英语翻译
I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school.I
lived a casual life,without caring about the future.I smoked,drank with friends and
made girl friends.Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss.
Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FAIL in
more than half the subjects.I didn't care,at least not till my dad found out about it.
You see,I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected
to finance their own education,my dad financed me.
Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking.He lost his temper
but he just told me,"Son,your allowance is cut in half from this moment on".It hit me
like a roundhouse kick (回旋踢) from Bruce Lee.I was jolted (震摇) out of my bones!
I couldn't comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college.I owed
everybody money:the grocery store,the bars,the restaurants,my friends,etc.I was living
a life filled with credit.
When I went back to college,I knew that if I don't change the way I live my life I
won't be able to pay everybody off.So I decided to make some changes,drastic changes.
I quit smoking,cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road,starting hanging
out in libraries and reading my engineering books.
One year later,I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude (优等成绩).Life
was never the same again .This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take
action and do something about it,however small or large.Even today it still motivates me
when I feel that I'm about to lose or give up.It reminds me that I can do it!
我始终记得我在工程学院做学生时的日子.我过得很随意,不去考虑未来.我和朋友抽烟,喝酒,还交各种女朋友.我一点都没意识到这种悠闲地生活会导致我日后的失败.
两年后,我得到了一张有一半课程都挂科的成绩单.我不在乎,直到我爸爸发现了它.你瞧,我在印度上学,和在美国上学的你们不同,我的经济来源是我爸.
之后,我爸发现了我还抽烟,他快失去理智了.说:你的生活费现在只剩一半了.这句话就像李小龙的回旋踢一样,让我晕眩了.我不知道要怎么度过我剩下的大学生涯.我欠所有人钱:杂货铺,酒吧,饭店,朋友.我生活在各种欠条中.
当我回学校后,我发现如果我不改变我的生活方式,我还不了他们钱.所以我决定做些改变,巨大的改变.我戒了烟,戒了那些狐朋狗友,开始跟图书馆和专业课本度日.
一年之后,我从无法想象的失败成绩变成了优等成绩.生活整个不一样了.这件事让我知道了,只要你做,不管大事小事,没有什么是不可能的.即使到今天,当我想放弃或感到失意时,它仍旧激励着我.让我知道,我能做到.
