Beautiful Dreams/ 美丽的梦想
They say Katie Vincent’s childhood dream
was to be an Olympic champion.
Her sport journey began at the Mississauga Canoe Club
when she was ten, since 2014 she won 4 gold medals
at World Championship, but
the Olympics remained out of reach.
Then, in 2020, women’s canoeing officially became
an Olympic event.
she was finally able to compete and won an Olympic bronze medal.
At the Paris Olympics in 2024,
at the age of 28, she won the championship
and brought home gold.
Beautiful dreams have blossomed and borne fruit along the way,
all thanks to hard work, patience, and perseverance.
I, too, have beautiful dreams,
though they feel more like untethered boats,
drifting aimlessly, eventually lost…
Until I arrived in Canada, the land of maple leaves,
one deep night, a poem arose from my heart,
helping me, in my middle years,
once again see the stars and find my way—
Since then, in the vast ocean of poetry,
I’ve happily paddled my canoe,
winning myself back amidst the waves,
holding on to my dream.
The sea of life is filled with countless towering peaks,
and this world brims with surprises and the unexpected.
Fortunately, we live in a peaceful land,
facing challenges with courage, striving forward,
where even a small boat can sail toward beautiful dreams.
据说凯蒂.文森特小时的梦想
就是成为奥运冠军。
她的旅程从10岁加入密西沙加独木舟俱乐部开始，
自2014年她荣获四枚世界比赛金牌却无缘奥运.
直到2020年 女子独木舟正式成为奥运比赛项目，
她终于可以参赛并赢得奥运铜牌，
2024年巴黎奥运会上，
28岁的她夺得冠军捧回金牌,。
美好的梦想一路开花结果，
一切归于努力，耐心和坚持。
而我也有美好的梦想，
只是它们更像不系之舟，
漂来漂去，最后迷失。。。
直到我来到枫叶的国度，加拿大，
一个深夜一首诗从我心中升起，，
让我在壮年之际，
再次看见星光，找回方向——
从此，在诗歌的大海里，
我快乐地划着独木舟，
在波涛中赢回自己，
坚守梦想。
人生的大海有无数险峰，
这个世界充满惊喜意外。
幸运的是，我们生活在一个和平的国度，
勇敢面对挑战，努力拼搏，
即使是一叶小舟，也能驶向美丽的梦想
