參考范文
The famous remark “He laughs best who laughs last,” which is known to us all, means that only those who are persistent can finally achieve success. 1 To put it simply, persistence leads to success. 2
Some people may claim there are always lucky dogs who achieve success overnight. But the truth is that it usually took them years of hard work. Few people know their perspiration and struggle behind their success. 3 For example, after Thomas Edison did an experiment hundreds of times but still failed, his assistant said to him, “It’s too bad that we did all that work without any results.” But Edison replied, “Oh, we have lots of results! We now know 700 things that won’t work.” Edison persisted in the experiment and eventually succeeded. 4 Winners simply do what losers don’t want to do and they keep doing it till they make it. Many people who failed did not know how close they were to success when they gave up. People don’t actually fail; they just quit too easily. So it is very important to go the extra mile. 5
Rome was not built in a day. The secret to success is to start from scratch and keep on scratching. 6
我們都知道那句名言“誰笑到最后,誰笑得最好”,意思是說只有那些堅(jiān)持到底的人最終才能成功。簡單地說,堅(jiān)持是通向成功之路。
有人可能會說總有些幸運(yùn)兒會一夜之間取得成功。但事實(shí)上,他們通常付出了多年的辛勤工作。很少有人知道他們成功背后付出的汗水和努力。舉例來說,托馬斯?愛迪生為了一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)操作了幾百次,結(jié)果仍然失敗了,他的助手對他說:“我們做了這么多工作卻沒個(gè)結(jié)果,真是太糟糕了。”但是愛迪生回答說:“哦,我們已經(jīng)有很多結(jié)果了!我們現(xiàn)在知道那700種東西是行不通的。”愛迪生繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持實(shí)驗(yàn)并最終取得了成功。贏家只是做了那些失敗者不想做的事,并且堅(jiān)持下去直到成功為止。很多失敗者不知道他們放棄的時(shí)候離成功已經(jīng)非常近了。他們其實(shí)并沒有失敗,只是輕而易舉地放棄了。所以再多付出一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)很重要。
羅馬不是一天建成的。成功的秘訣就是從頭做起并堅(jiān)持到底。

句法點(diǎn)評
1. The famous remark “He laughs best who laughs last,” which is known to us all, means that only people who are persistent can finally achieve success.
本句主干是The famous remark means that...,而“He laughs best who laughs last”是remark的同位語,that引導(dǎo)賓語從句;句中which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句,補(bǔ)充說明“He laughs best who laughs last”,that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句中又包含了who引導(dǎo)的定語從句。
2. Many people who failed did not know how close they were to success when they gave up.
此句短小精悍,用到了who引導(dǎo)的定語從句,how引導(dǎo)的賓語從句,when引導(dǎo)的狀語從句,句式變化多樣。
