双语美文：该奋斗的年纪，不要选择躺平（附音频）

不知道你有没有这样的感觉：同样一首古诗文，你让二十几岁的年轻人背，他也许很快就能熟记于心，可你让上了年纪的人背，就会有些吃力。

I don't know if you have the feeling that if you let a young man in his twenties recite the same ancient poem, he may soon be able to memorize it, but if you let an old man recite it, it will be a little difficult.

同样的知识和专业，如果你在二十几岁精力最旺盛、学习能力最强、好奇心最浓的时候去学习，很快就能掌握和运用，可是等到上了年纪再去上手，就会显得特别木讷和笨拙。

If you learn the same knowledge and specialty in your twenties when you are most energetic, capable of learning, and curious, you can quickly master and use it. But when you get older, you will appear particularly dull and clumsy.

其实做任何事都是有个最佳时间段的，通常人在年轻时，特别适合奋斗，因为这时，你的身体还很强健，社会也会对你相对宽容，即便跌倒了，爬起来也还可以勇往直前。

In fact, there is a best time to do anything. Usually, when people are young, they are especially suitable for struggle, because at this time, your body is still strong, and the society will be relatively tolerant of you. Even if you fall, you can still move forward bravely when you get up.

可是如果你等上了年纪再起步，首先身体已经大不如前，其次想要在短时间内追上别人，几乎不可能，因为别人实在领先你太多。

However, if you wait until you get old to start, first of all, your body is not as good as before, and second, it is almost impossible to catch up with others in a short time, because others are really ahead of you too much.

也许你没吃早饭，中午多吃一点还可能补得回来；也许你今天没完成功课，明天加把油还可以把它补得上；也许你昨天偷的懒，明天尽点力，就可以把落下的事情处理完。

Maybe you didn't eat breakfast, and you could make up for it by eating more at noon; Maybe if you haven't finished your homework today, you can still fill it up with oil tomorrow; Maybe you stole lazy yesterday, and do your best tomorrow, and you can finish the things you left behind.

可是要知道，如果年轻时本该努力，但你没有，本该吃苦，但你没有，本该受累，但你没有，几年过去以后，再想要一一补回来的时候，就不那么容易了。

But you should know that if you should have worked hard when you were young, but you didn't, you should have suffered, but you didn't, you should have suffered, but you didn't. After a few years, it would not be easy to make up for it one by one.

所以不要在20多岁时，好吃懒做不奋斗，因为等到你已经30几岁，甚至更老再想要重新开始时，你努力的心也许不晚，可是世界已经不给你那样的机会了。

So don't be lazy and lazy in your 20s, because when you are in your 30s or even older and want to start again, it may not be too late for you to work hard, but the world won't give you such a chance.
