1、 英语听力练习：做一名进攻型战士第24篇：Be a Fighter 做一名进攻型战士 A young friend of mine asked me in a letter, “What kind of man should I be?“ My answer was, “Be a fighter.“ 一个年轻的朋友写信问我：“应当做一个什么样的人?“我答复他：“做一个战士。” Another friend of mine inquired, “How should I live my life?“ Again my answer was, “Be a fighter.“ 另一个朋友问我：“怎样
2、应付生活了，我照旧答道：“做一个战士。” The author of In Praise of the Fighter says: 战士颂的曾经写过这样的话： Riding on the ceaseless rushing torrent of life, I should pursue and overtake it so as to create an even greater and deeper torrent of my own. “我激荡在这绵绵不息、滂沱四方的生命洪流中，我就应当追赶这洪流，而且追过它，自己去造更广、更深的洪流。” If I were a lamp, it wou
3、ld be my duty to light up thick darkness. If I were the sea tide, I would marshal rolling waves to cleanse the beach of all accumulated filth. “我假如是一盏灯，这灯的用处便是照彻那多量的黑暗。我假如是海潮，便要鼓起波涛去洗涤海边一切陈腐的积物。” This quotation reflects aptly the state of mind of a lighter. 这一段话很恰当地写出了战士的心情。 Fighters are badly neede
4、d in our time. But such fighters do not necessarily go to the battle- field with gun in hand. Their weapons are not necessarily bullets. Their weapons may be knowledge, faith and strong will. They can bring the enemy sure death without drawing his blood. 在这个时代，战士是最需要的。但是这样的战士并不肯定要持枪上战场。他的武器也下肯定是枪弹。他
5、的武器还可以是学问、信仰和顽强的意志。他并不肯定要流仇敌的血，却能更有把握地致敌人的死命，战士是永久追求光明的。 A fighter is always in pursuit of light. Instead of basking in the sunshine under a clear sky, he holds a burning torch in the darkness of night to illuminate people”s way so that they can continue their journey till they see the dawn of a new
6、 day. It is the task of a fighter to dispel darkness. Instead of shirking darkness, he braves it and fights the hidden demons and monsters therein. He is determined to wipe them out and win light. He knows no compromise. He will keep on fighting until he wins light. 他并不躺在晴空下享受阳光，在晴夜里燃起火炬，给人们照亮道路，使他们
7、走向拂晓。驱散黑暗，这是战士的任务。他不躲避黑暗，却要面对黑暗，跟隐藏在阴影里的魑魅、魍魉搏斗。他要毁灭它们而取得光明。战士是不知道妥协的。他得不到光明便不会停顿战斗。 A fighter is perennially young. He is never irresolute or inactive. He plunges deep into teeming crowds in search of such vermin as flies and venomous mosquitoes. He will fight them relentlessly and refuse to coexis
8、t with them under the same sky. To him, life means nothing but continuous fighting. He either survives by winning light, or perishes with his body covered all over with cuts and bruises. In the course of the struggle, it is the “future“ that serves as the beacon light to him; the “future“ gives peop
9、le hope and inspiration. He will never lose his youthful vigour. 战士永久是年轻的。他不迟疑，不休息。他深入人丛中，找寻苍蝇、毒蚊等等危害人类的东西。他不断地攻击它们，不愿与它们共同生存在一个天空下面，对于战士，生活就是不停的战斗，他不是取得光明而牛存，便是带着满身伤痕而死去。在战斗中力气只有增长，信仰只有加强，在战斗中给战士指路的是“将来”，“将来”给人以盼望和鼓舞。战士永久不会失去青春的活力。 A fighter will never lose heart or despair. He will pile up broken
10、pieces of brick and stone to rebuild a nine-story pagoda on the ruins of failure. No blows will ever break his will. He will never close his eyes until he has breathed his last. 战士是不知道灰心与无望的。他甚至在失败的废墟上，还要堆起破裂的砖石重建九级宝塔。任何打击都不能击破战士的意志。只有在死的时候他才闭上眼睛。 A fighter is always fearless. His steps are firm. On
11、ce he has settled on an objective, he will press right ahead. He is never afraid of being tripped by a stumbling block. No obstacles will ever make him change his mind. His eyes will never be hoodwinked by false appearances. His actions are guided by faith. He can endure any hardships or sufferings
12、while striving to attain his chosen objective. He will never abandon work as long as he is alive. 战士是不知道畏缩的，他的脚步很坚决。一旦他认准目标，便会向前走去。他不怕被绊脚石摔倒，没有一种障碍能使他转变心思，假象绝不能迷住战士的眼睛，支配战士的行动的是信仰。他能够忍受一切困难、苦痛，而到达他所选定的目标。除非他死，否则他决不放弃工作。 This is the kind of fighter we now need. He is not necessarily possessed of supe
13、rhuman capability. He is just an ordinary person. Anyone can be a fighter so long as he has the determination. Hence a few words of mine about “being a fighter“ to encourage those young people who wander about in a depressed state, not knowing which way to go. 这便是我们现在需要的战士。这样的战士并不肯定具有超人的力量。他是一个平凡的人。每个人都可以做战士，只要他有决心。所以我用“做一个进攻型的战士”来鼓励那些还在苦闷中彷徨，不知何去何从的年轻朋友。
