雙語(yǔ)閱讀：機(jī)會(huì)如空氣請(qǐng)善待機(jī)會(huì)

　　以下是小編整理的哲理類英語(yǔ)美文欣賞：機(jī)會(huì)如空氣 請(qǐng)善待機(jī)會(huì)， 希望對(duì)你有所啟發(fā)。

　　The air we breathe is so freely available that wetake it for granted. Yet without it we could notsurvive more than a few minutes. For the mostpart, the same air is available to everyone, andeveryone needs it. Some people use the air tosustain them while they sit around and feel sorry forthemselves. Others breathe in the air and use theenergy it provides to make a magnificent life forthemselves.

　　空氣到處都有，我們是如此容易得到它，以至我們常將其易得性視為理所當(dāng)然?？梢坏┦ニ?，我們只能活幾分鐘?；旧?，誰(shuí)都能呼吸到空氣，誰(shuí)都需要空氣。有的人呼吸空氣只為碌碌無(wú)為地生活著，或是在懊悔中度過(guò)余生。有的人呼吸空氣并利用它提供的能量使自己的生活絢麗多彩。

　　Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere.Opportunity is so freely available that we take it forgranted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seizedand acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "groundfloor opportunity", as if the opportunity will do all the work. That’s impossible.

　　機(jī)會(huì)也是如此。機(jī)會(huì)無(wú)處不在。機(jī)會(huì)如此易得以至我們對(duì)此視為理所當(dāng)然。然而只有機(jī)會(huì)并不能獲得成功，而必須抓住機(jī)會(huì)，見機(jī)行事，創(chuàng)造佳績(jī)。許多人都渴望能奪得先機(jī)，似乎只要奪得先機(jī)就能萬(wàn)事大吉。這是不可能的。

　　Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than justbreathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity.That’s not up to the opportunity. That’s up to you. It doesn’t matter what "floor" theopportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.

　　正如你需要呼吸空氣一樣，你需要機(jī)會(huì)才能成功。然而成功靠的并不僅僅是隨手可得的機(jī)會(huì)。你必須利用機(jī)會(huì)。成功并不取決于機(jī)會(huì)，而是取決于你。重要的并不是你在哪一個(gè)階段遇見機(jī)會(huì)，而是面對(duì)機(jī)會(huì)你是如何把握的。
