精讲参考范文
Well, to be honest, one ambition I’ve had for a very long time is to become a semi-professional skateboarder. I’ve had this dream since I was a kid, when I first played Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. That’s how I fell in love with skateboarding. 说实话，我有了很久的一个志向，就是成为一名半职业滑板手。这个梦想从我小时候就开始了，当时我第一次玩 《Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater》 这个游戏，也就是从那时起，我爱上了滑板。
After that, I bought a skateboard and started practicing. There was one period of my life when I seriously considered becoming a professional skateboarder. So I started watching Tony Hawk’s skateboarding videos. Before I knew it, I had fallen down a rabbit hole, researching and learning everything about him. 后来，我买了一块滑板，开始练习。有一段时间，我甚至认真考虑过成为一名职业滑板手。所以我开始看 Tony Hawk 的滑板视频。不知不觉中，我就一头扎进去了，开始研究并了解关于他的一切。
I didn’t just watch his videos. I also practiced on a daily basis, sometimes even too hard. One time, I hurt my back, and it took me half a year to recover. 我不只是看他的视频。我也会每天练习，有时候甚至练得太猛。有一次，我伤到了背，结果花了半年时间才恢复。
As for when I might achieve this goal, I think it’s probably a little far-fetched, because I’m in my 30s now, and I’m getting a little old to pursue skateboarding seriously. 至于我什么时候能实现这个目标，我觉得它现在可能有点不太现实。因为我已经三十多岁了，要认真把滑板作为一个目标去追，确实有点晚了。
But this ambition is still on my bucket list, because it is one of my dreams, and I still want to make it happen. I know it’s hard to achieve, but I still don’t want to give up on it. 但这个志向依然在我的人生愿望清单里，因为它一直是我的梦想之一，我还是想努力让它实现。我知道这很难做到，但我仍然不想放弃它。
