A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
关系
Relationships
Though I may accumulate a great deal of riches in this world, it is only my wealth of knowledge, talents, and emotional bonds that I keep when I leave.
虽然我可以在这个世界上积累大量的财富,但当我离开的时候,我所保留的只有我的知识、才能和情感的财富。
Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.
把你的手放在热炉子上一分钟,就像一个小时。和一个漂亮女孩一起坐一个小时,感觉就像一分钟。这就是相对论。
No company is preferable to bad, because we are more apt to catch the vices of others than their virtues, as disease is far more contagious than health.
没有比坏的伙伴更好的了,因为我们更容易抓住别人的缺点而不是优点,因为疾病比健康更具传染性。
But instead of that stuff you get relationships with people and neighbors that you would never get in a city. People in small towns are a lot more open.
但与之相反的是,你可以与你在城市里永远不会遇到的人和邻居建立关系。小城镇的人要开放得多。
Love is beyond reason. Love is not measurable in words. Love cannot be partial; it cannot have owners. Love is essentially beyond definition or concept.
爱是超越理智的。爱是无法用语言衡量的。爱不能偏颇;它不能有所有者。爱本质上超越了定义或概念。
Laughter is more than just a pleasurable activity...When people laugh together, they tend to talk and touch more and to make eye contact more frequently.
笑不仅仅是一种愉快的活动……当人们一起笑的时候,他们更倾向于交谈和触摸,更频繁地进行眼神交流。
We have to recognize that there cannot be relationships unless there is commitment, unless there is loyalty, unless there is love, patience, persistence.
我们必须认识到,除非有承诺,除非有忠诚,除非有爱、耐心和坚持,否则就不可能有关系。
Healthy relationships should always begin at the spiritual and intellectual levels - the levels of purpose, motivation, interests, dreams,and personality.
健康的人际关系应该从精神和智力层面开始——目标、动机、兴趣、梦想和个性。
The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.
生命中最重要的关系是你和自己的关系。因为无论发生什么事,你都会和你自己在一起。
Political promises are much like marriage vows. They are made at the beginning of the relationship between candidate and voter, but are quickly forgotten.
政治承诺很像婚姻誓言。它们是在候选人和选民之间的关系刚开始时做出来的,但很快就被遗忘了。
I believe that it is impossible for two individuals not committed to their own and each other’s well being to sustain a healthy and enduring relationship.
我相信,两个不忠于自己和对方幸福的人不可能维持健康持久的关系。
I can see now that a concept or even a feeling makes no sense unless out of our substance we spin around it a web of references, of relationships, of values.
我现在明白了,一个概念,甚至一种感觉,如果我们不从我们的本质出发,围绕它旋转一个参考、关系和价值观的网络,就没有任何意义。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I never hated a man enough to give him his diamonds back.
我从来没有恨到把钻石还给他的程度。
Your absence has not taught me to be alone, it merely has shown that when together we cast a single shadow on the wall.
你的离开并没有使我学会独处,它只是表明,当我们在一起时,我们在墙上投下了一个影子。
Things happen to everybody in the course of a lifetime. Relationships end, people die, tragedy befalls everyone. So everyone has this wealth of experience, and the older you are the more you have to draw on.
每个人在一生中都会遇到一些事情。关系结束,人们死去,悲剧降临到每个人身上。所以每个人都有丰富的经验,你年龄越大,你就越需要利用这些经验。
I don't know why I always end up talking about my relationships. I try not to.
我不知道为什么我总是以谈论我的人际关系结束。我尽量不这么做。
In a healthy relationship, there can't be one until there's two!
在一段健康的关系中,只有两个人在一起时才会有一个!
Our relationships are nourished and shaped by the commitment we express through our actions. Don't just speak; ACT!
我们的关系是由我们通过行动所表达的承诺所滋养和塑造的。不要只是说;行动!
