The Way to Success First
成功之路
No one has the exclusive way to success. Some say money. Some say love. Others say a house, a car, a child, a degree from a top university—but all are of these are only outward ways to show others that we’re successful. People think that they must have these things before they can be happy, but Scott Achor in “The Happiness Advantage” says that the opposite is true. Achor, who is a professor at Harvard University and who has been teaching the “Happiness Course” for fifteen years, recently wrote this book to show that happiness breeds success, not the other way around. When I read it, it struck a chord with me and I realized that truly positive, happy people always seem to love what they do and who they are with. Even if times get tough, they don’t knuckle under. They persevere and overcome all obstacles.
没有人的成功途径是唯一的。有人说是钱。有人说是爱情。还有人说，房子，车子，孩子，顶尖大学学位，但所有这些都只是显示自己成功了的外表。人们认为他们必须拥有这些东西后才会开心，但斯科特•阿克尔在“幸福的优势”中说反过来也是正确的。阿克尔是哈佛大学教授，他教了十五年的“幸福课”，最近写的一本书中表明快乐孕育着成功，而不是其他的方法。当我读它的时候，它打动了我，我也意识到真正积极的，快乐的人似乎总是喜欢他们所做的事以及他们身边的人。即使面临困难的时候，他们也不屈服。他们坚持不懈地克服所有的障碍。
To me, the way to success is to figure out what you truly believe in and love in life. You should write up a mission statement about how you can contribute to the world by doing what is meaningful to you. Then, you should go after your dream—no matter what it is or if it fits society’s version of a successful reality. Set goals, divide them into specific tasks, learn what you need to learn, do what you need to do and always keep the prize in mind. The way to success is to have a clear vision of your future and know what will make you happy. If you are doing what you love, with people that you care about, and making a meaningful contribution to the world, you will not only be happy, but you will be successful.
对我来说，成功的方法就是找出你在生活中真正相信的和爱的。你应该写好陈述词来说明通过做对你有意义的事情你要如何对社会做贡献。然后，你应该去追求你的【纵览全球英语资讯、洞察全球英文信息，尽在英语翻译学习网（enfanyi.com）你的全球英语指南】梦想，不管它是什么，或是否符合社会版本的成功的现实。设定目标，把它们划分为特定的任务，学习你需要学习的东西，你需要做什么，始终保持头脑奖。成功的方法是对你未来的一个清晰的愿景并知道什么会让你快乐。如果你正在和你关心的人做你所喜爱的事，对世界做出有意义的贡献，你将不仅仅只是快乐的，而且你一定会成功的。
解析：
这是一篇议论文。结构非常清晰，首先由Achor教授提出的success与happiness之间的关系，暗示了自己对于成功的解读。第二段，告诉读者the way to success的具体几个步骤：Set goals, divide them into specific tasks, learn what you need to learn, do what you need to do and always keep the prize in mind. 与中式思维产出的英语文章相比，此文行文流畅深刻，说理充分，很有背诵的必要。但唯一的不足之处就是，字数超过了考题要求⊙﹏⊙b。
