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!
如果你与人交谈,能保持风度,
伴王行走,能保持距离;
如果仇敌和好友都不害你;
如果所有人都指望你,却无人全心全意;
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。
