英语智慧背囊 05-生活好比自主快餐

[00:00.00]Life is Like a Cafeteria 生活好比自助快餐馆
[00:05.41]A friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe.
[00:11.31]After settling down at Ellis Island,
[00:14.92]he went into a cafeteria in lower Manhattan to get something to eat.
[00:19.62]He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order.
[00:25.42]Of course nobody did.
[00:27.84]Finally, a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him
[00:32.98]and informed him how a cafeteria worked.
[00:36.25]"Start out at that end," she said.
[00:39.85]"Just go along the line and pick out what you want.
[00:43.48]At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay."
[00:47.52]"I soon learned that’s how everything works in America,"
[00:52.33]the grandfather told a friend.
[00:54.19]"Life’s a cafeteria here.
[00:57.36]You can get anything you want
[00:59.75]as long as you are willing to pay the price.
[01:02.17]You can even get success,
[01:04.15]but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you.
[01:08.41]You have to get up and get it yourself."
