　　Children with Dreams 有梦的孩子

　　All children have dreams, but how many get the chance to turn their dream into the reality? For every child this would be a magical moment in their lives, but for those suffering from a life-threatening illness or a long-term debilitating condition, it can have an even greater impact.

　　所有的孩子都有梦想，但多少人有机会梦想成真呢?对每个孩子来说，梦想的实现将会是他们生命 中最神奇的时刻;但是对那些生命受着疾病威胁或是身体长期处于底弱状的孩子来说，想要实现梦想便是一种很大的压力。

　　Each year the Dreams Come True Charity brings a smile of the faces of hundreds of children and young adults between 2 and 21 years who are suffering from a serious or terminal illness. We aim to bring some happiness into their lives, the benefits of which are many and varied for both the children and their families.

　　每年，梦想成真慈善委员会给上百个2到21岁身患重病的孩子或青少年带来欢乐。目的就是给孩子们带来幸福，无论对孩子还是对他们的家庭来说，这样做都很有好处。

　　Popular requests include experiencing the magic of Disney and swimming with dolphins. But any dream is shaped by a child’s imagination and special needs, leading to seemingly endless range of possible. Some of the more “unusual” dream requests we have recently fulfilled include having cows in the back garden, meeting long-lost relatives in Kenya and Jamaica, naming a police horse, and riding in rally car.

　　孩子们的请求通常会是体验一下迪斯尼的神奇或者和海豚一起游泳。但任何一个梦想都是由孩子们的想像以及特殊要求塑造的。这会带来无尽的可能。最近我们帮助实现了很

　　多“不寻常的”的梦想请求，包括:在后花园里养奶牛，去见长期失散远在肯尼亚或牙买加的亲人，为警察的马取名字以及开赛车。

　　Other dreams are less adventurous but just as special, for example, having a specially adapted bed which can improve quality of life, or a TV or music centre for a bed room where the children spend a lot of their time. We have even had a request for a special children’s tricycle enabling him to keep up with his friends playing outside. But for some children it’s simpler things in life that make their dream come true- a trip to Butlins and the seaside, or even for one little boy, the chance to see bananas growing on a real tree.

　　还有一些梦想就显得不那么“冒险”了，仅仅是特别。比如拥有一张特制的、可调节的床来提高生活质量，或是在卧室配置电视和音乐，让孩子们在里面尽情玩耍。我们还收到过一个孩子的特殊请求他想要一个三轮脚踏车，以便能和他的同伴们在户外玩耍。但是对有些孩子来说，梦想成真是最简单的事情——如去普特林斯或是海边游玩一趟。有一个小男孩的梦想更容易实现他仅仅想要看看香蕉是怎样长在一棵真树上的。

　　There is no limit to a child’s imagination and severe illness should not prevent them from experiencing real quality fun and excitement. No dream is too big or too small for Dreams Come True.

　　孩子们有着无限的想像力，不应该让病痛阻止他们体验真正的快乐和激动。没有任何梦想对于梦想成真慈善委员会来说会太大或者太小。
