The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
激动的语言充其量不过是生动的。你必须冷静，才能说出神谕。

Mark Twain

It's our tendency to approach every problem as if it were a fight between two sides. We see it in headlines that are always using metaphors for war. It's a general atmosphere of animosity and contention that has taken over our public discourse.
我们倾向于把每一个问题都当作是双方之间的斗争来处理。我们在标题中看到它总是使用战争的隐喻。这是一种普遍的敌意和争论的气氛，已经占据了我们的公共话语。

In my world, history comes down to language and art. No one cares much about what battles were fought, who won them and who lost them - unless there is a painting, a play, a song or a poem that speaks of the event.
在我的世界里，历史可以归结为语言和艺术。没有人太在意曾经打过什么仗，谁赢了谁输了——除非有一幅画、一出戏、一首歌或一首诗讲述了这个事件。

They place great stress on the clarity of our language for expressing nuances and showing subtleties.

Anthropologists are a connecting link between poets and scientists; though their field-work among primitive peoples has often made them forget the language of science.
人类学家是连接诗人和科学家的纽带;尽管他们在原始民族中的野外工作常常使他们忘记了科学的语言。

War is what happens when language fails.
当语言失效时，战争就会发生。
