《丛林故事》内容介绍:《丛林故事》是二十世纪初英国最重要的著名作家之一拉迪亚德·吉卜林的早期代表作,亦为其最有影响和最受欢迎的作品,一百年来被翻译成各种文字,在世界上广为流传。全书由七个独立的中篇小说结集而成,讲述了“狼孩”莫戈里和其他几种不同动物的故事。作品中塑造了机智勇敢的“狼孩”莫戈里以及憨厚的老熊巴鲁、机敏的黑豹巴格希拉、不畏艰险的白海豹柯迪克和不惧强暴的捕蛇英雄小獠里奇一迪奇等诸多个性鲜明、令人难忘的形象,故事情节惊险曲折、引人入胜。书中七个中篇除《白海豹》之外,故事情节均发生在印度,向读者展开了一幅神秘而又壮阔的印度丛林图卷,因此作品又充满了别具特色的异域风情。
拉迪亚德曾旅居印度,游历美国、南非、加拿大等国家,他的诗仿佛在不经意中完成,却往往产生巨大反响。一位作家这样评价拉迪亚德.吉卜林:“不仅在文学上,乃至在世界上的所有英语国家中,他都被认为是最具影响力的人。” 《如果》是一首相当励志的诗,曾被译成27国语言作为学习的教材,许多人,特别是青少年常以此勉励自己,激发前进动力。
芸芸众生,谁不想成功,谁不想令世人瞩目,诗人在诗中展示了成功背后,包含多少辛酸,经历多少磨难,忍受多少痛楚。有道是“天将降大任于斯人也,必先苦其心志,劳其筋骨”。“如果”我们能正视成功前的种种困难,勇于接受挑战;失败了,何畏惧,重头再来,何愁成功不光顾你,世界不属于你呢?更重要的是,你是个顶天立地的人。
如今, 拉迪亚德的《如果》成了迈克杰克逊的墓志铭。
诗歌原文及中文翻译:
If
By Rudyard Kipling
如果……
拉迪亚德.吉卜林
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
如果所有人都失去理智,咒骂你,
你仍能保持头脑清醒;
如果所有人都怀疑你,
你仍能坚信自己,让所有的怀疑动摇;
如果你要等待,不要因此厌烦,
为人所骗,不要因此骗人,
为人所恨,不要因此抱恨,
不要太乐观,不要自以为是;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools;
如果你是个追梦人——不要被梦主宰;
如果你是个爱思考的人——不要以思想者自居;
如果你遇到骄傲和挫折
把两者当骗子看待;
如果你能忍受,你曾讲过的事实
被恶棍扭曲,用于蒙骗傻子;
或者,看着你用毕生去看护的东西被破坏,
俯下身去,用破旧的工具把它修补;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: Hold on;
如果在你赢得无数桂冠之后,
然后孤注一掷再搏一次,
失败过后,东山再起,
不要抱怨你的失败;
如果你能迫使自己,
在别人走后,长久坚守阵地,
在你心中已空荡荡无一物,
只有意志告诉你“坚持!”;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
如果你与人交谈,能保持风度,
伴王同行,能保持距离;
如果仇敌和好友都不害你;
如果所有人都对你寄予希望,却不过分依赖;
如果你花六十秒进行短程跑,
填满那不可饶恕的一分钟——
你就可以拥有一个世界,
这个世界的一切都是你的,
更重要的是,孩子,你是个顶天立地的人。
译文2
如果在众人六神无主之时,
你能镇定自若而不是人云亦云;
如果在被众人猜忌怀疑之日,
你能自信如常而不去妄加辩论;
如果你有梦想又能不迷失自我,
如果你有神思,又不至走火入魔;
如果你在成功之中能不得意忘形,
而在灾难之后也勇于咀嚼苦果;
如果听到自己说出的奥妙,
被无赖歪曲成面目全非的魔术而不怨艾;
如果你辛苦劳作,已是功成名就,
还是冒险一搏,哪怕功名成乌有,
即使惨遭失败,也要从头开始;
如果你跟村夫交谈而不离谦恭之态,
和王侯散步而不露谄媚之颜;
如果他人的爱憎左右不了你的正气;
如果你与任何人为伍都能卓然独立,
那么你的修养就会如天地般博大——
而你,就是真正的男子汉了。
