15. Don't Rely on Luck!
第15课 勿心存侥幸
Passing exams is every student's dream.
考试及格是每个学生的梦想;
Failing them is their nightmare.

So, to realize their dreams, many students try anything.
因此，许多学生为了实现他们的梦想，会去偿试各种方法。
They even go to fortune tellers, buy lucky charms and follow old customs.
他们甚至会去找算命先生、买幸运符并遵循古老的风俗。
In Korea, many students bury something personal in the university they want to enter.
在韩国，有很多学生会把自己的一些私人物品埋在想要就读的那所大学的地下。
They believe that these things will act as magnets and "pull" them into the university.
他们相信这些东西会像磁铁一样，把他们“吸”进那所大学。
Whether it works or not, nobody really knows.
它是不是真的有效，没有人真正知道。
At least it does ease the students' minds about passing exams.
至少可以使学生想到通过考试时，心情能够舒缓下来。
Remember, though, you can't always rely on luck.
不过要记住，你不能永远靠运气过日子。
There is no substitute for hard work.
努力可是无法取代的。
