1. “When young people say it is difficult to earn a living nowadays, I tell them to work hard, keep their chin up and they will go places.”
2. In English, when we tell someone to keep their chin up, we are telling them to stay positive in a tough situation.

译文:
1. 当年轻人说现在这个时候谋生很困难;我告诉他们只要努力工作、不灰心,那么他们将一定会成功。
2. 英文中,当我们告诉别人 keep their chin up,我们就是跟他们说在非常困难的时候要保持乐观。

chin = 下巴

keep one’s chin up = [口]不灰心, 振作起来, 不泄气

go places = to become very successful,很成功
