Conversation Two
长对话2
With me in the studio today is Ms. Jane Logan, author of a new book Secrets to Success. She claims to have uncovered how people achieve success. So Ms. Logan, in your book, you claim that successful people have many things in common. For instance, they know their strengths when pursuing a goal.
今天和我一起在演播室的是简·洛根女士，她是新书《成功的秘诀》的作者。她声称已经发现了人们如何取得成功。所以，洛根女士，您在书中声称成功人士有很多共同点。例如，他们在追求目标时知道自己的优势。
That's right. They also tend to be motivated by a negative or positive life event. They credit their success to having someone in their life who believes in them.
没错。他们也往往受到生活中消极事件或积极事件的刺激。他们将自己的成功归功于生活中有人相信他们。
You also write that there are a number of different factors related to success. And while successful people are driven to achieve their goals, the ultra-successful have even greater ambition.
您还写道有一些与成功相关的因素。而且，成功人士是被驱使着实现他们的目标的，而超级成功人士则有更大的野心。
Yes. Greater ambition, as well as a burning desire to be the best of the best, is also a common characteristic.
是的。更大的野心以及成为强手中的强手的强烈渴望，也是一个共同的特征。
Right. So, those who are determined don't see obstacles as something that prevents success, but mere inconveniences that need to be overcome.
对。因此，那些有决心的人不会将障碍视为阻碍其成功的东西，而只是将其视为需要解决的麻烦。
Absolutely. Successful people are also optimistic, as it is important to stay positive while being aware of obstacles that can deter us from achieving our goals.
正是如此。成功人士也很乐观，因为意识到可能存在妨碍我们实现目标的障碍，同时还能保持积极的态度，这很重要。
That's a good point. All too often, people give up at the first hurdle. Would you say then that most successful people make it all by themselves?
这是一个很好的观点。很多时候，人们在第一个难关就放弃了。那么，您认为大多数成功人士的成功都是靠自己吗？
Not exactly. They are usually good at cooperating with people and understanding the needs of others.
不完全是。他们通常善于与人合作以及了解他人的需要。
So people would be willing to help them, I guess.
所以我猜人们会愿意帮助他们。
That's correct. And this often leads to a great deal of mutual respect, whether it's with a colleague, an assistant or even a receptionist.
没错。这通常会带来极大的相互尊重，无论是和同事、助理还是接待员。
Most successful people, I know, are very passionate about their work. Would you say that passion is the single biggest key to success?
我知道，大多数成功人士都对他们的工作充满激情。您认为激情是成功最关键的因素吗？
Not entirely. There's a prerequisite, that is, you have to work in an environment that nurtures passion. If that exists, success will follow.
不完全是。有一个先决条件，那就是，你必须在一个能培养激情的环境中工作。如果存在这种环境，成功将随之而来。
