As a kid, did you know what job you wanted to do when you grew up?
小時候，你知道你長大后想做什么工作嗎？
No, I didn't, and I got sick every time adults asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
不，我不知道，每次大人問我長大后想做什么，我都會覺得很煩。

And I'm tired of people asking that question of my 10-year-old daughter.
我厭倦了人們問我的10歲女兒這個問題。
My daughter's stock answers are: basketball player, pop singer, mechanical engineer.

Adults love that last one, as it's the perfect mix of the sensible and the ambitious.
大人們喜歡最后一個，因為它完美地結(jié)合了理性和雄心壯志。
When she was much younger, my daughter used to say she wanted to be queen of the clouds, which I loved.
當(dāng)她更小的時候，我女兒曾說她想成為云中的女王，我很喜歡這個答案。
That's the kind of goal setting I like to see in children, springing from their boundless imaginations.
這就是我喜歡在孩子們身上看到的那種目標(biāo)設(shè)定，源自他們無限的想象力。
Yes, we grown-ups can be tedious and limiting in our need for reality, and we teach a very gloomy image of adulthood.
是的，我們這些成年人在追求現(xiàn)實的過程中可能會變得乏味和局限，而且我們對成年期的描述非常悲觀。

無論我們孩子的未來是什么樣的，都必須在工作的背景下看待它。
How utterly overwhelming and dull!

And parents are entitled to hope it's more than simply spending 10 hours a day playing computer games.

But asking, "What do you want to be?" isn't going to lead a child to a fulfilled life.
但是，問“你想成為什么？”不會引導(dǎo)孩子過上充實的生活。
Rather, at least, to false expectations and a high chance of disappointment.

Exactly.

We should be helping our kids understand who they are, even if that means letting go of who we think they should be.
