions.

　　你會(huì)如何定義成功?家財(cái)萬(wàn)貫?生活幸福?韋氏詞典對(duì)成功一詞有三個(gè)解釋：

　　1. The fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame.

　　得到或通過(guò)努力獲取了財(cái)富、尊重或名望;

　　2. The correct or desired result of an attempt.

　　在行動(dòng)之后所獲得的適當(dāng)?shù)幕蝾A(yù)期的結(jié)果;

　　3. Someone or something that is successful: a person or thing that succeeds.

　　成功的人或物。

　　The late Zig Ziglar was one of the most respected modern day experts on success, motivation, and leading a balanced life. In his book Born to Win!,he argues that success cannot be defined in one sentence, but instead it is comprised of many things. One could argue that the definition depends on the individual and one size does not fit all.

　　已故的金•克拉是現(xiàn)代備受敬仰的成功學(xué)專家之一，也是激勵(lì)人心、引導(dǎo)和諧生活的大師。在他《生而為贏》這本書(shū)中，他提出成功不能用一句話來(lái)概括，相反，成功是由很多東西組成的。根據(jù)一個(gè)個(gè)體而得出的定義并不符合所有人。
