　　Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger, "Now you've retired from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next?"

　　阿诺德·施瓦辛格1976年遇到一位新闻记者时还不是那样有名。记者问施瓦辛格:“你现在从健美运动中退出,下步打算做什么?”

　　Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently, "I'm going to be the No. 1 movie star in Hollywood.” The reporter was shocked and amused at Schwarzenegger's plan. At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong American Austrian accent, could ever hope to be Hollywood's No 1 movie star.

　　施瓦辛格非常平静而自信地回答说:“我打算成为好莱坞头号电影明星”记者听到施瓦辛格的打算既震惊又觉得可笑。当时,很难想象这位肌肉结实的健美运动员,既不是职业演员,英语说得又差劲,还带有很重的奥地利口音,怎么可能有希望成为好莱坞头号电影明星呢。

　　So the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned to make his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said, "I'll do it the same way I became the No.1 body builder in the world. What I do is to create a vision of whom I want to be, and then I start living like that person in my mind as if it were already true." Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn't it? But it worked! Schwarzenegger did become the No .1 highest-paid movie star in Hollywood!

　　所以,当记者问施瓦辛格如何打算使梦想成真时。施瓦辛格说:“我会像当初成为世界头号健美运动员样去做。我要做的就是创造一个自己想做的那个人的形象,然后像我心里想的那个人那样开始生活。”听起来是不是很幼稚很简单?但起作用了施瓦辛格真的或了好莱坞收入最高的电影明星。

　　Remember:"If you can see it, you can be it."

　　记住:“你能看到就能做到。”
