A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
学校
School
There was one point in high school actually when I was on the chess team, marching band, model United Nations and debate club all at the same time. And I would spend time with the computer club after school. And I had just quit pottery club, which I was in junior high, but I let that go.
高中的时候,有一段时间我同时参加了国际象棋队、军乐队、模拟联合国和辩论俱乐部。放学后我会花时间在电脑俱乐部。我刚从陶艺俱乐部退出,那是我上初中的时候,但我放弃了。
The true beloveds of this world are in their lover's eyes lilacs opening, ship lights, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favorite suit, autumn and all seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory.
世界上真正的爱人是在他们爱人的眼里,紫丁香开放了,船的灯光,学校的钟声,一片风景,回忆着的谈话,朋友,一个孩子的星期天,失去的声音,一个人最喜欢的衣服,秋天和所有的季节,记忆,是的,它是存在的泥土和水,记忆。
You only have to look at London, where almost half of all primary school children speak English as a second language, to see the challenges we now face as a country. This isn't fair to anyone: how can people build relationships with their neighbours if they can't even speak the same language?
你只需要看看伦敦,几乎一半的小学生把英语作为第二语言,就能看到我们现在作为一个国家所面临的挑战。这对任何人都不公平:如果人们连自己的邻居都不会说同一种语言,他们怎么能与之建立关系呢?
I think of it as a good opportunity to let, in particular, school kids know that this job and other interesting jobs in science and engineering are open to anyone who works hard in school and gets a good education and studies math and science. And that it's not just for a select group of people.
我认为这是一个很好的机会,特别是让学校的孩子们知道,这个工作和其他有趣的工作在科学和工程是开放的任何人谁在学校努力工作,得到良好的教育和学习数学和科学。这不仅仅是针对特定的一群人。
When I was in school, I got there on the first day and everyone had long, blonde, straight hair, and I had short, dark, curly hair. I immediately felt I didn't fit in and started growing my hair. But I've learned that I'm only happy when I am truly me and feel comfortable and confident in myself.
当我在学校的时候,我第一天到那里,每个人都有长长的,金色的,直发,而我有短的,黑色的,卷曲的头发。我立刻觉得自己不适应,开始留头发。但我明白了,只有当我真正做自己,感到舒适和自信时,我才会感到快乐。
When I play it I look out and see people hold on to each other and dance or just couples leaning into each other and kiss. And I'll go: 'You know, I could have worked hard at school and been a dentist. But I'm so glad I didn't.' Because when I look out and see that I feel like the Pied Piper of love.
当我玩的时候,我往外看,看到人们互相拥抱,跳舞,或者只是情侣互相依偎,亲吻。我会说:‘你知道,我本可以在学校努力学习,然后当一名牙医。但我很高兴我没有。“因为当我往外看的时候,我觉得自己就像爱的彩衣魔笛手。
Most of the time I liked school and got good grades. In junior high, though, I hit a stumbling block with math - I used to come home and cry because of how frustrated I was! But after a few good teachers and a lot of perseverance, I ended up loving math and even choosing it as a major when I got to college.
大部分时间我喜欢学校,取得了好成绩。然而在初中的时候,我在数学上遇到了一个绊脚石——我常常回到家哭,因为我是多么的沮丧!但是经过几位好老师的努力和不懈的努力,我最终爱上了数学,甚至在我上大学时选择了数学作为我的专业。
I went to a public high school and most of the comedy was coming from the black kids and the Asian kids and the Hispanic kids. And, the coolest kids to me where always the black kids. They were always fashion forward and they always dressed the coolest. They were always the best dancers, and just the coolest people.
我上的是一所公立高中,大部分的喜剧来自黑人孩子、亚裔孩子和西班牙裔孩子。对我来说最酷的孩子总是黑人孩子。他们总是很前卫,总是穿着最酷的衣服。他们总是最好的舞者,也是最酷的人。
KEEP EXPLORING

Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.
人类喜欢探索,这就是科学的种子。
School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.
学校把生活分成两个部分,这两个部分的长度越来越接近。与其他任何事情一样,学校教育意味着对那些在其他地方被宣布为不受欢迎的人的监护,因为一所学校是为他们而建的。
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。
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。
You know, Hobbes, some days even my rocketship underpants dont help.
你知道,霍布斯,有时候甚至连我的飞船内裤都不管用。
Science is organized common sense where many a beautiful theory was killed by an ugly fact.
科学是有组织的常识,许多美好的理论都被丑陋的事实扼杀了。
