　　The cartoon depicts that a strong person is trying to find gold out of a huge stone. Holding an ax with his firm hands, he is hewing out of the stone of despair a piece of precious gold. The caption indicates that, “Only through Innovation can we make progress and conservatism means regression.”

　　The purpose of the drawing is to show us that utmost importance should be attached to innovation and creativity. To begin with, an attitude of innovation could be said to be the watchword, or motto of science. Think of all the innumerable times a scientific experiment must be carried out, all the laboratory tests, all the live trials, before a new medicine or vaccine is discovered. In addition, innovation is also responsible for many of today’s business successes. For instance, I personally worked with such a company and its entrepreneur. It was only after four years and four different tries of varying business models that he finally found success, and went to become the chairman of one of the largest Internet companies.

　　To sum up, in any field of endeavor, whether it be in medicine, engineering or in business, it seems necessary to first put great emphasis on innovation before one can finally reach success. It is as if life is testing us, testing our innovation and creativity to see if we are really dedicated to our vision, before life finally rewards us with success.

　　参考译文

　　这幅图画描述了一个强壮的人正在试图从一颗巨石中找到黄金。他用坚定的双手举着一把斧头，从绝望之石中开采出希望之金。文字说明显示：“创新才能发展，守业就是退步。”

　　这幅漫画的目的是告诉我们应该充分重视创新。首先，创新的态度可以说是科学研究的信条。想想看，只有在进行了无数次的科学实验、实验室检测和活体试验之后，才能发明出新药物和新疫苗。其次，创新也是当今许多企业能够成功的原因。我本人曾在这样一家公司工作过。这家公司曾经尝试了四种不同的商业模式，历经四年才取得成功。后来这家企业的老总也当上了最大一家互联网公司的董事长。

　　总之，在任何领域，无论是医学、工程还是商业，一个人似乎只有在重视创新之后，才能获得最后的成功。生活好像是在考验我们，考验我们的创新能力，看看我们是否能专注与自己的理想，最后才会给予我们成功。
