译文参考
如果
如果周围的人失去理智，纷纷责难于你，
而你能淡定处之；
如果所有人都对你心存猜忌，
你却能自信不改，并体谅他们的猜忌；
如果你能等待时机，不急不躁，
或遭人诽谤，却不以牙还牙，
或遭人憎恨，却不以怨报怨，
既不装腔作势，亦不花言巧语；
如果你能与平庸之辈为伍，却不随波逐流，
或出将入相，而面无谄媚之色；
如果致命死敌或至亲之人都无法伤害你；
如果众人都对你信赖有加，又不寄生于你；
如果你能珍惜每寸逝去便不再回的光阴，
把每分每秒用到极致——
那么，你的成就会如天地一样博大，
更重要的是，我的孩子，你就是一个顶天立地的人了!
（节选自鲁德亚德·吉卜林的《如果》）
What is the poem about?
According to Kipling, what qualities does his son need to “be a Man”? Tick those mentioned in the poem and add your own ideas.
Which of these qualities are most important to you as you grow up?
The poem is a father’s advice to his son about the qualities needed to become a virtuous or good man.
If -
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting.
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or. being hated. don't give way to hating.
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings -nor lose the common touch:
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run-
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
（EscerpEs framir-by Eudyard Kipling）
