If  如果

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;

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 impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twiseted 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 wornout tools;

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 breathe 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 nothin in you
Except the Will which says to them:"Hold on!";

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 second' 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!

如果所有人都失去理智，咒罵你，
　　　　你仍能保持頭腦情形；
如果所有人都懷疑你，
　　　　你仍能堅信自己，讓所有的懷疑動搖；
如果你要等待，不要因此厭煩，
　　　　為人所騙，不要因此騙人，
　　　　為人所恨，不要因此抱恨，
　　　　不要太樂觀，不要自以為是；

如果你是個追夢人——不要被夢主宰；
如果你是個愛思考的人——光想會達不到目標；
如果你遇到驕傲和挫折
　　 　　把兩者當騙子看待；
如果你能忍受，你曾講過的事實
　　　　被惡棍扭曲，用于蒙騙傻子；
　　　　看著你用畢生去看護的東西被破壞，
　　　　然后俯身，用破爛的工具把它修補；

如果在你贏得無數桂冠之后‘
　　　　突遇顛峰下跌之險，
　　　　失敗過后，東山再起，
　　　　不要抱怨你的失敗；
如果你能迫使自己，
　　　　在別人走后，長久堅守陣地，
　　　　在你心中已空蕩蕩無一物’
　　　　只有意志告訴你“堅持！”；

如果你與人交談，能保持風度，
　　　　伴王行走，能保持距離；
如果仇敵和好友都不害你；
如果所有人都指望你，卻無人全心全意；
如果你花六十秒進行短程跑，
　　　　填滿那不可饒恕的一分鐘——
你就可以擁有一個世界，
　　　　這個世界的一切都是你的，
更重要的是，孩子，你是個頂天立地的人。
