A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自我
Self
I got a job with a law firm in Portland after a couple of years with Senator Muskie. But by then, my interest in politics had been sparked, through meeting Senator Muskie, through seeing what he did.
我在波特兰市的一家律师事务所找到了一份工作，之前我在参议员穆斯基那里工作了几年。但那时候，我对政治的兴趣已经被激发了，因为我见到了参议员穆斯基，因为我看到了他所做的一切。
I'm glad I made the decision, although the practice of law - and particularly serving as a federal judge - was a part of my life that I really enjoyed and treasured and look back on it with fondness.
我很高兴我做出了这个决定，尽管从事法律工作——尤其是作为一名联邦法官——是我生活的一部分，我真的很享受和珍视它，并满怀喜悦地回顾它。
I am involved in minor league baseball. I go around the country speaking to troubled youths, trying to help them understand that whatever path they choose, they'll need to really pay attention to it.
我参加了少年棒球联盟。我走遍全国，与那些有问题的年轻人交谈，试图帮助他们理解，无论他们选择哪条道路，他们都需要真正关注它。
I don't think Capote loved Smith. But he did make a deep connection. It upset some people, because that had never been the approach to journalistic crime writing, to look into the mind of the killer.
我不认为卡波特爱史密斯。但他确实建立了很深的联系。这让一些人感到不安，因为这从来就不是新闻犯罪写作的方法，去探究凶手的内心。
And there is a time where you can be beyond yourself. You can be better than your technique. You can be better than most of your usual ideas. And this is a whole other category that you can get into.
有一段时间你可以超越自己。你可以比你的技术更好。你可以比你通常的想法做得更好。这是你可以进入的另一个类别。
That's where it begins and ends for me and these songs were the ones that touched me the deepest. It was like I was laying hold of some part of me that I didn't even know was there until I let it out.
对我来说，这是开始和结束的地方，而这些歌曲是最打动我的。就好像我抓住了自己的某个部分，直到我把它释放出来，我才知道它就在那里。
The real question is: How do you react? What do you do next? Evade responsibilities? Bury yourself in work? What do you do? All three of my novels take up that question, although none gives an answer.
真正的问题是:你如何反应?接下来你要做什么?逃避责任?埋头工作?你是做什么的?我的三部小说都回答了这个问题，尽管没有一部给出答案。
I really like being pregnant. Not that there aren't things I don't love, but when I think about what my body is doing - creating a child - it just blows my mind. I'm in awe of the process and science.
我真的很喜欢怀孕。并不是说我没有不喜欢的东西，而是当我想到我的身体在做什么——创造一个孩子——它就会让我大吃一惊。我对这个过程和科学感到敬畏。
I will always want to do whatever it is that my heart is in, and whether I get paid for it or not means nothing. It doesn't matter. I'll do it if it means something to me and I want to be a part of it.
我将永远想做我内心深处想做的事情，无论我是否得到报酬，都没有任何意义。没关系。如果它对我有意义并且我想成为它的一部分，我就会去做。
Shooting a television show can be very difficult and at times can really wear on you. If you keep reminding yourself that it is a job and you show up together as a team and as a whole, you can prevail.
拍摄电视节目是非常困难的，有时真的会让你疲惫不堪。如果你不断提醒自己这是一项工作，并且作为一个团队和整体一起出现，你就能获胜。
The joint lubrication was not what it was when I was competing, and I decided that not having arthritis or rheumatism for the rest of my life was a lot more important to me than returning to the track.
关节润滑不再是我参加比赛时的样子，我决定我的余生不再患关节炎或风湿病，这对我来说比回到跑道上重要得多。
I had the idea for the show like a year and a half, two years ago. And it was all about the things that I didn't like about TV. I was trying to create a positive solution for it. And it actually worked.
大概一年半前，也就是两年前，我有了这个节目的想法。这都是关于我不喜欢电视的地方。我试图为它创造一个积极的解决方案。它确实起作用了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

我结婚的时候，就不是什么秘密了。
I write and rewrite and rewrite and write and like to turn in what I think is finished work.
我写啊，写啊，写啊，写啊，喜欢把我认为已经完成的东西交上来。
I am not here to serve myself. I am not here to be lauded, petted, admired or ‘affirmed.’ I am here to build men, cultures and kingdoms.
我不是来为自己服务的。我在这里不是为了被赞美、爱抚、钦佩或肯定。“我来这里是为了建设人类、文化和王国。
This above all; to thine own self be true.
这最重要的是;对自己要真诚。
