答案：译文：
每日学习者
苏轼是一位伟大的中国诗人，也是一位勤奋的学习者。一天，他的朋友朱载上拜访他家。然而，朱载上不得不等很长时间，苏轼才出来迎接他。最后，苏轼冲了出来。“很抱歉让你久等了，” 苏轼说，“我正忙着完成我的日常功课。”
朱载上很好奇。“你的日常功课是什么？” 他问道。
“抄写《汉书》。” 苏轼回答。朱载上非常惊讶。“以你的天赋，你能记住你读的所有东西！你真的需要亲手抄一本书来记住它吗？”
苏轼说：“到目前为止，我已经读过《汉书》，并且抄了三遍。第一次，我每段抄三个字作为标题。第二次，我每段抄两个字作为标题。现在，我只用一个字。”
听到这话，朱载上说：“我可以看看你抄的书吗？”
苏轼把抄本递给他，说：“随便从标题里选一个字吧。”
朱载上选了一个字。苏轼立刻凭记忆背诵了数百字，一字不差。
朱载上真的很惊讶。后来，他对儿子朱新仲说：“苏轼如此有天赋，却仍然如此努力！所以…… 天赋稍差的人怎么能不努力学习呢？” 朱新仲把关于勤奋重要性的这一教训传给了他的儿子。
