專八題目：
On Illusion
專八范文：
Some people are committed to their dreams and work hard to achieve their goals． What is guiding them is akind of illusion．Some people think that illusion is good for success while others argue that it is not sogood because it may get people unrealistic． As far as I am concerned， illusion is necessary in our life only if it is encouraging and realistic．
許多人追尋夢想，并努力去實現夢想。指導他們的是一種幻想。許多人認為幻想對成功有益，還有一些人認為這并不好，因為這并不切合實際。我認為幻想是必須的，只要它能夠鼓勵你，并且不是虛幻的。
There are several reasons．First of all， there is power in illusion． The illusion can lead people to thepath they want to go on and it gives us passion． We need to live each moment wholeheartedly， with all our senses so that we can find pleasure in the fragrance of backyard garden， the crayoned picture of a six－year－old， and the enchanting beauty of a rainbow． The illusion can be enthusiastic love of life that puts sparkle in our eyes， a lilt in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls．
有以下幾個原因。第一，幻想能給予人們力量。幻想能夠指導人們想去的方向，并給予他們激情。我們應該活得高興，這樣我們才能夠發現花園中果樹的清香。六歲孩子畫的蠟筆畫，以及彩虹的美麗。幻想能夠激起人們對生命的熱情，靈魂深處的悸動。
Secondly， we are born with wide－eyed， enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle． It is this childlike wonder and illusion that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air， no matter how old they are． For example， the famous cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach． As the music flowed through his fingers， his stooped shouldrs would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes． Music， for him， was an elixir that made life a never－ending adventure． As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote， “Years wrinkle the skin， but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul．”
第二，我們生活在一個多彩的世界中，有誰沒有見過嬰兒看到鑰匙碰撞聲所發出的歡笑，或是甲蟲的小跑。無論他的年齡多大，是童年和幻想給予了他年輕的神態。例如著名的大提琴手帕布羅·卡薩爾斯，他每天的第一件事就是彈奏巴赫的樂曲。當音樂掠過他的手指時，他彎曲的肩膀將會挺直，歡笑將再一次展現在他的眼睛里。音樂對于他來說是他的長生不老藥，他的生命將永不停息。詩人塞繆爾·厄爾曼曾經說道：歲月使人變老，但是失去激情將使靈魂墮落。
Lastly， people with illusions also love what they do， regardless of money or power or title． If we cannot do what we love as a full－time career， we can as do a part－time vocation， like the head of state who paints， the nun who runs marathons and the executive who handcrafts furniture． We cannot afford to waste tears and energy and time on “might－have－beens”． We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what－can－be”．
最后，不論地位、金錢、權利，擁有幻想的人喜歡做自己喜歡的事物，如果我們不喜歡自己的職業，我們也可以做一些喜歡的副業，總統也可以畫畫，和尚跑馬拉松，行政人員做手工家具等。我們不能夠將淚水、力量和時間浪費在“可能”的事情上。我們應該把淚水換成汗水，追尋夢想。
To sum up， God gives each bird its food， but he does not throw it into its nest． Wherever you want to go， just cherish your precious illusion and let your dream be realized．
