Has this ever happened to you？ You hear your name and you suddenly go back to reality1. The teacher is looking at you. She must have been the one who called your name. You want to know what she wants.

你有過這樣的經(jīng)歷嗎？當(dāng)你聽到有人喊你的名字時(shí)，你會(huì)突然回到現(xiàn)實(shí)。此時(shí)老師正在看著你。她一定就是叫你名字的那個(gè)人，你想知道她叫你干什么。

Then you see whats going on. Youre in class. She is expecting2 an answer from you. You have no idea what she just asked you. Why？ You were daydreaming， of course！

然后你就會(huì)突然發(fā)現(xiàn)，你正在上課。老師正等著你回答，而你卻根本不知道她剛剛的提問是什么。這是為什么呢？當(dāng)然是因?yàn)槟銊倓傉谧霭兹諌簦?/p>

All of us daydream from time to time. Unlike a dream you have while youre sleeping， a daydream comes up when youre not. Like a common dream， your mind3 might take you to a place far， far away from where you are.

我們每個(gè)人都會(huì)時(shí)不時(shí)地做白日夢。與睡覺時(shí)做的夢不同，白日夢發(fā)生在你醒著的時(shí)候，就像一個(gè)普通的夢，你的思緒可能會(huì)帶你去一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)離此時(shí)所在的地方。

During a daydream， your mind is in other places. Youre physically4 in school or at home or wherever you are. But your mind is far away from whatever is going on right before you. Reality becomes not clear， while a fantasy5 is taking place in your mind at the time.

當(dāng)你在做白日夢時(shí)，你的注意力會(huì)放到別處去。你的身體可能在學(xué)校、家里或其他任何地方，但是你的思緒卻離你目之所及的一切都很遠(yuǎn)。現(xiàn)實(shí)開始變得模糊，同時(shí)卻有一個(gè)幻想出現(xiàn)在你腦海中。

Daydreams often revolve around6 pleasant or happy thoughts. You might daydream about your hopes and dreams. For example， you might daydream about doing well in your next exams. Or maybe your daydream will be about that special someone asking you to go to the next school dance.

白日夢常常圍繞著愉快或快樂的想法而產(chǎn)生，你可能會(huì)幻想你的希望和夢想。例如，你可能會(huì)幻想在接下來的考試中發(fā)揮出色。或者你的白日夢是關(guān)于傾慕對象邀請你參加接下來的學(xué)校舞會(huì)。

Sometimes daydreams are frowned upon7. Like that earlier scenario8 in which you were daydreaming in class and had no idea what the teacher asked you. That was not good. During school is not the time to daydream！

但有時(shí)白日夢又好像一位不速之客。就像之前的情景，你在課堂上做白日夢時(shí)被叫醒，卻對老師提的問題摸不著腦袋，這可不好。在學(xué)校可不適合白日做夢！

Bosses9 also often frown upon daydreaming. When theres work to be done， your boss wants you to work， not daydream. Of course， some jobs need daydreams. For example， daydreaming can be helpful to a writer or a scientist. Its also helpful for someone who creates new Wonders of the Day！

老板們也很不贊成白日做夢。當(dāng)有工作要做時(shí)，你的老板希望你腳踏實(shí)地地工作，而不是做白日夢。當(dāng)然，有些工作卻需要你做做白日夢。例如，白日夢對于作家或科學(xué)家來說是有益的，它也有助于那些能夠創(chuàng)造新奇跡的人！

Daydreaming can also help you get into a better state of mind. Focusing10 on your dreams can help motivate11 you. Daydreams can also give you inspiration12 to do things that you might be afraid to try！

白日夢也能幫助你保持積極的心態(tài)。全身心地專注于你的夢想有助于激勵(lì)你前進(jìn)。白日夢也能鼓舞你，讓你去做一些你可能不敢去嘗試的事情！
