The picture depicts that a young man who smiles and sweats profusely is crossing the finishing line. It seems that he has no plan to stop. Apparently, he is driven to move forward constantly by the caption which reads "The destination of a journey is a new place to begin.”

如图所示,一位面带微笑、大汗淋漓的年轻人正在冲过终点线。他似乎并不打算停下来。很显然,正是图中的文字“终点又是新起点”激励着他不断向前。

Life is a long race. You and I should not halt, because the destination may also be a new beginning. After reaching the destination and even achieving something big, you should not soak yourselves in it, but continue instead. The past glory is like a huge mountain blocking the path of those who indulge themselves in it to a more meaningful career and life. Generally speaking, blind indulgence in the past success will be a hindrance to nation and individual. Therefore, to achieve the perfection of life, we should work hard for a life time.

人生是一场漫长的赛跑。你我都不应停止前进,因为终点也许就是一个新的起点。在到达终点甚至有所成就之后,切勿沉浸其中,而应该继续前行。过去的辉煌就像高山一样,阻挡沉湎于其中的人通往更有意义的事业或人生道路。总而言之,一味地沉湎于过去的辉煌会阻挡前路,从个人到国家均是如此。因此,为了获得人生的圆满,我们应穷尽一生去奋斗。

The most persuasive example is Leonardo Da Vinci. He attributed his great success to untiring efforts and perseverance. By contrast, numerous people give up the pursuit on account of a temporary success. They choose enjoyment at the time that is supposed to strive, thus becoming mediocrities. Fang Zhongyong in ancient China is an example. This shows that an achiever must make persistent efforts. So long as you do not stop pursuing, you will bathe in the glow of happiness.

列奥纳多·达·芬奇的例子最具说服力。他的巨大成功正是来自孜孜不倦的努力和坚持不懈的精神。相反,很多人因为一时的成功而放弃了追求。他们在本该奋斗的时间选择了享受,最终沦为平庸之辈。中国古代的方仲永即是一例。这说明成功者需要付出坚持不懈的努力。只要不停止追求,你就会沐浴在幸福的光芒中。

进阶:

It is depicted in the picture that a young man smiling and sweating profusely is crossing the finishing line. However, it seems that he doesn't intend to stop. Apparently, it is the caption-The destination of a journey is a new place to begin-that drives him on constantly.

Life is a long race, in which you and I should not halt on account of the fact that the destination may also be a new beginning. What you should do, after reaching the destination and even achieving something big, is not to soak yourselves in it, but to continue instead. The past glory, like a huge mountain, blocks the path of those indulged in it to a more meaningful career and life. This is true both at the national and individual level. Therefore, to achieve the perfection of life, we should have such a belief-Cease to struggle and you cease to live.

cease; ceas ( -cess- )退让 + -e → 停止,中止。

struggle; striv-竞争 + e → 努力,斗争,奋斗,争取;区别于strive的奋斗、努力,表示程度更深,艰难地行进、吃力地进行、斗争,抗争,Cease to struggle and you cease to live.生命不息,奋斗不止!——托马斯·卡莱尔。

The most persuasive example is Leonardo Da Vinci-a world-renowned artist, who attributed his great success to untiring efforts and perseverance. By contrast, numerous people, who choose to enjoy their temporary success and give up the pursuit of dreams, eventually become mediocrities. A good case in point is Fang Zhongyong in ancient China, which indicates that it is necessary for an achiever to make persistent efforts. Only by non-stop "running", will you bathe in the glow of happiness.
