A student of this science had set his mind on making a certain business combination which seemed to him at the time to be very desirable,
每一个愿意将致富科学付诸实践的人都必须按照书中所示，在脑海中绘制一幅梦想蓝图，然后设定目标，明确信念，
and he worked for some weeks to bring it about.
接着满腔热情地投入到实现梦想的行动中去。
When the crucial time came, the thing failed in a perfectly inexplicable way; it was as if some unseen influence had been working secretly against him.
如果当关键时刻来临时他发现，事情并没有按照他想像的那样发展，自己的梦想不幸夭折了，可谁都不知道夭折的原因，就好像无形中有一股神秘的力量在阻止这一切的发生一样。
He was not disappointed; on the contrary, he thanked God that his desire had been overruled, and went steadily on with a grateful mind.
这时候，凡是忠于自已信念的人都不会因为不利的现状而感到一丝一毫的失落，相反，他还会对一直关注、帮助自己的幸运女神表达感恩之情，并没有因为梦想的落空而有一丝怨恨和懊悔。紧接着，他便怀着感激之情继续他的追梦之旅。
In a few weeks an opportunity so much better came his way that he would not have made the first deal on any account;
一段时间以后——也许是几天，也许是几周——出乎意外的事情发生了，一个更加有利的大好机会出现在他的面前。这样的机会放在从前，他可是想都不敢想的啊！
and he saw that a Mind which knew more than he knew had prevented him from losing the greater good by entangling himself with the lesser.
直到这时，他才明白，原来，之前梦想的破灭和现在的意外惊喜全都出于自己的想法。神奇的宇宙知道他之前的梦想低估了自己的能力，要求得远远不够，所以便做出了这样的安排。不过，如果不是他在梦想一度受挫时仍然能够坚持自已的信念和目标，始终怀有一颗感恩和上进的心，现在的他无论如何都无法品尝到成功的甜美滋味。
That is the way every seeming failure will work out for you, if you keep your faith, hold to your purpose, have gratitude,
只要你也能像他那样，秉持自己的信念和目标，懂得感恩，
and do, every day, all that can be done that day, doing each separate act in a successful manner.
在失败时毫不气馁，更不灰心，全力以赴地做好每天的工作，你也一样能够成为别人眼中的幸运儿。
When you make a failure, it is because you have not asked for enough; keep on, and a larger thing than you were seeking will certainly come to you. Remember this.
综上所述，我们需要明白一个道理，我们的梦想行动有时候之所以会受挫或失败，完全是因为我们当初为自已定的目标太低或要求得太少。所以，只要坚持下去，我们就一定会得到应有的回报，而这份回报当然会比当初要求得更多更好。这很重要，请务必牢记。
You will not fail because you lack the necessary talent to do what you wish to do.
你不会仅仅因为缺乏成就梦想的天赋或技能就失败。
If you go on as I have directed, you will develop all the talent that is necessary to the doing of your work.
如果你能严格遵守书中的指示并且坚持下去，你就一定能够培养和训练出成就梦想所需的天赋和技能。
It is not within the scope of this book to deal with the science of cultivating talent; but it is as certain and simple as the process of getting rich.
至于如何培养和训练技能，这已经超出了本书的内容范畴，不过，其本质却与致富颇为相似,一样的简单，一样的一目了然。
However, do not hesitate or waver for fear that when you come to any certain place you will fail for lack of ability;
因此，当我们决定为了梦想而努力时，千万不要因为担心自身能力不足，无法应对将来的各项事务或突发情况而感到害怕或犹豫。
keep right on, and when you come to that place, the ability will be furnished to you.
你需要做的就是坚持自己的梦想，永不放弃。这样，等到事情真的发生时，你自然也就已经具备了处理它的能力。
The same source of Ability which enabled the untaught Lincoln to do the greatest work in government ever accomplished by a single man is open to you;
几百年前，林肯凭借其杰出的个人能力，掀开了美国历史的新篇章；几百年后的今天，你也完全有能力成为第二个林肯，成为划时代的大人物。现在，机会的大门已经为你敞开，
you may draw upon all the mind there is for wisdom to use in meeting the responsibilities which are laid upon you. Go on in full faith.
集中全部精力做好自己，对你而言，这就足够了。让我们现在就带着梦想和信念启程吧！
Study this book. Make it your constant companion until you have mastered all the ideas contained in it.
认真学习本书，并让它始终陪伴你的左右，直到你已经完全掌握了书中的所有法则和观点。
While you are getting firmly established in this faith, you will do well to give up most recreations and pleasure;
当你树立了坚定的信念之后，脑海中的其他杂念自然就会消失得无影无踪，
and to stay away from places where ideas conflicting with these are advanced in lectures or sermons.
同时，你也自然就会拒绝一切与自已信念相悖的思想和观点，远离那些可能宜讲这些观点和思想的场所。
Do not read pessimistic or conflicting literature, or get into arguments upon the matter. Do very little reading, outside of the writers mentioned in the Preface.
不要阅读任何宣扬悲观思想的文学作品，也不要涉足任何与此有关的争辩。除了在序言中提到的作家外，尽量少涉猎。
Spend most of your leisure time in contemplating your vision, and in cultivating gratitude, and in reading this book.
你应该将更多的时间用于思考自己的梦想，构建未来的蓝图，培养感恩之心，还有，阅读本书。
It contains all you need to know of the science of getting rich; and you will find all the essentials summed up in the following chapter.
本书中包含了所有与致富的科学有关的全部内容。我已经将全书的内容浓缩为一章，而你将在下一章当中体味到精华的魅力。
