高中英語作文:追夢人 1
When I was nine years old living in a small town in North Carolina I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a childrens magazine. I thought to myself I could do this.I begged my mother to let me send for the kit.
Two weeks later when the kit arrived, I ripped1 off the brown paper wrapper,grabbed the cards and dashed from the house. Three hours later, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money proclaiming, "Mama, all the people couldntt wait to buy my cards!"A salesperson was born.
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Ziegler. I remembered sitting in that dark auditorium listening to Mr. Ziegler, who raised everyones spirits up to the ceiling, I left there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, "Dad,I want to make people feel like that."My father asked me what I meant."I want to be a motivational2 speaker just like Mr Ziegler."I replied. A dream was born.
Recently, I began pursuing my dream of motivating others. After a four-year relationship with a major fortune 100 company beginning as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager,I left the company at the height of my career. Many people were astounded3 that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked why I would risk everything for a dream.
I made my decision to start my own company and leave my secure position after attending a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a speech that changed my life. He asked us,"If a genie would grant you three wishes what would they be?"After giving us a moment to write down the three wishes, he then asked us,"Why do you need a genie?"I would never forget the empowerment I felt at that moment.
I realized that everything I had accomplished the graduate degree, the successful sales career, speaking engagements, training and managing for a fortune 100 company had prepared me for this moment——I was ready and did not need a genies help to become a motivational speaker. When I tearfully told my boss about my plans, then this incredible leader whom I respect so much replied,"P recede with reckless abandon and you will be successful."
Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job. We had recently bought a new home and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage payment and now we were done to no income. It was tempting to turn back to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided to move forward rather than end up with a mouthful of"if onlys"later on. A motivational speaker was born.
When I held fast to my dream, even during the tough times. The miracles really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job . We didnt miss a mortgage payment.And I was able to book several speaking engagements with new clients. I discovered the incredible power of dreams. I loved my old job, my peers and the company I left, but it was time to get on with my dream. To celebrate my success I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden. At the top of one wall she stenciled, "The world always makes way for the dreamer."

我九歲的時候住在北卡羅來納州的一個小鎮(zhèn)上,一次在一本兒童雜志的封底發(fā)現(xiàn)了一則招聘賀卡推銷員的廣告。我對自己說,我能干這事。我懇求媽媽允許我去叫人送來全套貨物。
兩個星期后,貨送來了,我一把撕下賀卡上棕色的包裝紙,沖出了家門,三個小時后,我的卡片已一張不剩,我裝著滿滿一口袋錢回到了家,大叫:"媽媽,所有的人都迫不及待地想買我的卡片!"一個推銷員誕生了。
12歲的時候,父親帶我去見齊格·齊格勒先生,我還記得當時坐在昏暗的禮堂里聽著齊格勒先生的演說,他把每個人都說得熱情高漲、躍躍欲試,離開的時候我覺得自己可以做任何事情。我們上了車,我轉(zhuǎn)向父親對他說道:"爸爸,我也想讓人們這樣。"爸爸問我的話是什么意思。"我想當一個像齊格勒先生一樣的動機演說者。"我同答道。一個夢想誕生了。
最近,我開始鼓舞他人,努力實現(xiàn)自己的.夢想。在此之前的四年里,我在一個擁有100家公司的財團就職,從一個銷售培訓者做到地區(qū)銷售經(jīng)理,在我事業(yè)達到巔峰時我離開了這家公司。許多人都十分驚訝,在收入達到六位數(shù)時我卻選擇了離開。他們問我為什么要為了夢想而去冒險。
我是在參加了一次地區(qū)銷售會議后,才拿定主意離開自己的安全港灣,去開自己的公司的。在那次會議上,我們公司的副總裁做了一次演說,改變了我的命運。他問我們:"如果一個神仙會滿足你的三個愿望,那么你將會希望得到什么?"他讓我們寫下自己的愿望,然后問我們:"為什么你們會需要神仙呢?"在那一刻,我永遠也忘不了這句話給我的震撼。
我意識到,我有了畢業(yè)證書、成功的銷售經(jīng)驗、做過無數(shù)演講,為一家擁有100個公司的大財團做過銷售培訓和管理工作——所有這一切都使我為這一刻做好了準備。我準備好了去成為一名動機演說者,不需要神仙的幫助。
當我眼淚汪汪地告訴老板我的計劃時,這位我十分尊重的領(lǐng)導,令人難以置信地答道:
"勇往直前吧!你一定能夠成功。"
我決意剛定,就遭受了考驗,我辭職的一個星期后,丈夫也失業(yè)了。我們剛剛買了一座新房子,需要雙方的工資來付清每個月的抵押貸款,但現(xiàn)在我們卻一分收入也沒有了。這時我想同公司去,知道他們?nèi)韵胍,可是我知道一旦回去就再也出不來了,我決定繼續(xù)前進,決不做一個滿口"如果"、只說不做的人。一個動機演說者誕生了。
我緊緊追隨著我的夢想。甚至在最艱苦的時期也不放棄,然后奇跡果真開始出現(xiàn)了。短短的時間內(nèi),我丈夫找到了一份更好的工作,我們沒有拖欠任何一個月的抵押貸款,我也開始有新客戶預約演說。我發(fā)現(xiàn)了夢想不可思議的力量。我熱愛我過去的工作、我的同事和我離開的那家公司,但是,我實現(xiàn)夢想的時機已經(jīng)成熟了。為了慶祝我的成功,我請當?shù)匾晃凰囆g(shù)家將我的新辦公室漆成了一座花園,在一面墻的頂端,她刷上了這樣一句話:"這個世界永遠屬于追夢人。"

He walked into the city engrossed in his own thoughts. The eyes seemed totravel the kingdom of unknown. On his forehead, the curly locks trembled withthe cool breeze striking against his face, and a childlike innocence played on his lips.Though he had nothing, he appeared to be the king of his destiny.
