问题     The word "winner" and "loser" have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who makes someone else lose. To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society.
    Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performancemaintainning pretence, and manipulating others. They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.
    Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use their own knowledge. They can separate facts from opinions and don’t pretend to have all the answers. They listen to others, evaluate what they say, but come to their own conclusions. Although winners can admire and respect other people, they are not totally defined, demolished, bound, or awed by them.
    Winners do not play "helpless", nor do they play the blaming game.  Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives.
选项
答案 赢者在其一生中并不致力于想象自己会成为什么样的人。相反，他们会非常客观地认识自己，因而不会花力气做样子、装腔作势、操纵别人等。他们清楚真正关爱他人与假装关爱他人之间、真傻和假傻之间，真有学问与装作有学问之间是有差别的。赢者无需匿身于面具之后。 赢者不惧怕独立思考和运用自己的知识。他们能够分清客观事实与主观看法，他们不会佯装可以解决所有问题。他们会听取别人的意见，评估别人所言，但结论都是自己作出。赢者也会敬仰、尊敬别人，但不会完全被他们限制、驳倒、束缚，也不会因为他们而畏怯。赢者不会故作无助，也不会玩怨天尤人的把戏。相反，他们会为自己的生活承担责任。
解析 <1>Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be...理解此句时可考虑它与后句之间的语义联系。从rather的使用可知二者之间存在对立或对比关系。这样可以更好地理解原句的意思，并作出灵活的翻译。
<2>as such此处表示“就以这种身份或资格”，“如所指的人或物那样”，即以赢者他们本来的身份而非伪装的身份行事。as such另一常用意思是“就其本身而论”。
<3>put on a performance做样子
<4>between being loving and acting loving，between being stupid and acting stupid between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable此处act为不及物动词，表示“假装”、“故意表现(为)”。理解此部分内容要结合上一句。
<5>have all the answers若直译其字面意思似乎不太符合汉语表达习惯。根据其意可转译为“解决所有问题”。
<6>define define的本义是“下定义”、“限定”、“规定”，根据上下文，我们可以用“限制”来译。
<7>demolish常表示“毁坏，拆毁”。此处取“驳倒(理论、论点等)”之义。
<8>play“helpless”此处play与上文中的act同义，表示“装作”、“假装”。
