難點(diǎn)解析：

1 原文：Now I know that in order to grow and flourish I must spare no efforts in doing things and keep a little in advance of the times.

譯文：現(xiàn)在我知道，為了輝煌的成就，我必須全力以赴，必須永遠(yuǎn)走在時(shí)間前面。

難點(diǎn)征服：in order to是固定用法，意思是“為了......”，比如：We started early in order to arrive before dark.為了在天黑前到達(dá)，我們很早就動(dòng)身了。spare no efforts in doing something是固定短語(yǔ)，意思是“不遺余力做某事，全力以赴做某事”，比如：In a large multi-ethnic developing country like ours, we must spare no efforts in strengthening and improving the Party's leadership.在我們這樣一個(gè)多民族發(fā)展的大國(guó)，必須盡最大努力加強(qiáng)和改進(jìn)黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。

2 原文：Those who reach the top are the ones who are not content with doing only what are required of them.

譯文：那些頂尖人物都不會(huì)只滿足分內(nèi)的工作。

難點(diǎn)征服：這句話是用了兩個(gè)who引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句，第一個(gè)who reach the top定語(yǔ)從句用來修飾those；第二個(gè)who are not content with doing only what are required of them定語(yǔ)從句用來修飾ones。be content with是一個(gè)固定用法，意為“對(duì)......滿意”，比如：He was content with his work.他對(duì)自己的工作很滿意。

3 原文：They go the extra mile. And another.

譯文：他們比常人做得更多，走得更遠(yuǎn)。

難點(diǎn)征服：“And another”是一個(gè)省略句，完整形式是and they go another mile，其意思比第一句更深刻一層，即在做更多的事情，努力更多后，我們才能走得更遠(yuǎn)。

4 原文：The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything.

譯文：最弱小的人，只要集中力量于一點(diǎn)，也能得到好的結(jié)果；相反，最強(qiáng)大的人，如果把力量分散在許多雜務(wù)上，也會(huì)一事無(wú)成。

難點(diǎn)征服：while是一個(gè)連詞，意為“然而”，表示兩種現(xiàn)象的類比。因此，while兩側(cè)句子所用的句型及時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)當(dāng)一致。

5 原文：Drops of water, by continually falling, hone their passage through the hardest of rocks but the hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar and leaves no trace behind.?

譯文：小小水滴，持之以恒，也能將最堅(jiān)硬的巖石穿透；相反，湍流呼嘯而過，卻了無(wú)蹤跡。

難點(diǎn)征服：這個(gè)句子是將水滴和湍流相對(duì)比，中間用轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but過渡，形成強(qiáng)烈的對(duì)比效果。rushes和leaves是兩個(gè)并列的動(dòng)詞，共同作為torrent的謂語(yǔ)。
