What makes a man?
---Hamlin Garland
Do you fear the force of the wind 你可害怕寒風(fēng)凜冽,
The slash of the rain? 你可畏懼大雨滂沱
Go face them and fight them, 去迎著風(fēng)雨努力拼搏
Be savage again .還你原始本色
Go hungry and cold like the wolf 象狼一樣去經(jīng)受饑寒
Go wade like the crane. 象鶴一般去跋涉河川
The palms of your hands will thicken, 你的手掌變得厚實(shí)粗壯
The skin of your cheeks will tan 你的臉龐曬得古銅發(fā)亮
You’ll grow ragged and weary and swarthy,你會(huì)變得衣衫襤褸，皮膚黝黑，疲憊不堪，
But you will walk like a man! 但你步履沉穩(wěn)，是個(gè)堂堂男子漢！
