A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自我
Self
When he asked me, with obvious self-satisfaction, what I thought of the scenario, I hardly knew how to answer. I asked if he had seen the play and was hardly surprised when he said no.
当他带着明显的自我满足问我对这个情景的看法时，我几乎不知道该如何回答。我问他是否看过那出戏，他说没有，我一点也不惊讶。
But boxing was my profession. I had to go back the second time because I was broke and I couldn't just go and get a college degree and earn it. I had too many bills, too many families.
但拳击是我的职业。我不得不回去第二次，因为我破产了，我不能只是去拿一个大学学位，然后挣到它。我有太多的账单，太多的家庭。
I'm sure you're aware, with the time it takes to put these books together, everything can suddenly start coming out at once even though I wrote anything between one and five years ago.
我相信你们都知道，随着把这些书放在一起所花的时间，所有的东西都可能突然开始同时出现，即使我在一到五年前写过任何东西。
I've got my feet firmly on the ground, I can't see life changing too much. I reckon more girls will talk to me at college and more people will look at me, but they know me for who I am.
我已经脚踏实地了，我看不出生活有太大的变化。我想会有更多的女孩在大学里和我说话，会有更多的人看着我，但她们知道我是谁。
Nobody likes to fail. I want to succeed in everything I do, which isn't much. But the things that I'm really passionate about, if I fail at those, if I'm not successful, what do I have?
没有人喜欢失败。我想在我所做的每一件事上取得成功，这并不多。但是我真正热爱的事情，如果我失败了，如果我没有成功，我还有什么?
I would do the occasional score. I thought it was the most thrilling thing. It was instant. You made the music and they played it right away to millions of people. I found it thrilling.
我偶尔会做些评分。我认为这是最令人兴奋的事情。这是即时的。你做了音乐，他们马上把它播放给数百万人听。我觉得很刺激。
No one who, like me, conjures up the most evil of those half-tamed demons that inhabit the human beast, and seeks to wrestle with them, can expect to come through the struggle unscathed.
像我这样的人，如果能在那些半驯服的恶魔中召唤出最邪恶的恶魔，并试图与之搏斗，就不可能毫发无伤地度过这场斗争。
I always work out of uncertainty but when a painting's finished it becomes a fixed idea, apparently a final statement. In time though, uncertainty returns... your thought process goes on.
我总是出于不确定性而创作，但当一幅画完成时，它就变成了一个固定的想法，显然是一个最终的陈述。但随着时间的推移，不确定性又回来了……你的思维过程还在继续。
It's a hard call, but I've no desire to live my children's lives. I think my job as a father is to protect them, to allow them a safe place to grow up and to teach them what I've learned.
这是一个艰难的决定，但我不想过我孩子们的生活。我认为作为一个父亲，我的工作就是保护他们，让他们在一个安全的地方长大，并把我所学到的教给他们。
But I really like hosting, I think it's a strength of mine. It allows me to improvise, and I love the spontaneity of that, and I think I'm funny behind the desk when interviewing someone.
但我真的很喜欢主持，我觉得这是我的强项。它让我可以即兴发挥，我喜欢这种自发性，我觉得我在面试别人的时候在桌子后面很有趣。
I couldn't kill a chicken, I couldn't kill a cow - I was a vegetarian too at that time - so I thought, well what is there that I could kill? I couldn't kill this and I couldn't kill that.
我杀不了鸡，也杀不了牛——那时候我也是个素食主义者——所以我想，我能杀什么呢?我不能杀这个也不能杀那个。
I'm an action player. I like to be aggressive. I don't like to be on the run. I like to feel like I have the fates in my hands and that through my skill or lack thereof I control my fate.
我是一名动作玩家。我喜欢积极进取。我不喜欢忙个不停。我喜欢感觉命运掌握在自己手中，通过我的技能或缺乏技能，我可以控制自己的命运。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
