Subject: She has a pipe 1 dream.
第一、迷你对话
A: I dream of being 2 a writer. But I am afraid maybe it is just a pipe dream.
我梦想成为一名作家，但是恐怕是白日梦。
B: You should believe yourself. I will stand by you forever 3.
你要相信自己。我永远会支持你的。
第二、 地道表达
a pipe dream
1. 解词释义
Pipe是“烟斗”的意思，引申为“鸦片”的意思，那么pipe dream则是形容鸦片上瘾者陷入幻觉的状态。Pipe dream与鸦片没有任何瓜葛，而是用来指代“白日梦、幻想、空想‘知心妄想或一场春梦”。
2. 拓展例句
e.g. Father's plan to build a forest cabin 4 by the lake was just a pipe dream.
父亲想在湖滨筑一林中小屋的计划不过是个美梦罢了。
e.g. You could waste your whole life on a pipe dream.
白日梦会荒废你一生。
第三、 咬文嚼字
1. Stand by的意思是继续支持某人（尤为指身处险境的人）。其英文解释为：If you stand by someone, you continue to give them support, especially when they are in trouble.
e.g. We'll stand by you through thick and thin.
不管多么艰难困苦,我们都要支持你们。
e.g. I wouldn't break the law for a friend, but I would stand by her if she did.
我不会为朋友去犯法，但如果她犯了法的话我会支持她。
2. Dream of的意思是“梦想，渴望”。
e.g. My sons would never dream of expecting their clothes to be ironed 5.
我的几个儿子从不指望别人帮他们熨好衣服。
e.g. I've long dreamed of paying a visit to the Great Wall.
我一直渴望游览长城。
