A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自我
Self
A biopic would have required hiring an actor, and I always wanted to just let Bobby be Bobby. My thought was it would make it a more universal story to focus on ordinary people rather than this extraordinary man.
传记片需要雇一个演员，我一直想让鲍比演鲍比。我的想法是，把焦点放在普通人身上，而不是这个非凡的人，会让这个故事变得更加普遍。
I don't like anything that's too confining. I'm sort of a control freak, so anything that makes me feel like I'm out of control is a bit uncomfortable. But you know how it is, sometimes it's good to live a little!
我不喜欢太拘束的东西。我是个控制狂，所以任何让我觉得自己失控的事情都会让我感到不舒服。但你知道这是怎么回事，有时候活得久一点是有好处的!
Every day I shall put my papers in order and every day I shall say farewell. And the real farewell, when it comes, will only be a small outward confirmation of what has been accomplished within me from day to day.
每天我都要把文件整理好，每天我都要告别。真正的告别，当它到来的时候，只是一个小小的外在的确认，证实我每天在内心所取得的成就。
I like historical pieces. History was my favorite subject in school, it was the only subject I excelled in. I love the idea of history and the idea that we may have the opportunity to learn from our past mistakes.
我喜欢历史作品。历史是我在学校最喜欢的科目，它是我唯一擅长的科目。我喜欢历史的观念，喜欢我们有机会从过去的错误中吸取教训的观念。
Well, it's a humor strip, so my first responsibility has always been to entertain the reader... But if, in addition, I can help move readers to thought and judgment about issues that concern me, so much the better.
嗯，这是一个幽默连环画，所以我的首要职责一直是娱乐读者……但是，如果我能帮助读者对我关心的问题进行思考和判断，那就更好了。
I still have the desire to do the job of acting. It's just a matter of whether I'll be allowed to do the job of acting that remains to be seen. There are only so many brick walls that I'm willing to beat my head on.
我仍然渴望做演员的工作。这只是一个我是否被允许做的工作，表演，这还有待观察。世上只有那么多砖墙，我愿意用自己的脑袋去敲。
While I shared many of the same emotions Bill describes, in no way did my experience ever degenerate into the grimness I find in his book - I didn't have to live with Don, and I think that made a big big difference.
虽然我和比尔有着许多相同的情感，但我的经历从来没有退化到我在他的书中所看到的那种冷酷无情——我不必和唐生活在一起，我认为这造成了很大的不同。
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。
I'm a wonderful disaster. So are you. We're all a mess. We're in this culture that says take this pill and you'll be happy, go on this diet and you'll be thinner, have your teeth whitened, people will love you more.
我真是个灾难。你也是。我们都一团糟。我们所处的文化是，吃了这种药，你就会快乐，坚持这种饮食，你就会更瘦，牙齿变白，人们会更爱你。
I love what I'm doing most of the time, but it's hard work. People only see your albums in the charts. They see us at award shows and after-show parties. They don't know about your doubts, the hard work that goes in.
我喜欢我大部分时间都在做的事情，但是这是很辛苦的工作。人们只能在排行榜上看到你的专辑。他们在颁奖典礼和颁奖晚会上看到我们。他们不知道你的怀疑，不知道你的努力。
I'm very aware of my spending, but I'm not very aware of my income. There are certain times when I speak to my accountant, or something will pop up, and I'll be like 'oh' but it's not really a frontrunner in my head.
我很清楚我的开销，但我不清楚我的收入。有些时候，当我和我的会计师交谈时，或者一些事情会突然冒出来，我就会说“哦”，但在我的脑海里，它并不是一个真正的领先者。
I'm getting married because I'm in love with a girl and want to spend my life with her. You can't live your life doing what other people want you to or you'll be miserable. At some point you just have to be yourself.
我结婚是因为我爱上了一个女孩，想和她共度一生。你不能按照别人的想法生活，否则你会很痛苦。在某种程度上，你只需要做你自己。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
He does it with better grace, but I do it more natural.
他做得比较优雅，而我做得比较自然。
I'm not a good time-off person. I'm awful on holiday. It comes from having that period when I didn't work. That really was the worst bit.
我不是个擅于休息的人。我假期过得很糟糕。它来自那段我不工作的时期。那真是最糟糕的部分。
To be an ideal guest, stay at home.
要做一个理想的客人，就呆在家里吧。
Just about this time, when in imagination I was so great a warrior, I had good use in real life for more strength, as I was no longer taken to school by the nurse, but instead had myself to protect my brother, two years my junior.
就在这个时候，在想象中我是一个伟大的战士，在现实生活中，我很好地利用了更多的力量，因为我不再被护士带到学校，而是让我自己来保护我的弟弟，我的弟弟比我小两岁。
Self-preservation is the first law of nature.
自我保护是自然的第一法则。
