“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can carry on, one day something good will happen. And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previousdisappointment.”

　　每当我遇到挫折时，母亲就会说：“一切都会好的。如果你 坚持下去，总有一天会有好事发生。你会认识到，如果没有以前的挫折就不会有现在的一切。”

　　Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932.I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer. I hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station — and got turned down every time.

　　母亲是对的，发现这个是在1932年，我刚从大学毕业。我 已决定试着在电台找个事儿做，然后争取做体育节目的播音 员。我搭便车到了芝加哥,挨个电台地敲门推销自己——但每次都被拒绝了。

　　In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring inexperienced person. “Go out in the Sticks and find a small station that’ll give you a chance，” she said.

　　在一个播音室里，一位好心的女士告诉我，大的广播电台 是不会冒险雇用没经验的新手的。“去乡下找一家给你机会的小电台吧她说。

　　I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois. While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me. But I wasn't hired.

　　我搭车来到我的家乡，那是伊利诺斯州的迪克森。在迪克 森当时还没有电台播音员这样的工作，父亲说，蒙哥马利·沃德开了一家新商店，想雇请一个本地的运动员管理店里的体育部。我中学时曾在迪克森打过橄榄球，出于这个原因我去申请了这份工作。工作听起来挺适合我的，但是我没被聘用。

　　My disappointment must have shown. " Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
