读双语故事，看百味人生。阅读是一生的功课，无论顺境逆境，我们总能在文字里找到共鸣。以下是小编整理的永不放弃/Never, Never Give Up的内容，读一下吧，也许恰好是你喜欢的那一篇。

We often hear people say, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in themselves will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.

One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.

　In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.

【参考译文】

我们常听到人们说：“永远不要放弃。”这句话能够鼓励别人，也能表示自己的决心。一个相信自己的人，不管经历多少次失败，都会不断试着要达到目标。我认为，有成功的决心是一个人应该具有的重要特质。因此，我认为我们应该永不放弃。

其中一个理由是，如果我们太轻易放弃，就几乎无法完成任何事。我们第一次尝试新事物会失败，这是很平常的事，所以我们不应感到气馁，而应该要再试一次。另外，如果我们总是一失败就放弃，就无法培养新技能并且也不能不断成长。我们应该永不放弃的另一个原因是，只有再努力一次才能从错误中学习。如果我们不再试一次，那么我们所学到的教训就白白浪费了。最后，我们应该永不放弃，因为当我们努力达到目标的时候，我们就会培养出自信，而这种自信将有助于我们在生活的其他领域中获得成功。如果我们从不挑战自我，我们就会开始怀疑自己的能力。

简言之，当我们努力追求目标时，永不放弃是很重要的。不管最后有没有成功，我们都会学到一些东西，而我们所学到的东西，将会使自己成为一个更好、更有自信的人。而且，如果放弃的话，我们就没有机会完成目标，但是，如果我们不断尝试，我们总有一天将会取得成功。

【人生启迪】

永远不要放弃，一个人是这样，一个人生也是这样。人生既然选择了奋斗，选择了勇往直前，就永远不应放弃。奋斗是艰苦的，前行是艰辛的，但是只要永远不放弃，就永远有追求、有信念、有自信，这样成功离我们也就不远了。当我们想要放弃的时候，不妨想想，也许阳光就在转弯的不远处，如果此刻放弃就永远触不到成功的希望。记住许三多的那句经典语录——不抛弃，不放弃。
