A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
信任
Believe
I used to believe, like many people who come from poor backgrounds, that it gave me an edge, but I think that's just something we have to tell ourselves to get by sometimes. I don't believe that anymore. Children of privilege can be just as talented and clever as anybody else.
我曾经相信，就像许多来自贫困家庭的人一样，这给了我一种优势，但我认为这只是我们有时必须告诉自己的事情。我再也不相信了。特权阶层的孩子也可以和其他人一样有才华和聪明。
What I always meant by that was that I do believe that a lot of directors, and writers, and sometimes producers just lose their edge because they haven't seen anybody or talked to anybody or been with anybody who isn't a kind of replica of themselves for a long period of time.
我总是什么意思是,我相信很多导演,作家,有时生产商就失去优势,因为他们没见过任何人或任何人或与人交谈不是一种复制自己在很长一段时间。
Having a persona people recognize, it's the thing that probably gets you paid the most - but it's also the thing that virtually every actor in the world doesn't want. 'Cause, like, no one would believe me if I wanted to play something ultra-realistic, like a gangster or something.
拥有一个人们认可的角色，可能是你得到报酬最多的一件事——但也是世界上几乎每个演员都不想要的一件事。因为，如果我想演一些超写实的角色，比如强盗什么的，没人会相信我。
I definitely believe that you are drawn to certain things for inexplicable reasons, but in a very powerful way. I don't know what it is exactly, but I know that things happen kind of miraculously sometimes, and so I'm willing to believe that there's something pretty magical out there.
我绝对相信，你被某些事物所吸引是出于某些无法解释的原因，但却是以一种非常强大的方式。我不知道它到底是什么，但我知道事情有时会奇迹般地发生，所以我愿意相信外面有一些非常神奇的东西。
The way I write my songs is that I have to believe what I'm writing about, and that's why they always end up being so personal - because the kind of artists I like, they convince me, they totally win me over straight away in that thing. Like, 'Oh my God, this song is totally about me.'
我写歌的方式是，我必须相信我所写的东西，这就是为什么我写的歌总是那么个人化的原因——因为我喜欢的那种艺术家，他们让我信服，他们完全在那件事上赢得了我。比如，‘天哪，这首歌完全是关于我的。’
Well, any time I'm preparing for a performance or even a rehearsal, it's as if in a way, like any other athletes, these are muscles that support the vocal cords which are just I believe cartilage. It demands a kind of constant warming up and a constant feeling of where is the voice today.
嗯，任何时候我准备表演或者排练的时候，就好像在某种程度上，就像其他运动员一样，这些肌肉支撑着声带，我认为是软骨。它需要一种持续的热身，以及对今天的声音在哪里的持续感觉。
Candidates don't have to deal with reality. They talk about the wonderful things they can accomplish as if advocating them is the same as achieving them. They live in a world of political make-believe in which everything from reconciling conflicting interests to paying for costly programs is easy.
候选人不必面对现实。他们谈论他们能完成的美妙的事情，好像提倡它们和实现它们是一样的。他们生活在一个政治虚幻的世界里，从调和利益冲突到为昂贵的项目买单，一切都很容易。
We're taught Lord Acton's axiom: all power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I believed that when I started these books, but I don't believe it's always true any more. Power doesn't always corrupt. Power can cleanse. What I believe is always true about power is that power always reveals.
我们学过阿克顿勋爵的格言:所有的权力都腐败，绝对的权力绝对腐败。当我开始写这些书的时候，我相信这一点，但现在我不再相信这一点了。权力并不总是腐败的。权力可以净化。我相信关于权力总是正确的是权力总是揭示。
In journalism just one fact that is false prejudices the entire work. In contrast, in fiction one single fact that is true gives legitimacy to the entire work. That's the only difference, and it lies in the commitment of the writer. A novelist can do anything he wants so long as he makes people believe in it.
在新闻界，只有一个事实是错误的偏见，整个工作。相反，在小说中，只有一个事实是真实的，这就赋予了整部作品合法性。这是唯一的区别，它在于作者的承诺。小说家能做任何他想做的事，只要他能使人们相信它。
For me, everything is still possible and I am as determined as ever. I believe first that the project of a people does not die. It is the project of freedom for a people, it is a project of sovereignty. And since the nation exists, it has the right to its own state. I will work to advance it in that direction.
对我来说，一切都是可能的，我和以前一样坚定。我首先相信，一个民族的工程是不死的。这是一项人民自由的工程，是一项主权的工程。既然这个国家存在，它就有权拥有自己的国家。我将努力朝这个方向推进。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
That's why I survived because I still believe I've got something to say.
这就是我活下来的原因，因为我仍然相信我还有话要说。
I just believe that the interesting time in a career is pre-success, what shaped things, how did you get to this point.
我只是认为，职业生涯中最有趣的时刻是成功之前，是什么塑造了你，你是如何走到这一步的。
I believe that national sovereignties will shrink in the face of universal interdependence.
我相信，面对普遍的相互依赖，国家主权将会萎缩。
Ah, great it is to believe the dream as we stand in youth by the starry stream; but a greater thing is to fight life through and say at the end, the dream is true!
啊，当我们年轻时站在星河边，相信梦想是多么伟大;但更重要的是与生活抗争到底，并在最后说，梦想成真!
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。
