Being Master of Your Own Fate 做自己命运的主人①
As is vividly depicted in the picture, a young girl is telling her mother, “Good news, I was accepted to the college of your choice. ”
正如图片中生动描绘的那样，一个女孩正在告诉她的妈妈：“好消息，我被你选择的大学录取了。”
②But ironically，the three words “ of your choice ” reveal the truth that the dream which has just come true does not belong to the girl at all.
但讽刺的是，“你选择的”这几个字揭露了一个事实，那就是这个刚刚被实现的梦想并不属于这个女孩。
③It is such a common thing nowadays that parents make a lot of decisions for their children，even at the major turning points of their life, including choosing colleges and majors, hunting for a job or getting married.
现如今的一个普遍现象是父母为孩子做很多决定，甚至在他们人生的重大转折点，包括选择大学和专业、找工作或是结婚。
④Several reasons account for this phenomenon.
很多原因可以解释这一现象。
⑤First of all, parents always think that they are able to make a wiser choice than teenagers .
首先，父母总是认为他们可以比孩子做出更明智的决定。
⑥Also，they attach too much attention to their only child in the family.
而且，对于家里的独生子女，父母给予了太多的关注。
⑦What's more, it seems to be the only way to realize their unfulfilled dreams by letting their children do things that they want them to.
此外，父母让孩子做他们想让孩子做的事情，好像这是实现他们自己未实现的梦想的唯一途径。
⑧For teenagers, there is a long way to go in their life. They will finally make decisions by themselves.
对青少年来说，人生道路很漫长。
⑨To be master of their own fate is a great step in their growth.
他们最终要自己做决定。而成为自己命运的主人是成长过程中的一大步。
