A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
似乎
Seems
Never the less, it is no light thing to enter into a profession absolutely foreign and alien to the people among which one's lot is cast; a profession which seems as dim and faraway and unreal as the shores of Europe.
然而,从事一种与自己命运攸关的人民完全陌生的职业并不是一件轻松的事;这个职业就像欧洲海岸一样模糊、遥远、虚幻。
Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared.
我们的政治现在看起来如此艰难,而事实、科学和争论似乎并没有一直获胜,部分原因在于我们天生就不会在害怕的时候总是清晰地思考。
All the fascination of King Solomon's Mines seems to be behind those great mountains and this I may add is a bit of advance work for mother, an entering wedge to my disappearing from sight for years and years in the Congo.
所罗门国王的矿山的魅力似乎就在那些大山的后面,我想补充一点,这对母亲来说是一种超前的工作,是我在刚果多年不见踪影的一个楔子。
I have to confess that I have so rarely experienced triumph that I cannot claim to know it well enough to judge, but it seems to be at best a momentary joy followed instantly by sadness, and, then, of necessity, by wariness.
我必须承认,我很少经历过胜利,因此我不能说我很清楚地知道胜利的意义,但它充其量不过是短暂的快乐之后紧接着是悲伤,然后必然是警惕。
Whenever somebody folds, say, 'Good laydown.' It encourages them to fold on a later hand because it makes them feel like you had the best hand even if you were bluffing. It's an odd form of flattery that seems to work at the poker table.
无论什么时候有人折叠,你都要说,‘很好。这鼓励他们在稍后的时候再折叠,因为这会让他们觉得即使你在虚张声势,你的手也是最棒的。这是一种奇怪的恭维形式,似乎在牌桌上起作用。
I am amused by cricket because it seems to take longer than baseball and I like that. It seems like a sport I could have made up it - it takes several days to play and everyone wears sweaters. I can't confess to knowing what's going on at all.
我对板球很感兴趣,因为它似乎比棒球耗时更长,我喜欢这样。这似乎是一项我可以编出来的运动——它需要几天的时间来玩,而且每个人都穿毛衣。我不能承认我完全知道发生了什么事。
Other men wear white suits in summer and it doesn't seem to bother them. But my white suit seems to be a little whiter than theirs. I think also that it may have something written on the back of it, although I can't find it when I take the suit off.
其他男性在夏天穿白色西装,这似乎并不会影响他们。但是我的白色西装似乎比他们的要白一些。我还想它的背面可能写着什么,虽然我脱下西装找不到。
By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.
通过阅读圣经,我是如此的新生,所有的自然似乎在我周围和我更新。天空似乎一片纯净,一片湛蓝,树木一片翠绿。整个世界充满了上帝的荣耀,我感到脚下有火焰和音乐。
Death used to announce itself in the thick of life but now people drag on so long it sometimes seems that we are reaching the stage when we may have to announce ourselves to death. It is as though one needs a special strength to die, and not a final weakness.
死亡过去常常在生命的壮年宣布它自己,但现在人们拖得太久了,有时我们似乎到了不得不宣布死亡的时候。就好像一个人死的时候需要一种特殊的力量,而不是最终的弱点。
I'm sure the feeling of fear, as long as you can take advantage of it and not be rendered useless by it, can make you extend yourself beyond what you would regard as your capacity. If you're afraid, the blood seems to flow freely through the veins, and you really do feel a sense of stimulation.
我敢肯定,恐惧的感觉,只要你能利用它,而不是让它变得无用,可以让你超越你认为自己的能力。如果你感到害怕,血液似乎会在血管中自由流动,你真的会感到一种刺激。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
But to me what seems to be missing in a lot of portfolios is Cartooning.
但在我看来,许多投资组合中似乎缺少的是卡通化。
I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.
我越来越尊重事实,越来越不尊重理论。在我看来,事实是一件伟大的事情;一个句子,如果不是上帝印的,那么至少是魔鬼印的。
There seems to be more comedy for comedy's sake.
似乎有更多的喜剧是为了喜剧而喜剧。
No one can appropriate God, goodness, the Bible or Jesus. It just seems that way.
没有人能盗用神、良善、圣经或耶稣。似乎就是这样。
I love to create interesting textures with language. You can do it as long as it seems like a discovery.
我喜欢用语言创造有趣的纹理。只要看起来像是一个发现,你就能做到。
As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way.
只要一个人坚持走自己的路,一切似乎都在他的路上。
