美语情景对话TheMantheOpportunity人与机遇一、中英文本Thelackofopportunityisevertheexcuseofaweak,vacillatingmind.Opportunities!Everylifeisfullofthem.缺乏机遇总是意志薄弱、优柔寡断者的借口。机遇!个人的生命中都充满着机遇！Everylessoninschoolorcollegeisanopportunity.Everyexaminationisachanceinlife.Everybusinesstransactionisanopportunity-anopportunitytobepolite,anopportunitytobemanly,anopportunitytobehonest,anopportunitytomakefriends.Everyproofofconfidenceinyouisagreatopportunity.Everyresponsibilitythrustuponyourstrengthandyourhonorispriceless.Existenceistheprivilegeofeffort,andwhenthatprivilegeismetlikeaman,opportunitiestosucceedalongthelineofyouraptitudewillcomefasterthanyoucanusethem.学校或大学的每一堂课都是一次机遇。每一场考试都是人生的一次契机。每一次商业交易都是一次机会—一次礼貌待人的机会，一次果敢行事的机会，一次诚实守信的机会，一次广交朋友的机会。每一份他人对你的信任就是一个莫大的机会。每一份强加在你才干和荣誉之上的责任都是无价的。生存是奋斗的特权，当你如勇者般通过努力邂逅的那份生存特权时，成功的机遇将随着你的能力接踵而至，甚至会让你应接不暇。1/3
