Where there is a will, there is a way. This proverb means that if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will (1) eventually（最后） find away to do it well. The (2) premier point is that you must have the will to achievesuccess.
有志者事竟成。这句谚语的意思是，如果你真的下定决心去做某件事，不管它有多困难，你最终会找到办法把它做好。首要的一点是，你必须有意愿取得成功。
Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strongwill involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any (3) endeavor to achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuseto explain the situation away.
百分之九十的失败都是因为没有强大的意志。许多人只是简单地说他们想要一些东西，但他们并没有努力去实现它。所以，他们没有得到它，而是用最糟糕的借口来解释情况。
On many occasions, people tend to (4) bypass (绕过) every minute obstacle,making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will- to succeed,they can get rid of the(5).handicaps and achieve their goals.
在许多情况下，人们往往（4）绕过（绕过）每一分钟的障碍，使目标无法实现。事实上，如果他们有成功的意愿，他们可以摆脱障碍，实现他们的目标。
Only those with a(n) (6) committed (坚定的) and focused will and spirit can fighttheir way to final victory. Many a famous man has the same experience. They have (7)attained (获得，达到) their prestige because they have had the will to (8)transcend apparently insuperable (无法克服的) obstacles. Many artists, statesmen,writers and inventors have managed to succeed because they possess a fierce will,which has helped them to accomplish major(9) feats (业绩) .
只有那些有决心（坚定的）和专注的意志和精神的人才能努力取得最终胜利。许多名人都有同样的经历。他们获得（获得，达到）他们的声望，因为他们有超越显然无法克服（无法克服的）障碍的意志。许多艺术家、政治家、作家和发明家之所以成功，是因为他们有着强烈的意志，这有助于他们完成重大的（9）壮举。
Therefore, we can see that the main thing which one needs is a strong will. Weak-willed people never climb to the top. They collapse at the(10) slightest use of forceagainst them. Strong-willed people, on the other hand, will stand up against all oddsand will make it a point to succeed.
因此，我们可以看到，一个人需要的主要是一个坚强的意志。意志薄弱的人永远不会爬上顶峰。只要稍微用力一点，它们就会倒塌。另一方面，意志坚强的人会与所有古怪的人站在一起，这将成为成功的关键。

In a study conducted in the UK, it was found that only four out of every five (1)employees were happy at work. Surprisingly, contrary to popular (2) notion ( 见解，概念) , friendly, supportive colleagues and a good manager, instead of the salary orthe love for the work, have been found to be the (3) primary (主要的) causes of happiness at work. So, how do you keep your spirits up and, at the same time, (4)foster (培养) a sense of joy on the job? Here is one of the tips to help you on yourway to finding happiness and complete job satisfaction in the workplace.
在英国进行的一项研究发现，每五（1）名员工中，只有四个人对工作感到高兴。令人惊讶的是，与流行的观念（2）相反，友好、支持的同事和优秀的管理者，而不是薪水或对工作的热爱，被发现是工作中快乐的主要原因。那么，你如何保持你的精神振奋，同时培养（培养）一种工作上的快乐感呢？以下是帮助你在工作中找到快乐和完全工作满意度的一个技巧。
Start with a positive outlook. Happiness is a state of mind; it (5) reflects (反映)an attitude, though not many people realize it. Staying happy at work is totally basedon your (6) motivations 动机 and on a positive outlook toward your job, not on (7)monetary ( 货币性) rewards or material gain. Dwelling on the good (8) aspects (方面) of the work rather than rattling on and on about what makes you unhappy is thebasic key to happiness. Negativity and (9) gossiping ( 闲聊)about bad things maybe easy, but it is looking at the bright side that makes for the challenging part of a job.As Francesca Reigler puts it, "Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves(10)miserable 痛苦, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same."
从积极的展望开始。幸福是一种精神状态；它反映（反映）一种态度，尽管没有多少人意识到它。在工作中保持快乐完全是基于你的动机和对工作的积极展望，而不是基于（7）金钱（货币性）奖励或物质收益。关注工作的好方面，而不是喋喋不休地谈论什么让你不快乐，这是幸福的基本要素。消极和关于坏事情的闲言碎语也许很容易，但它正着眼于工作中具有挑战性的一面。正如弗朗西斯卡·雷格勒所说，“幸福是一种态度。我们要么让自己痛苦，要么让自己快乐而坚强。工作量是一样的。”

We adults don't read children's minds, but we often have a (3) presumption (推测) that we can.So we usually think we're aware of what's too much tickling and when to stop.

We wish that our children are happy and love us, and tickling becomes ourshortcut to get assured.
