　　盡管這個問題鼓勵小朋友想象自己將來要做什么，但它并未給小朋友充分想象的自由。恰恰相反，它限制了小朋友想象的自由，因為有人問你長大后想做什么，你不可能回答20種不同的職業(yè)，盡管有些善良的大人會笑呵呵地說，”。哦，你太可愛了，但是你不能同時成為小提琴制作家和心理學家啊。你必須選一個?！?。
　　This is Dr. Bob Childs and heamp。39。s a luthier and psychotherapist. And this is Amy Ng, a magazine editor turned illustrator, entrepreneur, teacher and creative director. But most kids donamp。39。t hear about people like this. All they hear is that theyamp。39。re going to have to choose. But itamp。39。s more than that. The notion of the narrowly focused life is highly romanticized in our culture. Itamp。39。s this idea of destiny or the one true calling, the idea that we each have one great thing we are meant to do during our time on this earth, and you need to figure out what that thing isand devote your life to it.
　　這位是鮑勃。柴爾茲博士，他是一名弦樂器工匠和心理醫(yī)生。這位是艾米。恩，之前是雜志編輯，后來成為插畫作家，企業(yè)家教師和創(chuàng)意總監(jiān)。但大部分孩子都沒聽說過他們。他們聽到的只是要他們進行選擇和取舍。 事情遠不止這么簡單。 一生都心無旁騖的這一觀念， 在我們的文化中被過分浪漫化了。 這種命運論或者說 “。命中注定的職業(yè)”。的概念， 意思是我們每個人都有一份 命中注定的偉大事業(yè)，我們需要找到它， 并為之奮斗一生。
　　But what if youamp。39。re someone who isnamp。39。t wired this way? What if there are a lot of different subjects that youamp。39。re curious about, and many different things you want to do? Well, there is no room for someone like you in this framework. And so you might feel alone. You might feel like you donamp。39。t have a purpose. And you might feel like thereamp。39。s something wrong with you. Thereamp。39。s nothing wrong with you. What you are is a multipotentialite.
　　但如果你不是這樣的人呢?如果你對很多事都有好奇心，想去嘗試各種各樣的職業(yè)呢?那么在現有體系中，你很難有容身之處。你也許會感到孤獨。你也許會覺得自己沒有目標。你也許會覺得自己是不是有問題。你沒有問題。你是一名”。多重潛力者”。
　　A multipotentialite is someone with many interests and creative pursuits. Itamp。39。s a mouthful to say. It might help if you break it up into three parts: multi, potential, and ite. You can also use one of the other terms that connote the same idea, such as polymath, the Renaissance person. Actually, during the Renaissance period, it was considered the ideal to be wellversed in multiple disciplines. Barbara Sher refers to us as amp。quot。scanners.amp。quot。 Use whichever term you like, or invent your own. I have to say I find it sort of fitting that as a munity, we cannot agree on a single identity.
　　”。多重潛力者”。擁有多種興趣并且追求創(chuàng)新。聽起來很費解吧。如果把它拆成三部分可能比較好理解：多重的，有潛力的，人。你也可以用其他詞來表述類似的意思，比如”。博學者”。，或者”。文藝復興者”。實際上，在文藝復興時代，精通多個學科是非常被推崇的。芭芭拉。謝爾稱我們?yōu)椤?。掃描儀”。你可以選擇一個自己喜歡的詞，或者創(chuàng)造一個新的。我感覺自己找到了組織，因為我們無法接受只有一種身份。
　　Itamp。39。s easy to see your multipotentiality as a limitation or an affliction that you need to overe. But what Iamp。39。ve learned through speaking with people and writing about these ideas on my website, is that there are some tremendous strengths to being this way. Here are three multipotentialite super powers.
　　人們很容易把多重潛力視為一種局限或者痛苦，需要克服。但我通過與人們交流，以及把這些觀點發(fā)到我的網站上，我發(fā)現多重潛力者有很
