翻譯段落：
　　在盼中，日子真的流得飛快，轉眼上了小學，繼而初中，然后高中，最后大學；盼的欲望更加強烈，盼的內容也漸漸豐富了；盼有好成績畢業，盼有一份好工作，盼事業有成，盼掙錢替父母分憂，盼有一個愛人……不知不覺，天天踩著盼的石階而上，自己竟然成了一個大男人，一個掙錢養家糊口的忙碌人了。生活開始變得復雜。然而，無論自己是否變得庸俗，變的偉大，盼頭依然天天有：盼信件，盼稿件被采用，盼發獎金，盼其事有了滿意結果，盼一次聚會，一次旅行……人就在盼中找到了依托。
　　參考譯文：
　　Days spent in expectation come and go really very fast. Very soon I finished primary school, went to junior and senior middle school, and finally to college; with ever greater desire for more varied things: for graduation with honor, for an ideal job, for a successful career, for more earnings to share my parents’ burden, for a satisfactory wife…. Climbing the upward steps of hope I had become a fully grown man before I was aware of it, a busy breadwinner with a family on my hands.
　　Life began to show its various facets. Whether I have turned more vulgar or great, I have always something to look forward to. It may be arrival of a letter, publication of an article, the bonus-distributing day, a gratifying result of something, a get-together of a pleasure trip…Such expectations serve as a prop to a person’s faith in life.
　　翻譯點評：
　　豐富：這里的豐富不宜譯為rich，因為此處表達的是“多種多樣、多姿多彩”的意思，所以用varied比較好。
　　養家糊口：固定詞組，breadwinner
　　依托：prop有“支柱。支撐物”的意思；想不到這個詞，可以用paraphrase的方法，用一個句子表達出來，例如sth.one’s life relies on.
