以Success為題的英語作文
Success
Success is a lousy (very bad) teacher. It seduces (tempt) smart people into thinking they can’t lose. And it’s an unreliable guide to the future. What seems the perfect business plan or latest technology today may soon be out-of-date.
Usually winning lottery (彩票) is thought to be one’s luck. Many people like to try their luck.
One of the lottery’s new millionaires gave an interview on television. When he was asked by the reporter how he had picked his winning numbers, he said that while “two of the six numbers he just pulled for no particular reason.” As for the other four numbers, he used family birth dates. “ So, you see,” he boasted(自夸), “Winning the lottery is not all just luck.”
【參考譯文】
成功是一個(gè)差勁的老師。它引誘聰明人認(rèn)為他們不會(huì)輸。這是一個(gè)不可靠的未來指南。看來完美的商業(yè)計(jì)劃或最新的技術(shù)可能很快過時(shí)。
通常中獎(jiǎng)(彩票)被認(rèn)為是一種運(yùn)氣。許多人喜歡碰碰運(yùn)氣。
彩票中的一位新百萬富翁在電視上接受了采訪。當(dāng)記者問到他是如何挑選中獎(jiǎng)號(hào)碼的時(shí)候，他說，“他沒有特別的理由就只投了六個(gè)號(hào)碼中的兩個(gè)”，至于其他四個(gè)數(shù)字，他使用了家庭出生日期。“所以，你看，”他說，“彩票是不只是運(yùn)氣。”
