What Makes a Man

Hamlin Garland

寒風，暴雨，孤寂。。。這一切的不如意讓人沮喪，然而，換個角度，正是這些曆練，讓我們變得更堅強。。。 

Do you fear the force of the wind
The slash of the rain?
Go face them and fight them,
Be savage again .
Go hungry and cold like the wolf
Go wade like the crane.
The palms of your hands will thicken,
The skin of your cheeks will tan
You’ll grow ragged and weary and swarthy,
But you will walk like a man!

你可害怕寒風凜冽,
你可畏懼大雨滂沱
去迎着風雨努力拼搏
還你原始本色
象狼一樣去經受饑寒
象鶴一般去跋涉河川
你的手掌變得厚實粗壯
 你的臉龐曬得古銅發亮
 你會變得衣衫褴褛，皮膚黝黑，疲憊不堪，
 但你步履沉穩，是個堂堂男子漢！