People threw a glance at his face and lo, they were mesmerized! His movementinspired a confidence in them. Children flocked around him arrested in apeculiar charm.
“Who is he?” they thought, “A princely figure! A man indeed, but the master ofhis fate.”
Some elderly people halted him. “Stranger,” they said, “you seem to be new tothis city of ours. Which land are you from, and who are the parents so lucky to have a sonlike you?” And he smiled the loveliest smile they had ever seen and opened his lips tosatisfy their curiosity, “I am not special but one from among you. Think me one of your ownchildren and love me as you love them.”
“But you are very much unlike u stranger. Your exuberant face, your naturalgrace, and your eyes beaming the joy of your soul stand you apart from all of uand you say you are one of u walker of the land of the illumined!”
He laughed a hearty laugh and cast an eye full of compassion upon them andsaid, “Still I repeat what I have said before that I am none else but one of you. Yourecognize me not, for you have narrowed your vision with the burden of self-inflictedlimitations. I am the dreamer in you; the dreamer who lets not the world of difficultiessteal his dreams; who allows not his mind to shrink his dreams to fit them in theconfinement of his lean resources which are lean only when you willingly keep themlean repeating to yourself a thousand time ‘I am made only for what I have, and more Ideserve not.‘ I, instead, announce to myself time and again that my dreams are big and myresources are limitles vast enough to encompass all of them. Thu I wither notlike you in the scorching sun of cruel realities.”
And they heard enraptured as if somebody was playing on the flute asoothing note into their ears. It lasted for the time fairly long, and when theycame out of the trance and looked around, they found there not a single soul butnumerous crimson rose petals flying around as if announcing, “Be a dreamer, foryou are what your dreams are.”
And they said to each-other, “Aye, aye, he was none else but the dreamer in us.”
翻譯
人們瞥了瞥他的臉,瞧,他們被迷住了!他的一舉一動讓他們的自信感油然而生。孩子們像被一種特殊的魔力吸引著,將他團團圍住。
有時你會發(fā)現(xiàn)身邊出現(xiàn)了某個人,你說不出他的樣子、著裝和舉動與其他人有什么區(qū)別,但就是覺得這個人特別與眾不同,似乎散發(fā)著某種隱形的光彩和吸引力。也許這就是所謂的氣質(zhì),所謂的自信,那是一種擁有夢想并為之奮斗的激情和魄力——請記住,不被別人限定,勇于追逐夢想的人才能活出屬于自己的彩色人生。
他朝城里走去,完全沉浸在自己的思考當中。他的眼神看上去就像在一個未知的國度里遨游。額前的幾縷卷發(fā)隨著涼風晃動,輕輕地拍打著他的臉頰,他的雙唇則顯露出孩童般的純真。他雖然身無一物,看上去卻像是一位主宰自己命運的國王。
“他是誰?”人們心想,“多么高貴的人!他雖然只是一個人,卻也是自己命運的主人!
幾個老人叫住了他!澳吧,”他們說,“你似乎剛剛來到我們這座城市。你來自哪里?是哪對父母如此幸運,能擁有像你這樣的兒子?”他笑了——那是他們見過最可愛的笑容,他開口回答,以滿足大家的好奇心:“我并不特殊,我只是你們當中的一員。把我看作成你們自己的.孩子,像愛他們那樣愛我吧!
“但是你跟我們很不一樣,陌生人。你的面龐活力四射,舉止當中自然流露出一種優(yōu)雅,雙眼洋溢著靈魂的喜悅,你站在我們當中鶴立雞群,而你說你是我們的一份子,是光芒大地上的行者!”
他由衷地笑了笑,滿眼同情地看著他們,說:“我仍會重復之前說過的話,我只是你們之中的一員而并非其他人。你們認不出我,是因為自我局限縮窄了你們的視野。我是你們當中的夢想家,一個決不讓困境偷走夢想的人;一個不會為了適應貧乏資源帶來的限制而讓思想縮緊夢想的人——只有在你愿意保持貧瘠,并無數(shù)次對自己重復‘我只為自己所擁有的一切而生,我不應該得到更多‘的時候,你的資源才會變得匱乏。相反的,我一遍又一遍地對自己宣稱——我的夢想很偉大,我有無限的資源,足以支撐所有夢想。因此,我不會像你們那樣,在殘酷現(xiàn)實的灼烤之下逐漸枯萎!
他們欣喜若狂地聽著,仿佛有人用長笛在他們的耳朵里吹奏著一首舒緩的曲子。這曲子繞梁三日,當他們回過神來、四處張望時,他們發(fā)現(xiàn)那個人已經(jīng)消失不見了,只有無數(shù)深紅的玫瑰花瓣四處飄落,仿佛在告訴他們:“做一個夢想家吧,因為你的夢想有多大,你就能走多遠!
他們對彼此說:“是啊是啊,他不是別人,而是我們當中的夢想家!
