 参考范文:

There is asaying that goes, "Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal." Simple as it sounds, the intended meaning is more than profound.

It is indicated in the quote that if we stick tour goal, we will triumph over any adversity and no longer see them as obstacles. For instance, I once, had to make a tough decision after my failure in the college entrance examination :to accept what life throws at me or to try it again. Since college was my dream, finally I decided to do it again despite the prospect that I had to bear more pressure than ever. Life didn't let me down again due to my determination and hard work.

 Adversity is a challenge for cowards but an opportunity for the brave. Therefore, every time adversity blocks my way, I always tell myself not to fear and keep reminding myself of where I am heading. Moreover, I will cope with obstacles by analyzing the problems and finding the solution to them. I have faith that I can overcome any obstacle and finally get to my destination.

 范文译文:

有句名言说得好:"当人的视线不放在目标上时,他就看到了阻碍"。话听起单,其意义却非常深远。

这句引言暗示我们,如果坚持目标不放手,我们将战胜任何逆境,且不会再逆境视作阻碍。比如,在高考失利之后,我曾经不得不做出一个艰难的抉择:接受这一切,还是从头再来? 因为大学一直是我的梦想,所以我决定从头再来,尽管不承受前所未有的压力。由于我的决心和刻苦,生活没有再次让我失望。

逆境对于懦弱者来说是挑战,而对于勇敢者来说是机遇。因此,每当逆境来总是告诉自己不要害怕,并时刻提醒自己前进的方向。除此之外,我还将通过分析问题和寻找解决问题的方法来应对各种阻碍。我相信我能战胜任何阻碍并最终抵达目的地。
