英语美文：给年轻人的忠告 Remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you must work. If you look around you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest. Don”t be afraid of killing yourself with overwork. It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes, but it is because they quit work at six in the evening, and do not go home until two in the morning. It’s the interval that kills, my son. The work gives you an appetite for your meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers, it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday. 谨记，我的年轻人，你们必需工作．不管你是使锄头还是用笔，也不管是推手推车还是编记账簿，也不管你是种地还是编辑报纸，是拍卖师亦或是作家，都必需有一份工作， 并为之努力奋斗．假如认真观看四周的人，你就会发觉，那些工作最努力的人最有可能安享晚年而无须去工作．不要可怕超负荷的工作会缩短你的寿命，缺乏三十岁 的年龄，你的承受力量远不止如此．假如说真的有人过早送命，那完全是由于他们在晚上六点完毕工作，却要在外流连到凌晨两点才归家．我的年轻人，正是晚上六 点到凌晨两点的这段时间的生活毁了他们自己．工作会增加你的食欲，工作会使你安稳入睡，工作将会使你心满足足地享受假日。

There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not know their names, even it simply speaks of them as “old So-and-So’s boy”. Nobody likes them; the great, busy world doesn’t know that they are there. So find out what you want to be and do, and take off your coat and make a dust in the world. The busier you are, the less harm you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will the world be with you. 有的年轻人不工作，但世界并不会因他们骄傲。

它不知道他们的姓名，甚至简洁地将他们概括为“老令人厌烦者的男孩 ” 没有人喜爱他们;宏大，繁忙的世界不知道他们在那里因此，找出哪些你想成为和做的，脱下你的外衣，把粉尘抛在世界上越是繁忙的你越是少受损害，甜美 将成为您的睡眠，光明和幸福着您的假期，更好地满意你的意志世界 。
