A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自我
Self
When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life, reminding me that I can only have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge.
当我能够抵制评判他人的诱惑时，我可以把他们看作是我生命中宽恕的老师，提醒我只有当我宽恕而不是评判时，我才能拥有内心的平静。
You know that I write slowly. This is chiefly because I am never satisfied until I have said as much as possible in a few words, and writing briefly takes far more time than writing at length.
你知道我写得很慢。这主要是因为我从不满足，直到我说了尽可能多的几个字，简短的写作需要的时间远远超过写作的长度。
If I thought that any of this was pre ordained, then it takes away any kind of incentive to struggle, or to put up with things, to reach for those impossible dreams, all those dramatic things.
如果我认为这一切都是命中注定的，那么它就剥夺了任何奋斗的动力，或者忍受一切，去追求那些不可能实现的梦想，所有那些戏剧性的事情。
Yeah, I wanted to know where they got it from, what it was all about, you know, and it seemed to strike something in me that was you know rearing it's head and I still don't know what that is.
是啊，我想知道他们从哪儿弄来的，到底是怎么回事，你知道，我突然想到，你知道，把它抬起头来，但我还是不知道那是什么。
Everybody has a world, and that world is completely hidden until we begin to inquire. As soon as we do, that entire world opens to us and yields itself. And you see how full and complex it is.
每个人都有一个世界，在我们开始探究之前，这个世界是完全隐藏的。一旦我们这样做了，整个世界就会向我们敞开大门，让自己屈服。你可以看到它是多么的完整和复杂。
Look, there is a sort of old view about class which is a very simplistic view that we have got the working class, the middle class and the upper class, I think it is more complicated than that.
听着，有一种关于阶级的旧观点，是一种非常简单的观点，我们有工人阶级，中产阶级和上层阶级，我认为情况要复杂得多。
When I got Jacob's Latter, I was nervous because I felt I wasn't allowed to fail. I felt that they were waiting for one little failure and that would prove them right and I'd be,"out of there."
当我拿到雅各布的后者时，我很紧张，因为我觉得我不能失败。我觉得他们在等待一个小小的失败，这将证明他们是对的，我就会“离开那里”。
I guess you can stay sort of true to the story; you don't have to artificially bring the character back from whatever doom you've designed for them, you can tell the story, I suppose, honestly.
我猜你可以忠于这个故事;你不需要人为地将角色从你为他们设计的厄运中拉回来，我想，你可以诚实地讲述这个故事。
What you think means more than anything else in your life. More than what you earn, more than where you live, more than your social position, and more than what anyone else may think about you.
你所想的比你生命中的任何事情都重要。比你挣的多，比你住的地方多，比你的社会地位多，比别人对你的看法多。
I am hoping this is my year to have children. I understand that I am possibly more European in my views of marriage. I am not going to say I'm not going to get married, but it's not my priority.
我希望今年我能有孩子。我知道我对婚姻的看法可能更欧洲化。我不会说我不结婚，但这不是我的首要任务。
I mean, I can get things done if I need to, but I can really be completely irresponsible and procrastinate until the very, very, very bitter end. In fact, sometimes I work better under pressure.
我的意思是，如果我需要，我可以把事情做好，但我真的可以完全不负责任，拖延到非常、非常、非常痛苦的结局。事实上，有时候我在压力下工作得更好。
I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down.
我的头脑中有些东西是别人教我的不同的——形状和想法离我如此之近——它们对我的存在和思考方式如此自然，以至于我从来没有想过要把它们放下。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
