A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
审查
Review
If I never received a bad review then I wouldn't be a real writer, but I much prefer the good ones.
如果我从来没有收到过不好的评论,那么我就不是一个真正的作家,但我更喜欢好的评论。
A decision by the Supreme Court to subject Guantanamo to judicial review would eliminate these advantages.
最高法院对关塔那摩监狱进行司法审查的决定将消除这些优势。
For me writing and acting all comes out of the same place, a compulsion to review and connect to something. For me they are more similar than different.
对我来说,写作和表演都来自同一个地方,一种想要回顾和连接某些东西的冲动。对我来说,它们更相似而不是不同。
I mean people just have a way of - y'know they'll review your record in two sentences and put you in this little stupid box that you don't want to be in.
我的意思是,人们有一种方法——你知道,他们会用两句话来回顾你的记录,然后把你放进这个你不想进去的小盒子里。
I remember I read this harsh review about my show, and one of my friends told me that this was the exact same stuff people said about Madonna. And it's like, she didn't care. Madonna just came out and was herself. I respect that a lot.
我记得我读过一篇关于我的演出的严厉评论,我的一个朋友告诉我,这和人们对麦当娜的评论完全一样。就像,她不在乎。麦当娜就这样走了出来,做了她自己。我很尊重这一点。
I found out about reviews early on. They're mostly written by sad men on bad afternoons. That's probably why I'm less angry than some writers, who are so narcissistic they consider every line of every review, even a thoughtful one, as major treason.
我很早就发现了评论。它们大多是悲伤的人在糟糕的下午写的。这可能就是为什么我没有一些作家那么愤怒的原因,他们是如此自恋,他们认为每一篇评论的每一行,甚至是一个深思熟虑的评论,都是重大的背叛。
Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever.
长时间、不分青红皂白地读书是一项特别吃力不讨好、令人恼火和筋疲力尽的工作。它不仅包括赞美垃圾,还包括不断地对那些没有任何自然感觉的书做出反应。
