Carry On! 坚持
by Robert William Service
伯特·威廉·塞维斯
It's easy to fight when everything's right,
当一切顺顺当当战斗真易如反掌，
And you're mad with the thrill and the glory;
激动和荣誉使你如痴似狂；
It's easy to cheer when victory's near,
当胜利在望，谁不感到兴奋，
And wallow in fields that are gory.
在血迹斑斑的战场上打滚？
It's a different song when everything's wrong,
当一切都不顺手，调子就不一样；
When you're feeling infernally mortal;
当你感到死到临头，
When it's ten against one, and hope there is none,
当你以一对十，毫无希望，
Buck up, little soldier, and chortle:
振作起来，小兵，放生歌唱。
Carry on! Carry on!
坚持下去！坚持下去！
There isn't much punch in your blow.
你的拳头为何软弱无力？你在张皇四顾，盲目出击，
You're muddy and bloody, but never you mind.
你浑身泥泞血污；可是，不要管它。
Carry on! Carry on!
坚持下去！坚持下去！
You haven't the ghost of a show.
你还不曾有过一丁点儿表现的机会。
It's looking like death, but while you've a breath,
即使要付出生命；可是，只要一息尚存，
Carry on, my son! Carry on!
坚持下去！孩子，坚持下去！
And so in the strife of the battle of life
人生的战斗也是这样，
It's easy to fight when you're winning;
得手时战斗易如反掌；
It's easy to slave, and starve and be brave, when the dawn of success is beginning.
当胜利的曙光在望，你不畏劳苦，忍饥挨饿，依然勇往直前。
But the man who can meet despair and defeat
唯有上帝的宠儿，
With a cheer, there's the man of God's choosing;
才能屡经挫折而气不馁；
The man who can fight to Heaven's own height
唯有斗志冲霄汉，
Is the man who can fight when he's losing.
才能虽败犹斗。
Carry on! Carry on!
坚持下去！坚持下去！
Things never were looming so black.
虽然道路艰险，前所未见
But show that you haven't a cowardly streak,
壮起胆来，证明你毫无怯意。
And through you're unlucky you never are weak.
你虽不走运，却从不软弱。
Carry on! Carry on!
坚持下去！坚持下去！
Brace up for another attack.
振作精神迎接第二次攻击。
It's looking like hell, but—you never can tell:
即使进地狱——可是谁又能说得准，
Carry on, old man! Carry on!
坚持下去！朋友，坚持下去！
There are some who drift out in the deserts of doubt,
有些人在疑虑的沙漠里彷徨，
And some who in brutishness wallow;
有些人在残忍的泥沼里打滚；
There are others, I know, who in piety go
但也有人，我知道，一片虔诚，
Because of a Heaven to follow.
因为有上帝可以追随。
But to labor with zest, and to give of your best,
热情地劳动，竭诚地助人，
For the sweetness and joy of the giving;
以求施予的欢乐和甜蜜。
To help folks along with a hand and a song;
伸出手来，用歌声鼓励人们前进，
Why, there's the real sunshine of living.
啊，这是生命的真正的阳光。
Carry on! Carry on!
坚持下去！坚持下去！
Fight the good fight and true;
为善而斗争，为真理而斗争；
Believe in your mission, greet life with a cheer;
对你的使命要有信心，要用欢呼迎接生活；
There's big work to do, and that's why you are here.
你活在世上，就是为了艰巨的工作。
Carry on! Carry on!
坚持下去！坚持下去！
Let the world be the better for you;
让世界因你而变得更美好。
And at last when you die, let this be your cry;
最后当你离开人世，这就是你的口号：
Carry on, my soul! Carry on!
坚持下去，我的灵魂，坚持下去
