课文文本：

Begin Again

To begin again means thatyou won't give up.

To begin again means you'retrying.

You can either start over（=start again）and live yourlife

Or spend the rest of yourlife slowly dying.

It is never the fallingthat makes us fail.

It is never the pain or thecrying.

You can never fail in life,my friend,

Unless you give up trying.

---- BobPerks

It seems lately that more and more of myfriends are facing some seemingly insurmountable challenges in their lives. Afew have lost their jobs and some have failed marriages. All too many(太多的) have health issues or are battling cancer.

I don't know if it isdesperation that causes them to turn to me for advice or whether they have cometo value our friendship. But it is difficult, to say the least（至少/起码可以说）, to offer words ofhope when all they feel is hopelessness. They expect answers, some magic wavingof a wand（魔杖）, or a roadmap to get them back on theirfeet again.

I have often struggled withwhat to say. Mostly because I have faced many of the same challenges in my ownlife, I remember how empty I felt after someone cheerfully offered words like,"Keep your chin up（别灰心/别丧失勇气）!" "Things will get better!" "Hang in（坚持下去）there!" "It's always darkest…,"etc.

Yes, even those who were quick to quote theBible to me found me quite unreceptive（不易接受的）at the time.

Now, as an inspiration（励志，激励，灵感）writer, being thought of（认为，想起） as a resource of hope or a good (or bad) example of what to do inlife, I have even more people contacting me.

So, what do I say?

"What can I do, Bob? I've lost my job.What do you suggest?"

"Begin again."

"He walked out on（抛弃，离开）me. My whole world just ended. What should Ido?"

"Begin again."

"Bob, I know both your son and yourwife had cancer. I found out my wife does, too. What did you tell them?"

"Begin again."

It almost sounds toosimple. I imagine in the darkest hours of one's life, those words would seemuseless or uncaring. But it is indeed the answer.

All life challenges bring about（导致）an ending - and the chance for a beginning. A jobloss presents an opportunity to start over somewhere else and maybe even inanother career.

A failed marriage does notmean you are through（with结束，完成） loving or being loved. It means there are others just like youneeding to be loved. Find them.

A life-threatening disease does not meangiving up. It means starting a new path to recovery and discovering withinyourself the ability to fight back(抵抗，反击，强忍) and win.

And if you are a person of faith, evendeath does not mean it's over. It means, "to begin again."

课文翻译

重新开始

要重新开始就意味着你不会放弃

要重新开始意味着你正在努力

你可以重新开始过你的生活

也可以慢慢地陨落，度过余生

让我们失败的永远不会是挫折本身

也不会是痛苦或是哭泣

你永远不会失败的，我的朋友

除非你放弃了尝试

——鲍勃.珀克斯

最近似乎有越来越多的朋友们都面临着生活中一些看似不可克服的挑战。有几个已经失去了工作，有几个遭遇了失败的婚姻，还有许多有着健康问题或正在与癌症抗争。

我不知道，是绝望迫使他们向我寻求建议，还是他们来考验我们之间的友谊的。但当他们所能感受到的尽是绝望时，我很难为他们说上几句充满希望的话语。他们期望答案，期待着魔杖挥舞的奇迹或者是可以让他们重新振作起来的一张路线图。

我经常纠结不知道说什么才好。大多是由于我自己的生活中也曾面临过许多相同的挑战，我至今还记得，当别人善意地安慰我“振作一点”“一切会好起来的”“坚持住”“人生总会有某些最黑暗的时刻……”等话语时，我是多么的空虚。

即使是那些能迅速地从《圣经》里引用原话来安慰的人也发现我当时是多么的无动于衷。

如今作为一名励志作家，被人当作生活中希望的源泉或模范化身的我，要接触更多联系我寻求帮助的人群。

所以，我该说什么呢?

“我能做什么呢，鲍勃?我失去了我的工作。你有什么建议吗?”

“重新开始!”

“他抛弃了我。我的整个世界都塌了。我该怎么办?”

“重新开始!”

“鲍勃，我知道你的儿子和你的妻子都得了癌症。我发现我盼妻子也得了癌症。你当时怎么告诉他们的?”

“重新开始!”

这个答案似乎听起来过于简单。我设想，在人生最黑暗的时刻，这些话似乎毫无用处或显得漠不关心。但它确实是答案。

所有的人生挑战都会带来一个结束，也会带来一种重新开始的机遇。失去工作为你提供了在别处重新开始的机会，或许是让你重新开始另一种职业生涯的机会。

婚姻失败并不意味着你没有爱或被爱的能力。它意味着还有其他许多像你一样的人需要被关爱。去找他们吧。

一种致命的疾病并不是要你放弃。它意味着开始一段崭新的康复之路，从中发现自己抗击并打败它的内在潜能。

如果你是一个有信仰的人，死亡对于你而言也不会意味着结束。它意味着“重生”。

陶老师：

每日寄语，基础差，底子薄，就要好好补补才行

世上从没有白费的努力，也没有碰巧的成功。很多看似撞大运的成功，往往是源于曾经一段看不到光明的努力付出。而很多现在看似倒霉的失意，也可能是多年前因畏难而没能认真努力地对待一件事。这个世界上最能给人安全感的，除了银行卡里的钱，就是你为生活流下的汗。
