My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realised I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is one of my favorite activities. But, to be honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream -- I knew that no one could imagine me in the fashion industry at all! So I decided to look for some fashion-related courses that included writing. This is when I noticed the course “Fashion Media & Promotion.”

 

我的翻译版本：

我一直梦想要么在时装设计界，要么在出版界找一份工作。在我中学毕业的两年前，我参加了一门缝纫和设计课程，并想着能再继续参加一门时装设计的课程。然而，在学习这门课程的过程中，我开始意识到：将来在这个领域，想要和那些富于创新精神的精英们同场竞技，不啻是螳臂当车。于是，我断定这条路万万走不通。在申请大学之前，我和所有人都讲我想学新闻。原因在于，写作曾经是余之所好，现在我仍对它心向往之。但是坦率地说，我当时之所以这样说，是因为我曾以为从事时装设计不过是我一个遥不可及的梦想。我也知道，除我之外，没有人能想象如果我从事时装设计工作会是怎样一幅场景。

It can be seen clearly from the line graph that museums became more people’s cup of tea over two years from 2013 to 2015. To be more specific, both the number of museums and the number of people visiting museums experienced a sharp increase.

从该线状图中我们可以清楚地看出：从2013到2015的两年期间，博物馆成为了更多人的心头所好。更具体地说，博物馆和造访博物馆的人数均呈飙升态势。

As a proverb goes, everything happens for a reason. Among various factors leading to this rise stand out the three following ones. To begin with, people in the modern world have more curiosity than their forefathers and visiting museums, they can have a better understanding of a different environment and a different way of life. To satisfy people’s curiosity, governments have to build more museums. In addition, they provide an equal opportunity for people to receive high-quality education in a fascinating way no matter who and where they are. Last of all, with technology developing at an astounding speed, the riddle of Sphinx is now answered.

常言道，千事可溯源，万物皆有因。在各种导致此种增长的原因中，以下三条尤为明显。首先，当今世界的人们比他们的祖辈好奇心更重。造访博物馆时，他们能对一种不同的环境和一种不同的生活方式有一个更深刻的理解。为了满足人们的好奇心，政府不得不建造了更多的博物馆。此外，无论人们是谁，无论他们身在何处，博物馆给他们提供了一种平等的机会以一种有趣的方式去接受高质量的教育。最后，随着技术以一种惊人的速度发展，斯芬克斯之谜现在可以被人们回答。

Museums are great repositories of mankind’s historical artifacts and achievements in art. From them we can learn a great deal about the people of the past and their link to the people of the present. We can also learn about cultures other than our own. Like a mediator, arrays of museums combine education and entertainment perfectly. In a museum, we may feel painting is silent poetry, and poetry is a speaking picture.

博物馆是人类历史文物及艺术成就的伟大宝库。我们可以从中了解到很多与过去的人们有关的事以及他们与现代人之间的关联。我们也可以从中了解其他不同的文化。各种博物馆像一个调节器，完美将教育和娱乐的作用结合了起来。在博物馆中，我们也许会觉得:画是无言诗，诗是有声画。
