Then again, who's to say that certain types of irrational thinking aren't exactly what the world needs?
話說回來，誰能說我們這個世界不正是需要某些類型的非理性思維嗎？
Maybe you've had grand plans before, but stopped yourself, thinking, "That's impossible," or "That costs too much," or "That won't benefit me."
也許你以前有過宏大的計劃，但卻半途而廢，心想：這個不可能，或代價太高，或這對我不利。
For better or worse, we kids aren't hampered as much when it comes to thinking about reasons why not to do things.
不管是好是壞，我們小孩子 在思考不做某事的理由時，不太受這些考量的影響。
Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking, like my wish that no one went hungry, or that everything were free, a kind of utopia.
小孩可能會有滿腦子的奇思妙想和積極的想法，例如我希望沒有人挨餓，或者所有東西都是免費的，有點像烏托邦的理念。
How many of you still dream like that, and believe in the possibilities?
你們當中有多少人還會有這樣的夢想，并相信其可能性？
Sometimes a knowledge of history and the past failures of Utopian ideals can be a burden,
有時候對歷史及對烏托邦的了解，可能是一種負擔，
because you know that if everything were free, then the food stocks would become depleted and scarce and lead to chaos.
因為你知道假如所有東西都是免費的，食物儲備會被清空，而缺失將會導致混亂。
On the other hand, we kids still dream about perfection.
另一方面，我們小孩還對完美抱有希望。
And that's a good thing, because in order to make anything a reality, you have to dream about it first.
這是件好事，因為要將任何事情變為現實，你首先得心懷夢想。
In many ways, our audacity to imagine helps push the boundaries of possibility. For instance, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, my home state-- yoohoo, Washington!
在很多方面，我們的大膽想象拓寬了可能性的疆界。例如，華盛頓州塔可馬市的玻璃博物館，我的家鄉華盛頓州——你好！
has a program called Kids Design Glass, and kids draw their own ideas for glass art.
這個博物館里有一個項目叫“兒童玻璃設計”，小孩們自由創作自己的玻璃作品。
The resident artist said they got some of their best ideas from the program,
后來，駐館藝術家說，他們所有的一些極佳靈感就來自這個項目，
because kids don't think about the limitations of how hard it can be to blow glass into certain shapes, they just think of good ideas.
因為小孩不去理會，吹出不同形狀玻璃的難度限制，他們只是構思好的點子。
Now, when you think of glass, you might think of colorful Chihuly designs, or maybe Italian vases,
當說到玻璃的時候，你們可能想到的是奇胡利(Chihuly)色彩豐富的玻璃設計，或意大利花瓶，
but kids challenge glass artists to go beyond that, into the realm of brokenhearted snakes and bacon boys, who you can see has meat vision.
但小孩子敢于挑戰玻璃藝術家，并超越他們，進入心碎蛇和火腿男孩的領地——看到了嗎，火腿男孩有“肉視力”哦。
