There was a young man who loved to dream.
有个年轻人非常喜欢做梦。
Every day, he thought about building a big castle.
他每天想着自己要建一座大城堡。
He imagined the castle would have tall towers and gardens.
他想要城堡里有高楼,有花园。
He spent all his money on drawing plans and buying materials.
他把所有的钱都花在了画图纸和买材料上。
But he never thought about how to actually build it.
可是,他没有考虑过如何建起来。
He kept drawing plans, but never started the construction.
他只是不断地画图,但始终没有开始建造。
His friends told him, "You should start taking action."
朋友们告诉他:“你应该开始行动了。”
But he always said, "I will start once I figure out all the details."
但他总是说:“等我想好所有细节,再开始。”
So, he kept drawing, but the castle was never built.
于是,他一直画图,城堡却始终没有建成。
Year after year, time passed quickly.
年复一年,时间过得很快。
Others started taking action and working on their dreams.
其他人都开始实际行动,做起了自己的事情。
But he just kept dreaming and doing nothing.
而他仍然只是做梦,什么也没做。
His dream stayed only on paper.

Eventually, he realized that dreaming was not enough; action was the key.
最后,他意识到,光有梦想不够,行动才是关键。
He understood that empty dreams would never build a castle.
他明白了,空想不能建成城堡。
Without action, nothing would be achieved.
如果不实际去做,什么都得不到。
He finally started working on things he could actually do.
他开始动手,去做自己真正能做到的事。
Although he never built the big castle, he gained a lot of experience.
虽然没能建成大城堡,但他收获了很多经验。
To achieve something, one must be practical, not just dream.
做事需要脚踏实地,不能只空想着。
