守護(hù)你的夢(mèng)想英語(yǔ)作文

　　I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying: “I want to tell you a story. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

　　“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.

　　“He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’

　　“The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F?’ The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources . Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees . There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’

　　“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ Finally, after a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’ ”

　　Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.’ ”

　　“Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.” Monty at last concluded.

　　我有一個(gè)朋友叫蒙蒂·羅伯茨，他擁有一座養(yǎng)馬場(chǎng)。他讓我用他的房子作為舉辦籌集基金活動(dòng)的地點(diǎn)。上次我在他那兒時(shí)，他跟我說(shuō)：“我想給你講一個(gè)故事。這要追溯到一個(gè)年輕人身上發(fā)生的故事，他是一位巡回馴馬師的兒子，他的馴馬師父親從馬廄到賽馬場(chǎng)，從農(nóng)莊到牧場(chǎng)，負(fù)責(zé)訓(xùn)練那里的馬匹。結(jié)果，這個(gè)男孩的中學(xué)生涯就不斷地被中斷。當(dāng)他成為一名高年級(jí)學(xué)生的時(shí)候，老師要求他寫(xiě)一篇文章，內(nèi)容有關(guān)他長(zhǎng)大后想成為什么人以及想做些什么。

　　“那天夜里，他寫(xiě)了長(zhǎng)達(dá)七頁(yè)的文章，描述了自己將來(lái)有一天能擁有一座養(yǎng)馬場(chǎng)的目標(biāo)。他極其詳細(xì)地介紹了自己的這個(gè)夢(mèng)想，甚至還畫(huà)出了一幅200英畝牧場(chǎng)的示意圖，在上面標(biāo)出所有建筑、馬廄和跑道的具體位置。然后他又畫(huà)了一幅面積達(dá)4000平方英尺的房屋平面圖，這棟房子會(huì)坐落在200英畝的夢(mèng)想牧場(chǎng)上。

　　“他在這個(gè)項(xiàng)目上投入了很多心血，第二天，他把文章交給了老師。兩天后，他收到了自己的文章。在第一頁(yè)上，有一個(gè)大大的紅色F，并帶有一條批注：“課后來(lái)見(jiàn)我�！�

　　“這個(gè)懷揣夢(mèng)想的男孩課后去見(jiàn)那位老師，他問(wèn)：“為什么我得了一個(gè)F？”老師回答說(shuō)：“對(duì)于像你這樣的小男孩來(lái)說(shuō)，這是一個(gè)不切實(shí)際的夢(mèng)想。你沒(méi)錢(qián)。你出身于一個(gè)居無(wú)定所的家庭。你也沒(méi)什么才智謀略。要擁有一座養(yǎng)馬場(chǎng)需要很多錢(qián)。你得買(mǎi)地。你還得為原有的種畜付錢(qián)，之后，你將要支付大筆的種馬費(fèi)。你是永遠(yuǎn)也無(wú)法做到的�！彪S后，老師又補(bǔ)充道：“如果你針對(duì)一個(gè)更為實(shí)際的.目標(biāo)重寫(xiě)這篇文章的話，我會(huì)重新考慮你的成績(jī)的�！�

　　“這個(gè)男孩回家苦苦思索了很久，他問(wèn)自己的父親他該做些什么。父親回答說(shuō)：“哎，兒子，你必須要在這件事上自己下定決心。不過(guò)，我認(rèn)為這對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)非常重要的決定�！弊罱K，男孩在一周后交上了同樣一篇文章，他根本沒(méi)做任何更改。他表明：“你可以保留這個(gè)F，而我將繼續(xù)懷有我的這個(gè)夢(mèng)想。

　　然后，蒙蒂轉(zhuǎn)向聚集的人群說(shuō)：“我告訴你們這個(gè)故事，是因?yàn)槟銈兡壳罢谖?000平方英尺的房子里，它就坐落在我這200英畝的養(yǎng)馬場(chǎng)中心。我依然留著那份學(xué)校論文，把它裝在鏡框里，掛在壁爐的上方。”他補(bǔ)充道：“這個(gè)故事里最精彩的部分是，就在兩年前，同一位老師帶著30個(gè)孩子在我的牧場(chǎng)上露營(yíng)了一周的時(shí)間。當(dāng)那位老師離開(kāi)時(shí)，他說(shuō)：“喂，蒙蒂，我現(xiàn)在可以對(duì)你說(shuō)這些了，當(dāng)我做你老師的時(shí)候，我其實(shí)有點(diǎn)兒像一個(gè)偷夢(mèng)人。在那些歲月里，我偷走了很多孩子的夢(mèng)想。但幸運(yùn)的是，你有足夠的魄力，沒(méi)有放棄自己的夢(mèng)想�！�

　　“不要讓任何人偷走你的夢(mèng)想。無(wú)論怎樣都要跟隨你自己的心�！泵傻僮詈罂偨Y(jié)道。
