RISK|冒 险

[英语美文]

To laugh is to risk being a fool ,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental;
To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To express feelings is to risk exposing your true self;
To place your ideals, your dreams
Before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To live is to risk dying;
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failing.
The person who risks nothing does nothing,
Has nothing and is nothing


嘲笑别人会显得傻冒,
落眼泪又像多愁善感;
接近别人也许会陷进去,
诉说心事可能暴露真我;
向众人展示的理想也许只是梦想
爱也许得不到回报,
生面临死的威胁;
希望要面对失望,
一切努力都有可能失败。
但什么险都不冒、什么事都不做的人,
必将一无所有,一事无成。
