2018年翻譯資格考試詩歌翻譯：羅為輝·《智者的眼睛》

　　智者的眼睛

　　羅為輝

　　電臺(tái)請(qǐng)一位商界奇才做嘉賓主持，大家非常希望能聽他談?wù)劤晒χ�路。但他只是淡淡一笑，說：“還是出個(gè)題考考大家吧。”

　　“某地發(fā)現(xiàn)了金礦，人們一窩蜂地?fù)砣ィ�然而一條大河擋住了必經(jīng)之路。是你，會(huì)怎么辦?”

　　有人說“繞道走”，也有人說“游過去”。商界奇才含笑不語，最后他說：“為什么非得去淘金，為什么不可以買一條船開展?fàn)I運(yùn)?”

　　大家愕然。商界奇才說：“那樣的情況，就是‘宰’得渡客只剩下一條短褲，他們也會(huì)心甘情愿的。因?yàn)�，前面有金礦啊!”

　　干他人不想干的，做他人不曾做的，這就是成功之道。困境在智者眼中，往往意味著一個(gè)潛在的機(jī)遇。

　　How a Wise Man Sees It

　　Luo Weihui

　　A man recognized as a genius in business circles was invited as a guest of honor to a TV interview. Everybody was eager to hear a success story from him. He, however, only said with a slight smile: “Wouldn’t it be better for me to ask you for advice on a certain problem?”

　　Here is the problem he raised:

　　People all rushed to the place where a gold mine had recently been discovered, but they were blocked by a river flowing across the only way to it. What would you do if you were among them?

　　“Make a roundabout way,” someone suggested.

　　“Swim across,” said another.

　　The genius smiled without a word. Eventually he gave his view: “Why not do something else instead of rushing to the mine? How about buying a boat to do some ferrying?”

　　The audience was shocked. He explained calmly: “The man could extort money from the passengers to the greatest extent. They would have been willing to pay because there was gold on the other bank.”

　　Do what others would not like to do or do something never attempted before by others – that is the key to success. A straitened circumstance, in the eyes of a wise man, often means a potential chance for success.
