As a child, I used to wake up wondering if I was going to Disneyland. Why do people love Disneyland so much? The answer is simple:Disneyland is a story world.

The Disneyland experience begins with a map. On paper, there are eight “l(fā)ands” inside the park. Within each of these eight lands,there are many1)individualstory worlds.

You might see Snow White, Cinderella, Winnie the Pooh, or the2)castof Toy Story3)roaming the park, though not all in the same place. All of this has a clear purpose: to4)sustainthe5)illusionof the eight magical lands.

Disneyland isn’t just made of story worlds,it’s also a story world itself. And at the center of it,it’s you. In the end, the story of Disneyland is the story of your visit. Your experience6)de fi nes the day.

As a new dad, I can’t wait to experience Disneyland through the eyes of my daughter! One day, maybe she’ll also be the one having dreams of Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Though, she’ll have to wake up and go to school just like any other day. But once in a while, those dreams will come true. That’s what makes Disneyland the happiest story world on earth.

參考譯文

小的時(shí)候，我常常一覺醒來就在想自己當(dāng)天是不是會(huì)去迪士尼樂園。為什么人們會(huì)這么喜歡迪士尼樂園呢？答案很簡(jiǎn)單：迪士尼樂園就是一個(gè)童話國(guó)度。

這場(chǎng)迪士尼奇幻之旅始于一紙地圖。從地圖上看，你可以發(fā)現(xiàn)樂園由八塊“大陸”組成。每塊大陸上都有多個(gè)各具特色的童話國(guó)度。

你可以偶遇白雪公主、灰姑娘、維尼熊，還有《玩具總動(dòng)員》里的卡通人物，盡管他們分散在各處。這一切安排都只有一個(gè)明確的目的：讓這八塊充滿魔法的土地都能為你帶來無(wú)盡的幻想。

迪士尼樂園不僅僅是由童話國(guó)度組成，它的存在本身就是一個(gè)童話了。而在其中暢游的你就是這個(gè)童話的中心人物。到最后，你的出現(xiàn)豐富了這個(gè)童話。你的經(jīng)歷賦予了這一天特殊的意義。

初為人父，我已經(jīng)迫不及待地想帶上女兒來一場(chǎng)迪士尼的狂歡了！有一天，或許她也會(huì)做著有米奇老鼠和米妮老鼠的美夢(mèng)。盡管她還是必須像往常一樣起床上學(xué)，但夢(mèng)想還是會(huì)時(shí)不時(shí)地變成現(xiàn)實(shí)。這也使得迪士尼樂園成為了世界上最快樂的童話國(guó)度。
