Seeing the seven wonders of the world， going on safari in Africa and swimming with dolphins are among the list of 50 things the average person wants to do before they die.

參觀世界七大奇跡、去非洲遠(yuǎn)行、和海豚一起游泳，這三件事上了英國年輕人們死前最想做的50件事的清單上。

But sadly researchers have found that most adults will only ever fulfill five of their lifelong ambitions. Many feel they do not have enough time to tick off the experiences， while others admit to not being fit or adventurous enough or being too afraid of getting hurt.

不過遺憾的是，研究者發(fā)現(xiàn)大多數(shù)人一生中只能達(dá)成5個(gè)抱負(fù)。很多人說他們沒有時(shí)間把想法一一實(shí)現(xiàn)，也還有一些承認(rèn)他們沒有足夠的勇氣，或是擔(dān)心在完成這些事的過程中受傷。

Becoming a millionaire， traveling the world， seeing the Northern Lights， trekking the Great Wall of China and being mortgage free are the top five respectively on the checklist of dreams.

位列人們夢(mèng)想清單前五條的分別是：成為百萬富翁、環(huán)游世界、去北極看極光、登長城，以及還清所有貸款。

Among the other less surprising entries are writing a novel， learning to speak another language， visiting the Egyptian pyramids and running a marathon.

另外還有一些意料之中的事情，如寫一部小說、學(xué)說一門外語、參觀埃及金字塔以及跑一次馬拉松。

But ambitions that might fairly be considered less universal also feature， including travelling around New Zealand in a Winnebago motor home， inventing something that changes people lives， riding a Segway scooter and going to Harry Potter World in Florida.

還有一些很多人想實(shí)現(xiàn)的夢(mèng)想可能沒那么大眾：包括開著溫尼貝戈房車環(huán)游新西蘭、發(fā)明出能改變?nèi)祟惿畹臇|西、玩滑板車、去佛羅里達(dá)的哈利波特世界。

Other boxes to tick range from gambling in Las Vegas， driving down Route 66 in the United States and visiting Disneyland to meeting the Queen， learning to fly a helicopter and emigrating.

其他夢(mèng)想小到去拉斯維加斯賭博、開車駛完美國66號(hào)公路全程、去迪士尼樂園，大到參見女王、學(xué)開直升飛機(jī)和移民。

The list was complied following a study commissioned by outdoor clothing company Helly Hansen of 2，000 adults. More than one third of people surveyed complained that they did not have enough time to achieve their ambition.

這個(gè)清單是一項(xiàng)研究的成果，由戶外運(yùn)動(dòng)服裝公司Helly Hansen委托，共調(diào)查了2000名成年人。超過三分之一的受調(diào)查者抱怨自己沒有時(shí)間去實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的抱負(fù)。

More than a quarter also did not believe they were fit enough to attempt their ultimate goal and 12 per cent confessed that had no ambitions at all. Nearly half also realized that they have to be more adventurous to achieve their ambitions.

另有四分之一以上的人認(rèn)為身體狀況無法使他們達(dá)成最終目標(biāo)，還有12%承認(rèn)他們根本沒有抱負(fù)。近半數(shù)的人也已經(jīng)意識(shí)到他們必須要更大膽冒險(xiǎn)才能達(dá)成抱負(fù)。

A spokesperson from Helly Hansen told The Daily Express： “It is fantastic to see that so many people still have a passion for taking to the outdoors in order to experience new challenges.”

Helly Hansen的發(fā)言人對(duì)《每日快報(bào)》表示說：“這很不可思議，看到這么多人仍然懷著激情，去戶外迎接新的挑戰(zhàn)。”

“But it is a real shame to see that some may not achieve lifelong ambitions because of a lack of faith in their own ability.”

“不過我們也很遺憾地看到，一些人對(duì)自己的能力缺乏信心，無法達(dá)成他們的終生目標(biāo)?！?/p>
