Courage
     by J.F.Kennidy
    The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must----in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures----and that is the basis of all human morality.
    To be courageous…requires no exceptional qualifications, no magic formula, no special combination of time, place and circumstance. It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all. Politics merely furnishes one arena which imposes special tests of courage. In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience----the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men----each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingredient----they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.
    勇氣
    生活之中的勇氣，通常不會(huì)像千鈞一發(fā)時(shí)的勇氣那樣充滿戲劇性；但他人不失為是一個(gè)勝利與悲劇的壯觀組合。一個(gè)人將個(gè)人得失，障礙、危險(xiǎn)還有壓力拋在腦后，只是做他必須做的，而這便是人類一切道德的基礎(chǔ)。
    勇敢，不需要突出的品質(zhì)，不需要秘訣，不需要天時(shí)地利，每個(gè)人或早或晚都有機(jī)會(huì)。政治不過(guò)是對(duì)勇氣進(jìn)行特別考驗(yàn)的一個(gè)競(jìng)技場(chǎng)而已，在人生的每一個(gè)競(jìng)技場(chǎng)上勇氣都會(huì)前來(lái)挑戰(zhàn)。如果你跟隨你的良心，那么任何東西都可能被犧牲：朋友，財(cái)產(chǎn)，滿足，甚至是別人對(duì)你的尊重。走哪條路只能由自己來(lái)決定。前人的故事可以告訴你什么叫勇敢。他們能夠教你，能夠給你希望和靈感，但不能給你真正的勇氣，要得到它你必須要發(fā)掘自己的靈魂。
