I'll Persist Whenever
Guidance for Reciting
Many people who failed did not know how close they were to success when they gave up. People don't actually fail,they just quit too easily.
I'll persist even when others don't understand.
I'll persist even when many people object.
I'll persist even when I suffer adversity.
I'll persist even when all the others give up.
I'll persist even when I'm desperate.
I'll persist still longer and longer even
when I feel I can't sustain.
I'll persist even when it's extremely hot.
I'll persist even when I'm completely lonely.

口语点津
其实,正像有人说的:“大人物和小人物的区别就是恒心。”所以,你所走过的最重要旅程就是你多走的额外旅程,So the most important trip you'll ever make is when you go the extra mile. 那么,在英语中,“大人物”怎么说呢?大家最熟悉的可能是VIP,这个缩写已经在国内广泛使用,除此之外,big cheese,big shot,big gun,big wheel,big enchilada 也都可以表示“大人物”。此外,somebody和 something 都可以表示“(大)人物”,比如:He is something. (他是个人物。)“大人物和小人物的区别就是恒心”可以说成:Big shots are just little shots who kept on shooting.
