It has been said that when people succeed, it is because of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with success.
有人说，当人们成功，是因为努力工作，运气与成功无关。
Although I believe that hard work is very important and is the surest way to success for most people, I must disagree with this statement.
虽然我认为努力工作是非常重要的，对大多数人来说是成功的最可靠的方式，但我必须不同意这一说法。
It cannot be denied that luck often plays an important role in success.
不可否认，运气在成功中扮演着重要的角色。
For example, many important discoveries have been made by accident.
例如，许多重要的发现都是偶然发现的。
There have been many cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs while they were actually trying to solve another problem or create a different device.
有很多研究人员和发明家取得重大突破的时候，他们实际上是在试图解决另一个问题或创造一个不同的设备。
Furthermore, there is something to be said for simply being in the right place at the right time-perhaps meeting someone by chance who can offer a good job or rare opportunity.
此外，在正确的时间出现在正确的地点也有一些值得说的事情——也许是偶然遇到一个人，他能提供一份好工作或难得的机会。
And of course, there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected success.
当然，也有少数赌徒和彩票中奖者，他们克服了种种困难，获得了突如其来的、意想不到的成功。
While the influence of luck cannot be ignored, this is not to say that one should depend on it and ignore the value of hard work.
虽然运气的影响不容忽视，但这并不是说一个人应该依赖运气，忽视努力的价值。
If one is willing to work hard, I believe that success will eventually be achieved, with or without the added benefit of luck.
如果一个人愿意努力工作，我相信成功最终会实现，不管有没有额外的运气的好处。
Moreover, hard work is often an essential ingredient of luck because it enables one to take advantage of a lucky encounter.
此外，努力工作往往是运气的一个基本组成部分，因为它能使人利用一个幸运的遭遇。
If the scientist has not worked hard to develop his knowledge and skills, he may not recognize that lucky breakthrough when it comes along.
如果科学家没有努力发展他的知识和技能，他可能不会意识到幸运的突破来了。
Therefore, my suggestion is not to count on luck to bring you success.
因此，我的建议是不要指望运气给你带来成功。
Instead, work hard and keep your eyes open for that lucky opportunity.
相反，努力工作，睁大眼睛去寻找那个幸运的机会
