As a kid, did you know what job you wanted to do when you grew up?
小時(shí)候，你知道你長大后想做什么工作嗎？
No, I didn't, and I got sick every time adults asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
不，我不知道，每次大人問我長大后想做什么，我都會(huì)覺得很煩。
It's the same with me.
我也是。
And I'm tired of people asking that question of my 10-year-old daughter.
我厭倦了人們問我的10歲女兒這個(gè)問題。
My daughter's stock answers are: basketball player, pop singer, mechanical engineer.
我女兒的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案是：籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員、流行歌手、機(jī)械工程師。
Adults love that last one, as it's the perfect mix of the sensible and the ambitious.
大人們喜歡最后一個(gè)，因?yàn)樗昝赖亟Y(jié)合了理性和雄心壯志。
When she was much younger, my daughter used to say she wanted to be queen of the clouds, which I loved.
當(dāng)她更小的時(shí)候，我女兒曾說她想成為云中的女王，我很喜歡這個(gè)答案。
That's the kind of goal setting I like to see in children, springing from their boundless imaginations.
這就是我喜歡在孩子們身上看到的那種目標(biāo)設(shè)定，源自他們無限的想象力。
Yes, we grown-ups can be tedious and limiting in our need for reality, and we teach a very gloomy image of adulthood.
是的，我們這些成年人在追求現(xiàn)實(shí)的過程中可能會(huì)變得乏味和局限，而且我們對成年期的描述非常悲觀。

無論我們孩子的未來是什么樣的，都必須在工作的背景下看待它。
How utterly overwhelming and dull!

We can't dismiss the idea that teenagers have to plan to do something after they finish school.

父母有權(quán)利希望他們的孩子不只是每天花10個(gè)小時(shí)玩電腦游戲。
But asking, "What do you want to be?" isn't going to lead a child to a fulfilled life.
但是，問“你想成為什么？”不會(huì)引導(dǎo)孩子過上充實(shí)的生活。
Rather, at least, to false expectations and a high chance of disappointment.
相反，至少會(huì)導(dǎo)致錯(cuò)誤的期望和高度的失望。
Exactly.
