Defeat
挫敗
没有人会被击垮，除非他自己放弃；
没有人会被结束，除非他自己止息；
无论失败的打击多么大，
不管跌倒了多少次，
除非他躺平，否则他就不死。命运可以打击他，打得头晕眼花；
并折磨他的筋骨，让他一身痛楚；
但当他一跃而起，迎接更多的挑战，
没有人能说他已完蛋。
他没有死，除非他停止呼吸；
他不被击垮，除非他不再努力。
堆积生活 - 格斯特
Defeat
No one is beat till he quits,
No one is through till he stops,
No matter how hard Failure hits,
No matter how often he drops,
A fellow's not down till he lies
In the dust and refuses to rise.Fate can slam him and bang him around,
And batter his frame till he's sore,
But she never can say that he's downed
While he bobs up serenely for more.
A fellow's not dead till he dies,
Nor beat till no longer he tries.
A Heap o' Livin' by Edgar A. Guest
