關於夢想的英語文章欣賞

　　夢想是什麼?是一朵絢爛、美麗、長開不敗的春花。夢想之所以美好，是因為我們可以隨意創造。下面是小編帶來的，歡迎閱讀!

　　篇一

　　夢想美好未來Dreaming about Future

　　Now is the time to dream. When things are at their worst, when people say there is no hope, when the future looks bleak, now is the time to dream.

　　Forget about transport hikes, CPF cuts, ERP and GST raises. There is so much more in store, greater things to see, new heights to reach, new depths to hollow. Now is the time to dream.

　　If we have a large enough ambition to serve an entire community ourselves instead of looking to the government for answers, would not ours be a better place? If we enlarge our thinking and invite a wider circle to contribute to the vision of a better Singapore, is it not better than complaining about long queues and less savings?

　　Is it not better that we dream dreams and reach for more instead of concentrating on what we have less?

　　So let us meet, let us talk, let us gather in discussion for a better Singapore. Let us articulate our hopes, our missions, our values and our vision instead of waiting for the government to state it for us.

　　Let us recognise and respect diverse approaches and questions and celebrate our unique Singapore culture, a blend of many races, born out of adversity but perhaps spoiled in prosperity.

　　And let us not laugh, declare foolish or cower in alarm if different views result from our efforts. Those who emerge strongest, as Singapore did 37 years ago, belonged to many races, many aptitudes, many interests, and many points-of-view but happened to pull together.

　　Should we be fired with a passionate vision to work on something that needs doing, let us not wait for the government to give us a grant, a handout or a memo on how to go about doing it.

　　Let us move, on our own accord, with the community, expecting nothing but seeing everything.

　　Do you know how the future should look? Do you see a better way? There is no need to wait. There is no need to recline and rest in mock desperation. Complaining does nothing.

　　Waiting for a suggestion from above does nothing. Hoping to strike 4D is nothing. Rather, let us meet, let us talk, let us gather in discussion for a better Singapore.

　　We are not hopeless. We are not children without voices. But we are restricted in our own minds. We self-censor our thoughts for fear of reprisal.

　　We hush our voices for fear of being heard. And perhaps we are also bound by our own laziness.

　　The government, after all, can do the thinking for us. Our sense of civic duty to engage in public debate and critical thinking is lost except unfortunately for issues that affect our pockets.

　　But understand this: We may not be in government but we are whom the government works for. We can contribute and do instead of follow. We can let go of our parent's hand and grow up. Now is the time to dream.

　　Perhaps all of us have tentative notions about the future. Some of us fear, some of us rejoice. Only a few of us will probably see correctly and understand how to get there.

　　Not all of us will be good at identifying and analysing problems. Solutions will perhaps escape most of us. But without discourse, without sharing, we do not even give ourselves the simple chance of being able to try to work things out.

　　夢想美好的未來

　　現在是夢想美好未來的時候。當情況已經糟透了，當人們表示感到絕望，當前路似乎沒有曙光時，我們更應該有夢有理想。

　　不要再為車資漲價、公積金繳交率削減、公路電子收費和消費稅提高耿耿於懷。生命裡還有更多的期待和更美好的事物，我們要更深刻的體驗生活和攀登更高峰。現在正是夢想美好未來的時候。

　　如果我們有為社會服務的遠大目標，不凡事都要求政府提供答案，我們的社會會不會變得更美好?集思廣益讓更多人提供創造一個更美好新加坡願景的意見，會不會比花時間投訴銀行的人龍越來越長，戶頭的儲蓄卻越來越少來得有意義?

