A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
信任
Believe
The Internet has given atheists, agnostics, skeptics, the people who like to destroy everything that you and I believe, the almost equal access to your kids as your youth pastor and you have... whether you like it or not.
互联网给了无神论者、不可知论者、怀疑论者、那些喜欢破坏你和我所相信的一切的人,给了你和你的孩子几乎平等的机会,就像你和你的青年牧师一样……不管你喜不喜欢。
Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.
最终,我相信,目前试图用人造计算机来理解大脑的尝试将被认为是巨大的浪费时间。人造计算机可以出色地执行一些与有意识的人相同的外部任务。
I don't get bothered by people saying what they say. I'm a happy person and I'm happy with my looks. I'm not an insecure person. I believe if somebody chooses plastic surgery it should be for themselves, not for anyone else.
我不介意别人说什么。我是一个快乐的人,我对自己的外表很满意。我不是一个没有安全感的人。我相信,如果有人选择整容手术,那应该是为了自己,而不是为了别人。
I didn't think there was life after modelling, believe me. It's a hit to the ego when you are not the diva on the set any more. But I think what keeps me going are challenges. I love when people tell me I can't do something.
相信我,我不认为模特之后还有生活。当你不再是片场的女主角时,这对你的自尊是个打击。但我认为让我坚持下去的是挑战。我喜欢听别人说我无能为力。
I think people believe in heaven because they don't like the idea of dying, because they want to carry on living and they don't like the idea that other people will move into their house and put their things into the rubbish.
我认为人们相信天堂是因为他们不喜欢死亡,因为他们想继续活下去,他们不喜欢别人搬进他们的房子,把他们的东西扔进垃圾。
I believe there should be no arbitrary date set for withdrawal and yet no permanent, unending deployment. No cut and run, yet measured progress in helping a people who want to be free without an illusion of overnight success.
我认为,不应该任意确定撤军日期,也不应该有永久的、无休止的部署。没有捷径可走,但在帮助那些希望获得自由而不幻想一夜成功的人方面,我们取得了长足的进步。
I believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination - the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life.
我相信,除了神的决心和命令,什么也不会发生。我们将永远无法逃脱神的预定的教义——神预先指定某些人进入永生的教义。
It is going to be an experiment of how it works, and I see I have all reasons to believe that it will work fine. But it's a short time. And we also have pushed the envelope here a little beyond what has been done in the past.
这将是一个如何运作的实验,我有充分的理由相信它会运作得很好。但时间很短。我们也已经超越了过去的做法。
That which I have set out in Latin is not my words but the words of God and of apostles and prophets, who of course have never lied. He who believes shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be damned. God has spoken.
我用拉丁文所陈明的,不是我的言语,乃是神和使徒并先知的言语,他们从来没有说谎。信的人必得救,不信的人必被定罪。上帝说。
I believed or thought I was disoriented and the victim of a bizarre dream and I believe I paced in and out of the room and possibly into one of the other rooms. I may have re-examined her, finally believing that this was true.
我相信或认为我迷失了方向,是一个奇怪的梦的受害者,我相信我在房间里进进出出,可能还进了另一个房间。我可能重新审视了她,最终相信这是真的。
I believe that man will not merely endure. He will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.
我相信人类不仅能忍受。他将获胜。他是不朽的,不是因为只有他在万物中有无穷无尽的发言权,而是因为他有一个灵魂,一个能够同情、牺牲和忍耐的精神。
I believe that access to a university education should be based on the ability to learn, not what people can afford. I think there is no more nauseating a sight than politicians pulling up the ladder of opportunity behind them.
我认为接受大学教育的基础应该是学习能力,而不是人们能负担得起的东西。我认为最令人作呕的景象莫过于政客们把机会阶梯往上拉。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
You know, I just don't believe that art is supposed to make sense. I really don't think it's supposed to be analyzed to death. It's left to the listener or looker to get what they can get from it.
你知道,我只是不相信艺术应该有意义。我真的不认为它应该被分析到死。这就留给了听众或旁观者,他们可以从中得到什么。
Believe you can and you're halfway there.
相信你能做到,你已经成功了一半。
I don't think it was meant for us to win today. But I believe this will roll off our backs pretty easily, and we'll be ready to go at it again on Tuesday.
我不认为我们今天会赢。但我相信这将很容易从我们的背上滚下来,我们将准备好在周二再次这样做。
Relativism should be confronted where it damages fundamental human rights, because we're not relativists if we believe that the human being should be at the centre of society and the rights of every human being should be respected.
相对主义应该在损害基本人权的地方受到挑战,因为如果我们认为人类应该处于社会的中心,每个人的权利都应该得到尊重,那么我们就不是相对主义者。
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
我不觉得有必要相信,那位赋予我们理智、理智和智慧的上帝有意让我们放弃使用它们。
You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
你比你相信的更勇敢,比你看起来更坚强,比你认为的更聪明。
