Though "No" is a very little word, it is not always easy to say it; and the not doing so, often causes trouble.

雖然“不”是個非常簡單的詞語，可是要說出來并不總是容易的；而不把它說出來，常常會引來麻煩。

When we are asked to stay away from school, and spend in idleness or mischief the time which ought to be spent in study, we should at once say "No."

如果有人叫我們逃學，懶散度日或者把應該用于學習的時間用來調(diào)皮搗蛋，我們應該馬上說“不”。

When we are urged to loiter on our way to school, and thus be late, and interrupt our teacher and the school, we should say "No."

當有人慫恿我們在上學的路上消磨時間，從而遲到、打斷老師上課或者學校的活動，我們應該說“不”。

When some schoolmate wishes us to whisper or play in the schoolroom, we should say "No."

當有的同學想要我們在教室里交頭接耳或玩耍，我們應該說“不”。

When we are tempted to use angry or wicked words, we should remember that the eye of God is always upon us, and should say "No."

當我們受到誘惑，想要使用憤怒或邪惡的言語時，我們應該記住上帝的眼睛無時無刻不在注視著我們，我們應該說“不”。

When we have done anything wrong, and are tempted to conceal it by falsehood, we should say "No, we can not tell a lie; it is wicked and cowardly."

當我們做了錯事，卻想要用謊話來掩飾時，我們應該說“不，我們不能說謊，那是邪惡而懦弱的行為。”

If we are asked to do anything which we know to be wrong, we should not fear to say "No."

要是有人要求我們做任何我們知道是錯的事情，我們應該勇敢無畏地說“不”。

If we thus learn to say "No," we shall avoid much trouble,and be always safe.

如果我們就此學會說“不”，我們將會避免許多麻煩，長享平安。
