Where there is a will, there is a way. This proverb means that if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will (1) eventually（最后）find away to do it well. The (2) premier point is that you must have the will to achievesuccess.
有志者事竟成。这句谚语的意思是，如果你真的下定决心去做某件事，不管它有多困难，你最终会找到办法把它做好。首要的一点是，你必须有意愿取得成功。
Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strong will involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any (3) endeavor to achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuse to explain the situation away.
百分之九十的失败都是因为没有强大的意志。许多人只是简单地说他们想要一些东西，但他们并没有努力去实现它。所以，他们没有得到它，而是用最糟糕的借口来解释情况。
On many occasions, people tend to (4) bypass (绕过) every minute obstacle,making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will- to succeed,they can get rid of the(5)handicaps and achieve their goals.
在许多情况下，人们往往（4）绕过（绕过）每一分钟的障碍，使目标无法实现。事实上，如果他们有成功的意愿，他们可以摆脱障碍，实现他们的目标。
Only those with a(n) (6) committed (坚定的) and focused will and spirit can fight their way to final victory. Many a famous man has the same experience. They have (7)attained (获得，达到) their prestige because they have had the will to (8)transcend apparently insuperable (无法克服的) obstacles. Many artists, statesmen,writers and inventors have managed to succeed because they possess a fierce will,which has helped them to accomplish major(9) feats (业绩) .
只有那些有（6）决心（坚定的）和专注的意志和精神的人才能努力取得最终胜利。许多名人都有同样的经历。他们（7）获得（获得，达到）他们的声望，因为他们有（8）超越显然无法克服（无法克服的）障碍的意志。许多艺术家、政治家、作家和发明家之所以成功，是因为他们有着强烈的意志，这有助于他们完成重大的（9）壮举。
Therefore, we can see that the main thing which one needs is a strong will. Weak-willed people never climb to the top. They collapse at the(10) slightest（稍微） use of force against them. Strong-willed people, on the other hand, will stand up against all odds and will make it a point to succeed.
因此，我们可以看到，一个人需要的主要是一个坚强的意志。意志薄弱的人永远不会爬上顶峰。只要稍微用力一点，它们就会倒塌。另一方面，意志坚强的人会与所有古怪的人站在一起，这将成为成功的关键。

为了解决这个问题，我想（7）挑战你，争取更多地关注别人，而不是过分地关注自己。

But if you begin to build a new response, in (9) __reaction___ to your fears, you will gradually build up a stronger and more positive response.

The American economy is built on credit. In the last decade, however, cheap credit made it too easy for people to buy houses based on pure speculation（投机活动） that real estate（房地产） value would endlessly continue to increase. But the housing (1) slump (暴跌)set off a chain reaction in our economy. Individuals and investors could no longer resell their homes for a quick profit, (2) mortgages (抵押) no longer became affordable for many homeowners, and thousands of mortgages defaulted（违约）, leaving investors and financial institutions to face the terrible consequences.
美国经济是建立在信贷基础上的。然而，在过去的十年里，廉价信贷使得人们很容易购买房屋，纯粹是基于房地产价值将不断增加的猜测。但房地产市场的暴跌在我们的经济中引发了连锁反应。个人和投资者不可能为了快速获利而长久地出售他们的房子，（2）抵押贷款（抵押）对许多房主来说不再负担得起，成千上万的抵押贷款违约，使得投资者和金融机构面临可怕的后果。
Ironic, isn't it? Yes, it is true that credit got us into this mess, but it is also true that our economy is (3) incredibly ( 极其) unstable right now, and being that it is built on credit, it needs an inflow of cash or it could come (4)crashing down (萧条) . This is something no one wants to see as it would (5) spread (传播 ) through our economyand into the world markets in a matter of hours, potentially causing a worldwiderecession.
讽刺的是，不是吗？是的，信贷确实让我们陷入了这种混乱，但我们的经济现在确实非常不稳定，而且由于它是建立在信贷基础上的，它需要现金流入，否则就会崩溃。这是没有人希望看到的，因为它会（5）传播（传播）通过我们的经济，并在几个小时内进入世
界市场，可能导致世界范围的割让。
Credit in and of itself is not a bad thing. Credit (6) promotes ( 保证) growth and jobs. Poor use of credit, however, can be (7) catastrophic (灾难的) , which is what we are on the (8) verge 范围of seeing now. So long as the rescue plan comes with changes to lending regulations and more (9) oversight (监督 ) of the industry,there is potential to (10) stabilize (使稳定) the market, which is what everyonewants. Whether or not it works is to be seen, but as it has already been voted on andpassed, we should all hope it does.
信用本身并不是一件坏事。信贷（6）促进（保证）增长和就业。然而，信贷的不良使用可能是灾难性的，这正是我们现在看到的边缘范围。只要救援计划随着贷款法规的变化和对行业的更多监督（监督）而出台，就有可能（10）稳定（使稳定）市场，这是每个人都要做的。不管它是否有效，我们都应该看到，但由于它已经被投票通过，我们都应该希望它能成功。

