A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自我
Self
I have just begun a work in which an important part is given to a large chorus and with it I want to use several of your instruments - augmenting their range as in those I used for my Equatorial - especially in the high range.
我刚刚开始一项工作,其中一个重要的部分是给一个大合唱团,我想用它的几个你的乐器-扩大他们的范围,就像那些我用我的赤道-特别是在高范围。
It's not so much what you learn about Mumbai, it's what you learn about yourself, really. It's a funny old hippie thing, but it's true as well. You find out a lot about yourself and your tolerance, and about your inclusiveness.
重要的不是你对孟买的了解,而是你对自己的了解。这是一个有趣的老嬉皮士的东西,但它也是真实的。你会发现很多关于你自己,关于你的宽容,关于你的包容。
I always felt I was living in two worlds. One was the Mexican world, because nearly everybody I knew, relatives and cousins and kids in the neighbourhood, were Mexican. Then school was a different world. It was ethnically mixed.
我总觉得自己生活在两个世界里。一个是墨西哥世界,因为我认识的几乎所有人,包括亲戚、堂兄妹和邻居的孩子,都是墨西哥人。那时的学校是一个不同的世界。它是种族混合的。
If there is a good musical reason, I think it might draw more attention and sell, though it is not guaranteed. To make a record without a musical reason, you have to either be a pop star who sells automatically or just be lucky.
如果有一个好的音乐原因,我认为它可能会吸引更多的关注和销售,虽然这并不能保证。要制作一张没有音乐原因的唱片,你要么是一个自动销售的流行歌星,要么就是运气好。
Sure, I'll have characters drop in and out of books but the main cast of characters always changes. Maybe I'm wrong but I think if had the same joe detective guy or gal, I wouldn't write them as well; I wouldn't do as good a job.
当然,我也会让角色在书中进进出出,但主要角色总是在变化。也许我错了,但我想如果有同样的乔侦探盖伊或盖尔,我不会写得那么好;我不会做得那么好。
I bought a piano once because I had the dream of playing As Time Goes By as some girl's leaning on it drinking a martini. Great image. But none of it worked out. I can't even play Chopsticks. But I've got a nice piano at my house!
我曾经买过一架钢琴,因为我有一个梦想,随着时间的推移,一些女孩靠在钢琴上喝马提尼。伟大的形象。但都没有成功。我甚至不会玩筷子。但是我家里有一架很好的钢琴!
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。
I love fresh citrus and always keep lemons, limes, and oranges on hand; they come in handy for spritzing up quickly grilled meats, seafoods, and vegetables, especially when followed up by a quick drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
我喜欢新鲜的柑橘类水果,总是把柠檬、酸橙和橙子放在手边;它们在快速喷烤肉类、海鲜和蔬菜时派上用场,尤其是在喷上特级初榨橄榄油之后。
I think that anything that you do, any accomplishment that you make, you have to work for. And I've worked very hard in the last ten years of my life, definitely, and I can tell you that hard work pays off. It's not just a cliche.
我认为,你所做的任何事情,你所取得的任何成就,你都必须为之努力。在我生命的最后十年里,我非常努力地工作,毫无疑问,我可以告诉你,努力工作是有回报的。
My diet is mostly chicken and fish. I make sure I get a lot of vegetables, a lot of fruit. I am a big fruit man, I am a vegetable man anyway. And I also get a lot of rest. That's the key I may be up early, but I'm in bed early too.
我的饮食主要是鸡肉和鱼。我确保我有很多蔬菜,很多水果。我是一个大水果人,无论如何我是一个蔬菜人。我也得到了很多休息。这是关键我可能起得很早,但我也很早上床睡觉。
You know, I have guys that are almost stalkers... it is very strange. I had this one guy that e-mailed me off my site, and thought we were boyfriend and girlfriend. He then came to my house in London, I do not know how he found it.
你知道,我有些人几乎是跟踪狂……这很奇怪。有个家伙在我的网站上发邮件给我,以为我们是男女朋友。然后他来到我在伦敦的家,我不知道他是怎么发现的。
There is only one thing I want. I would like to be seriously ill, and to hear nothing more about him for at least a week. Why doesn't something happen to me? Why do I have to go through all this? If only I had never set eyes on him!
我只想要一样东西。我希望自己病得很重,至少一个星期不要再听到他的消息。为什么我没有发生什么事?我为什么要经历这些?要是我从来没有见过他就好了!
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Regarding the Hall of Fame, when they decided I was going to be one of the possible candidates, when I heard that, I was so thrilled. You're always hoping for something like that.
关于名人堂,当他们决定让我成为可能的候选人之一时,当我听到这个消息时,我非常激动。你总是希望得到那样的东西。
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 can not believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.
我不相信战争是最好的解决办法。没有人赢得最后一场战争,也没有人会赢得下一场战争。
I don't hurt or want for visibility, but people seem to forget pretty easily.
我不想伤害别人,也不想让别人看到我,但人们似乎很容易忘记我。
The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self, the Soul, the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.
平静的头脑允许一个人与内在的自我,灵魂,我们存在的源头相联系。那就是音乐存在的地方。这就是我音乐的来源。
How well he's read, to reason against reading!
他读得多好啊,竟然反对读书!
