No Pains, No Gains
不劳无获
It is obvious to everybody that the only way to achieve one's goal is to work hard. Just as the old saying goes, “No mill, no meal.” Have you ever seen a man who succeeds just by idling about? Of course, the answer is “No.” So we know, if you want to gain something, you will have pains.
要达到目标的唯一途径就是努力工作,这对每个人都很明显。正如常言所说不磨面,没饭吃。”你可曾见过一个人懒懒散散而获得成功吗?当然,答案是“没有”。为此我们知道,如果你想获得什么的话,你就得辛勤劳动。
The farmers harvest by a year of arduous work; the scientists gain achievements by years of devoted researches; students get good marks by working hard; even the little ants have their food by working hard day and night. I know there are always some people who wait for the opportunities falling on them. They may attribute their failures to lack of good chances. Therefore, there are so many people gaining nothing at last. Clever men know that the more effort they make, the bigger chance they will have to be successful.
农民通过一年的艰苦劳动获得丰收,科学家通过多年的精心研究取得成就,学生通过努力学习取得好分数,甚至小蚂蚁也通过日夜艰苦劳作得到食物。我知道总是有些人等待机会落到自己身上,他们会把自己的失败归咎于没有好机会,因此有这么多的人最终一无所获。聪明的人知道,他们付出的努力越多,他们就有越多的机会获得成功。
So, when others achieve their aspirations and you still gain nothing, don't complain about the unfair fate and don't give up, either. Remember, no pains, no gains.
所以,当别人实现抱负而你还是一无所获的时候,不要埋怨命运的不公平,也不要放弃,要记住:“不劳无获。”
