The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating (=vacillant:动摇的；犹豫不决的；踌躇的)mind. Opportunities! Every life is full of them.
脆弱不堪，犹豫不决的人总是以缺乏机会做借口。机会在每个人的生活中无处不在。
Every lesson in school or college is an opportunity. Every examination is a chance in life. Every business
transaction is an opportunity---an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly (具有男子气概的；果敢的，坦率的), an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends. Every proof of confidence in you is a great opportunity. Every responsibility thrust (用力推；强使；强使接受)upon your strength and your honor is priceless. Existence is the privilege (特权，特别待遇；特殊荣幸) of effort, and when that privilege is met like a man, opportunities to succeed along the line of your aptitude (才能，能力) will come faster than you can use them.
学校里的每一节课都是一次机会，人生中每一场考试都是一次机会，每一次商业交易都是一次机会----一次礼貌待人的机会，一次诚实处事的机会，一次结识好友的机会。每一次对你自信的考验都是一次绝佳的机会。在你的能力和声誉之上被赋予的每一份责任都是无价的。生存是努力后的特权，当你邂逅这种特权时，以你之能，助你成功的机会将会接踵而至，应接不暇。
Young men and women, why do you stand here all the day idle (懒散的；无所事事的；不务正业的)? Was the land all occupied before you were born? Has the earth ceased to yield (生产；生长出) its increase? Are the seats all taken? The positions all filled? The chances all gone? Are the resources of your country fully developed? Are the secrets of nature all mastered? Is there no way in which you can utilize these passing moments to improve yourself or benefit another? Don’t wait for your opportunity. Make it, make it as Napoleon made his in a hundred “impossible” situations. Make it, as all leaders of men, in war and in peace, have made their chances of success. Make it, as every man must, who would accompolish (完成，实现) anything worth the effort. Golden opportunities are nothing to laziness, but industry (勤奋) makes the commonest chances golden.
年轻人，为什么你们还整天无所事事？难道在你们出生前每一块土地都被占据了吗？难道地球已不再繁衍生息？难道现在已经没有你们用武之地了吗？所有的职位都占满了？所有的机会都离去了？难道你们国家的资源都已开发完了吗？难道大自然的秘密都了如指掌？难道你无法抓住可以提高自己，造福他人的机会？不要坐等机会来敲门。创造机会，就像拿破仑在无数次绝处逢生。创造机会，像所有在战争或和平年代的领袖们创造胜利的机会一样。创造机会，每个人必须如此，获得应有的回报。懒惰使天赐良机一文不值，然而勤奋使平凡机会熠熠闪光。

Now we are not afraid although we know there's much to fear.We were moving the mountains long before we knew we could.There can be miracles when you believe.Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.追问
稍微长点的。
追答加上下面这些：
When prayer so often proves in vain, hope is like the summer birds to swiftly flown away. Now I'm standing here. My heart so full I can't explain. Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say.
And it's easy to give in to your fear. But When you fly as high past your pain, you can see your way through the rain.
