A friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After settling down at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria in lower Manhattan to get something to eat.
一个朋友的祖父从东欧到美国来。在埃利斯岛安顿下来后,他去曼哈顿一家低档的自助餐厅吃饭。
He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order.
Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him how a cafeteria worked.
他在一张空桌子边坐下,等待侍者拿来菜单。没有人来招呼他最后,一位女士拿着满满一托盘食物走过来坐在他对面,并告诉他自助餐厅怎样进餐的。
"Start out at that end," she said. "Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay."
她说:“着手去做吧,去要你想要的东西,在餐厅的另外一端会有人告诉你该付多少钱。”
"I soon learned that’s how everything works in America, "the grandfather told a friend.
他对一个朋友说:“接着我很快了解到这就是美国人的工作方式”
"Life’s a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself."

"Life’s a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself."
生活就像这里的自助餐厅,你可以获得你想要的一切只要你愿意付出代价。你甚至可以获得成功,但如果你要等别人把它带给你的话,那你永远也得不到它。你必须准备,自己得到它。
人人都说上帝是公平的,但你付出的时候,你就会得到你该得到的。没有人可以不劳而获。

生活就像这儿的自助餐。只要你愿意付钱,你能得到任何你想要的东西。你甚至能获得成功,但是如果你等着别人把食物拿给你,你将永远得不到食物。你不得不站起来,靠自己去获取。
try your best to gain what you want!

呶生活就像吃自助餐一样,只要你肯付出,你就能得到你想要的。你甚至可以成为一个了不起的人,但是如果你指望他人主动带给你什么,那你永远也不会有收获的。你得站起来亲自动手。
