A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
声誉
Reputation
Promptitude is not only a duty, but is also a part of good manners; it is favorable to fortune, reputation, influence, and usefulness; a little attention and energy will form the habit, so as to make it easy and delightful.
迅速不仅是一种责任，也是良好礼貌的一部分;它有利于财富、声誉、影响和用途;稍加注意和精力就会养成习惯，使之变得轻松愉快。
A strong reputation is like a good bonfire. When you have one kindled it's easy to keep the flame burning, even if someone comes along and tries to piss on it. But if you fall asleep and neglect it...You'll wake up with ashes.
良好的声誉就像一堆篝火。当你点燃了一个，很容易让火焰继续燃烧，即使有人走过来试图在上面撒尿。但如果你睡着了，忽视了它……你会带着灰烬醒来。
The only trouble here is they won't let us study enough. They are so afraid we shall break down and you know the reputation of the College is at stake, for the question is, can girls get a college degree without ruining their health?
这里唯一的问题是他们不让我们好好学习。他们害怕我们会崩溃，你知道这所大学的声誉岌岌可危，因为问题是，女孩能在不损害健康的情况下获得大学学位吗?
People forget how outcast 'They Might Be Giants' can be. They have a reputation for writing really deft, funny, clever melodies, and they also make a lot of music for kids, which is terrific, but when you see them in concert, they can rock the house.
人们忘记了“他们可能是巨人”是如何被排斥的。他们以创作非常灵巧、有趣、聪明的旋律而闻名，他们也为孩子们创作了很多音乐，这非常棒，但是当你在音乐会上看到他们的时候，你会为之倾倒。
My reputation was a bit exaggerated. Things were written in newspapers, then copied, then doubled. One of the reasons why I never disclaimed that, was because I found it amusing. But I also constructed such an image for myself in order to gain more of a private life.
我的名声有点被夸大了。报纸上写的东西，然后复制，然后翻倍。我从未否认这一点的原因之一，是因为我觉得这很有趣。但为了获得更多的私人生活，我也为自己构建了这样一个形象。
I built a reputation as a songwriter in the industry before my own hits. People were used to coming to me for songs. There were songs like 'Clown' and 'Mountains' that were my songs that I wanted to keep. But the record labels saw me as a songwriter. It was hard to get people to believe in me as an artist.
在推出自己的热门歌曲之前，我就已经在这个行业中建立了作曲家的声誉。人们过去常来找我唱歌。“小丑”和“山”是我想保留的歌曲。但唱片公司认为我是一个作曲家。很难让人们相信我是个艺术家。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I think sometimes my humor is extremely dry, and a lot of times I would say things that I thought were very funny but... I have a reputation of - people think of me as a very fundamentalist, humorless fellow.
我觉得有时候我的幽默非常枯燥，很多时候我会说一些我认为很有趣的事情，但是……我有一个名声——人们认为我是一个非常原教旨主义者，缺乏幽默感的人。
It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.
显而易见是有好处的，尤其是如果你以敏锐而闻名。
Work is the price which is paid for reputation.
工作是为名誉付出的代价。
Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.

I have much to say why my reputation should be rescued from the load of false accusation and calumny which has been heaped upon it.
我有很多话要说，为什么我的名誉应该从堆积在它上面的诬蔑和诬蔑中拯救出来。
