A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
信任
Believe
Of all liars the most arrogant are biographers: those who would have us believe, having surveyed a few boxes full of letters, diaries, bank statements and photographs, that they can play at the recording angel and tell the whole truth about another human life.
在所有的说谎者中,最傲慢的是传记作家:这些人会让我们相信,在调查了几个装满信件、日记、银行对账单和照片的盒子之后,他们可以像录音天使一样,讲述另一个人生活的全部真相。
There was a story that I was in a shoe shop and that I threw a pair of flip flops at the wall, shouting, 'I can't believe how overpriced these are!' I thought, 'Gosh, if I'm gonna take a big stand on something I would hope it would be for more than flip flops!'
有个故事说,我在一家鞋店里,我把一双人字拖扔到墙上,大声喊道:“我不敢相信这双鞋定价这么高!”我想,‘天哪,如果我要对某件东西采取强硬立场,我希望它不仅仅是指人字拖!’
I have a profound belief in the power of the Sacraments. I believe that in a Divine way the use of them teaches the teachable their inward meaning and therefore I think we need be in no hurry to attempt to teach new converts all that we think we know about them.
我深信圣礼的力量。我相信,以神圣的方式,使用他们教导可教的人他们的内在意义,因此,我认为我们不需要急于尝试教新皈依者我们认为我们所知道的关于他们的一切。
I don't believe in technological determinism, especially not in biology and medicine. We have strong laws to keep doctors from monkeying around with humans that will remain in place. It's simply not true that everything that is technologically possible gets done.
我不相信技术决定论,尤其是生物学和医学。我们有强有力的法律来阻止医生对人类乱搞,而这些法律将继续存在。并非所有技术上可行的事情都能完成。
The photographs were never about me. They were always about the people who were laying their lives on the line for basic civil rights. I look back and I can't believe there was ever a time in this country when ANY citizen could not vote. The times were appalling.
这些照片从来都不是关于我的。他们总是关心那些为争取基本公民权利而甘冒生命危险的人。回首往事,我不敢相信这个国家曾经有过任何一个公民不能投票的时候。当时的时代令人震惊。
I am not going to make excuses for the situation. Obviously it's an advantage, but that's the way it works. It's not over. We still have a lot of preseason and a lot of training camp left. You have to come out fighting. Believe me, I am not going to lay down here.
我不会为这种情况找借口。显然这是一个优势,但这就是它的工作方式。这不是结束。我们还有很多季前赛和训练营。你必须出来战斗。相信我,我不会在这里躺下的。
I believe in broken, fractured, complicated narratives, but I believe in narratives as a vehicle for truth, not simply as a form of entertainment, though I love entertainment, but also a way of conveying what needs to be conveyed about the works that I care about.
我相信破碎的、破碎的、复杂的叙事,但我相信叙事是真理的载体,不仅仅是一种娱乐形式,虽然我喜欢娱乐,但也是一种表达我所关心的作品需要传达什么的方式。
I believe that the purpose for which I and my fellow soldiers entered upon this war should have been so clearly stated as to have made it impossible to change them, and that, had this been done, the objects which actuated us would now be attainable by negotiation.
我相信,我和我的战友们参加这场战争的目的应该如此明确,以致不可能改变他们,如果做到了这一点,现在就可以通过谈判达成激励我们的目标。
There is a measure needing courage to adopt and enforce it, which I believe to be of virtue sufficient to redeem the nation in this its darkest hour: one only; I know of no other to which we may rationally trust for relief from impending dangers without and within.
有一种措施需要勇气来采取和执行,我认为这是一种美德,足以在这个国家最黑暗的时刻拯救这个国家:只有一种;我不知道还有什么别的东西,我们可以理性地相信它能使我们从内外迫在眉睫的危险中解脱出来。
It was improv that really helped me start coming up with recipes and just believe in my instincts. That's why the first recipe I made up was 'I Ain't Chicken Chicken' because I finally felt bold and fearless in the kitchen, which was an entirely new feeling for me.
正是即兴表演帮助我开始构思食谱并相信自己的直觉。这就是为什么我做的第一个食谱是“我不是鸡肉鸡肉”,因为我终于在厨房里感到大胆和无畏,这对我来说是一种全新的感觉。
I never take on anything that is just for the money or just for, you know. I always have to connect with it in a very personal way because I believe the audience will sense whether I'm into it or not, so I don't take on projects that I'm not really passionate about.
你知道,我从来不会为了钱或仅仅为了钱而接受任何事情。我总是必须以一种非常私人的方式与它联系起来,因为我相信观众会感觉到我是否喜欢它,所以我不会接受那些我并不真正热衷的项目。
I guess I'd like to have my cake and eat it, too. I want to be known for having a recognizable style. I believe having your own personal identity is what makes you competitive. On the other hand, I would like to be versatile and be challenged to go in new directions.
我想我也想鱼与熊掌兼得。我想让别人知道我的风格。我相信拥有自己的个性会让你更有竞争力。另一方面,我想成为一个多才多艺的人,接受挑战,走向新的方向。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
One of the tragedies of modern times is that people have come to believe that something said by someone in the past, perhaps for illustrative or provocation purposes, actually represents that person's beliefs at the time.
现代的悲剧之一是,人们开始相信某人过去说过的一些话,可能是为了说明或挑衅的目的,实际上代表了那个人当时的信仰。
I believe in marriage. I believe marriage is a really important institution, it's one of the most important institutions we have.
我相信婚姻。我认为婚姻是一个非常重要的制度,它是我们拥有的最重要的制度之一。
Believe me, if a man doesn't know death, he doesn't know life.
相信我,如果一个人不知道死亡,他就不知道生命。
The body achieves what the mind believes.
身体达到了心灵所相信的。
I really believe you were the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
我真的相信你是发生在我身上最伟大的事情。
