04 追随你的梦想 Catch the Star That Will Take You to Your Dreams
Anonymous
Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you've made, have faith in your judgment, catch the star that twinkles in your heart, and it will lead you to your destiny's path.Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.
Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes, but don't let them discourage you.Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique.The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination.
Find the star that twinkles in your heart for you alone are capable of making your brightest dreams come true. Give your hopes, everything you've got and you will catch the star that holds your destiny.

Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them.
此处前后两个句子在逻辑上构成转折关系，是由though引导的转折用法。
though是“虽然”的意思，既可以放句首，也可以放句末。用法和although大致相同。
1.用作连词表示“虽然”，两者大致同义，可换用，只是although比though更为正式：
Though/Although it was cold, we went out.
虽然很冷，但我们还是出门了。
Though/Although it was barely nine o'clock, she has already gone to bed.
尽管才九点钟，她已经上床睡觉了。
Though/Although we are poor, we are still happy.
我们虽然穷，仍然很幸福。
2.although一般不用作副词，而though可用作副词，且一般放在句末（不放在句首），意为“可是”“不过”：
It's hard work；I enjoy it though.
工作很辛苦，可是我乐意干。
You can count on him, though.
不过你可以指靠他。
3.一定要注意的是，though/although不能与but同时出现在一个句子里。例如：可以说“Poor though I am, I can afford it.”或者“I am poor, but I can afford it.”，但是不能说“Poor though I am, but I can afford it.”。
