在学校里,学生们受到的教育是:只要他们执着于实现他们的梦想,他们可以做任何他们想做的事情,成为任何他们想做的人。有些公众人物,比如意大利古典音乐演唱家安德烈?波伽利就放弃了人们心目中的好职业,选择了成名之路。要知道,专辑全球销量七千万的波伽利没做歌手以前是律师。
[注释: under one’s belt 字面意思是“在腰带下”,比喻已经掌握了、经历过,或者在以往的经历中已获得了某事物。 I’m not going to play the game until I can get a couple of days of practice under my belt. 打比赛之前我需要训练几天。]
The media and reality TV talent shows have also played their part in encouraging young people to follow their bliss.
媒体及电视真人秀在鼓励年轻人追求他们的幸福方面也发挥了自身作用。
In 2006, 18-year-old Ray Quinn, barely out of school, finished second in the British TV talent show The X Factor. He later secured a record deal with Sony.
2006年,还没中学毕业的18岁男孩雷?奎恩,在英国真人秀《英国偶像》节目中获亚军,他后来签约索尼,制作了一张唱片。
Each year since then, hundreds of thousands of people have applied to the show, hoping, and expecting, that the chance to realize their ambitions will soon come.
自此,每年有数十万人报名参加该节目,期待有机会实现他们的梦想。
Even if they don’t have a particular dream in mind, many young people are encouraged to take a year or two to find where their interests lie, instead of jumping into a job which they may later resent.
对那些即便是心中没有什么特别梦想的年轻人,人们也鼓励他们花一两年的时间去发现他们的兴趣所在,而不是一头扎进他们日后会憎恶的工作中。
George Evans, 24, is determined to find a job which interests him.
乔治?埃文斯,24岁,决定找到自己感兴趣的工作。
“I think most of us recognize that it is happiness and not money that is the ultimate goal,” said the Cambridge University graduate. “Unless you are passionate about your career, you won’t truly succeed.”
这位剑桥大学的毕业生说,“我想我们大多数人认定是幸福,而不是金钱,作为我们的最终目标。除非你对你的职业有热忱,否则不会真正的成功。”
