英语美文：Be in love with the process

For most of my adolescence and young adulthood, I fantasized about being a musician, a rock star, in particular. Any badass guitar song I heard, I would always close my eyes and envision myself up on stage playing it to the screams of the crowd, people absolutely losing their minds to my sweet finger-noodling. 
从孩提时代到青年时代，大多数时候，我都梦想成为一个音乐家，尤其是一个摇滚明星。每当听到劲爆的吉他音乐，我就会闭上眼睛，想象自己就站在舞台上演奏，台下的观众不停尖叫，他们沉醉在我指尖的美妙旋律里。

This fantasy could keep me occupied for hours on end. The fantasizing continued up through college, even after I dropped out of music school and stopped playing seriously. But even then, it was never a question of if I'd ever be up playing in front of screaming crowds, but when. 
这样的白日梦，我会做上好几个小时。这个梦想就这样陪伴着我，一直到了大学，甚至到了从音乐学校辍学、并彻底放弃演奏音乐时，它都还在我心中。但是，在那时候，问题并不在于我“是否”能实现登台的梦想，而在于“何时”能实现。

I was biding my time before I could invest the proper amount of time and effort into getting out there and making it work. First, I needed to finish school. Then, I needed to make money. Then, I needed to find the time. Then, and then nothing.
我在努力争取时间，投入充足的时间和努力来实现梦想。首先，我要完成学业。接着，我需要挣钱。然后，我需要找到时间。然后，然后就没有然后了。
