  • Happiness lies not in the mere1 possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, 幸福并不在于单纯地占有金钱;幸福还在于取得成就后的喜悦,在于创造努力时的激情。

    the joy and moral stimulation2 of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. 务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励,而去疯狂地追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。

    These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, 如果这些暗淡的时日能使我们认识到,我们真正的天命不是要别人侍奉,

    if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to, but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men. 而是为自己和同胞们服务,那么,我们付出的代价就完全是值得的。

    Recognition of the falsity of material wealth as the standard of success 认识到把物质财富当作成功的标准是错误的,

    goes hand in hand with the abandonment of a false belief that 我们就会抛弃以地位尊严和个人收益为唯一标准,

    public office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profits, 来衡量公职和高级政治地位的错误信念;

    and there must be an end to our conduct in banking3 and in business, 我们必须制止银行界和企业界的一种行为,

    which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness4 of callous5 and selfish wrong-doing. 它常常使神圣的委托混同于无情和自私的不正当行为。

    Small wonder that confidence languishes6, for it thrives only on honesty, 难怪信心在减弱,信心,只有靠诚实、

    on honor, on the sacredness of our obligation, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. 信誉、忠心维护和无私履行职责。

    Without them it cannot live. 而没有这些,就不可能有信心。
