機會不會被提供,需經由爭取及努力才可得到它,而這需要毅力及勇氣。Opportunities are not offered. They must be wrested and worked for. And this calls for perseverance and courage.

“Opportunities are not offered. They must be wrested and worked for. And this calls for perseverance and courage.”

– Indira Gandhi, Indian Prime Minister

「機會不會被提供,需經由爭取及努力才可得到它,而這需要毅力及勇氣。」

– 英迪拉‧甘地 (印度總理)

wrest (v.) 是「爭取,爭奪」,如:They are trying to wrest control of the company from its current directors. (他們試圖把公司的控制權由目前的董事奪取過來。) call for 是「需要」,如:This issue calls for our immediate attention. (這議題需要我們立即的關注。)

英迪拉‧甘地 (1917-1984) 曾連任印度總理長達 15 年之久,是印度第一位也是世界上任期最長的女性總理。
