A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
还记得
Remember
They cannot make it say what they want it to say. And this is the beginning and the end of the case for retaining the old language: If the churches give it up, who will remember how to say what is said?
他们不能让它说他们想说的话。这就是保持旧语言的开始和结束:如果教会放弃了它,谁会记得该怎么说呢?
If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.
如果你站起来被计数,你可能会不时地被击倒。但请记住:一个被对手击倒的人可以重新站起来。一个被从众心理压扁的人会永远消沉下去。
I remember my wife and I used to get on plane and see everybody else with their babies. They'd be putting strollers and car seats up above, and we'd think: Oh, please Lord, don't make us go through that.
我记得我和我的妻子曾经上过飞机,看到每个人都带着他们的孩子。他们会把婴儿车和汽车座椅放在上面,我们会想:哦,上帝,请不要让我们经历这些。
I remember that all of a sudden, the car felt like I couldn't control it. It was absolutely the most horrifying experience. We rolled over, off the freeway. I think there was something wrong with the car.
我记得,突然间,那辆车感觉我无法控制它。这绝对是最可怕的经历。我们翻了个身,离开了高速公路。我想是车子出了毛病。
I remember telling the agent, 'I don't want to do anything but Broadway.' She was like, 'That's not really possible because there is not that much Broadway. So I'll send you out on TV and stuff like that.'
我记得我告诉经纪人,‘除了百老汇,我什么都不想做。她说,那不太可能,因为百老汇没有那么多。所以我会让你上电视之类的节目。”
Nature surrounds us, from parks and backyards to streets and alleyways. Next time you go out for a walk, tread gently and remember that we are both inhabitants and stewards of nature in our neighbourhoods.
大自然围绕着我们,从公园和后院到街道和小巷。下次你出去散步的时候,请小心翼翼地走着,记住,在我们的社区里,我们既是自然的居民,又是自然的管理者。
Then, there was Greenpeace, I remember that when they first started out with the boats in the waters, and the guys in the boats between the whales and the boats that will hunting the whales with spear guns.
然后是绿色和平组织,我记得他们刚开始的时候是带着船在水里航行,那些人在鲸鱼和用鱼叉猎捕鲸鱼的船之间航行。
I'm old enough, by a long shot, to remember going to the library and spending days researching. If I was looking for a line from a poem or something else I needed, that would be the trip I would have to take.
从长远来看,我已经足够大了,可以记得去图书馆花了几天时间做研究。如果我要从一首诗或其他我需要的东西中寻找一句话,那就是我必须经历的旅程。
It turns out that my memory is just not that great, so for specific scenes with people doing stuff, sometimes I'd have the details all wrong or I couldn't remember what happened exactly, so I just let that be.
事实证明,我的记忆力不是很好,所以对于人们做事情的特定场景,有时我会把细节全搞错,或者我记不清到底发生了什么,所以我就顺其自然了。
But whatever my failure, I have this thing to remember - that I was a pioneer in my profession, just as my grandfathers were in theirs, in that I was the first man in this section to earn his living as a writer.
但无论我的失败是什么,我都要记住一件事——我是我的职业的先驱,就像我的祖父在他们的职业中一样,因为我是这个领域中第一个以作家为生的人。
I can't remember a time where I really battled with my body, but I can remember being asked to lose weight and battling with the advice. It hurt me. Especially as my baby fat naturally melted away as I got older.
我不记得有什么时候我真的和自己的身体做过斗争,但我记得有人要求我减肥,并与建议作斗争。它伤害我。特别是随着我年龄的增长,我的婴儿脂肪自然地消失了。
I remember an article, I can't recall who by, it was after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which said that now the Wall was down, there could be no more class war. Only someone with money could ever say such a thing.
我记得有一篇文章,我想不起来是谁写的了,是在柏林墙倒塌后写的,说现在柏林墙已经倒塌了,不可能再有阶级战争了。只有有钱的人才会说这样的话。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Every Friday we'd do a final practice 'walk-through' for the game, and I just remember we were always out on the field dancing and singing together.
每个星期五,我们都会为比赛做最后一次“演练”,我只记得我们总是一起在球场上唱歌跳舞。
I will remember the kisses our lips raw with love and how you gave me everything you had and how I offered you what was left of me.
我会记得我们的唇因爱而生涩,记得你给了我你所拥有的一切,记得我给了你我所剩下的一切。
I started playing guitar before I can really remember, and I started writing really early, too.
我还没记事就开始弹吉他了,我也很早就开始写作了。
Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence.
不是记忆的能力,恰恰相反,是遗忘的能力,是我们存在的必要条件。
I remember all the good times we had together and I wonder where I went wrong. I need to feel your touch I need you here so much.
我记得我们在一起的所有美好时光,我想知道我哪里做错了。我需要感受你的触摸,我非常需要你在这里。
Remember, you didn’t come here to write your heart out. You came to write it in.
记住,你来这里不是为了把你的心写出来。你是来写的。
