A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
更好
Better
Popstars really draws you in. It's fascinating. It's interesting to watch people thrown together in that kind of a situation. Even if the egos weren't involved and they weren't trying to be world famous. It's the Real World, only better.
流行歌星真的很吸引你。这是迷人的。看到人们在那种情况下聚在一起是很有趣的。即使这些自负的人没有参与其中,他们也不想成为世界名人。这是真实的世界,只是更好。
Lady Limelight is a jealous lady. She wants all of your attention. You don't have any time to think of anything else but Lady Limelight, because pretty soon that light will be shinning on somebody else. So you better do it while you can.
聚光灯下的女人是一个爱吃醋的女人。她需要你所有的注意力。你没有时间去想其他的事情,除了聚光灯下的女士,因为很快那道光就会照耀到别人身上。所以你最好在你能做的时候做。
And I came back and it was great, 'cuz George had set up all these flowers all over the studio saying welcome home. So then we got it together again. I always felt it was better on the White one for me. We were more like a band, you know.
我回来的时候感觉很好,因为乔治在工作室里放了很多花,上面写着欢迎回家。然后我们又和好了。我一直觉得白色的更好。我们更像是一个乐队。
I am and always will be a sinner. But that's the beautiful thing about Jesus. I'll always try to be a better person in the eyes of God. But I'm not all of a sudden stepping up on a pedestal and saying I'm holier than thou, 'cause I'm not!
我现在是罪人,将来也永远是。但这就是耶稣的美丽之处。在上帝的眼中,我将永远做一个更好的人。但我不会突然站在基座上说我比你神圣,因为我不是!
I was this role model for heavy people. But the thing is, I never set out to be a role model at all, and I don't set out to be one now. I won't preach to anyone and tell them how to lose weight. I don't know any better than the next person.
我是胖人的榜样。但问题是,我从来没有想过要成为一个榜样,我现在也没有。我不会对任何人说教,也不会告诉他们如何减肥。我知道的不比别人多。
I've never taken vocal lessons. My early trumpet training and a fortunate talent for singing has always been enough for me. In the case of rock singing, I've always felt it was better to remain a bit untrained to maintain your individuality.
我从未上过声乐课。我早期的小号训练和幸运的歌唱天赋对我来说已经足够了。就摇滚乐而言,我一直觉得最好还是保持一点未经训练的个性。
Good satire comes from anger. It comes from a sense of injustice, that there are wrongs in the world that need to be fixed. And what better place to get that well of venom and outrage boiling than a newsroom, because you're on the front lines.
好的讽刺来自愤怒。它来自一种不公正的感觉,世界上有许多错误需要纠正。还有什么地方比新闻编辑室更能让愤怒和愤怒沸腾,因为你在第一线。
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
勇敢地去做伟大的事情,去赢得光荣的胜利,即使会受到失败的挫折……而不是与那些既不享受也不太受苦的可怜的人为伍,因为他们生活在一个既不知道胜利也不知道失败的灰暗的黎明里。
I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past.
我几乎完全无视先例,相信会有更好的结果。有人告诉我事情总是这样做,我很生气。我反对先例的暴政。我追求任何可以改变过去的新事物。
We need a number of solutions - we need more efficiency and conservation. Efficiency is a big one. I think car companies need to do a lot better in producing more efficient cars. They have the technology, we just need to demand them as consumers.
我们需要一系列的解决方案——我们需要更多的效率和节约。效率是个大问题。我认为汽车公司需要在生产更高效的汽车方面做得更好。他们有技术,我们只需要把他们当作消费者来需求。
It is bad policy to regulate everything... where things may better regulate themselves and can be better promoted by private exertions; but it is no less bad policy to let those things alone which can only be promoted by interfering social power.
监管一切是糟糕的政策……在那里,事情可以更好地自我调节,通过私人努力可以得到更好的促进;但是,不去管那些只能通过干预社会权力来推动的事情,同样是糟糕的政策。
I come to the office each morning and stay for long hours doing what has to be done to the best of my ability. And when you've done the best you can, you can't do any better. So when I go to sleep I turn everything over to the Lord and forget it.
我每天早上都到办公室来,花很长时间做我力所能及的事情。当你已经尽力了,你就不能做得更好。所以当我睡觉的时候,我把一切都交给主,然后就忘记了。

来自一个没有鲜花的星球上的人会认为,我们一定是高兴得发疯了,才会有这样的事情发生在我们身上。
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。
