[00:03.78]Dig a Little Deeper再挖深一点
[00:07.66]There’s a story about the California gold rush
[00:10.83]that tells of two brothers who sold all they had
[00:13.96]and went prospecting 1 for gold.
[00:16.43]They discovered a vein 2 of the shining ore ,staked a claim
[00:20.85] and proceeded to get down to the serious business of getting the gold ore out of the mine.
[00:26.53]All went well at first,
[00:28.61]but then a strange thing happened.
[00:31.13] The vein of gold ore disappeared!
[00:33.86] They had come to the end of the rainbow,
[00:36.38]and the pot of gold was no longer there.
[00:39.42] The brothers continued to pick away, but without success.
[00:44.01]Finally, they gave up in disgust.
[00:47.29]They sold their equipment and claim rights for a few hundred dollars,
[00:51.63] and took the train back home.
[00:53.71]Now the man who bought the claim hired an engineer to examine the rock strata 3 of the mine.
[01:00.05] The engineer advised him to continue digging in the same spot
[01:04.35]where the former owners had left off.
[01:06.87]And three feet deeper, the new owner struck gold.
[01:11.03]A little more persistence 4 and the two brothers would have been millionaires themselves.
[01:16.28]That’s gold in you too. Do you need to dig three feet farther?
