We were just about getting ready to warm up for the practice game over the weekend when I had an interesting conversation with one of the team mates I actually didn't know quite well.
周末的時候,當我們正要為即將到來的游戲熱身,團隊成員中有一個我其實不太了解的成員和我進行了一場有趣的對話。
"So what do you do?" he asked. "Well, we work for ourselves, we run a software company", I replied. "Oh really! that's awesome! I work for xyz company, but you know I always wanted to get into animation design and work for myself. It was my dream. I got stuck in the wrong industry."
“你是做什么工作的?”他問道。“嗯,我們為自己打工,我們開了一個軟件公司”我回答。“真的?那真是太棒了!我為XX公司工作,但你知道我一直想做動畫設計,想做自由職業。那是我的夢想。我現在被困在一個錯誤的行業里。”
"You ain't dead yet, are you?" I thought trying hard not say that aloud. He continued "You know, I've been wanting to do this for 10 years now, but once you have a family, it's very tough to do anything else."
“你不還沒死呢嗎……” 我掙扎著沒把這句吼出來。他繼續說:“你知道嗎?我想做這行都有十年了,但是一旦你有了家庭,那想要再做點兒別的事就難了。”
