偉大的旅程皆始于夢(mèng)想我們大家都會(huì)做夢(mèng), 往往是在我們睡著的時(shí)候。做這樣的夢(mèng)可能弊大于利。例如，設(shè)想一下你夢(mèng)見(jiàn)自己在吃麥粒，結(jié)果醒來(lái)卻發(fā)現(xiàn)半張床墊沒(méi)了！不過(guò)，我要說(shuō)的并不是這種夢(mèng)境。確切地說(shuō)，我所想的是人的愿景、抱負(fù)或?qū)ξ磥?lái)的熾烈希望。我們的夢(mèng)想是我們的靈魂之歌。沒(méi)有靈魂的生命就只是僅有軀殼的形體存在。有了夢(mèng)想，生命才會(huì)富有意義和目標(biāo)。 尼爾皮爾特既是Rush搖滾樂(lè)隊(duì)的鼓手和主要詞作者，也是一位作家和哲人。請(qǐng)看他是何等優(yōu)美地表述了生活和夢(mèng)想之間的關(guān)系：“生命就像一支蠟燭，而由夢(mèng)想將其點(diǎn)燃。”安利公司的創(chuàng)始人理查德M德沃斯也談及希望之火：“一個(gè)人心懷夢(mèng)想和大志，時(shí)時(shí)刻刻地在渴望和希望，卻沒(méi)有嘗試將這一切付諸現(xiàn)實(shí)， 還有比這種人的生命更富悲劇性的嗎？他的夢(mèng)想只能發(fā)出搖曳的微弱光亮，卻永遠(yuǎn)不能迸發(fā)出火焰?！?我們大多數(shù)人都有自己的夢(mèng)想、抱負(fù)或者說(shuō)是心之欲望。但問(wèn)題在于我們大多數(shù)人都將夢(mèng)想的開關(guān)置于“關(guān)閉”位置。不管什么時(shí)候，只要我們說(shuō)“我不能，”我們就切斷了開關(guān)。 無(wú)論何時(shí)，只要我們相信我們能做，我們就開啟了按鈕。就是這么簡(jiǎn)單，不是嗎？?jī)H僅因?yàn)橄嘈抛约河心芰ψ瞿呈?，并不意味就不?huì)有任何問(wèn)題。但是一旦我相信我能去做，我就會(huì)去為我遇到的每一個(gè)問(wèn)題尋求破解的辦法。生活的法則就是如此惟有所求，方有所得，我欲尋求破解之法，則我必會(huì)成功。任何有價(jià)值的夢(mèng)想都值得去奮斗實(shí)現(xiàn)。一旦我認(rèn)識(shí)到我可以去實(shí)施這一夢(mèng)想，下一步就是承諾一定完成。一旦做出承諾，就會(huì)迸發(fā)出巨大的力量。原本看似不可逾越的屏障頃刻之間就會(huì)化為招人嬉笑的無(wú)足輕重的小小障礙而已。夢(mèng)想不必宏大方顯偉大。我們不必要求成為世上最偉大的鋼琴家、奧運(yùn)獎(jiǎng)牌得主，抑或是國(guó)際知名的超級(jí)巨星。我的一個(gè)嬸嬸平生大部分時(shí)間在一家百貨公司賣手套。她的夢(mèng)想就是成為周圍最為和氣和最為有求必應(yīng)的售貨員。年復(fù)一年，回頭客總會(huì)頻繁惠顧，特來(lái)尋她購(gòu)物。她讓每個(gè)人購(gòu)物的這一天快樂(lè)高興，感動(dòng)著成千上萬(wàn)的生命。她的夢(mèng)想比之于要人顯貴之宏愿，其意義會(huì)稍遜一籌嗎？決然不會(huì)。我們都有能力去追尋一個(gè)會(huì)對(duì)我們自己和我們周遭的產(chǎn)生影響的夢(mèng)想。 在我們的夢(mèng)想能夠現(xiàn)實(shí)之前，難道我們不應(yīng)該懷擁夢(mèng)想嗎？難道我們懷擁夢(mèng)想的理由還不夠充分嗎？歸根結(jié)底，我們?nèi)绾文茏叩帽任覀兊膲?mèng)想更遠(yuǎn)？我們又如何能比我們的夢(mèng)想更顯偉大？沉思集作者詹姆斯艾倫曾經(jīng)抒發(fā)過(guò)同樣的想法，“去懷擁崇高的夢(mèng)想吧。懷有夢(mèng)想，你就會(huì)美夢(mèng)成真。你的愿景是你有朝一日必將如斯成長(zhǎng)的承諾，你的理想是你要將自己的抱負(fù)最終展示于世的預(yù)言。”Ex. 7Translate the following sentences into English. 1.

