Hold Your Dream
Susan Boyle,47岁,来自一个苏格兰无名小镇,在参加英国达人之前,她和我们平时生活里邻居家的张姨李婶没什么区别,只是一个普通的大妈,她身材已经臃肿,面容也不美丽,她甚至没有约会过,当她第一次踏上英国达人的舞台上时,她那老土的打扮和略显笨拙的举止使得评委和观众并不对她抱有什么希望,甚至嘲笑她那想要成为职业歌手的梦想。可是当苏珊大妈唱出那首现在为全世界人民所熟知的《I Dreamed a Dream》第一句的时候,整个现场为之震惊,这样天籁般的声音怎么可能从这样一个苍老、臃肿的躯体中发出,所有人都被感动了,苏珊大妈也从此一炮走红,最终达到了也许她自己都没有梦想到过的高度。
我第一次看到苏珊大妈是从CCTV的新闻里,报道的就是这届英国达人的决赛,她所演唱的歌曲同样是这首《I Dreamed a Dream》,当时就把本来漫不经心的我牢牢地钉在了电视前,苏珊的歌声好像有魔力一样,让我不能自拔,短短的几十秒过后,已经切换到下一条新闻了,这时我才回过神来,我才发现,已经泪流满面!之后就是疯狂的上网搜寻视频和资料,了解关于她的一切。而且以后每次听到这首歌,我都会感动的不能自已!
我想对于大妈的喜爱可能就是由于她那始终怀揣梦想不肯放弃的精神。每个人都曾经有着各种各样的梦想,可是随着年龄的不断增长,在生活和外界的压力之下,你会发现,你的梦想好像正在一点一点的离你远去,终于你死心了,放弃了,让你的梦想任意的随风飘走。然后你就会开始变得喜欢嘲笑别人的梦想,你认为那些都是不切实际的bullshit, daydream,“不现实”,这也许是你最常说的话。但是当你每天为生计辗转奔波的时候,你是否会想起:" I have once dreamed a dream". 而这时候你偶然看到了苏珊,你会惊讶的发现,一个47岁的大妈这么多年来始终没有放弃过她年轻时的梦想,而最终她实现了!这时你会发现那个曾经的梦想她一直没有离开,只不过你把她埋在了内心的最深处,不敢去正视。
不要放弃你的梦想,即使由于某些原因无法马上实现她,把她放在你的心里,不时的拾起她、擦亮她,并为了她付出努力和汗水,终有一天你会发现你已经梦想成真!
Hold you dream, and make it come true!

I dreamed a dream
~我做了一个梦~
There was a time when men were kind
曾有一度人们是良善的
When their voices were soft
那时他们的声调温柔
And their words inviting
字语动人
There was a time when love was blind
曾有一度爱情是盲目的
And the world was a song and the song was exciting
世界就像一支动人的旋律
There was a time
那是过往的时光了啊
Then it all went wrong
后来一切都变了
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
我梦见在梦境中过往的时光
When hope was high
抱持著崇高的盼望
And life worth living
生活充满了生命力
I dreamed that love would never die
我梦见爱永不止息
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
我梦见了上帝的宽容
Then I was young and unafraid
那时我年轻无惧
And dreams were made and used and wasted
梦想被打造也被消磨
There was no ransom to be paid
无原由的挥豁殆尽
No song unsung, no wine untasted
未唱的歌,未尝的美酒啊
But the tigers come at night
而老虎(此只危机)总是在夜晚出没
With their voices soft as thunder
它们的低吼犹如暗雷低回
As they tear your hope apart
好像在哀悼你的希望被摧毁
And they turn your dream to shame
并扭曲使你的梦想蒙羞
He slept a summer by my side
他整个夏天在我身旁安睡
He filled my days with endless wonder
他使我的每日充满无比惊奇
He took my childhood in his stride
他关照我的童年进展
But he was gone when autumn came
但当秋天来时他却离开了我
And still I dream he'll come to me
直至如今,我仍梦想著他将要回到我身旁
That we will live the years together
梦想著我们可以一起度过美好时光
But there are dreams that cannot be
但这些梦想不会成真了
And there are storms we cannot weather
我们也经不起这些狂风暴雨
I had a dream my life would be
我的梦想曾经即将实现
So different from this hell I'm living
与我悲惨境遇大异其趣
So different now from what it seemed
相形现在是这麼的不同
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
现在的生活扼杀了我做的梦
