A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
学校
School
To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of the population.
对于这一类人,我们可以把它留给改进本国的方言,用借用西方命名法的科学术语来丰富这些方言,并使它们逐渐成为向广大人民传播知识的工具。
I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know, I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place.
我是个彻头彻尾的教育怪胎。我喜欢学校。我爱学习。我喜欢做作业。我高中时所有的书和笔记本都有下划线和高亮显示,页边空白处都有笔记。你知道,我也是个戏剧迷。我到处都是。
We draft mostly high school kids and we have one of the finest, if not the finest, player development programs and coaching staffs and we teach our players the right way to play. We also have a game plan in scouting, and there are certain types of players that we look for.
我们的球员大多是高中生,我们有最好的球员发展项目和教练团队,我们教我们的球员正确的打球方式。我们在球探方面也有自己的比赛计划,我们会寻找一些特定类型的球员。
There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.
总有一天,科学的头脑中会涌现出一种机器或一种力量,它的潜力是那么可怕,那么绝对可怕,甚至连敢于用酷刑和死亡来制造酷刑和死亡的战士,也会感到震惊,从而永远放弃战争。
I wasn't really geeky. In terms of the high school hierarchy, I was very much in the middle ground. You have the really popular guys, you have the nerdy guys, and then you have the people who really don't care - and that was me. I wasn't really picked on or anything like that.
我并不是很怪。在高中的等级制度方面,我是非常中立的。有些人很受欢迎,有些人很书呆子气,还有一些人根本不在乎——那就是我。我并不是真的被挑出来的。
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
我不知道我似乎世界,但我对自己似乎一直只是一个在海边嬉戏的孩子,并将自己在现在,然后找到一个光滑的鹅卵石或一个漂亮的外壳比普通,而在我面前的伟大的真理的海洋熟视无睹。
When people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together.
当人们认为地球是平的时候,他们错了。当人们认为地球是球形的时候,他们错了。但是,如果你认为认为地球是球形和认为地球是扁平一样错误,那么你的观点就比这两种观点加起来还要错误。
The last thing I want my child to see is Dad running around in the middle of the pack. That would really upset me. And that would upset him. I would be embarrassed to take him to school with kids saying, 'Hey, how'd your dad do this weekend?' 'Well, he finished fifth or sixth'.
我最不希望我的孩子看到的就是爸爸在人群中跑来跑去。那可真让我心烦。这会让他心烦意乱。如果我带他去学校,孩子们会说,‘嘿,你爸爸这个周末过得怎么样?“嗯,他得了第五或第六名。”
Whether one sees the world as God's creation or as a secular mystery that science is on the way to figuring out, there is no denying the beauty and majesty of everything from mountain ranges, deserts, and rain forests to the exquisite details in the design of an ordinary mosquito.
无论一个人把世界看作是上帝的创造,还是科学正在探索的一个世俗的谜,从山脉、沙漠、雨林到普通蚊子设计的精美细节,一切都是美丽和威严的,这是不可否认的。
I had these fangs because I had jaundice when I was a kid and I was put on so many antibiotics that my teeth rotted. They had to cut them out. So I never had milk teeth. That was tough, you know, being in school having photos taken while I was pretending I had teeth. It was hideous.
我有这些尖牙是因为我小时候患了黄疸,吃了太多抗生素,牙齿都烂了。他们不得不把它们剪掉。所以我从来没有乳牙。你知道,当我在学校里假装自己有牙齿的时候拍照,那是很难受的。这是可怕的。
We had to be down early to get the best stuff for the pros we looked after and then get the rags that we were left ourselves for training. It seems very old school but it grounded me as a person and made me appreciate everything as a footballer, because all we got was a pair of boots.
为了给我们所照顾的职业球员买到最好的东西,我们不得不早早地下山,然后把剩下的衣服拿去训练。这看起来很老套,但它让我作为一个人脚踏实地,让我欣赏作为一个足球运动员的一切,因为我们得到的只是一双靴子。
I loved to make people laugh in high school, and then I found I loved being on stage in front of people. I'm sure that's some kind of ego trip or a way to overcome shyness. I was very kind of shy and reserved, so there's a way to be on stage and be performing and balance your life out.
我喜欢在高中的时候逗别人笑,然后我发现我喜欢站在舞台上面对人们。我相信这是某种自我意识的旅行或者是克服害羞的一种方式。我很害羞,很矜持,所以有一种方法可以在舞台上表演,平衡你的生活。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
After that I jumped, especially being in art school, to the illustrators.
在那之后,我跳到了插画师那里,尤其是在艺术学校。
To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.
提出新的问题,新的可能性,从新的角度看待老问题,需要创造性的想象力,标志着科学的真正进步。
A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.
只在学校受教育的孩子是未受教育的孩子。
Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.
当我不知道自己在做什么的时候,我就在做研究。
Corporate governance is a huge issue too. We don't have women on these corporate boards. More than half of the students in law school are women, more than half of the women, I think, in medical school now are women.
公司治理也是一个大问题。我们的公司董事会中没有女性。法学院超过一半的学生是女性,我想,现在医学院超过一半的学生是女性。
My dad always used to tell me that if they challenge you to an after-school fight, tell them you won't wait-you can kick their ass right now.
我爸爸总是告诉我,如果他们向你提出放学后打架的挑战,告诉他们你不会等的——你现在就可以揍他们。
