參考譯文

透過廚房的窗戶，我經(jīng)常能看見一個小女孩在打籃球。有一天，我問她為什么如此刻苦地練習。她說：“我想上大學。而上大學的唯一途徑就是獲得獎學金。我喜歡籃球，想成為大學最好的球手。我爸爸曾經(jīng)告訴過我，‘如果夢想足夠大，現(xiàn)實中的困境算不了什么?！?/p>

她從未動搖過。我看著她從初中進入高中。在高中畢業(yè)前的一天，我看見她難過地坐在草地上。我問她怎么了。她告訴我說，她的教練認為她太矮，無法成為一名優(yōu)秀的籃球選手，她不能再做上大學的夢了。她很痛苦，我也為她難過。然而她又笑了起來，她告訴我，父親說這位教練錯了：他不理解夢想的力量。父親對她說：“如果你真的想為好大學的獎學金而拼搏，除了你自己，沒有什么能阻止你實現(xiàn)夢想?！彼俅胃嬖V她：“如果夢想足夠大，現(xiàn)實中的困境算不了什么?！?/p>

第二年，她和球隊參加了一場大型比賽。并因此而被一所著名大學校隊的教練看中，他們愿意提供獎學金，讓她進入該校的女子籃球隊。她就要進入她為之魂牽夢縈并付出多年努力的大學讀書了。

“如果夢想足夠大，現(xiàn)實中的困境算不了什么。”確實如此。
