3.Be the Best of Whatever You Are
3.做最好的自己
If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
如果你當不了山巔的一棵勁松，
Be a scrub in the valley-but be
就做山谷里的灌木--但一定
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
要做溪邊最棒的一棵；
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
估一棵灌木，如果你成不了樹。
If you can't be a bush be a bit of grass,
如果你當不了灌木，就做一株小草，
And some highway happier make;
給路邊帶去更多歡笑；
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass-
如果你當不了大梭魚，就做一尾小鱸魚
But the liveliest bass in the lake!
--但要做湖里最活潑的那條！
We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
我們不能全當船長，總得有人做船員，
There's something for all of us here.
但我們每個人都有事可做，
There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,
有大事去做，有小事去做，
And the task you must do is the near.
我們必須著眼于眼前。
If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
如果你當不了大道，就做一條小徑，
If you can't be the sun be a star;
如果你當不了太陽，就做一顆星星；
It isn't by size that you win or you fail-
勝負不在于大小--
Be the best of whatever you are!
不論做什么，一定要做到最好！
