A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
真
Really
I'm always trying to reach a transcendent point, a romantic point, but reach it in a really unconventional way, a really profane way. To get to that romantic, touching, heartbreaking place, but through a lot of acts of profanity.
我总是试图达到一种超然的境界,一种浪漫的境界,但是是以一种非传统的,亵渎神灵的方式。去到那个浪漫、感人、令人心碎的地方,却要经历很多亵渎神明的行为。
But I don't know if people are meant to be together. You have to have a lot in common, choose well and be really fortunate. It's not like you're sprinkled with fairy dust. You have to believe that love will be there when you need it.
但我不知道人们是否注定要在一起。你必须有很多共同之处,做出正确的选择,并且非常幸运。又不是你身上撒满了仙尘。你必须相信爱会在你需要的时候出现。
Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.
有时候,同情是一种致命的能力,它能让你体会到生活在别人内心深处的感受。这是一种认识,我永远不会有真正的和平与快乐,直到和平与快乐最终也为你。
If someone really wanted you, they'd actually put some effort into trying to get your attention, and make sacrifices for you. They wouldn't just tell you they want you; they'd show you in every little way possible that they want you.
如果有人真的想要你,他们会付出一些努力来吸引你的注意,并为你做出牺牲。他们不会只告诉你他们想要你;他们会用各种可能的方式告诉你他们想要你。
The planets are never the same twice, they're always different, so they could compare the markings I had drawn with their current photographs and they knew that I was drawing what I was really seeing and it wasn't copied from somewhere.
行星从来没有两次是相同的,它们总是不同的,所以他们可以把我画的标记和他们现在的照片进行比较,他们知道我画的是我真正看到的,而不是从哪里复制来的。
With The Key, it was, I had gone through a divorce and losing my father, and just kinda really reminiscing about how much I loved the traditional side of country music, so I made a record that was really traditional from start to finish.
关键是,我经历了离婚,失去了父亲,回想起我是多么热爱乡村音乐传统的一面,所以我制作了一张从头到尾都非常传统的唱片。
I feel sorry for people who have to edit me. Which is why book writing is by far the most enjoyable. Really the only thing it's based on is whether it's good or not. No book editor, in my experience, is getting a manuscript and try to rewrite it.
我为那些不得不编辑我的人感到遗憾。这就是为什么写书是迄今为止最令人愉快的。它唯一的依据就是它是否好。以我的经验,没有一个图书编辑会拿着一份手稿,然后试图重写它。
I played softball and basketball growing up. I really wanted to play football but both parents said no. I was mad for a second, then got over it. Now, just because I'm tall doesn't mean I can play basketball. I was waaaaay better at swinging a bat.
我从小打垒球和篮球。我真的很想踢足球,但父母都拒绝了。我气了一会儿,然后就好了。现在,仅仅因为我高并不意味着我能打篮球。我挥棒打得更好了。
I also wanted to do something that I hadn't really seen in almost any black novels, which was a complex love story in which both people were extremely intelligent and talented and understood a lot of things and were still at odds getting it together.
我还想做一些几乎在任何黑人小说中都没有看到过的事情,那是一个复杂的爱情故事,在这个故事中,两个人都非常聪明、有才华,理解很多事情,但仍在争执中。
I have arrived at the conviction that the neglect by economists to discuss seriously what is really the crucial problem of our time is due to a certain timidity about soiling their hands by going from purely scientific questions into value questions.
我已经确信,经济学家忽视认真讨论我们这个时代真正关键的问题,是因为他们在从纯粹的科学问题转向价值问题的过程中,存在着一定的畏惧感。
This record for the first time - feels like a record that really represents my whole entire life and instead of just a period of my life. And it is really kind of eye opening and it makes me feel really good to hear this record and hear all the years.
这是我第一次录制这张唱片,感觉它真的代表了我的整个人生,而不仅仅是我生命中的一段时间。这真的让我大开眼界,听到这张唱片,听到这么多年来的声音让我感觉很好。
This is going to sound completely absurd, but I do sometimes feel like the enjoyment of an awards ceremony or the pride in the finished article hasn't ever surpassed the joy of doing the work, of making it. The doing it is really the bit I'm there for.
这听起来很荒谬,但有时我确实觉得,享受一个颁奖典礼,或者为完成了一篇文章而感到自豪,都无法超越工作的乐趣。做这件事真的是我的职责所在。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I used to break a lot of clubs. I probably was a little different than your average junior player. I did have a lot longer hair and a lot more brown hair. But my demeanor, you know, really from maybe my second, third year on Tour, has gotten a lot more even keel.
我过去经常打破很多俱乐部。我可能和一般的青少年球员有点不同。我的头发确实长了很多,棕色的头发也多了很多。但是我的风度,你知道,真的,从我巡演的第二、第三年开始,变得更加平稳。
If a person doesn't change, there's something really wrong with him.
如果一个人不改变,他就真的有问题。
If you ask how many Times You've crossed my mind, I will say once because you never really left.
如果你问你有多少次在我脑海中闪过,我会说一次,因为你从未真正离开。
Personally, I feel that in my own work I wanted to look programmed or impersonal but I don't really believe I am being impersonal when I do it. And I don't think you could do this.
就我个人而言,我觉得在我自己的工作中,我想让自己看起来程序化或不带个人色彩,但我并不真的相信我这样做时不带个人色彩。我觉得你做不到。
I'm lucky because I have a job I love. I really miss being away from home, being in my own bed, seeing my animals and siblings, having my moms cookies. I have a couple cats. I got a kitten about a year ago and now Im going on the road so I wont see him for a while. I feel bad.
我很幸运,因为我有一份我喜欢的工作。我真的很想念离开家,躺在自己的床上,看着我的动物和兄弟姐妹,吃着妈妈做的饼干。我有几只猫。大约一年前我养了一只小猫,现在我要出门了,所以我有一段时间见不到它了。我感觉很糟糕。
I became famous, I think, really because of the interpretation of other people's songs, way back when, and that's what I enjoy the most. And I'm a lazy bugger.
我成名,我想,真的是因为对别人歌曲的诠释,那是很久以前的事了,那是我最喜欢的。我是个懒虫。
