A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
原因
Reason
The reason why I have lost weight is that I looked at the international schedule and thought that I wanted to play for another two years. It is a very hectic schedule and if I want to get through that then I have to be in the best shape that I can.
我体重减轻的原因是我看了国际赛程,觉得我想再打两年。这是一个非常忙碌的时间表,如果我想度过这段时间,我就必须保持最好的状态。
I think England has served me very well. I like living in London for the reasons I gave. I have absolutely no intentions of cutting those ties. There is absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly not, so that I can have a swimming pool and a palm tree.
我认为英格兰对我很好。我喜欢住在伦敦是因为我给出的理由。我绝对没有切断这些联系的意图。完全没有理由这样做。当然不是,这样我就可以有一个游泳池和一棵棕榈树。
It was part of the reason I almost didn't go public with my diagnosis - I was embarrassed. I felt, 'Oh, I've always talked about exercising. And I got cancer.' And then I realized it's a great example of showing that cancer can hit anyone at any time.
这也是我几乎没有把我的诊断公之于众的部分原因——我很尴尬。我觉得,‘哦,我一直在谈论锻炼。我得了癌症。“然后我意识到这是一个很好的例子,表明癌症可以在任何时候袭击任何人。
The last four or five hundred years of European contact with Africa produced a body of literature that presented Africa in a very bad light and Africans in very lurid terms. The reason for this had to do with the need to justify the slave trade and slavery.
在过去的四五百年里,欧洲人与非洲的接触产生了大量的文学作品,这些作品把非洲描述得非常糟糕,用非常耸人听闻的语言描述非洲人。其原因与为奴隶贸易和奴隶制辩护的需要有关。
Women are the real reason we get up every day. I'm talking about real men. If there were no women, I would not even have to bathe, because why would I care? These are guys I'm hanging with. I wake up for a woman every day of my life to make it happen for her.
女人是我们每天起床的真正原因。我说的是真正的男人。如果没有女人,我甚至不用洗澡,因为我又何必在乎呢?这些人是我的朋友。我每天都为一个女人醒来,为她实现梦想。
There are a couple of things that I'm sure people don't think are important, but I do. I don't like hair changes unless there's a reason for it. Clothing - I don't like to see an outfit worn more than one time in an hour - you can wear it again a few weeks later.
有几件事我确信人们不认为重要,但我认为重要。我不喜欢头发变了,除非有原因。衣服——我不喜欢看到一件衣服在一个小时内穿了不止一次——你可以在几周后再穿一次。
We are taught to consume. And that's what we do. But if we realized that there really is no reason to consume, that it's just a mind set, that it's just an addiction, then we wouldn't be out there stepping on people's hands climbing the corporate ladder of success.
我们被教导要消费。这就是我们所做的。但如果我们意识到确实没有理由消费,这只是一种心态,这只是一种上瘾,那么我们就不会踩着别人的手爬上企业成功的阶梯。
The fundamental fact about the Greek was that he had to use his mind. The ancient priests had said, "Thus far and no farther. We set the limits of thought." The Greek said, "All things are to be examined and called into question. There are no limits set on thought."
关于希腊人最基本的事实是他必须运用他的头脑。古代的祭司说过:“到此为止,不要再往前走了。”我们设定了思维的极限。”希腊人说、凡事都要审问审问。思想是没有限制的。”
Well, you know, certain - for one reason, I think that the intervention process is a good process for most people, but for me, it just looked like a bunch of my friends trying to get back at me and sit around taking jabs at me, you know, when I couldn't defend myself.
嗯,你知道,某些——其中一个原因,我认为干预过程是一个很好的过程对于大多数人来说,但对我来说,它看起来就像一群我的朋友想报复我,坐在抨击我,你知道,当我不能保护自己。
I took two or three months and I came up with a reason that I thought was enough and I went with it: if there is a God he's definitely not benevolent. We should mean less to him than ants. And if there is a God or there are gods they would value, more than anything, free will.
我花了两三个月的时间,想出了一个我认为足够的理由:如果真有上帝,他肯定不仁慈。我们对他的意义应该比蚂蚁小。如果真有上帝,或者真有上帝,他们会把自由意志看得比任何东西都重要。
When people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together.
当人们认为地球是平的时候,他们错了。当人们认为地球是球形的时候,他们错了。但是,如果你认为认为地球是球形和认为地球是扁平一样错误,那么你的观点就比这两种观点加起来还要错误。
We have no reason to think that climate change is harmful if you look at the world as a whole. Most places, in fact, are better off being warmer than being colder. And historically, the really bad times for the environment and for people have been the cold periods rather than the warm periods.
如果你把世界看作一个整体,我们没有理由认为气候变化是有害的。事实上,在大多数地方,变暖比变冷要好。从历史上看,对环境和人类来说,真正糟糕的时期是寒冷时期,而不是温暖时期。
