钥匙上的铭文：如果休息，我就会生锈

NOSL746

The significant1words found on an old key —"If I rest, I will rust"—would be anexcellent motto for those who are lazy.
在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果休息,我就会生锈。对于那些懒散的人来说,这是一句至理名言。
Even the most diligentperson might adopt it as a reminder. If one allows his abilities to rest, likethe iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust, and, finally,cannot do the work required of them.
甚至最为勤勉的人也以此为座右铭:如果一个人有才能却不去运用它们,这些才能很快就会像废弃的钥匙一样锈迹斑斑,最终无法完成自己肩负的工作。
Those who wishto climb to great heights must constantly keep their abilities in use, so thatthey may unlock the doors to knowledge.
要想取得卓越的成就,就必须不断运用自身的才智,这样知识的大门才会向你敞开。
Diligence keepsthe key that opens the treasury of achievement bright. If Hugh Miller, afterworking hard all day in a mine, had devoted his evenings to rest andrelaxation, he would never have become a famous geologist4. The famousmathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have found the key to the science ofmathematics if he had given his spare moments to idleness. If the youngScottish man, Ferguson, had allowed his busy brain to go to sleep while hetended sheep on the hillside instead of measuring the positions of the stars,he would never have become a distinguished astronomer ..
勤奋令开启成功宝库的钥匙恒久闪亮。如果休·米勒在采石场一整天的辛苦劳作后,将晚上的时光用于休息和消遣,他将不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。如果著名数学家爱德蒙·斯通在闲暇之时无所事事,又怎会发现开启数学之门的钥匙？如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时让他活跃的大脑休息放松,而不是计算星星的位置,就不会成为一名杰出的天文学家……
.Labor conquersall: not inconsistent or ill-directed labor, but faithful and unstopping dailyeffort, toward a well-directed purpose. Eternal diligence is the price of nobleand enduring success.
劳动可以征服一切——当然,这里指的不是那些半途而废、方向错误的劳动,而是坚定执著、方向正确、日复一日的辛苦耕耘。只有坚持不懈的勤奋,才能确保卓越而持久的成功。
