双语有声阅读：Laugh at the World笑遍世界

只要我能笑，就永远不会贫穷。这也是天赋，我不再浪费它。只有在笑声和快乐中，我才能真正体会到成功的滋味。只有在笑声和快乐中，我才能享受到劳动的果实。如果不是这样的话，我会失败，因为快乐是提味的美酒佳酿。要想享受成功，必须先有快乐，而笑声便是那伴娘。

 

Laugh at the World

 

I will laugh at the world.

 

Henceforth will l shed only tears of sweat, for those of sadness or remorse¹ or frustration² are of no value in the market place whilst each smile can be exchanged for gold and each kind word, spoken from my heart, can build a castle.

 

Never will l allow myself to become so important, so wise, so dignified³, so powerful, that I forget how to laugh at myself and my world. In this matter I will always remain as a child, for only as a cl1ild am I given the ability to look up to others; and so long as I look up to another I will never grow too long for my cot.

 

And so long as I can laugh never will I be poor. This, then, is one of nature's greatest gifts, and l will waste it no more. Only with laughter and happiness can l truly become a success. Only with laughter and happiness can I enjoy the fruits of my labor⁴. Were it not so, far better would it be to fail, for happiness is the wine that sharpens the taste of the meal. To enjoy success I must have happiness, and laughter will be the maiden⁵ who serves me.

 

I will be happy.

 

I will be successful.

 

笑遍世界

 

我要笑遍世界。

 

从今往后，我只因幸福而落泪，因为悲伤、悔恨、挫折的泪水在商场上毫无价值，只有微笑可以换来财富，善言可以建起一座城堡。

 

我不再允许自己因为变得重要、聪明、体面、强大，而忘记如何嘲笑自己和周围的一切。在这一点上，我要永远像小孩子一样，因为只有做回小孩子，我才能尊敬别人，尊敬别人，我才不会自以为是。

 

我要笑遍世界。

 

只要我能笑，就永远不会贫穷。这也是天赋，我不再浪费它。只有在笑声和快乐中，我才能真正体会到成功的滋味。只有在笑声和快乐中，我才能享受到劳动的果实。如果不是这样的话，我会失败，因为快乐是提味的美酒佳酿。要想享受成功，必须先有快乐，而笑声便是那伴娘。

 

我要快乐。

 

我要成功。
