參考譯文

透過(guò)廚房的窗戶，我經(jīng)常能看見(jiàn)一個(gè)小女孩在打籃球。有一天，我問(wèn)她為什么如此刻苦地練習(xí)。她說(shuō)：“我想上大學(xué)。而上大學(xué)的唯一途徑就是獲得獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。我喜歡籃球，想成為大學(xué)最好的球手。我爸爸曾經(jīng)告訴過(guò)我，‘如果夢(mèng)想足夠大，現(xiàn)實(shí)中的困境算不了什么?！?/p>

她從未動(dòng)搖過(guò)。我看著她從初中進(jìn)入高中。在高中畢業(yè)前的一天，我看見(jiàn)她難過(guò)地坐在草地上。我問(wèn)她怎么了。她告訴我說(shuō)，她的教練認(rèn)為她太矮，無(wú)法成為一名優(yōu)秀的籃球選手，她不能再做上大學(xué)的夢(mèng)了。她很痛苦，我也為她難過(guò)。然而她又笑了起來(lái)，她告訴我，父親說(shuō)這位教練錯(cuò)了：他不理解夢(mèng)想的力量。父親對(duì)她說(shuō)：“如果你真的想為好大學(xué)的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金而拼搏，除了你自己，沒(méi)有什么能阻止你實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想。”他再次告訴她：“如果夢(mèng)想足夠大，現(xiàn)實(shí)中的困境算不了什么?！?/p>

第二年，她和球隊(duì)參加了一場(chǎng)大型比賽。并因此而被一所著名大學(xué)校隊(duì)的教練看中，他們?cè)敢馓峁┆?jiǎng)學(xué)金，讓她進(jìn)入該校的女子籃球隊(duì)。她就要進(jìn)入她為之魂?duì)繅?mèng)縈并付出多年努力的大學(xué)讀書(shū)了。

“如果夢(mèng)想足夠大，現(xiàn)實(shí)中的困境算不了什么?！贝_實(shí)如此。
