把这一句,留给此刻的你

Never use the word 'audience.' The very idea of a public, unless the poet is writing for money, seems wrong to me. Poets don't have an 'audience'. They're talking to a single person all the time.

永远不要用“听众”这个词。“除非诗人是为了钱而写作,否则公众的想法在我看来就是错误的。诗人没有“听众”。他们一直在和一个人说话。

— Robert Graves 罗伯特·格雷夫斯

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT

关于学习、善意与成长,读一句,再想一想。

We all have a natural instinct to protect children from harm. It's never fun to see a child hurt, even if it's just a scraped knee. But on the other hand, children need to take on physical challenges to learn and grow, and scraped knees and other bumps and bruises teach them valuable lessons about their own limits.

我们都有保护儿童免受伤害的自然本能。看到孩子受伤从来都不是一件有趣的事,即使只是擦伤了膝盖。但另一方面,孩子们需要接受身体上的挑战来学习和成长,擦伤膝盖和其他磕碰和瘀伤教会了他们关于自身极限的宝贵经验。
