If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
如果，在众人失去理智归咎于你时(毫无理性地向你发难)，你依然能镇定自若（保持头脑清醒）；
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
如果，所有人都猜忌怀疑你，你仍能坚信自己，并体谅而宽恕他人(认为他们的猜忌情有可原)；
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
如果，你能够耐心等待，不急不躁，为人所骗时，不去欺骗别人（或遭人诽谤却不以牙还牙）
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
或者，被人憎恨时，不去憎恨别人（以恶报恶），不要刻意表现（装腔作势），不卖弄学识；
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
如果，你有梦想, 又能够不被梦想支配（为达目的不择手段）；
如果，你善于思考，又不只是想想而已；
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
如果，你能坦然地面对胜利和苦难，并看穿这两者欺瞒下的真实
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
如果，你能承受自己所言的事实，被扭曲篡改坑害了无知的人，
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools;
或者，目睹你投入了毕生心血之作被毁坏后，仍能站起，用破旧的工具来将它重建。
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
如果，你能以你至今所得之全部为赌注，（为了更崇高的目标）倾尽全力冒险一搏
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
失去所有后从头开始，而不为这些损失抱怨半字。
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
如果，你能使你的心，你的勇气，你的力量，在曾经消散后仍与你一起坚持到底
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;
直到耗尽你的所有，只剩希望在呐喊：继续
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
如果，如果你跟平民交谈而不变谦虚之态，
或是和君主散步，而不露谄媚之颜；
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
如果仇敌的出现和友人的离去都无法伤害到你，
如果众人对你信赖有加却不过分依赖；
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run –
如果你能在无情的时间中，用不懈奋斗的六十秒去填满每一分钟
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man my son!
那么，你的修为就会如天地般博大，你将拥有整个世界，而更重要的是，孩子，你是个顶天立地的人。
