Gyri: Okay. So Viyasan, what do you think is the most important, hard work or talent? Or what is more useful?
格里：好。维亚森，你认为努力和天赋哪个最重要？或者说哪个更有用？
Viyasan: Hm. That's an interesting question, because I think they both play a role in whatever task that you're doing, but personally, I think that hard work is more important than talent. And I'll give you a couple examples of why I feel hard work is more important.
维亚森：嗯。这是个有趣的问题，我认为无论你从事什么工作，努力和天赋都会发挥作用，不过我个人认为努力比天赋更重要。我会举几个例子，来说明我认为努力更重要的原因。
I think in order to master any skill, whether it's singing, whether it's dancing, whether it's performing well at a task, you need to stay focused on the task at hand. And some people are naturally good at that task. For example, if I'm really quick at typing on the computer, I'll be able to print out multiple spread sheets, complete a lot of work and finish my assignments faster.
我认为，为了掌握任何技能，无论是唱歌、跳舞还是出色完成任务，都需要集中注意力处理手头的工作。有些人天生就擅长处理这种工作。比如，如果我很擅长电脑打字，那我就能快速打印出多份电子表格、完成大量工作和任务。
However, I believe to really go above and beyond and master that skill, with that talent, hard work needs to be attributed as well. Without hard work, even if you're at typing on the computer, you might not want to feel like typing on a computer, you might be lazy and you just might not want to do that task.
但是，我认为要想更上一层楼，掌握这种技能，除了天赋之外，还需要努力。如果不勤奋努力，那即使你擅长电脑打字，那你可能也不想打字，你会犯懒，不想做那个任务。
But hard work trains you to become good at a task, and do it very well, master it, and become efficient with your time. And so that's why I think hard work outweighs talent, because I think there's more dedication in hard work, there's regimen in the hard work, and once you've mastered hard work in a specific skill, I think you can master it a lot more easier than someone who is naturally talented at that task.
而勤奋努力帮助你精通一项任务，帮助你出色地完成任务并掌握技能，而且能有效利用时间。这就是我认为努力比天赋重要的原因，因为努力要投入更多，还能锻炼人，一旦你通过努力掌握了特定技能，那我相信你会比有天赋的人更易完成任务。
Gyri: Yeah. I definitely agree. I think you pretty much summed it up though.
格里：嗯，我完全同意你的观点。我认为你总结地差不多了。
Viyasan: Yeah.
维亚森：嗯。
Gyri: But yeah, I agree that hard work is more important than talent, and you could be very talented, but if you don't have the work ethic, then it doesn't really matter. Or especially if we're thinking about getting jobs. So, yeah, hard work definitely is more important.
格里：我同意努力比天赋更重要这一看法，你可能极具天赋，但是如果你没有职业精神，那也不会有太大作为。特别是，想想找工作这件事。努力绝对更重要。
