Going on six,and will
The burden of the will
By henry h.walker
即将6岁，你想要...
意愿之承受
I feel the heavy weight,
The burden he carries,
He sees how the world needs to be,
For he wants it to be that way,
And only if it’s the way he wants is the world right,
我感到了沉重的负担，
他所背负的沉重的负担，
他看到了世界的需求，
那正是他想要的方式，
只有当那是他想要的方式的时候，
这个世界才是对的，
The toys must be just so,
And the ‘just so ‘changes every moment,
As the creator in him manifests,
His parents must be there for him
Just the way he feels they should be,
For what he wants is how it should be,
玩具肯定是这样的，
但是，“这样的”却一直都在变，
正如造物者想要的，
想要他的父母陪在他身边，
就像他觉得世界应当如此，
应当像他希望的那样，
A video game:joy when it goes well,
A call for a science museum trip,
And today he loses the discussion,
Though he revisits his desire time after time for hours,
Anger at his father for muti-tasking,
Talking to us while playing with him,
A physical expression of his anger close to his surface,
当通关顺利时，令人开心的电子游戏，
去科技博物馆旅行的电话邀请，
今天他失败的讨论，
尽管他一次次满足自己的期待，
在他父亲忙碌的时候，感到生气，
在他玩耍的时候，跟我们讨论，
他愤怒时，直接外在体现出来，
It is hard to understand the world as another sees it,
To realize the world can be seen,
As differently shaped from how you see it ,
And then to walk forward,
In a constant balancing act,
Between assertiveness and responsiveness,
对你来说，很难理解别人所看到的世界，
为了认识，他人不同于你看待这个世界的方式，
你需要继续向前，
以一个不断平衡的方式，
在自信和不断的反思中，
The will seeks a way to use us as tool,
The challenge is to find a way that is the best compromise for all to gain the most and lose the least,for will to be the tool and not the master.
意愿让我们成为工具，
我们面临的挑战是，
找到一种可以收获最多，失去最少的方式，
以此让意愿成为工具，
而不是主人。
读后感：
In my opinion, the author actually hopes that the child can one day learn to balance rationality and sensibility, reality and ideals.In this respect, many people may become too realistic, and many people may be too ideal, so they become autistic, evasive, or negative, paralyzed.
The compromise between the two is a problem that everyone needs to face. It needs to be considered, it needs to strive for, and it needs to constantly make their mind more mature and stronger.
在我看来，作者其实希望孩子可以有一天学会平衡理性和感性，现实和理想。
而这一方面，很多人可能变得过于现实，很多人可能过于理想，于是，变得自闭，逃避，或者消极，麻痹。
两者之间的妥协，是每个人都需要面临的问题，需要思考，需要争取，需要不断让自己的心智更加成熟，变得强大。
