美国企业家宣言zt

—Entrepreneur's Credo of the American

?

我有权选择不做一个平庸的人。

I do not choose to be a common person.

　　我会尽我所能成为杰出的人。

　　??? It is my
right to be uncommon—if I can.

我寻找机会，不寻求安稳，

I seek opportunity—not security.

　　我不希望成为一名有保障的国民，那将被人瞧不起。

I do not wish to be a kept citizen,?humbled and dulled by having the state
look after me.

　　我要做有意义的冒险。

I want to take the calculated risk,?　　

我要梦想，我要创造，经历失败，走向成功。?

???? to
dream and to build,?to fail and to succeed.?

　　我渴望奖励，拒绝施舍。

　　 I refuse to barter incentive for
a dole;

　　我要有挑战的人生，而不是有保障的生存；

I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed
existence;

　　我要实现目标时的亢奋，而不是陈腐而不真实的平静。

the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of
Utopia.?

　　我不会拿我的自由换取任何捐赠，也不会拿我的尊严换取任何施舍。

I will not trade my freedom for beneficence?nor my dignity for a handout.

　　我决不会在任何权威面前发抖，也不会为任何恐吓所屈服。?

I will never cower before any master?nor bend to any threat.

　　我的天性是挺胸直立，骄傲，绝不胆怯。

It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and
unafraid;

　　我会为我的梦想去思考，去行动；

to think and act for myself;?

　　享受我的创造带来的回报；

to enjoy the benefit of my creations;

　　终有一天，我可以自豪地向世界宣告：

and to face the world boldly?and say:

　　“在上帝的帮助下，我做到了。”

"This, with God's help, I have done."
