[转]特蕾莎修女的忠告 

 人们经常是不讲道理的、没有逻辑的和以自我为中心的

不管怎样，你要原谅他们

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.  

即使你是友善的，人们可能还是会说你自私和动机不良

不管怎样，你还是要友善

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.  

当你功成名就，你会有一些虚假的朋友

和一些真实的敌人。不管怎样，你还是要取得成功

If you are successful, you will win some false friends

And some true enemies;

Succeed anyway.  

即使你是诚实的和率直的，人们可能还是会欺骗你

不管怎样，你还是要诚实和率直

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.  

你多年来营造的东西

有人在一夜之间把它摧毁

不管怎样，你还是要去营造

What you spend years building,

Someone could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.  

如果你找到了平静和幸福，他们可能会嫉妒你

不管怎样，你还是要快乐

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.  

你今天做的善事，人们往往明天就会忘记

不管怎样，你还是要做善事

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

Be good anyway.  

即使把你最好的东西给了这个世界

也许这些东西永远都不够

不管怎样，把你最好的东西给这个世界

Give the world the best you have,

And it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you have anyway.  

你看，说到底，它是你和上帝之间的事

而决不是你和他人之间的事

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;

It is never between you and them anyway.
