A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自我
Self
I was terribly shy when I was growing up, I really wasn't confident with other people and I think I was always afraid of up or not being this very cool, amazing person that I wanted to be.
在我成长的过程中,我非常害羞,我对别人真的不自信,我想我总是害怕起来,或者不是我想成为的那种很酷、很了不起的人。
You would hardly believe how difficult it is to place a figure alone on a canvas, and to concentrate all the interest on this single and universal figure and still keep it living and real.
你几乎不会相信,把一个人单独放在画布上,把所有的兴趣都集中在这个单一的、普遍的人物身上,同时又保持它的鲜活和真实,是多么困难。
The friends whom I have are invaluable, and although not numerous they are sufficient for my enjoyment; and the texture of my own mind renders me very indifferent to the rest of the world.
我所拥有的朋友是无价之宝,虽然不多,但足以使我快乐;我自己的思想结构使我对世界的其余部分漠不关心。
I go to Prague every year if I can, value my relationships there like gold, and feel myself in a sense Czech, with all their hopes and needs. They are a people I not only love, but admire.
如果可能的话,我每年都会去布拉格,珍惜我在那里的人际关系,从某种意义上说,我觉得自己是捷克人,拥有他们所有的希望和需求。他们是一个我不仅爱,而且钦佩的民族。
In a sacred ground like marriage, you find yourself out of it at certain times for reasons unknown that can be destructive. There could be a demon that kind of comes out and overtakes you.
在像婚姻这样神圣的地方,你会发现自己在某些时候会因为未知的原因而远离它,这可能是毁灭性的。可能会有一个恶魔出来,控制你。
The polls indicated that I was feisty, that I was tough, that I had a sense of humor, but they weren't quite sure if they liked me and they didn't know whether or not that I was sensitive.
民意调查显示我很活跃,我很坚强,我有幽默感,但是他们不确定他们是否喜欢我,他们不知道我是否敏感。
Conducting, I tried it once off the cuff, and quickly realized there were subtle aspects that I was missing. There is a lot more to it that I was able to grasp simply by watching conductors.
指挥方面,我曾经即兴试过一次,很快就意识到我遗漏了一些微妙的方面。其中有很多东西是我通过观察指挥家就能掌握的。
I just saw the emotion in everything, so I got to feel everything that was going on and that I was viewing, but I couldn't think in terms of structure, which is the whole point of deep focus.
我只是在每件事上都看到了情感,所以我能感觉到正在发生的每件事,我看到的每件事,但我不能从结构的角度来思考,这就是深度专注的全部意义。
I don't think I would have been a writer if I hadn't been a mother. I wanted to construct something that contained some of these feelings that I had, some of these discoveries or revelations.
如果我没有做母亲,我想我不会成为一名作家。我想构建一些包含我的一些感受的东西,一些发现或启示。
I start to think there really is no cure for depression, that happiness is an ongoing battle, and I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it's worth it.
我开始认为真的没有治愈抑郁症的方法,幸福是一场持续不断的战斗,我想知道,如果不是这样,我将不得不为之奋斗终生。我不知道是否值得。
My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty... it is worse executed by two persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein.
我的观察是,只要有一个人被发现能胜任某项工作,……两个人做的效果更差,如果三个或更多的人同时做的话,效果就更差了。
When I edit, I'm not from the school of Hello, I'm a genius, so everybody shut up. I'm from the school of Let's play it once in front of an audience, and then I'll tell you where it is going.
当我编辑的时候,我不是来自学校的你好,我是个天才,所以大家都闭嘴。我来自“让我们在观众面前表演一次”的学校,然后我会告诉你们它的走向。

I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else - I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.
我不能带你去打仗。我不给你们制定法律,也不主持正义,但我可以做些别的事情——我可以把我的心和我的奉献给这些古老的岛屿和我们各国人民的兄弟情谊。
