A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
更好
Better
We were younger. And it's basically like looking at football classics. You see things that you did, you see things that you could've done better and you think about all the good relationships that you had with the cast.
我们是年轻的。这基本上就像看足球经典。你看到你做过的事情，你看到你本可以做得更好的事情，你想到你和演员们的所有良好关系。
But I work harder now because I have so much more exposure. And actually the harder you work as a writer, the better you get at it. It's like anything else. It's a muscle you have to exercise. I write more now than ever.
但我现在工作更努力了，因为我有了更多的机会。实际上，作为一名作家，你越努力，你写得就越好。就像其他东西一样。你必须锻炼这块肌肉。我现在比以前写得多。
Well, there's been plenty of ultimatums, and one thing that we better be very clear is that we can't continue to have the kind of defiance of the United Nations, the defiance of the international community that we've had.
好吧，已经有很多最后通牒了，有一件事我们最好非常清楚，那就是我们不能继续像以前那样蔑视联合国，蔑视国际社会。
It goes way, way back when we were under Sweden's rule. We always think they are better than us. We played against them so often for so many years. Every country has one opponent they want to beat and for us, it's Sweden.
这要追溯到很久以前，在瑞典的统治下。我们总是认为他们比我们好。这么多年来，我们经常和他们比赛。每个国家都有一个他们想要击败的对手，对我们来说，那就是瑞典。
I learned how to pitch better and how to compete better. I had a little slower velocity and learned how to throw my change-up for strikes when I needed to. That was a big help. It was something that I needed to go through.
我学会了如何更好地投球，如何更好地竞争。我的速度变慢了一点，学会了在需要的时候如何投变速球。这帮了大忙。这是我需要经历的事情。
I think I just have this need to be a storyteller. That's why I wasn't a great dancer - I couldn't articulate a story. I was a better choreographer. I have the need to to just express myself in that way. I can't explain it.
我想我只是需要成为一个讲故事的人。这就是为什么我不是一个优秀的舞者——我不能清晰地说出一个故事。我是一个更好的编舞。我需要用那种方式表达自己。我无法解释。
When I interview people, and they give me an immediate answer, they're often not thinking. So I'm silent. I wait. Because they think they have to keep answering. And it's the second train of thought that's the better answer.
当我采访别人，他们给我一个即时的答案，他们通常不会思考。所以我沉默。我等待。因为他们认为他们必须继续回答。第二个思路是更好的答案。
It was good for us, I suppose. Those kinds of times produce qualities in us that make us better for having had them. My parents were not getting along. My mother was quite intolerant of friendships that were being developed.
我想这对我们有好处。这些时间在我们身上产生了品质，让我们因为拥有了这些品质而变得更好。我父母不和。我母亲对正在发展的友谊相当不能容忍。
The greenest home is the one you don't build. If you really want to save the Earth, move in with another family and share a house that's already built. Better yet, live in the forest and eat whatever the squirrels don't want.
最环保的房子是你没有建造的。如果你真的想拯救地球，那就搬到另一个家庭，和他们一起住在已经建好的房子里。更好的是，住在森林里，吃松鼠不想吃的任何东西。
Well, financially it's a little bit better. But it's better than than when I was a teacher. But I kind of - it's allowed me to buy a house. And I've been able to help my mother with some stuff and my brother. So, that's nice.
嗯，从经济上来说，这样会好一点。但是比我当老师的时候好多了。但是我可以买房子。我还帮妈妈和弟弟做了一些事情。所以,这很好。
But just maybe sometimes being even more patient. Even though I thought I did that much better this year, and sometimes, you know, make my opponents play that one extra ball, and just knowing how to play the big points better.
但有时可能会更有耐心。尽管我认为我今年做得好多了，而且有时候，你知道，让我的对手多打一个球，而且仅仅知道如何更好地打重点。
I see myself as a citizen of the planet. Even as a child, I always found it mindless to root for your own team. I was puzzled by the fact that people said their own team was better than other teams simply because it was theirs.
我把自己看作是这个星球的公民。甚至当我还是个孩子的时候，我就发现为自己的团队加油是愚蠢的。人们说他们自己的球队比其他球队好，只是因为这是他们的球队，这让我很困惑。
