金字塔是由一塊塊石頭積累成的

范文1：

One glance at a pyramid can leave the viewer in awe of its beauty and splendor. Upon closer examination, however, one might be surprised to discover that such a grandiose structure is composed entirely of ordinary stones.

Most people are familiar with the proverb: Rome was not built in a day. An object as grand as a pyramid is likewise not so quickly or easily constructed. Just as the greatness of the city of Rome is due to the combination of its smaller parts, a pyramid is only as strong as the stones it is comprised of. The image of a pyramid reminds us that great success is in fact an accumulation of small achievements.

History proves that many famous artists and scientists are only successful because of their continued efforts, even after numerous failures. One might recall Leonardo DaVinci's drawing of an egg, Wang Xi Zhi practicing handwriting, or Thomas Edison inventing the light bulb, for example. The fable that tells us that even water can eventually pierce through stone also points to the importance of patience and diligence. We should take such stories and histories into account and remember the importance of fundamentals; remember that one can build a pyramid only if one is willing to work with small stones. People would be wise to abandon rash inclinations and instead try in earnest. Perseverance is sure to lead to success. 　　

譯文：

瞥一眼金字塔，看見其美麗壯觀的景象，敬畏之情就會油然而生。然而，走近仔細再看，人們會很吃驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)如此宏偉的建筑皆由普通的石頭砌成。

大多數(shù)人都熟悉這個諺語：羅馬不是一天建成的。像金字塔這樣壯麗雄偉的建筑也同樣不能如此快地輕易建成。就像羅馬城的偉大是由各個小的部分組合起來的一樣，金字塔也如構(gòu)建它的石頭一樣堅固。金字塔的形象告訴我們偉大的成功實際上就是集腋成裘。歷史上，許多有名的藝術(shù)家和科學家都是由于他們不斷的努力才獲得成功的，盡管屢屢失敗他們也在所不惜。例如，人們可能會想到萊昂納多·達芬奇畫蛋，王羲之練習書法和托馬斯·愛迪生發(fā)明電燈的故事�！八�滴石穿”這個寓言也喻意耐心和勤奮的重要性。我們應該重視這些故事和歷史，牢記打好基礎(chǔ)的重要性；且還要記住人只有在他愿意堆砌小石塊時才能建造起金字塔。人們摒棄急躁冒進并代之以嚴肅認識是明智之舉。堅持不懈必定會走向成功。
