A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
信任
Believe
I believe that the quantum of our knowledge will increase considerably in the coming years and that scientists will continue to be amongst the brave voices speaking out.
我相信,在未来的几年里,我们的知识将大大增加,科学家们将继续勇敢地发出自己的声音。
I believe in justice, maybe not in this life, but there has to be justice. And if there isn't a God, I think it would be very depressing. I'd prefer to believe there is.
我相信正义,也许这辈子不会,但正义必须存在。如果没有上帝,我想这将是非常令人沮丧的。我宁愿相信有。
Many people believe that our lives end not when we die but when the very last person who knew us dies. Memory is part of it, yes, but I think it's much more than memory.
许多人认为,我们的生命不是在我们死的时候结束的,而是在认识我们的最后一个人死的时候结束的。记忆是其中的一部分,是的,但我认为它远远不止是记忆。
We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.
只要我们相信,我们就与神和好,但并不总是与我们自己和好。赦免的事虽过了王的手和印,却还没有交在囚犯手里。
I believe Watergate shows that the system did work. Particularly the Judiciary and the Congress, and ultimately an independent prosecutor working in the Executive Branch.
我相信水门事件证明了这个系统是有效的。尤其是司法和国会,以及最终在行政部门工作的独立检察官。
Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.
相信我,老年是一件美好而愉快的事情。诚然,你被轻轻地推下了舞台,但随后你作为观众得到了一个如此舒适的前排座位。
I am not someone who believes we should build a fence around our country but I do believe there ought to be some fairness with respect to the rules of this globalization.
我不是那种认为我们应该在我们的国家周围筑起围墙的人,但我确实认为,在全球化的规则方面应该有一些公平。
Competition in armament, both land and naval, is not only a terrible burden upon the people, but I believe it to be one of the greatest menaces to the peace of the world.
陆海空军备竞赛不仅是人民的可怕负担,而且我认为它是对世界和平的最大威胁之一。
I used to believe there were people on Mars, and of course now we know there aren't. Mars held particular interest. I was curious what kind of beings they would look like.
我曾经相信火星上有人类,当然现在我们知道没有了。火星引起了特别的兴趣。我很好奇他们会是什么样的人。
The fidelity question is difficult for me. Society has made us believe we're supposed to be monogamous when we're not killer whales, or whatever the monogamous species is.
忠诚的问题对我来说很难。社会让我们相信,当我们不是虎鲸或任何一夫一妻制的物种时,我们应该是一夫一妻制的。
Women should try to increase their size rather than decrease it, because I believe the bigger we are, the more space we'll take up, and the more we'll have to be reckoned.
女性应该试着增加而不是减少她们的尺寸,因为我相信我们越大,我们所占的空间就越大,我们需要被考虑的也就越多。
I'm incredibly impressed by people who organize to achieve a goal, and believe that they can make a difference and then go ahead and do just that. I think it's incredible.
我对那些组织起来实现目标的人印象深刻,他们相信自己可以做出改变,然后就去做。我认为这是不可思议的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Anybody who believes that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach flunked geography.
任何相信要想抓住男人的心,就要先抓住他的胃的人,地理考试都不及格。
Most of us believe in trying to make other people happy only if they can be happy in ways which we approve.
我们大多数人相信,只有当别人能以我们认可的方式快乐时,我们才会努力让他们快乐。
I like to follow my favorite team and talk sports with my band or fans. You won't believe how many musicians are sports fans. We have so much time on tour that we need these outlets for relaxation.
我喜欢跟随我最喜欢的球队,和我的乐队或球迷谈论运动。你不会相信有多少音乐家是体育迷。我们有这么多时间在旅游,我们需要这些出口放松。
I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
我不相信人会变老。我认为,在人生的早期,人到了一定的年龄,就会停滞不前。
I get so nervous on stage I can't help but talk. I try. I try telling my brain: stop sending words to the mouth. But I get nervous and turn into my grandma. Behind the eyes it's pure fear. I find it difficult to believe I'm going to be able to deliver.
我在台上紧张得说不出话来。我试一试。我试着告诉我的大脑:不要再往嘴里发单词了。但我变得紧张,变成了我的奶奶。在眼睛后面是纯粹的恐惧。我发现很难相信我能做到。
