Unit 1 Never Give In, Never, Never, Never 译文绝不屈服，绝不，绝不，绝不Churchill丘吉尔距离上次你们校长盛情邀请我来这里已经快一年了，上次来是为了通过演唱我们自己的校歌来鼓舞我自己以及其他一些朋友的心灵的。

在过去的十个月里，世界上发生了许多极为悲惨的事情-----起起伏伏，多灾多难-------但今天下午，这个十月的下午，在座的有谁能对过去这段时间所发生的事情以及我们国家和家园所发生的巨大改进不充满感激之情？是啊，当上次我来这里的时候，我们都非常的孤独，充满了绝望的孤独，这种状况持续了大约五六个月。

我们当时的装备很差，而如今我们的装备已不再这么差了；但当时我们的装备的确非常差。

我们受到了敌人的巨大威胁，他们的空袭至今仍在我们头顶上轰鸣，你们大家一定经历过这种空袭；我想你们大家一定开始对目前的这种局面感到烦躁，因为这种局面已经持续了很久而毫无转机。

但我们必须学会正确对待这两种情况：不管是短暂激烈的，还是长期艰难地。

人们通常都认为英国人总是在最后表现得最好。

他们不想从一种危机转入另一种危机；他们不会总是期待战争每一天都会出现好的转机；但当他们慢慢下定决心要结束这一切的时候，那么，即使是要花费几个月，甚至数年的时间，他们也会做的。

让我们把思绪拉到十个月之前我们在此相遇的情景，然后再转到现在。

另外一个我想我们可以吸取的教训是，表面的东西往往具有欺骗性。

正如吉普林所说的，我们必须“去面对胜利和灾难，并对这两种具有欺骗性的东西保持同样的态度。

”你很难从事情的表面判断它的走势。

尽管离开了想象力就做不了多少事情，但想象有时候会让事情看起来比实际情况更糟。

那些富有想象力的人会发现很多也许根本就不存在的危险；也许会有更多的危险发生，但这些人同时也要祈求能被赐予额外的勇气来承受这种深远的想象力。

但对所有人来说，毫无疑问，我们在这段时期所经历的-------我要告诉你们--------从这10个月的经历中所得到的经验就是：绝不屈服，绝不屈服，绝不，绝不，绝不，绝不------屈服于任何东西，不管它是伟大还是渺小，庞大还是细微-------除了对荣誉和机智外，都绝不屈服。

Unit 1 Never Give In，Never, Never, Never 绝不屈服，绝不,绝不，绝不Winston Churchill 温斯顿·丘吉尔Almost a year has passed since I came down here at your Head Master’s kind invitation in order to cheer myself and cheer the hearts of a few of my friends by singing some of our own songs. The ten months that have passed have seen very terrible catastrophic events in the world-ups and downs, misfortunes—but can anyone sitting here this afternoon, this October afternoon，not feel deeply thankful for what has happened in the time that has passed and for the very great improvement in the position of our country and of our home？Why, when I was here last time we were quite alone，desperately alone, and we had been so for five or six months. We were poorly armed。

We are not so poorly armed today; but then we were very poorly armed。

Unit1NeverGiveIn,Never,Never,Never译文《Unit1NeverGiveIn,Never,Never,Never 译文》“Never give in, never, never, never”，这句话简洁而有力，蕴含着坚定的决心和不屈的精神。

它传递出一种无论面对何种困境，都绝不屈服、永不放弃的信念。

在生活的道路上，我们常常会遭遇各种各样的挫折和挑战。

有时候，这些困难仿佛一座难以逾越的高山，挡住了我们前进的道路；有时候，它们又像一片无边无际的沼泽，让我们深陷其中，难以自拔。

然而，正是在这些艰难的时刻，“Never give in, never, never, never”的精神显得尤为重要。

想象一下，一位创业者在追求自己的梦想过程中，遭遇了一次又一次的失败。

资金短缺、市场竞争激烈、合作伙伴的离去，种种问题接踵而至。

每一次的打击都可能让他心生退意，但是只要他怀揣着永不屈服的信念，不断总结经验教训，调整策略，就有可能在困境中找到转机，最终实现自己的目标。

再比如一位学生，面对繁重的学业压力和激烈的竞争，成绩不尽如人意。

考试的失利、学习的困惑、家长和老师的期望，都可能让他感到沮丧和迷茫。

但如果他能铭记“Never give in, never, never, never”，坚持不懈地努力，制定合理的学习计划，积极寻求帮助，就一定能够逐渐提高自己的成绩，实现自己的学业梦想。

历史上也有许多伟人，他们在面对巨大的困难和压力时，始终坚守着永不屈服的精神。

例如，孙中山先生在推翻封建帝制的过程中，遭遇了无数的挫折和困难，但他从未放弃，始终坚信民主共和的理念，最终为中国的近代化进程做出了巨大的贡献。

又比如，在第二次世界大战期间，英国面临着纳粹德国的强大威胁。

在那个黑暗的时刻，丘吉尔发表了著名的演讲，激励着英国人民“Never give in, never, never, never”。

正是这种坚定的信念，让英国人民团结一心，共同抵抗外敌，最终迎来了胜利的曙光。
