Right
After I changed the string we picked up right where we left off - and punched back in at the same time. I don't know if this has ever been done before. The engineer sort of looked at us weird, but we got it on the first take.
在我改变了字符串之后,我们从停止的地方重新开始——同时又重新打孔。我不知道以前是否有人这么做过。工程师有点奇怪地看着我们,但我们第一次拍的时候就明白了。
Men speak of natural rights, but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws.
人们谈到自然权利,但我要求任何人指出,在为他们的宣言和保护建立一个适当颁布的相应法律机构之前,在自然界中是否存在或承认任何权利。
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
智慧是知识的正确运用。知道并不等于明智。许多人懂得很多,却都是大傻瓜。再大的傻瓜也比不上有知识的傻瓜。但知道如何运用知识就是拥有智慧。
I think it's like, you know, you can't get ahead of yourself, because no amount of success or exposure or opportunity is going to really matter or be ultimately fulfilling unless you can be totally present in what you're doing right now.
我认为这就像,你知道,你不能超越自己,因为没有多少的成功,曝光或机会是真正重要的,或最终实现,除非你能完全在你现在做的事情。
But I think I have done right to save the vision in this way, even though I may die sooner because I did it; for I know the meaning of the vision is wise and beautiful and good; and you can see that I am only a pitiful old man after all.
但我想,我这样拯救这异象是对的,虽然我可能因为这样做而死得更早;因为我知道这异象的意义是智慧、美好、美好。你可以看到,我毕竟只是一个可怜的老人。
I can't be bothered to go to the gym, though. I honestly just can't be bothered - it's the most boring thing on Earth. I have tried and every six months I go 'right, I'm going to the gym'. Then I do it for two weeks and get so bored by it.
不过,我懒得去健身房。老实说,我就是受不了——这是世界上最无聊的事情。我试过了,每六个月我就去一次“对,我要去健身房”。然后我做了两个星期,感到很无聊。
Suffrage, noun. Expression of opinion by means of a ballot. The right of suffrage (which is held to be both a privilege and a duty) means, as commonly interpreted, the right to vote for the man of another man's choice, and is highly prized.
选举权,名词。通过投票表达意见。选举权(被认为是一种特权和一种义务)意味着,正如人们通常理解的那样,投票给另一个人的选择的权利,并受到高度重视。
I think we're doing the right things for the right reasons. We're not doing it to sell products. We're not doing it to be popular. We're doing it because in our judgment these stories are important to do, and at this length and this much depth.
我认为我们做正确的事情是有正确的理由的。我们这样做不是为了销售产品。我们这样做不是为了受欢迎。我们这么做是因为在我们的判断中,这些故事很重要,而且有这么长这么深。
Yeah, we shot ourselves in the foot right out of the gate. The guy who ran it at first misled pretty much everybody about how much capital we had. He said we had enough to go three years without making money, and we had enough to go three weeks.
是啊,我们一出校门就搬起石头砸了自己的脚。一开始经营这家公司的人在我们有多少资本的问题上误导了几乎所有人。他说我们有足够的钱过三年不赚钱的日子,也有足够的钱过三个星期。
There can be no assumption that today's majority is "right" and the Amish and others like them are "wrong." A way of life that is odd or even erratic but interferes with no rights or interests of others is not to be condemned because it is different.
不能假设今天的大多数人是“正确的”,而阿米什人和其他类似的人是“错误的”。一种奇怪甚至不稳定但不干涉他人权益的生活方式不应因其不同而受到谴责。
What I try to do probably doesn't come out. What I've worked out what I do - I might not be right - is to do something very personal, and then suddenly I look at it, up in the air. I blow it up and look at it and then I come down again - a better man.
我想做的可能不会成功。我所做的——我可能不对——是做一些非常私人的事情,然后我突然看着它,在空中。我把它吹大,看着它,然后我又下来了——一个更好的男人。
All men have an equal right to the free development of their faculties; they have an equal right to the impartial protection of the state; but it is not true, it is against all the laws of reason and equity, it is against the eternal nature of things.
所有人都有平等的权利自由发展自己的才能;他们有平等的权利得到国家的公正保护;但这不是真的,它违背了所有理性和公平的法则,它违背了事物永恒的本性。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
What's a man's first duty? The answer is brief: To be himself.
一个人的首要职责是什么?答案很简单:做他自己。
The struggle for existence holds as much in the intellectual as in the physical world. A theory is a species of thinking, and its right to exist is coextensive with its power of resisting extinction by its rivals.
生存的斗争不仅存在于物质世界,也存在于精神世界。理论是一种思维,它的生存权与它抵抗竞争对手灭绝的能力是相辅相成的。
It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are.
满足于我们所拥有的是正确的,而不是满足于我们现在所拥有的。
If you're cast right you can actually just let yourself go because all your gestures will be right, all your intonations will be right because you just somewhere understand who this person is.
如果你选对了演员,你就可以放开自己,因为你所有的手势和语调都是对的,因为你知道这个人是谁。
I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.
无论我做什么或说什么,我都没有权利在一个人的眼里贬低他。重要的不是我对他的看法;这是他对自己的看法。破坏一个人的自尊是一种罪过。