Your aspiration is the reality of what you shall possess one day.我們的夢(mèng)想追求 許多人只是活著而已，他們沒(méi)有目標(biāo)、欲望或抱負(fù)。他們也許在人生的某個(gè)時(shí)候有過(guò)雄心壯志，但是卻遭遇了絕望、曲折和失敗。片刻后他們就自甘不再上天摘星，而是安于塵俗。 畫家、雕塑家、建筑師兼詩(shī)人的米開朗基羅?博那羅蒂曾說(shuō)：“于吾輩眾人，危之大者，不在目標(biāo)之高而難達(dá)，在過(guò)低而易就。” 在大多數(shù)情況下，我們每個(gè)人伸手可及的目標(biāo)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)多于我們的自我感知。但我們屈服于平庸，自甘于接受遠(yuǎn)低于我們的能力所及。 孩提時(shí)代， 我們敢于夢(mèng)想；及至成人，面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)生活我們放棄了愿景，把它視為虛幻的可能。我們不再生活，不再學(xué)習(xí)，不再進(jìn)取，過(guò)早迎來(lái)人生的夭亡，令人羞愧。我們滿足于只去少取，而將爭(zhēng)取更多的努力視為不值一為。獲取偉大目標(biāo)的可能于是化為自我抉擇的無(wú)法成就之欲念。我們自暴自棄，將夢(mèng)想和可能皆予丟棄。哦，因?yàn)榭謶趾腿狈π坌?，多少偉業(yè)目標(biāo)未曾發(fā)現(xiàn)，多少可能機(jī)遇憾遭埋沒(méi)。也許你曾遇到過(guò)這樣一些人，他們對(duì)你和你的能力缺乏信心，他們對(duì)你坦言相告的夢(mèng)想或愿景表示懷疑。你并非別人所看到的你，而是你自己的所思所為。他人無(wú)法控制你的夢(mèng)想和愿景，也無(wú)法減損你的欲求向往。只有你自己才是你生活追求的主宰?；蛟S有些夢(mèng)想和愿景反映的是你的自私野心，因此會(huì)遭到他人的怨恨。你的有些成就展現(xiàn)的或許是發(fā)展成長(zhǎng)，而另外一些則可能會(huì)證明有妒忌之心。有些宏愿的實(shí)施也許只涉及寥寥幾人，但卻會(huì)惠及許多人。我們應(yīng)該謹(jǐn)慎抉擇我們的抱負(fù)理想，將利好了然于胸，方可付諸實(shí)現(xiàn)，因?yàn)橹挥泄诮^群峰的高遠(yuǎn)夢(mèng)想會(huì)惠及他人，受到眾人瞻仰，并且經(jīng)久不衰。我們的許多成就是我們離開這個(gè)世界時(shí)留下的遺產(chǎn)。但是許多人卻從未在生前受用過(guò)他們希望留下的遺產(chǎn)。小奧利佛W霍姆斯曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)，“許多人直到死時(shí)也沒(méi)能唱出他們心中的歌兒。 何以如此?往往是因?yàn)樗麄兛偸窃跒槭苡蒙钭鰷?zhǔn)備。等到察覺(jué)時(shí)為時(shí)已晚?！?無(wú)論我們年齡多大，我們都應(yīng)該始終有設(shè)定的目標(biāo)，且渴望不斷地進(jìn)取，追尋夢(mèng)想和愿景。夢(mèng)想不只是年輕人的所為。生命不息，進(jìn)取不止。只要一息尚存，我們就要學(xué)會(huì)盡情地享受生活，直到咽下最后一口氣?；钪?，就該活得愉快，讓死亡充滿許多意義豐盈的受用生活的氣息，并讓人們羨慕我們受用過(guò)的生活，而不是我們積累下來(lái)的財(cái)物。 沒(méi)有人會(huì)不帶旅行指南或地圖貿(mào)然上路旅行，踏上通達(dá)目的地的道路。所以，在生活的歷程中我們不可不設(shè)目標(biāo)，不可不緊跟夢(mèng)想的指引。 記住，只要一息尚存，你就還沒(méi)有到達(dá)終點(diǎn)。不要忘記，今天的作為就是構(gòu)成你追求過(guò)的夢(mèng)想的要件。因此，要設(shè)定目標(biāo)并帶著激情和愿景去行動(dòng)，使設(shè)定的目標(biāo)成為你生命的一部分和傳世永存的未來(lái)遺產(chǎn)。“財(cái)物”將會(huì)被遺忘，但你的功業(yè)將使你永垂不朽。 Ex. 13Fill the blanks with the words given below. attain demonstrate cease pursue passion ingredients destination insane ambitious accumulateEx. 14Complete the following sentences with phrases or expressions from the passage. capable of left behind settled for reached for ran intoEx. 15Translate the following sentences into English. 1.
