A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

责任

Responsibility

When people come to you for help, do not turn them off with pious words, saying, "Have faith and take your troubles to God." Act instead as though there were no God, as though there were only one person in the world who could help -- only yourself.

当人们向你寻求帮助时,不要用虔诚的话语来拒绝他们,说:“要有信心,把你的烦恼带到上帝那里去。”相反,要像没有上帝一样行动,就像世界上只有一个人能帮助你——只有你自己。

An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.

一个人如果违反了良心告诉他是不公正的法律,并且心甘情愿地接受监禁的惩罚,以唤起社会对其不公正的良心,那么他实际上是在表达对法律的最高尊重。

My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.

我的意志将塑造未来。无论我是失败还是成功,都将是我自己的事。我是原力;我可以扫清面前的任何障碍,也可以迷失在迷宫中。我的选择;我的责任;无论输赢,只有我掌握着自己命运的钥匙。

For you, the state is an entity with purposes of its own that the people can be required to serve. For us the word is only a label for the arrangements by which we the people delegate to some among us responsibility for things that concern us in common.

对你们来说,国家是一个有自己目的的实体,人民可以被要求为之服务。对我们来说,这个词只是一个标签,用来表示我们人民把共同关心的事情的责任委托给我们中间的一些人所作的安排。

We may not find the answers. We may not find Bigfoot. We may not find a chupacabra. We may not find out who was responsible for killing JFK, but we're going to keep looking, asking, probing. And one day - you know what? - we may get some of those answers.

我们可能找不到答案。我们可能找不到大脚怪。我们可能找不到卓帕卡布拉。我们可能无法找出谁是杀害肯尼迪的凶手,但我们将继续寻找、询问和调查。有一天,你知道吗?-我们可能会得到一些答案。

Becoming responsible adults is no longer a matter of whether children hang up there pajamas or put dirty towels in the hamper, but whether they care about themselves and others -- and whether they see everyday chores as related to how we treat this planet.

成为负责任的成年人不再是孩子们把睡衣挂在那里或把脏毛巾放进篮子里的问题,而是他们是否关心自己和他人,以及他们是否认为日常琐事与我们如何对待这个星球有关。

Certainly it is a blessing to have three beautiful kids who are all healthy. God put them here for me to nurture and bring them up and try to keep as close to right as I can. So it's a blessing. It's a big responsibility, but at the same time it's an honor.

当然,有三个健康漂亮的孩子是一件幸事。上帝把他们放在这里,让我来养育他们,抚养他们,并尽可能地让他们接近我的权利。所以这是一种祝福。这是一个很大的责任,但同时也是一种荣誉。

A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how."

一个人如果意识到自己对一个深情地等待着他的人所承担的责任,或者意识到自己对一项尚未完成的工作所承担的责任,他就永远不能抛弃自己的生命。他知道他的存在的“为什么”,并将能够忍受几乎任何“如何”。
