If you will it, it is no dream. But if you do not will it, then it remains a dream.
1. will 在此用作及物动词。意为“极力要某事发生;决心做某事”。try to make something happen;be determined to do something。比“希望”的程度要大。it 指代something。因为是格言,用 it 更简练。will 的更多例句,仔细体会其含义:一个是“决心”,一个是“竭力”。 He was convinced he could win if he willed it enough. 如果他坚定决心,他确信自己可以赢。 This happened because God willed it. 发生了这件事是上帝的旨意。 As a child he had thought he could fly, if he willed it enough. 他小时候曾经以为,只要有足够决心,想要飞就能飞起来。 《牛津词典》 He willed himself not to panic. 他竭力让自己不要恐慌。 《牛津词典》 She willed her eyes to stay open. 她使劲睁着眼睛。 《牛津词典》 I willed my eyes to open and heaved myself over on to my back. 我竭力睁开眼睛,费劲地翻过身来仰面躺着。 《柯林斯高阶英汉双解学习词典》
2. it is no dream 与 it is not a dream,虽说意思差不多,但用 no 否定名词比 not 否定动词,语气更强烈一些。 网友的理解基本正确。我重译一下: 如果你决心去奋斗,那就不是梦想。但如果你不能竭尽全力,那么它仍然是一个梦想。
