Conversation 2
W: I have many business English students. When I teach the classroom, we often end up talking about things like success and what leads to success. And it's interesting that many of them mention the element of luck.
M: Right.
W: Luck is important to success. But since you've seen that fantastic video on the TED Talks website by Richard St. John, he doesn't mention luck at all.
M: Well, I'm a firm believer that people can make their own luck. I mean what people regard as luck, you can actually create, to a degree.
W: Sure. I think a lot of what people consider luck is attributed to how you respond to the opportunities that come your way.
M: Yes. Very good point.
W: Seizing the opportunities. But was there any point in the video that you thought was particularly interesting?
M: Yes. Actually there was. Something very impressive to me is many people think that luck is important and that natural talent is something you must have in order to be successful. And in the video we saw, the point about getting good at something is not about having some natural talent. It's all about practice, practice, practice.
W: Definitely yeah. Natural talent helps in some way but at the end of the day you really do need to work hard and get really really good at what you do.
M: Sure.
W: I thought one interesting thing in the video was the idea of passion being so important and that people who really love what they do. Of course you're going to want to work harder and put the time and effort into it. And the funny thing is that if you love what you do and are really passionate about it and work really hard, the money kind of comes automatically.

【翻译】

女：我有很多商务英语的学生。上课的时候，我们经常会在结束时讨论成功或者成功的因素之类的话题。一个很有趣的现象是他们很多人提到了运气这个因素。

男：嗯。

女：运气对成功很重要。但是你们也看到了TED上理查德·圣约翰出色的演讲视频，他完全没有提到运气。

男：我坚决相信人们可以自己创造运气。我是说人们所说的运气在某种程度上是可以创造的。

女：当然。我觉得很多时候人们所说的运气都归功于机会来临时你的反应。

男：是的。很棒的观点。

女：抓住机会。不过那个视频里有什么你觉得特别有趣的吗？

男：嗯。其实是有的。让我印象很深的是很多人认为运气很重要，而天赋是成功所必备的条件。在视频中我们看到，擅长某事并不意味着要有天赋。都是练习，练习再练习。

女：确实是这样。天赋的确有些作用，但最后你会发现要很努力才能把工作做的非常棒。

男：是的。

女：我觉得视频中很有意思的一点是激情很重要，人们要热爱自己所做的事。这样你才愿意更加努力地工作，愿意多花时间和精力。有趣的是如果你很喜欢你的工作，对它很有激情并且努力工作，钱就会自动挣到手了。
