空想城堡

字幕原文

A young man loved to lie back and dream about the future. 有个年轻人总喜欢躺在那儿畅想未来。

He would picture the company he'd run one day, 他会想象自己将来开公司的样子，

the house he'd own, 想象自己会拥有的大房子，

the speech he'd give when everyone praised his brilliant work. 还有当大家都在夸赞他的出色成就时，自己要发表的那番演讲。

He could spend a whole afternoon like that, glowing with plans. 他能就这么待上一整个下午，满脑子宏图大计，整个人兴奋得神采奕奕。

The trouble was, when the afternoon ended, nothing had actually happened. 可问题是，一下午过去了，实际上什么都没发生。

The company was never started, the skill never practiced, 公司压根没开始办，本领也从来没去练，

the first small step never taken. 连最起码的第一步都没迈出去过。

Meanwhile a friend of his — far less of a dreamer — 而与此同时，他的一个朋友——远没有他这么爱做梦——

quietly learned one real thing at a time, 却在默默地、一件一件地去学真本事，

and slowly built the very life the young man kept only imagining. 慢慢过上了那个年轻人一直在脑海里幻想的生活。

Dreaming is wonderful; it shows you where you want to go. 有梦想挺好的，它能让你看清自己想去的方向。

But a castle in your head stays in your head. 但脑子里的城堡，永远只能停留在脑子里。

Dreams turn into something real only once you're willing to put your hands to work. 只有当你真正愿意动手去干时，梦想才会变成现实。
