A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
信任
Believe
Yonkers made me strong and made me believe in myself, because so many people would doubt you and not believe. There are people that would believe in you, but the environment was so harsh, nobody wanted you to get out, you know?
扬克斯让我变得坚强,让我相信自己,因为很多人会怀疑你,不相信你。有人会相信你,但是环境太恶劣了,没人想让你出去,你知道吗?
You can't give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside - so be it. But at least you know you've tried. Ten minutes in the music scene was the equal of one hundred years outside of it.
你不能因为经济原因放弃你真正相信的东西。如果你死在路边,那就这样吧。但至少你知道你已经尝试过了。在音乐舞台上的十分钟相当于在外面的一百年。
Instead of yelling and spanking, which don't work anyway, I believe in finding creative ways to keep their attention - turning things into a game, for instance. And, when they do something good, positive reinforcement and praise.
我相信要找到创造性的方法来吸引他们的注意力,比如把事情变成一场游戏,而不是大喊大叫和打屁股,这些都不管用。当他们做了好事,积极的鼓励和表扬。
I do believe we have to understand why reality turned out to be different than expectations and estimates. But you have more public service - certainly many of you - than I have ever had, and you recognize that this is not unusual.
我确实认为,我们必须理解为什么现实与预期和估计不同。但是你们有比我更多的公共服务——当然你们中的许多人——你们认识到这并不罕见。
People don't want to believe that technology is broken. Pharmaceuticals, robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology - all these areas where the progress has been a lot more limited than people think. And the question is why.
人们不愿意相信技术已经坏了。制药、机器人、人工智能、纳米技术——所有这些领域的进展都比人们想象的有限得多。问题是为什么。
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。
It is here, my daughters, that love is to be found - not hidden away in corners but in the midst of occasions of sin. And believe me, although we may more often fail and commit small lapses, our gain will be incomparably the greater.
我的女儿们,爱就在这里——不是藏在角落里,而是藏在罪恶之中。相信我,虽然我们可能更经常地失败和犯下小错误,但我们的收获将是无与伦比的巨大。
Our Lord did not try to alter circumstances. He submitted to them. They shaped his life and eventually brought him to Calvary. I believe we miss opportunities and lovely secrets our Lord is waiting to teach us by not taking what comes.
我们的主并没有试图改变环境。他顺从了他们。他们塑造了他的一生,并最终把他带到加略山。我相信我们错过了机会和可爱的秘密,我们的主正等着教导我们不接受什么来了。
I believe sanity and realism can be restored to the teaching of Mathematical Statistics most easily and directly by entrusting such teaching largely to men and women who have had personal experience of research in the Natural Sciences.
我相信,如果把数理统计的教学主要委托给在自然科学领域有过研究经验的男性和女性,就可以最容易、最直接地恢复理智和现实主义。
I don't totally believe that all of the politicians see a problem with the gap between the scores of black children and other groups. I believe that many politicians think this has been the way it has always been, so what's the problem?
我并不完全相信所有的政客都认为黑人儿童和其他群体之间的差距存在问题。我相信很多政客都认为事情一直都是这样的,那么问题出在哪里呢?
Namely, we have no right to believe a thing true because everybody says so unless there are good grounds for believing that some one person at least has the means of knowing what is true, and is speaking the truth so far as he knows it.
也就是说,我们没有权利相信一件事是真实的,因为每个人都这么说,除非有充分的理由相信,至少有一个人有办法知道什么是真实的,并且在他所知道的范围内说的是真话。
The only theism worthy of our respect believes in God not because of the way the world is made but in spite of that. The only theism that is no less profound than the Buddha's atheism is that represented in the Bible by Job and Jeremiah.
唯一值得我们尊敬的有神论信仰上帝,不是因为世界是如何形成的,而是尽管如此。唯一与佛陀的无神论同样深刻的有神论,就是圣经中约伯和耶利米所代表的有神论。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I have two young children with autism. What could they have ever done to deserve that? What kind of a God allows the innocent to suffer? It's a mystery. Yet still, I believe in God.
我有两个患有自闭症的小孩。他们究竟做了什么才配得上这种待遇呢?什么样的神允许无辜的人受苦?这是一个谜。然而,我仍然相信上帝。
People believe what they want to believe.
人们相信他们想相信的。
Every person is the creation of himself, the image of his own thinking and believing. As individuals think and believe, so they are.
每个人都是他自己的创造,是他自己思想和信仰的形象。每个人的想法和信仰都是如此。
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。
I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.
我永远不会相信上帝和这个世界玩骰子。
