歌词
What do you desire?
你渴望什么？
What makes you itch?
什么可以触动你心弦？
What sort of a situation would you like?
你想要什么样的生活？
Let's suppose,I do this often in vocational guidance of students
我当毕业导师的时候
They come to me and say
经常有学生跑过来问我
Well, "we’re getting out of college
我即将大学毕业
And we have the faintest idea what we want to do"
但是我对自己要做什么非常迷茫
So I always ask the question:
我总是问他们：
"What would you like to do if money were no object?
如果钱不是问题，你会想做什么？
How would you really enjoy spending your life?"
你想如何度过你的一生？
Well,it's so amazing as the result of our kind of educational system
在当今的教育体系下大部分学生的回答相当令人惊讶
Crowds of students say well we'd like to be painters
很多学生表示我想成为画家
We'd like to be poets
我想成为诗人
We'd like to be writers
我想成为作家
But as everybody knows you can't earn any money that way!
但是众所周知你并不能借此赚很多钱
Or another person says well
还有一个学生说
I'd like to live an out-of-doors life and ride horses“
我想在野外过策马扬鞭的生活”
I say you want to teach in a riding school?——
那么你会打算去骑术学校教书吗？
Ur..Let's go through with it
呃，让我们把这个问题深究到底
What do you want to do?
你想要做什么？
When we finally got down to something
当我的学生跟我说他想做什么
Which the individual says he really wants to do
而且是他心之所向的事情时
I will say to him 'You do that!
我会跟他说放手去做吧！
And forget the money!
'抛开钱那回事儿！
Because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing
因为当你把赚钱视为最重要的事时
You will spend your life completely wasting your time!
那你就是在穷极一生浪费你的时间
You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living
你会为了生活做你不喜欢做的事
That is to go on doing things you don't like doing!
然后你就一直做着自己不喜欢的事
Which is stupid!
这很傻
Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing
与其度日如年，牢骚满腹
Than a long life spent in a miserable way
不如从吾所好，不负寸阴
And after all,if you do really like what you are doing
毕竟如果你所做的事情合你的胃口
It doesn't really matter what it is
那么做什么就没有讲究了
You can 't eventually turn it-you could eventually become a master of it.
你终究都会成为这一行的精英
The only way to become a master of something is to be really "with it".
而成为精英的唯一途径就是真正的热爱它
And then you will be able to get a good fee for whatever it is
然后你当然就会获得相应的报酬
So you don't worry too much
所以你也不必担心
That’s everybody is, somebody is interested in everything
有些人看起来似乎对一切都满怀热情
Anything you can be interested in you will find out very soon
但是过不了多久你也会找到自己所热爱的东西
But it's absolutely stupid to spend your time doing things you don't like
但是把时间花在你不喜欢的事上
In order to go on spending things you don't like,doing things you don't like
一直做着自己不喜欢的事
And to teach our children to follow in the same track
而且教导孩子重蹈覆辙，这真的很傻
Here what we are doing
我们正在做的就是
Is we are bringing up children and educating them
抚养孩子然后教导他们
To live the same sort of lives we are living
遵照我们的生活方式去生活
And so therefore it's so important to consider this question:
因此这个问题非常值得我们思考：
What do I desire?
我渴望什么？
