M: With me in the studio today is Ms.Jane Logan ,author of a new book,Secrets to Success.
M: 今天和我一起在演播室的是简·洛根女士,她是一本新书《成功的秘密》的作者。
She claims to have uncovered how people achieve success.
她声称揭示了人们是如何取得成功的。
So Ms. Logan,in your book,you claim that successful people have many things in common.
因此,洛根女士,在你的书中,你声称成功人士有许多共同点。
For instance, they know their strengths when pursuing a goal.
例如,他们知道自己在追求目标时的优势。
W: That's right. They also tend to be motivated by a negative or positive life event.
W: 没错。他们也往往受到消极或积极生活事件的激励。
They credit their success to having someone in their life who believes in them.
他们把自己的成功归功于生活中有人相信他们。
M: You also write that there are a number of different factors related to success.
M: 你还写道,与成功相关的因素有很多。
And while successful people are driven to achieve their goals, the ultra successful have even greater ambition.
当成功人士被驱使去实现他们的目标时,超级成功人士有着更大的雄心壮志。
W: Yes,greater ambition as well as a burning desire to be the best of the best is also a common characteristic.
W: 是的,更大的雄心壮志以及成为最好中最好的强烈愿望也是一个共同特征。
M: Right. So those who are determined don't see obstacles as something that prevents success, but mere inconveniences that need to be overcome.
M: 对。因此,那些有决心的人不会把障碍看作阻碍成功的东西,而仅仅是需要克服的便利。
W: Absolutely. Successful people are also optimistic as it is important to stay positive while being aware of obstacles that can deter us from achieving our goals.
W: 当然可以。成功人士也很乐观,因为在意识到阻碍我们实现目标的障碍的同时保持积极态度很重要。
M: That's a good point.
M: 这是一个好观点。
All too often, people give up at the first hurdle.
很多时候,人们在第一个障碍就放弃了。
Would you say then that most successful people make it all by themselves?
那么,你会说最成功的人都是靠自己做的吗?
W: Not exactly. They are usually good at cooperating with people and understanding the needs of others.
W: 不完全是。他们通常善于与人合作,理解他人的需求。
M: So people will be willing to help them, I guess.
M: 所以我想人们会愿意帮助他们的。
W: That's correct. And this often leads to a great deal of mutual respect,whether it's with a colleague, an assistant or even a receptionist.
W: 这是正确的。无论是同事、助手,还是接待员,这都会带来极大的相互尊重。
M: Most successful people I know are very passionate about their work.
M: 我认识的大多数成功人士都对自己的工作充满热情。
Would you say that passion is the single biggest key to success?
你会说激情是成功的唯一关键吗?
W: Not entirely. There's a prerequisite, that is, you have to work in an environment that nurtures passion.
W: 不完全是。有一个先决条件,那就是,你必须在一个培养激情的环境中工作。
If that exists, success will follow.
如果存在这种情况,成功就会随之而来。