　　設法實現我們的夢想取得更多收穫，難道不比沉湎於我們已經失去多少來得實際?所以，我們應該面對面交換意見，探討如何把新加坡變成一個更好的家園。讓我們說出我們的希望、意見、價值觀和期待，不要等政府為我們一一列明。

　　我們應該認可和尊重不同的問題和處理問題的方式，歡慶新加坡獨特的多元種族文化。我們的社會在逆境中成長，國人卻可能已經被長期的繁榮寵壞。

　　如果我們的努力導致不同意見的出現，我們也不應該互相譏諷、嘲笑或感到擔憂。我們在37年前建國時，那些經得起考驗的強者，來自不同種族，有不同的才能、不同的興趣和不同的看法，但卻因為共同的目標團結一致。

　　如果我們認為某些事情應該義不容辭的去做，就不需要等政府點頭、給我們提供資助或者一份如何進行的書面指示。

　　讓我們自動自發的和社群一起行動起來。我們只問耕耘，不問收穫，但是努力的成果總是看得到的。

　　你所要的是怎麼樣的未來?你有沒有更好的設想?不要再等下去，更不要以絕望無助的姿態坐視不理，怨天尤人並不能解決問題。

　　祈望上天有所指示或希望中馬票都於事無補。我們應該結合大家探討如何把新加坡變成一個更好的家園。

　　我們並非無能為力，也不是無法表達自己看法的小孩子，我們只是衝不出思想的桎梏。因為害怕會有嚴重的後果，我們自行審查我們言行。因為害怕隔牆有耳，我們連說話也得放低聲音。當然，惰性也使我們安於現狀，反正政府會為人民設想周到。

　　很不幸的，正是這種想法使我們失去了作為公民應有義務參與辯論和深入分析問題的責任感，除非有關的課題會影響我們的口袋，我們才會有所反應。

　　我們必須明白，我們雖然不是政府，政府卻應該為民服務。不過，我們也可以通過具體行動作出貢獻而不是一味追隨政府的政策。我們可以放開父母的手，學習自己走路。

　　我們對於未來都有一些模糊的概念，有些人感到恐懼，有些人則充滿喜悅。大概只有一些人能夠認清並知道如何達到目標。

　　不是所有的人都有能力確認和分析，更談不上解決問題。但是，如果完全沒有參與任何討論和交流，我們就連嘗試克服困難的機會都不給自己。

　　Perhaps compromising a little is good, perhaps it matters to try different things.

　　篇三

　　堅持夢想 永不放棄

　　The adolescent girl from Tennessee is standing on the stage of a drama summer camp in upstate New York. It's a beautiful day. But the girl doesn't feel beautiful. She's not the leggy, glamorous Hollywood type. In fact, she describes herself as dorky.

　　一名少女由田納西州來到紐約北部，她站在戲劇夏令營的舞臺上，雖然天氣是那麼好，她的心情卻一點也不好。因為她不是那種身材頎長、豐腴美豔的好萊塢式美女，實際上她形容自己是“土裡土氣，還有點傻”。

　　Since she was six years old, Reese Witherspoon has wanted to be a country singer. And Dolly Parton is her idol. But this flat-chested wisp of a girl is no Dolly Parton. Nevertheless, all of this summer she's been acting, dancing and singing---giving it her best.

　　從六歲開始，里斯•威瑟斯龐就夢想著成為一名鄉村歌手，多莉•帕頓是她心中的偶像。但她可一點都不像多莉•帕頓，她胸部扁平，身材纖細。然而，整個夏天她都在盡全力地表演，跳舞和唱歌.

　　Play to your strengths. If you're going to make it in this business, it's not going to be on sexy—that's not who you are. Better focus on what you're good at. Celebrate yourself.

　　發揮長處。如果想在這一行發展，不要走自己不擅長的性感路線。更好地專注於自己的特長，為自己喝彩。

　　Despite three years of lessons, at the end of camp her coaches tell her to forget about singing. They suggest she think about another career. If Reese did have talent, it was hiding under her skinny, mousy frame and her Coke-bottle glasses.

