核心句型：
I hope your idea takes wings.
希望你的想法能够成真。
take wings 直译就是：“插上翅膀”，汉语中也有为梦想插上翅膀这样的表达，意思是放飞自己的梦想，因为插上翅膀梦想就可以起飞翱翔了。所以这个习语的正确意思是：“起飞，成为现实”。因此，当美国人说"I hope your idea takes wings."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"I hope your idea will be fulfilled."、"I hope your dream will come true."。
情景对白：
Jane: Sir, I think the present job is not suitable for me. I've decided 1 to work as a teacher. Please accept my resignation.
简：老板，我觉得目前这份工作不太适合我。我决定了要当一名教师，请接受我的辞呈。
Boss: Fine, if you say so, I have to accept it. I hope your idea takes wings.
老板：好吧，既然你这么说，我也就只好接受你的辞职，希望你的想法能够成真。
