　　I will laugh at the world.

　　我要笑遍世界。

　　I will paint this day with laughter; I will frame this night in song. Never will I labor to be happy; rather will I remain too busy to be sad. I will enjoy today's happiness today. It is not grain to be stored in a box. It is not wine to be saved in a jar. It cannot be saved for the morrow. It must be sown and reaped on the same day and this I will do, hence forth.

　　我要用笑声点缀今天，我要用歌声照亮黑夜。我不再苦苦寻觅快乐，我要在繁忙的工作中忘记悲伤。我要享受今天的快乐，它不像粮食可以贮藏，更不似美酒越陈越香。我不是为将来而活。今天播种今天收获。

　　henceforth[hens'fɔːθ;'hensfɔːθ]adv. 今后;自此以后

　　I will laugh at the world.

　　我要笑遍世界。

　　And with my laughter all things will be reduced to their proper size. I will laugh at my failures and they will vanish in clouds of new dreams; I will laugh at my successes and they will shrink to their true value. I will laugh at evil and it will die untasted; I will laugh at goodness and it will thrive and abound. Each day will be triumphant only when my smiles bring forth smiles from others and this l do in selfishness, forthose on whom l flown are those who purchase not my goods.

　　笑声中，一切都显露本色。我笑自己的失败，它们将化为梦的云彩;我笑自己的成功，它们回复本来面目;我笑邪恶，它们远我而去;我笑善良，它们发扬光大。我要用我的笑容感染别人，虽然我的目的自私，但这确实是成功之道，因为皱起的眉头会让顾客弃我而去。

　　triumphant[traɪ'ʌmf(ə)nt] adj. 成功的;得意洋洋的;狂欢的

　　I will laugh at the world.

　　我要笑遍世界。

　　Hence forth will l shed only tears of sweat, for those of sadness or remorse or frustrationare of no value in the market place whilst each smile can be exchanged for goldand each kind word, spoken from my heart, can build a castle.

　　从今往后，我只因幸福而落泪，因为悲伤、悔恨、挫折的泪水在商场上毫无家值，只有微笑可以换来财富，善言可以建起一座城堡。

　　Never will l allow myself to become so important, so wise, so dignified, so powerful,that I forget how to laugh at myself and my world. In this matter I will always remain as a child, for only as a child am I given the ability to look up too thers; and so long as I 1ook up to another I will never grow too long for my cot.

　　我不再允许自己因为变得重要、聪明、体面、强大，而忘记如何嘲笑自己和周围的一切。在这一点上，我要永远像小孩一样，因为只有做回小孩，我才能尊敬别人，尊敬别人，我才不会自以为是。

　　I will laugh at the world.

　　我要笑遍世界。

　　And so long as I can laugh never will I be poor. This, then, is one of nature'sgreatest gifts, and l will waste it no more. Only with laughter and happiness can l truly become a success. Only with laughter and happiness can I enjoy the fruits of my labor. Were it not so, far better would it be to fail, for happiness is the wine that sharpens the taste of the meal. To enjoy success Imust have happiness, and laughter will be the maiden who serves me.

　　只要我能笑，就永远不会贫穷。这也是天赋，我不再浪费它。只有在笑声和快乐中，我才能享受到劳动的果实。如果不这样，我会失败，因为快乐是提味的美酒佳酿。要想享受成功，必须先有快乐，而笑声便是那伴娘。

　　I will be happy.

　　我要快乐。

　　I will be successful.

　　我要成功。
