A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自我
Self
Well when I was young, when I was very young, when I was a little boy I don't remember the music I heard, but there was an article in the Brooklyn Daily written by my Aunt about how I could choose phonograph records.
嗯,当我年轻的时候,当我非常年轻的时候,当我还是个小男孩的时候,我不记得我听过的音乐,但是我阿姨在布鲁克林日报上写了一篇关于我如何选择留声机唱片的文章。
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。
I'm a fairly ascetic person. And I do most of my writing at night. You don't get distracted, your brain goes into what you are writing about, into the world you're writing about, rather than into the world you're in.
我是个相当苦行的人。我大部分的写作都是在晚上。你不会分心,你的大脑会进入你所写的东西,进入你所写的世界,而不是你所处的世界。
My success and my misfortunes, the bright and the dark days I have gone through, everything has proved to me that in this world, either physical or moral, good comes out of evil just as well as evil comes out of good.
我的成功和不幸,我所经历的光明和黑暗的日子,所有的一切都向我证明,在这个世界上,无论是物质上还是精神上,善来自恶,正如恶来自善一样。
I think it's my job to risk looking foolish. One of the things I've learned from the actors I've worked with is you don't get something for nothing. If you don't risk looking foolish, you'll never do anything special.
我觉得我的工作就是冒着看起来很傻的风险。我从与我合作过的演员身上学到的一件事是,你不会白拿东西。如果你不冒着看起来很傻的风险,你永远不会做任何特别的事情。
I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and violates my, or any, sense of right and wrong. I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public, whom I promised better.
我的行为违背了我对家庭的义务,违背了我的或任何对与错的感觉。我首先向我的家人道歉,这是最重要的。我向公众道歉,我答应过他们我会做得更好。
I refuse to stand up in front of a rabbi and my friends and the woman I love - who I will tell you I can love with all my heart - and promise she will be the only one I will ever have until the day I die. That's a lie.
我拒绝站在拉比、我的朋友和我爱的女人面前——我要告诉你我可以全心全意地爱她——并承诺她将是我唯一的爱,直到我死的那一天。这是一个谎言。
I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn't ashamed of being tall. But I don't wear them any more because you don't have to wear heels to be beautiful. I can't even remember the last time I wore heels.
我过去常穿高跟鞋,因为我想让人们知道,我并不为个子高而感到羞耻。但我不再穿高跟鞋了,因为你不需要穿高跟鞋才能变得漂亮。我甚至不记得上次穿高跟鞋是什么时候了。
With the success of the last three or so years, when a lot of people start treating you differently, there's a danger that you may start to think of yourself differently. You rely on your friends to say, 'Hey, wake up!'
随着过去三年左右的成功,当很多人开始以不同的方式对待你时,你可能会开始以不同的方式看待自己。你依靠朋友对你说:“嘿,醒醒!”
Maybe its a case of one guitar feeling a certain way to the hands that makes one subsequently move differently over the strings, but my intent is always to wring the maximum emotional resonance out of the object in hand.
也许这是一把吉他用手触摸的一种特定方式,使它在琴弦上移动的方式不同,但我的意图总是要从手中的物体中挤出最大的情感共鸣。
He used to have a tent show, a little tent show, and I thought I was going to get a job working one year on the tent show, but he closed it down and I never got to go out there, but anyway, he had a sax and played drums.
他曾经举办过一个帐篷展,一个小型的帐篷展,我想我会在帐篷展上找份工作,工作一年,但是他把帐篷展结束了,我再也没有机会去那里了,但是不管怎样,他有萨克斯和鼓。
In the end, they pardoned me and packed me off to a home for the shell-shocked. Shortly before the end of the war, I was discharged a second time, once again with the observation that I was subject to recall at any time.
最后,他们原谅了我,把我送到了一个患有炮弹休克症的家庭。就在战争结束前不久,我第二次被释放了,再次被释放的原因是我随时都可能回忆起当时的观察结果。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I'm a self-taught musician aside from what I've been able to pick up from other players.
我是个自学成才的音乐家,除了能从其他演奏者那里学到东西外。
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。
Every radish I ever pulled up seemed to have a mortgage attached to it.
我拔过的每根萝卜似乎都有抵押贷款。
Absence from those we love is self from self - a deadly banishment.
离开我们所爱的人就是离开自我——一种致命的放逐。
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 have to be seen to be believed.
我必须让别人看到我才会相信我。
