黄粱美梦
唐沈既济《枕中记》里说，卢生在邯郸旅店住宿，卢生入睡后做了一场享尽一生荣华富贵的好梦。醒来的时候小米饭还没有熟，因有所悟。后世说的“黄粱梦”或“邯郸梦”，都从此而出。之后一再被人续写改编，唐代有《南柯记》，宋代有《南柯太守》，元朝马致远作《邯郸道省悟黄粱梦》，明朝汤显祖改编《邯郸记》，清代蒲松龄作《续黄粱》。
现比喻想要实现的好事落得一场空。
英语中关于梦的短语如下：
1、A Dream come true.梦想成真。例句：My new job is a dream come true. It's everything I h***e been looking for! 翻译：我找到的这份新工作简直是美梦成真。这一切都是我一直以来所期望的！
2、To be living in a dream world. 痴人说梦。例句：you're living in a dream world if you think that you can quit your job and live without an income.翻译：如果你觉得自己可以“裸辞”且在没有收入的情况下继续生活，那你简直是在白日做梦。
3、never in one's wildest dreams.想不到的是。例句：Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could learning swimming at this?age.翻译：我以前做梦都想不到，自己能在这样的年纪学习游泳。

Let Your Mind Wonder
Until recently daydreaming was generally considered either a waste of time or a symptom of neurotic
tendencies, and habitual daydreaming was regarded as evidence of maladjustment or an escape from
life’s realities and responsibilities. It was believed that habitual daydreaming would eventually
distance people from society and reduce their effectiveness in coping with real problems. At its
best, daydreaming was considered a compensatory substitute for the real things in life.
As with anything carried to excess, daydreaming can be harmful. There are always those who would
substitute fantasy lives for the rewards of real activity. But such extremes are relatively rare,
and there is a growing body of evidence to support the fact that most people suffer from a lack of
daydreaming rather than an excess of it. We are now beginning to learn how valuable it really is
and that when individuals are completely prevented from daydreaming, their emotional balance can be
disturbed. Not only are they less able to deal with the pressures of day-to-day existence, but also
their self-control and self-direction become endangered.
Recent research indicates that daydreaming is part of daily life and that a certain amount each day
is essential for maintaining equilibrium. Daydreaming, science has discovered, is an effective
relaxation technique. But its beneficial effects go beyond this. Experiments show that daydreaming
significantly contributes to intellectual growth, powers of concentration, and the ability to
interact and communicate with others.
直到最近白日做梦通常被认为不是浪费时间就是要患***的征兆。习惯性白日做梦被看做精神失调的证据或是对
现实生活和责任的逃避。人们相信，习惯性白日做梦会使人远离社会，降低其处理现实问题的效率。最好的情况来
讲，白日做梦被认为是代替生活现实的补偿品。
任何事情做得过分都可能有害，白日做梦也是一样。总有那么一些人，他们用想入非非的生活来代替实际活动得到
的好处。但是这一类极端的情况极为罕见，愈来愈多的资料都能证明这样一种看法：大多数人的白日梦做的太少
了，而不是太多了。现在我们才开始了解到它确实是多么有价值。当一个人被禁止做白日梦时，他们的感情平衡就
可以被搅乱。不仅使他们更难以对付日常的生活压力，而且他们的自我控制和自我定向变得岌岌可危。最近的研究
表明，白日做梦是日常生活的一部分，每天做一定数量的白日梦多保持平衡是必不可少的。科学已经发现白日梦是
一种有效的消遣技巧。但它的有利影响不只这一点，实验表明，白日梦特别有助于智力的发展，有助于全神贯注的
能力和与人交往、交流的能力。
10.Pens
***all as it is, the pen has changed the course of history, shaped the destiny of nations,
facilitated the commerce of peoples, imprisoned the elusive thoughts of man, recorded events,
carried news, and done more work for mankind than all other tools or weapons.
Progress without it would h***e been almost impossible. The invention of the wheel and screw, the
introduction of steam-power, the use of electricity, all these h***e changed the lives of millions;
but the pen has done more. It has removed mountains. It has prepared the way for all advancement.
Whatever plans h***e been drawn up, whatever laws formulated, h***e come from the pen.
笔
笔虽很小，却已经改变了历史的进程，决定了民族的兴衰，推进了民间的贸易, 钳制了难以捉摸的不良思想，记录
***，传播消息，为人类做了比任何其他工具或武器更多的工作。
没有它，进步几乎是不可能的。车轮和螺丝的发明，蒸汽机的问世，电力的使用，所有这些都曾改变了亿万人的生
活；然而，笔却做得更多。他创造了奇迹。他为所有的前进铺平了道路。任何***的拟订，任何法律的制定，无一
不出自于笔。
