Ability
He's very good. On offense, he has the ability to go outside. He's not stiff at all. He's able to make plays from up high. Defensively, he's just long. He has the ability to change shots if he's not blocking 'em. He played with a lot of energy.

I obviously take a lot of pride in what I do on the football field, because that has the ability to influence a lot of people. That puts smiles on people's faces. That gives people a pep in their step on Monday morning when they go back to work.
很明显，我对自己在足球场上所做的感到非常自豪，因为这能够影响很多人。这让人们的脸上露出了笑容。这让人们在周一早上回到工作岗位时精神抖擞。
If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or Fight Like Hell.
如果孩子们有能力忽略所有的可能性和百分比，那么也许我们都可以从中学习。当你想到这一点时，除了希望，还有什么别的选择呢?我们有两个选择，医学上和情感上:要么放弃，要么拼命战斗。
Human beings are accustomed to think of intellect as the power of having and controlling ideas and of ability to learn as synonymous with ability to have ideas. But learning by having ideas is really one of the rare and isolated events in nature.

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。
The companies that survive longest are the one's that work out what they uniquely can give to the world not just growth or money but their excellence, their respect for others, or their ability to make people happy. Some call those things a soul.

在一个家庭最困难的时刻，我想确保他们至少拥有最基本的舒适:能够私下哀悼他们的损失，知道他们的国家感激他们所爱的人的牺牲和服务。
We continue to recognize the greater ability of some to earn more than others. But we do assert that the ambition of the individual to obtain for him a proper security is an ambition to be preferred to the appetite for great wealth and great power.
我们继续认识到一些人比其他人挣得更多的能力更强。但是，我们确实主张，个人获得适当安全的野心是一种比追求巨大财富和权力更可取的野心。
It's sort of a feeling of power onstage. It's really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don't really think it's power... it's the goodness.
这是一种舞台上的权力感。这真的是一种让人们微笑的能力，或者只是在这段时间里让他们朝一个方向或另一个方向微笑，并在以后产生一些效果。我不认为这是权力…这是善良。
And I'm hoping that fair-minded people will stand up and say that what's been done to me is wrong, and that-that people's personal lives have no impact on their ability to be a journalist, you know. Why should my past prevent me from having a future?
我希望公正的人们站出来说，对我所做的是错误的，人们的私生活不会影响他们成为一名记者的能力。为什么我的过去要阻止我拥有未来?
Reading asks that you bring your whole life experience and your ability to decode the written word and your creative imagination to the page and be a co-author with the writer, because the story is just squiggles on the page unless you have a reader.
阅读要求你把你的全部生活经历、你对文字的解码能力、你的创造性想象力都写在纸上，成为作者的合著者，因为除非你有读者，否则故事在纸上只是乱七八糟的。

训练是为比赛做准备的一个非常重要的部分，你真的需要训练来比赛。它提高你的能力，就像磨刀一样。只要你达到了一定的健康标准，你可以暂时不锻炼。

艺术并不在遥远的地方。艺术作品是一个人的整个人格、情感和能力的表现。
It's strange that we create tech and then we apply it to machines, when we could apply it to ourselves. Cars can now detect if something is behind them, but we don't have this ability. Why are we applying such a simple sense to a car when we could apply it to ourselves?
奇怪的是，我们创造了技术，然后把它应用到机器上，而我们可以把它应用到我们自己身上。汽车现在可以探测到背后是否有东西，但我们没有这种能力。为什么我们要把这样一个简单的概念应用到汽车上，而我们可以把它应用到我们自己身上呢?