　　她已經上了三年的聲樂課程，但夏令營結束時，老師們還是告訴她應該忘掉唱歌這件事兒，另謀出路。如果里斯確實有天分的話，那也是給她纖細的身材和厚如可樂瓶底兒的眼鏡遮蓋住了。

　　Still, she takes their words to heart. After all, why shouldn't she believe the professionals?

　　雖然心有不甘，可她還是聽從了建議，畢竟，她有什麼理由懷疑專業人士呢?

　　But back at home in Nashville, her mother — a funny, happy, upbeat person — wouldn't let her mope. Her father, a physician, encouraged her to achieve in school. So she worked hard at everything and was accepted at Stanford University.

　　但回到位於納什維爾的家裡，她的媽媽——一名風趣、快樂、樂觀的兒科護士——可不會讓里斯感到絲毫的沮喪。她的爸爸是一名醫生，他鼓勵女兒在學業上有所成就。於是，她凡事努力，終於被斯坦福大學錄取。

　　And at age 19, she got a part in a low-budget movie called Freeway. That led to a substantial role in the movie Pleasantville. But her big break came with Legally Blonde.

　　19歲那年，她出演了一部低成本電影《極速驚魂》。這為她後來在《歡樂谷》中爭取到真正重要的角色奠定了基礎。而她真正的破冰之作是影片《律政俏佳人》。

　　Well, she decided, "if you can't sing and you aren't glamorous, play to your strengths. If you're going to make it in this business, it's not going to be on sexy — that's not who you are. Better focus on what you've good at. Celebrate yourself." And then came the offer that took her back to her Nashville roots — playing the wife of tormented country star Johnny Cash. A singing role.

　　她暗下決心：“既然自己沒有歌唱天分，又不是光彩照人，那就盡力演出。要想在這行做下去，就不要在性感上做文章了——自己不是那種型別的。最好在自己擅長的方面下功夫。要展示自己。”這時，她接到片約，邀她出演約翰尼•卡什——一個飽受折磨的鄉村歌手——的妻子，這是個需要演員有唱功的角色，該片約又把她帶回到納什維爾的家鄉。

　　All of a sudden the old fears were back. She was so nervous on the set, a reporter wrote, she "kept a sick bucket" nearby and admitted she "would go backstage after a singing scene and shake." But she didn't give up on the movie or herself.

　　突然，舊時所有的恐懼感又回來了，一名記者報道說，她在臺上實在是太緊張了，甚至在一邊“準備了嘔吐時要用的痰盂”，她自己也承認“每唱完一幕回到後臺，自己都在發抖”。但她沒放棄那部電影，也沒放棄自己。

　　The humor and drive she learned at home overcame the self-doubt learned on that summer stage. She spent 6 months taking singing lessons again. She learned to play the Autoharp. And the hard work built up her confidence.

　　她在家學到的幽默和動力克服了在夏季舞臺上產生的自我懷疑。她用六個月的時間重新開始學習聲樂。她還學會了演奏豎琴。不懈的努力讓她重拾信心。

　　Last March, Reese Witherspoon walked up on another stage, the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, and accepted the Oscar as Best Actress for her heartbreaking, heartwarming singing role as June Carter Cash in Walk the Line.

　　2006年3月，里斯•威瑟斯龐走上了另一個舞臺——好萊塢的柯達劇院。憑藉在影片《一往無前》裡飾演的瓊•卡特•卡什這一歌唱角色，她獲得了奧斯卡最佳女演員獎，她在片中飾演的角色令人心碎，但也讓人心暖。

　　Finally, as you read these accounts of Reese Witherspoon, consider the obstacles she met. The lesson of the story, I suppose, is that instead of making dozen excuses why you can not realize your dreams, think about this story, just hold to your dream and never give up.

　　最後，當你讀瑞茜威•瑟彭斯的故事時，想想她遇到的挫折。我認為，這個故事告訴我們，與其找藉口解釋夢想為什麼不能實現，不如想想這個故事，堅持你的夢想，永不放棄。
