Reflection
The arts, as a reflection of human existence at its highest, have always and spontaneously lived up to this demand of plenitude. No mature style of art in any culture has ever been simple.
艺术作为人类存在的最高反映，总是自发地满足着这种丰富性的要求。在任何文化中，没有一种成熟的艺术风格是简单的。
The reflection of the flame in the glass seems to be touching the hand. And you feel the helpless fear of these dismembered parts. This sort of thing can hardly be visualized at the script stage.
火焰在玻璃上的反射似乎碰到了那只手。你会对这些被肢解的部分感到无助的恐惧。这类事情在脚本阶段很难可视化。
For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be.
因为无论我们能从上帝那里获得什么知识，无论是通过知觉还是反思，我们都必须相信，上帝在许多方面都比我们所认为的要好得多。
It is not possible, given any degree of optimism and generosity in regard to people in general, to set a time limit on creative reflection or a limitation on the number of people involved in the creation.

Eloquence, at its highest pitch, leaves little room for reason or reflection, but addresses itself entirely to the desires and affections, captivating the willing hearers, and subduing their understanding.

Marriage is a reflection of your life in general: how you treat people, how you argue, how secure you are in your own thoughts. How vehemently do you argue your point of view? With what disdain do you view the other's point of view?
婚姻是你生活的一个整体反映:你如何对待别人，你如何争论，你在自己的思想中有多安全。你对自己的观点争论得有多激烈?你用什么样的蔑视来看待别人的观点?
Now to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravitation before going for a walk. Such rules and laws are deduced from the accomplished fact; they are the products of reflection.
现在，在照相之前先研究构图的规则，有点像在散步之前先研究万有引力定律。这些规则和规律是从既成事实中推导出来的;它们是反思的产物。
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.
可以说，每一种痛苦的一部分都是痛苦的影子或反映:你不仅要受苦，而且必须不断地思考你受苦的事实。我不仅在无尽的悲伤中度过每一天，而且在每一天都想着在悲伤中度过每一天。
Whether at work, at home or in public, we have been trained to believe that who we are at the core of our being is often unacceptable. As a result, we work diligently to live up to - and sometimes down to - what others have made us out to be, whether or not it is an accurate reflection of who we are.
无论是在工作中，在家里还是在公共场合，我们都被训练得相信，我们的核心是什么，这往往是不可接受的。因此，我们努力工作，不辜负他人对我们的期望，有时甚至会辜负他人对我们的期望，不管这是否准确地反映了我们是谁。
