A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自我
Self
The combination of pictures and words together can be really effective, and I began to realise in my career that unless I wrote my own words, then my message was diluted.
把图片和文字结合起来真的很有效,我开始意识到,在我的职业生涯中,除非我自己写文字,否则我的信息就会被稀释。
I find it both fascinating and disconcerting when I discover yet another person who believes that writing can't be taught. Frankly, I don't understand this point of view.
当我又发现另一个人认为写作是不能教的时候,我觉得既迷人又不安。坦白地说,我不理解这个观点。
If someone is being absolutely critical of me as a driver, what could they say? I am also critical of myself to try and keep things in perspective. That is very important.
如果有人对我这个司机非常挑剔,他们会怎么说?我对自己也很挑剔,试图正确看待事情。这非常重要。
I do talk less now because the sound of my voice saying over and over the things I said years ago embarrasses and depresses me. Why do I say the same things over and over?
我现在确实少说话了,因为我的声音一遍又一遍地重复着我多年前说过的话,这让我感到尴尬和沮丧。为什么我一遍又一遍地说同样的话?
Well, I started thinking about what you were saying about how your movies need to make a profit. Now, what is the one thing, if you put it in a movie, it'll be successful?
我开始思考你刚才说你的电影需要如何盈利。有一件事,如果你把它拍成电影,会成功吗?
Well, I needed the work - that's the honest answer. I haven't worked for a while, a couple of years. So I thought it would be nice to get back to work and earn some money.
嗯,我需要这份工作——这是最诚实的回答。我有好几年没工作了。所以我想回去工作挣点钱会很好。
First, make yourself a reputation for being a creative genius. Second, surround yourself with partners who are better than you are. Third, leave them to go get on with it.
首先,让自己成为一个有创造力的天才。第二,和比你优秀的伴侣在一起。第三,让他们自己去做。
I would say this in terms of my career, that my career provided me with everything that I wanted, and I think a man is fortunate if he can say that at the end of his life.
就我的职业而言,我想说的是,我的职业为我提供了我想要的一切,我认为一个人如果能在他生命的尽头说这些话,那他就是幸运的。
I think all kids need snacks. Mine are fruit machines. I give them things like apple slices, berries and melon. Do I let them eat ice cream? Absolutely. But not every day.
我想所有的孩子都需要零食。我的是水果机。我给他们苹果片,浆果和甜瓜。我让他们吃冰淇淋吗?绝对的。但不是每天都这样。
The way it works: The orchestra plays a few selections of its own and I terminate the first part of the programme on piano, usually with a movement from a Mozart concerto.
工作方式:管弦乐队演奏一些自己的选段,我以钢琴结束节目的第一部分,通常是莫扎特协奏曲的一个乐章。
Well I guess I like variety pretty much, but I do enjoy this work very much. Particularly with Buddy on the gig, we get a chance to knock each other out It'just wonderful.
我想我非常喜欢变化,但是我非常喜欢这份工作。特别是有巴迪在现场,我们有机会互相打击,这真是太棒了。
I don't want any more vicissitudes, I don't want any more of this try, try again stuff. I just want out. I've had it. I am so tired. I am twenty and I am already exhausted.
我不想再经历更多的沧桑,我不想再这样尝试,再尝试。我只想出去。我受够了。我太累了。我二十岁了,已经很累了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
与我们的内心相比,我们的过去和未来都是微不足道的。
I had a very difficult childhood. I was surrounded by people who had both parents, which made me feel different. Having a bit of a rougher existence early on, it made me appreciate the work ethic that my grandparents instilled in me.
我有一个非常困难的童年。我周围的人都有父母,这让我感觉不一样。早年的生活比较艰苦,这让我懂得了祖父母灌输给我的职业道德。
It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.
这是一种奇特的感觉,一种双重意识,一种总是通过别人的眼睛来审视自己的感觉,一种用一根带子来衡量自己的灵魂的感觉,而这个带子上的世界却以一种嘲弄的轻蔑和怜悯的眼光看着我们。
For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can.
很长一段时间以来,我一直试图尽我所能写出最好的作品。有时候我运气好,写得比我能写的更好。
I'm a self-taught musician aside from what I've been able to pick up from other players.
我是个自学成才的音乐家,除了能从其他演奏者那里学到东西外。
Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.
只有我能改变我的生活。没有人能为我做这件事。
