Lesson 4
第四课
The geese in a formation honk from behind to encourage those in front to keep up their speed.
为了鼓励队形前方的大雁,后面的雁群往往发出鼓励叫声 。
We need to make sure our honking from behind is encouraging and not something else.
我们需要确信雁叫声是从后面发出的,而不是别的什么地方 。
In groups where there is great encouragement against great obstacles, the production is much greater.
在一个团队中,拥有强大的鼓励而不是巨大的障碍,那么成效会更大 。
This is the power of encouragement. At the center of encouragement is "courage", and the root of courage is a Latin word that means "heart". Maybe honking strengthens the heart.
这就是鼓励的力量 。鼓励的核心是勇气,勇气的根本是一个拉丁词语,意思是“心” 。也许雁叫声让心变得强大了 。
Lesson 5
第五课
When a goose gets sick, or wounded, or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it to help and protect it.
当一只雁生病了,或者被枪害了,另外两只大雁将会脱离队形并紧紧跟着那只大雁,保护和帮助它 。
They stay with it until it is either able to fly again or dies.
它们一直陪伴着那只大雁直到它再次能飞或者死亡 。
Then they launch out on their own with another formation or catch up with the flock.
然后他们才会继续飞行,追赶前面的队伍 。
If we have as much sense as geese, we too will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.
如果具备大雁这种团队意识,我们将会像大雁那样肩并肩的一起战斗!
