A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
学校
School
When I was in school, I was very involved with a lot of things. I was very very active. I couldn't say that I wasn't popular. I was a cheerleader when I was in junior high. I didn't make it in high school so I started a dance line.
当我在学校的时候，我参与了很多事情。我非常非常活跃。我不能说我不受欢迎。我初中的时候是啦啦队长。我在高中没能成功，所以我开始跳舞。
Most of the stuff I learned to play, I learned in high school. I had a band in high school, a jazz-fusion thing, and I was the keyboard player. I was interested in how the instruments worked and the theory behind playing with them.
我学的大部分东西都是在高中学的。我在高中的时候有一个乐队，一个爵士融合的东西，我是一个键盘手。我对这些乐器的工作原理和演奏原理很感兴趣。
Brain power improves by brain use, just as our bodily strength grows with exercise. And there is no doubt that a large proportion of the female population, from school days to late middle age, now have very complicated lives indeed.
脑力通过大脑的使用而提高，就像我们的身体力量随着锻炼而增长一样。毫无疑问，从上学到中年晚期，很大一部分女性的生活确实非常复杂。
Being at school, being who I am, being an athlete, it was hard to find people like me. There's not many athletes that can be at my level. That was kind of hard finding people who love something so much they want to keep on doing it.
在学校，做我自己，做一名运动员，很难找到像我这样的人。没有多少运动员能达到我的水平。要找到如此热爱某件事并想要继续做下去的人有点难。
I drop my kid off at school and then race home, and it's a very limited time. I can only do really serious writing for a couple of hours. And then I always go on a walk, I do a one-to-two-hour walk; I don't go running or hard hiking.
我把孩子送到学校，然后跑回家，时间非常有限。我只能认真写作几个小时。然后我总是去散步，走一到两个小时;我不跑步也不远足。
Once in high school, I completely over plucked my left eyebrow all the way up to where you're not supposed to. I had no idea what I was doing and it looked terrible! My mom was like "What did you do to yourself?" I was so embarrassed.
上高中的时候，我整了整左眉一直到你不应该去的地方。我不知道我在做什么，而且看起来很糟糕!我妈妈说"你对自己做了什么?"我很尴尬。
My dad had this philosophy that if you tell children they're beautiful and wonderful then they believe it, and they will be. So I never thought I was unattractive. But I was never one of the girls at school who had lots of boyfriends.
我父亲的人生哲学是，如果你告诉孩子们他们很漂亮，很了不起，他们就会相信，而且一定会相信。所以我从不认为自己没有吸引力。但我从来都不是学校里有很多男朋友的女生。
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
历史上最惨痛的教训之一是:如果我们被愚弄的时间足够长，我们往往会拒绝任何有关这种欺骗的证据。竹竿把我们捉住了。一旦你让一个骗子控制了你，你几乎永远不会再得到它。
When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misunderstanding of current, rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it won't one day, from some perspective, appear prophetic.
当一个科学家走在时代的前面，往往是由于对当前的误解，而不是对未来真理的直觉。在科学领域，从来没有任何错误如此严重，以至于有一天，从某种角度来看，它不会显得具有预言性。
Quite a few, actually, are involved in education. They have had the same experience Hanna and I had: when they started having their own kids, they didn't want them to have a poor educational experience; they wanted them to enjoy school.
事实上，相当一部分人参与了教育。汉娜和我也有同样的经历:当他们开始有自己的孩子时，他们不想让孩子有糟糕的教育经历;他们想让孩子们享受学校生活。
Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws - a thing which can never be demonstrated.
科学有时被说成是与信仰对立的，而且与信仰不一致。但事实上，所有的科学都建立在信仰的基础上，因为它假定自然规律的持久性和统一性——这是永远无法证明的。
My senior year of high school, when I was getting recruited for college, my dad goes to me, 'You can become an Olympic champion.' And that's the first time that I'd heard someone else say that to me. I was like, 'Uh, are you talking to me?'
在我高中的最后一年，当我被大学录取时，我爸爸对我说，‘你可以成为奥运会冠军。“这是我第一次听到别人这么对我说。我说，‘你在跟我说话吗?’

沿着这个主题，再读几句。
If I wasn't doing this, I'd be in school studying political science or socioeconomic something. I love visiting different cultures and finding out how they make up a society.
如果我不这样做，我就会在学校里学习政治学或社会经济学之类的东西。我喜欢参观不同的文化，了解他们是如何组成一个社会的。
Nothing in the universe can travel at the speed of light, they say, forgetful of the shadow's speed.
他们说，宇宙中没有任何东西能以光速旅行，他们忘记了影子的速度。
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
科学是事实;正如房子是石头做的一样，科学也是由事实组成的;但是一堆石头并不是一座房子，收集的事实也不一定是科学。
The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But I've had to learn a little bit about it. It's not rocket science: You get ratings, that's good.
无线电业务中我最不感兴趣的是无线电业务。但是我已经学了一点。这不是火箭科学:你得到评级，这很好。
Our parents were very strict. Not in a brutal or awful way, but there were definite rules, such as after six on a school night you didn't go out, and at weekends you had to be home by a certain time. It wasn't particularly sheltered, but we were well brought-up.
我们的父母非常严格。不是以一种残忍或可怕的方式，而是有明确的规则，比如在学校晚上六点以后你不出去，周末你必须在某个时间回家。这里没有特别的庇护，但我们都是受过良好教育的。
In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.
首先，上帝创造了傻瓜。那是练习。然后他制作了校董会。
