双语有声阅读：梦想成就伟大

The question was once asked of a highly¹ successful businessman, “How have you done so much in your lifetime²?”

曾经有人问一个非常成功的商人“你的人生为何如此成功？”

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.

他回答道：“因为我有梦想。我放飞我的心灵驰骋想象，想象我要做的事情。之后，带着这些想象进入梦乡，在梦里我再次看见了我的梦想。当我第二天醒来时，我便找到了我实现梦想的途径”。

 While other people were saying, 'You can't do that, it is impossible,' “I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted.” As Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the U.S., said: “We grow great by dreams.

而其他人则说“你做不到，那不可能”。“而我总是坚持实现自己梦想的路。”就像美国第28届总统伍德罗·威尔逊所说“梦想成就伟大”。

“All big men are dreamers.” They see things in the soft haze³ of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter's evening.

“所有伟大的人都是梦想家。”他们在春天的迷雾中看到生机，在冬日夜晚的火苗里看到希望。

Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish⁴ 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.

而我们中的一些人却让梦想死去。而另一些人则养育和呵护着他们的梦想，哪怕经历磨难，他们仍不放弃，直到有一天重见光明。所以只有那些真心希望并坚持梦想的人最终才能让梦想成真。

 

So please, don't let anyone steal your dreams, or try to tell you they are too impossible. "Sing your songs, and dream your dreams, hope your hope and pray your prayer⁵."

因此，请不要让任何人偷走你的梦想，或者试图告诉你梦不可能实现。“唱自己的歌，做自己的梦，给你的希望以希望，给你的祈祷以祈祷。”
