Lesson 113

    Something Well Begun Is Half Done

    Work is a very important part of life. People work in order to earn a living. A coun- try can only make progress if its people work. It is, therefore¹, important for us to be hard- working. When we work, there is one golden² rule we should always remember： Something well begun is half done.

    好的开始是成功的一半

    工作是生活中非常重要的一部分。人们为了谋生而工作。一个国家只有在其人民工作下才会进步。因此，努力工作对我们很重要。在工作时，有一则我们必须牢记的金科玉律就是：好的开始是成功的一半。
