Jacob’s Dream这首歌大概是什么意思？

　　这是个真是的故事，故事发生在美国宾夕法尼亚州的阿勒格尼山脉一带。

　　故事内容如下：

　　有一个叫塞缪尔的能干男子。他们一家住的小木屋是他亲手盖的。塞缪尔和妻子苏珊娜有两个儿子:约瑟夫5岁，乔治6岁。

　　在1856年4月24日一个大雾笼罩的早上，塞缪尔为了晚餐家里有肉吃出去打猎，他带上自己的狗还有枪出了家门。

　　当他回来的时候，大概过了九十分钟，他的妻子开始朝屋外叫喊。他们的儿子失踪了。这时候，雾越来越浓，找人变得困难，塞缪尔在森林里大声叫喊着，希望听到儿子们的回答，不久，更多人加入了搜寻。

　　他们搜寻了十天，帮忙的人数最后多达1000多人，甚至有些人来自50英里以外，也许现在看起来50英里不算远，但那时行走50英里是很困难的事情，最终他们还是没能找到两个小孩。

　　人们开始怀疑两名小孩是被他们的爸爸妈妈杀害了，并且找遍了小屋，小屋的地板都被翻开了，但还是没找到两个小孩。

　　有一个年轻的农民叫做雅各布。他好几个夜晚做了同一个恶梦，梦是关于两个小孩的，他梦见两个小孩的尸体蜷缩在他从未搜索过的一颗死掉的山毛树的窟窿里面。雅各布把这个梦告诉了他的哥哥，在1856年5月8日，他们沿着梦里的线路找到了两个小孩的尸体。

　　人们随后为塞缪尔一家捐钱，并在1910年为两个小孩建立了纪念碑，视约瑟夫和乔治为英雄，雅各布的梦也成为传奇。

　　Alison Krauss听说了这个故事，然后为其创作了“Jacob's dream”这首歌

1 关于梦想的英语励志句子

1 “Two gates there are for dreams,” said Penelope to Odysseus after his ten years' wandering had ended “One made for horn and one of for ivory The dreams that pass through the carved ivory delude and bring us tales that turn to naught;those that can come through polished horn accomplish real things whenever seen” “梦想有两扇门，”在奥德修斯结束了十年的漂泊后，潘尼洛对他说，“一扇是号角制成，一扇是象牙制成。

通过精雕细缕的象牙门得梦想不过是一场会归于无的海市蜃楼的童话；而那些通过磨砺的号角门的梦想才会成为真实，为人所见。”2 The dream was always running ahead of me To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle。

梦想总是跑在我前面，追寻它们，乃至仅有一瞬间的与梦想合而为一，也都是动人的生命奇迹。3 Conviction is everything in wishing If you don't believe in your own power to make your wish come true, your wish will fly away, never to be seen again But which leads to the most important point of all If you're wishing for something possible, then it may be possible for you to do whatever you need to make it come true The ultimate magic is not wishing, but doing在许愿时，必须要深信不疑。

如果你不相信自己有能力让愿望成真，你的愿望就会飞走，再也看不见。但那正说明了最重要的一点。

如果你所希望的是有可能实现得了的，那么你有可能会不惜一切地去实现它。最大的魔力不在于许愿，而在于去做。

4 Dreams don't abandon a painstaking pursuit of the people, as long as you never stop pursuing, you will bathe in the brilliance of the dream梦想不抛弃苦心追求的人，只要不停止追求，你们会沐浴在梦想的光辉之中。5 Most of the time, our rich pocket, but poor head; we have a dream, but the lack of thought很多时候，我们富了口袋，但穷了脑袋；我们有梦想，但缺少了思想。

6 When you truly want something, all the universe conspires to help you finish it当你真心渴望一件东西的时候，整个宇宙都会联合起来帮你完成它。7 The pursuit of a cause of the people, can “dream” doing higher Although at the beginning of a dream, but as long as you keep doing, do not easily give up, dreams can come true一个有事业追求的人，可以把“梦”做得高些。

虽然开始时是梦想，但只要不停地做，不轻易放弃，梦想能成真。8 With a burning desire to achieve the dream as a backing, so that the desire to become enthusiastic, let it become your brain in one of the most important things用强烈欲望作为达成梦想的后盾，使欲望变得狂热，让它成为你脑中最重要的一件事。

9 Who has the material to survive, people have a dream only talk about life You have to understand life and life different Animal survival, while others life。人有了物质才能生存，人有了梦想才谈得上生活。

你要了解生存与生活的不同吗？动物生存，而人则生活。10 The dream is the other shore, the reality is that on this side, action is the bridge connecting梦想是彼岸，现实是此岸，行动是那座连接的桥。

11 Getting out of bed in winter is one of life's hardest mission冬天，将自己从被窝里掏出来，是人生最难的任务之一了。12 The future is scary but you can't just run to the past cause it's familiar未来会让人心生畏惧，但是我们却不能因为习惯了过去，就逃回过去。

13 I love it when I catch you looking at me then you smile and look away我喜欢这样的时刻：我抓到你正在看我，你笑了，然后害羞地别过脸去。14 Having a calm smile to face with being disdained indicates kind of confidence被轻蔑的时候能平静的一笑，这是一种自信。

15 When there's no expectation, losing won't bring hurt, gaining makes you surprised不去期望。失去了不会伤心，得到了便是惊喜。
