A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
信任
Believe
The First Amendment says nothing about your getting paid for saying anything. It just says you can say it. I don't believe that if a corporation pulls all the money out of you or a network pulls their money away or you get fired, you're being censored.
第一修正案并没有规定你说什么就能得到什么报酬。它只是说你可以这么说。我不相信,如果一家公司从你身上榨取了所有的钱,或者一个网络从你身上榨取了他们的钱,或者你被解雇了,你就会受到审查。
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。
I think the big thing I've had going for me in that regard has been the success of the league. I don't have quite as much control over things as people believe, so I frequently receive more credit than I deserve, and occasionally more criticism as well.
我认为在这方面我最大的收获就是联赛的成功。我对事情的掌控能力并不像人们想象的那么强,所以我经常得到比我应得的更多的赞扬,偶尔也会受到更多的批评。
But then there was Hendrix, man. Jimi was really the last cat to freak me. Jimi was playing all the stuff I had in my head. I couldn't believe it, when I first heard him. Man, no one can ever do what he did with a guitar. No one can ever take his place.
还有亨德里克斯。吉米真的是最后一只吓到我的猫。吉米在玩我脑子里所有的东西。当我第一次听到他的时候,我简直不敢相信。伙计,没人能像他那样弹吉他。没有人能代替他的位置。
I think all those artists are artists who are appreciated because you believe their words and you appreciate their honesty in their music. If you don't appreciate the honesty in the music, the beat can be fly as hell but you'll never give an emcee props.
我认为所有这些艺术家都是被欣赏的艺术家,因为你相信他们的话,你欣赏他们在音乐中的诚实。如果你不欣赏音乐中的诚实,节奏可以飞得像地狱,但你永远不会给主持人道具。
I realize we're not promised tomorrow. Believe me, I realize that. But if God blesses me and lets me stay, I love my life so much, it is such a good life. I am eager to throw myself at His feet, but I don't want to get on the first busload that is going.
我知道我们明天没有约定。相信我,我知道。但如果上帝保佑我,让我留下来,我很爱我的生活,这是如此美好的生活。我很想拜倒在他的石阶上,但是我不想搭上第一班车。
But what I believe is that if a person's individual rights or right to be a part of our economic system is violated under statute, we aggressively go after it. But we don't issue mandates to businesses that you've got to do this and you've got to do that.
但我认为,如果一个人的个人权利或成为我们经济体系一部分的权利受到法律的侵犯,我们会积极争取。但我们不会向企业下达命令,要求它们必须这样做,也必须那样做。
Not a lot of people know me outside of athletics and believe it or not I am actually quite shy. The exhilaration of a win or tears after falling are the extremes. It takes me a while to get to know someone, but once I do I am very loyal to my old friends.
除了体育运动,没有多少人认识我,信不信由你,我其实很害羞。胜利的喜悦和失败后的泪水是极端的。我需要一段时间去认识一个人,但是一旦我认识了,我就对我的老朋友非常忠诚。
I think the aim - and certainly the aim of what I've tried to do since leaving - is not political and certainly not a witch hunt at individuals. It's to try to direct our attention at what I believe is a fundamental fault analysis that we must now examine.
我认为,我离开欧盟的目的——当然也是我离开欧盟后一直试图做的事情的目的——不是政治性的,当然也不是针对个人的政治迫害。这是试图把我们的注意力放在我认为是我们现在必须检查的基本错误分析上。
Here's what I tell anybody and this is what I believe. The greatest gift we have is the gift of life. We understand that. That comes from our Creator. We're given a body. Now you may not like it, but you can maximize that body the best it can be maximized.
这是我告诉别人的,也是我相信的。我们拥有的最好的礼物就是生命。我们理解这一点。那来自我们的创造者。我们有一个身体。现在你可能不喜欢它,但你可以最大化你的身体它可以最大化。
For sure, you don't believe the good stuff. I mean, the good stuff is just insane - wacky. If you don't take it too much to heart, it does help when the negative stuff hits. And you know the negative stuff is coming. It's got to! What comes up must come down.
当然,你不相信好的东西。我的意思是,好东西就是疯了——古怪。如果你不把它放在心上,当负面的事情发生时,它确实会有所帮助。你知道负面的东西就要来了。它必须!有起必有落。
At least believe this many humans, who are interested obviously in this topic. Many of them visited me after lectures and meetings, in hope that I can give concrete answers to their questions. For it was clear: If that does not know it, who is to then know it?
至少相信这么多人,他们显然对这个话题感兴趣。他们中的许多人在讲座和会议结束后来找我,希望我能对他们的问题给出具体的答案。因为有一件事是清楚的,就是不知道,有谁知道呢?
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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 decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow; if I fail, or if I succeed at least I did as I believe.
我很久以前就决定永远不要走在任何人的阴影里;如果我失败了,或者我成功了,至少我做了我相信的事。
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 how you feel is very important to how you look - that healthy equals beautiful.
我相信你的感觉对你的外表很重要——健康等于美丽。
I believe that we form our own lives, that we create our own reality, and that everything works out for the best.
我相信我们形成了我们自己的生活,我们创造了我们自己的现实,每件事都朝着最好的方向发展。
My family never missed a visit in eight months, ever. I cried coming out. I didn't cry coming in. There's a big difference. I believe that God put me there for a reason, Incarceration is serious.
我的家人八个月来从未错过一次探望,从来没有。我哭着走了出来。我没有哭着进来。差别很大。我相信上帝把我关在这里是有原因的,监禁是很严重的。