Laughter is a(n) (1) automatic (无意识的) response to being touched by a tickle (瘙痒)- a reaction that a child would naturally be provoked into. This puts the tickler in (2) charge of (控制) how much or how long the child laughs. We adults don't read children's minds, but we often have a (3) presumption (推测) that we can.So we usually think we're aware of what's too much tickling and when to stop. But it is possible to trap our children without knowing it. We parents become (4)attached to (依附) tickling because it seems to be a (5) handy shortcut (捷径) to
laughter. We wish that our children are happy and love us, and tickling becomes ourshortcut to get assured.
笑是一种（1）自动（无意识的）对被挠痒痒（tickle）触摸的反应——一种孩子自然会被激怒的反应。这就让挑战者（2）负责（控制）孩子笑了多少或多长时间。我们成年后不会阅读儿童的思想，但我们经常有一个可以的假设（推估）。所以我们通常认为我们知道什么是太多的挠痒和什么时候停止。但是我们可能会在不知道的情况下诱捕我们的孩子。我们父母变得（4）依附于（依附）滴答声，因为它似乎是一个（5）便利的捷径（小径）tolaughter。我们希望我们的孩子们快乐并且爱我们，挠痒痒成为我们得到保证的捷径。
Rather than forcing laughter in this way, we can (6) confer upon (树立) them inner confidence if we will get down on the floor and invite them to be in playful physical(7) contact with (联系) us. If we find ways to give them much of the power,our children will laugh and laugh. Games like \"I have a hundred hugs for you!\" or\"Where's Jared? I know he's around here somewhere.\" or \"Oh, no! I can't get this horsy rider off my back!\" let children laugh and laugh as we try to catch them, or try tofind them, or try to (8) bounce them (晃动) off our backs, and fail over and over.
与其用这种方式强迫人们笑，我们还不如让他们在地板上坐下来，邀请他们和我们打交道，让他们对我们充满信心。如果我们想办法给他们更多的权力，我们的孩子就会笑。像“我有一百个拥抱给你！”或者“贾里德在哪里？”我知道他在这附近。“或者”哦，不！我不能让这个可怕的骑手从我背上下来！”当我们试图抓住他们时，让孩子们笑吧，或者试着找到他们，或者试着把他们从我们的背上弹下来，然后一次又一次地失败。
The physical contact that requires more creativity than tickling allows us to(9) tumble around (打滚) , to press our heads against their stomachs here and therefor a second, and to manage an embrace before they make another daring escape.We get our affection across without trapping our children. And we give them a chance to be inventive as they use their (10) intellect (智力) to figure out a hundred ways to outsmart us.
身体上的接触比挠痒痒需要更多的创造力，让我们可以（9）翻滚（打滚），把我们的头贴在他们的肚子上，在他们再次大胆逃脱之前，我们可以在不困住我们的孩子的情况下拥抱他们。我们给了他们一个创造的机会，因为他们用他们的智力（智力）想出了100条比我们更聪明的方法。
