【范文】The Role of Luck in Success

It has been said that when people succeed, it is because of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with success. Although I believe that hard work is very important and is the surest way to success for most people, I must disagree with this statement. It cannot be denied that luck often plays an important role in success. For example, many important discoveries have been made by accident. There have been many cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs while they were actually trying to solve another problem or create a different device.

Furthermore, there is something to be said for simply being in the right place at the right time-perhaps meeting someone by chance who can offer a good job or rare opportunity. And of course, there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected success.

While the influence of luck cannot be ignored, this is not to say that one should depend on it and ignore the value of hard work. If one is willing to work hard, I believe that success will eventually be achieved, with or without the added benefit of luck. Moreover, hard work is often an essential ingredient of luck because it enables one to take advantage of a lucky encounter. If the scientist has not worked hard to develop his knowledge and skills, he may not recognize that lucky breakthrough when it comes along. Therefore, my suggestion is not to count on luck to bring you success. Instead, work hard and keep your eyes open for that lucky opportunity.

【譯文】運(yùn)氣在成功里所扮演的角色

有人說(shuō)一個(gè)人會(huì)成功是因?yàn)榕?，而運(yùn)氣和成功則是一點(diǎn)關(guān)系也沒(méi)有。雖然我相信努力很重要，而且對(duì)大部分的人來(lái)說(shuō)，努力是成功最可靠的方法，可是我不得不反對(duì)這種說(shuō)法。能否成功，運(yùn)氣扮演著一個(gè)很重要的角色，這是不可否認(rèn)的事實(shí)。例如，很多重要的發(fā)現(xiàn)都是在偶然情況下發(fā)生的。有很多實(shí)例表明，有重大突破的研究人員和發(fā)明家，原本是要試圖解決其他問(wèn)題或是發(fā)明別的儀器。

而且，僅僅是天時(shí)地利這方面也有一些關(guān)系--也許是偶然碰到能提供好的工作和珍貴機(jī)會(huì)的人。當(dāng)然也有極少數(shù)賭徒和彩票得主得到突如其來(lái)、意想不到的成功。

盡管運(yùn)氣的影響力不容忽視，但也不表示人就應(yīng)該完全靠運(yùn)氣，而忽視努力的價(jià)值。如果一個(gè)人愿意努力，不論有沒(méi)有運(yùn)氣額外的幫助，我相信終究還是會(huì)成功。此外，因?yàn)榕δ茏屓顺浞掷眯疫\(yùn)的機(jī)會(huì)，所以努力通常也是運(yùn)氣的必要因素。如果科學(xué)家沒(méi)有努力培養(yǎng)自己的知識(shí)和技巧，那么當(dāng)某個(gè)幸運(yùn)的突破出現(xiàn)時(shí)，他可能也看不出來(lái)。因此，我建議大家不要指望運(yùn)氣能帶來(lái)成功。相反地，應(yīng)該努力，并隨時(shí)注意不要錯(cuò)過(guò)任何好機(jī)會(huì)。
