大学四级英语听力:因梦想而伟大The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman: “How have you done so much in your lifetime?”一位特别胜利的商人曾经被人问起这样一个问题:“您如何在有生之年取得了这样的成就?” He replied, “I have dreamed. I have turned my mind loose to imagine what I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams. In the night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I awoke in the morning, I saw the way to make my dreams real. While other people were saying, ‘You can”t do that, it isn”t possible,’ I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted.” As Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the US, said: “We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers.” 他答复道:“我拥有幻想,大胆去遐想自己想做什么,然后躺在床上思索幻想。
夜里我就梦到了幻想早晨醒来后,我发觉了实现自己幻想的途径当别人仍在说:‘你做不到,那不行能’时,我已经为实现幻想而稳步前行了正如美国第28任总统伍德罗威尔逊所言:“我们因幻想而宏大,全部伟人都是幻想家 They see things in the soft haze of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter”s evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true. 在春天的薄雾中或是在漫漫冬夜的熊熊炉火旁,他们想象着要做的事情我们之中有些人会让这些宏大的幻想自生自灭,但是另一些人则会培育幻想并爱护幻想,身处人生低谷也不放弃幻想,直至见到太阳与光明。
而太阳与光明也总是垂青于那些真诚地盼望幻想成真的人 So please, don”t let anyone steal your dreams, or try to tell you they are too impossible. 那么,请别让他人偷走你的幻想,也别因他人说你的幻想太遥不行及而放弃 Sing your song, dream your dreams, hope your hope and walk on your own way. 唱你自己的歌,做你自己的梦,企盼你自己的盼望,走你自己的路吧!。
