INTRODUCTION

Turn setbacks into greenbacks is a book which studies on how to survive in economic recession times, and tell us when a career develops a new level of magnitude, what is the economic setback. It is a successful inspirational book. This translation practice are excerpts from the second, three, and four chapters “Don’t Willingly Participate or Commiserate”，“Don’t Let Your Pride Poison Your Prosperity”，“Don’t Stop Thinking and Dreaming about the Power and Possibilities of  Tomorrow”.

The three chapters of the translation show the reader how to deal with the recession and describe several specific programs and action steps. The whole text uses narrative techniques, takes a lot of examples to prove the power of positive thinking.

The first part is “Don’t Willingly Participate or Commiserate,” including not buy into bad luck, melancholy and negative thoughts. The author tells us to be independent, insistent and don't follow the crowd from the angle of real life. To meet life's challenges and pursue your dreams bravely..

The second part is” Don’t Let Your Pride Poison Your Prosperity.” This part mainly introduces a series of hazards, such as self-pride, so that you don't want to try new ideas. At the same time it also talks about the pride that makes us self-confident and self-respect.

     The third part is “never stop thinking and the dream of tomorrow”. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. When we encounter difficulties and setbacks, we need to look up thinking, to think from another angle, so that we can understand the new possibilities.

     My paper mainly summarizes the translation of the general content, and analyzes the problems and difficulties and solvable methods. Besides, I learn and conclude a lot for translation practice. The last is about translation theory and technique.
