　　范文：

　　Success is always described by the old as something relevant to patience. In the picture, a man sits with a dozen of clocks around him. Beside is the subtitle saying that “success means persisting five minutes more than others”. We can infer from it that the man sets these many clocks just to remind himself that he should never give up.

　　It is very true that success derives from persistence, for which there are several reasons. Firstly, no accomplishment can be achieved in a short time, and success asks for continuous industrious work and efforts. Secondly, when one is able to insist in stepping towards achievement, he must believe what he dedicates to. This belief is the source of persistence that paves the way to success. Thirdly, just as the saying goes, “Rome was not built in one day”, success is founded on the basis of patient pursuit that can never be impeded by temporary failures.

　　To conclude, I would like to borrow another ancient saying that “He laughs best who laughs last”. Laughing symbolizes the confidence for success, and confidence always yields patience and insistence. Hence, I firmly believe that if everybody applies what the picture conveys into actual practice, they will surely reap lot more.

　　譯文：

　　老人們總說成功和耐心是聯(lián)系在一起的。正如這幅圖所顯示的那樣，一個男人坐在椅子上，身邊圍繞著許多的鐘。旁邊的標(biāo)題上寫著“成功就是比別人多堅持五分鐘”。我們可以從這幅圖中推斷出，這個人擺了這么多鬧鐘就是為了提醒自己不要輕易地放棄。

　　確實，成功來源于堅持，關(guān)于這一點有以下幾點原因。第一，沒有任何成就是可以在短時間內(nèi)達(dá)到的，而是需要持續(xù)的勤奮工作和努力。第二，當(dāng)一個人能夠堅持走到成功的一步的時候，他一定是堅信自己為之奮斗的東西的。信念是堅持不懈的動力源泉，能夠為人們的成功鋪平道路。第三，正如古語所云：“冰凍三尺，非一日之寒”，成功是建立在耐心追求的基礎(chǔ)上，在追求的過程中不會被暫時的失敗打倒。

　　我將用另一句古語來總結(jié)這篇文章，即“笑到最后的人笑得最好”。笑意味著對成功充滿信心，信心總是能夠使人們耐心地堅持。因此，我堅信如果每一人都能夠把圖中傳達(dá)的精神落實到實際中，他們一定能夠收獲更多。
