A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
能力
Ability
Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
很少有人有真正的艺术才能。因此，通过努力来刺激局势既不合适，也没有效果。如果你有一种强烈的，不安分的写作或绘画的冲动，只要吃点甜食，这种感觉就会过去。
Rocket scientists agree that we have about reached the limit of our ability to travel in space using chemical rockets. To achieve anything near the speed of light we will need a new energy source and a new propellant. Nuclear fission is not an option.
火箭科学家一致认为，我们使用化学火箭在太空旅行的能力已接近极限。为了达到接近光速的速度，我们需要一种新的能源和一种新的推进剂。核裂变不是一个选择。
I think that once you open the door and allow people in on a certain aspect, it's very hard to then control how far that ripple effect is. So I think that the person who is known or famous has the ability to decide what they do or don't want to share.
我认为，一旦你打开大门，允许人们进入某个领域，就很难控制连锁反应的程度。所以我认为，名人有能力决定他们想做什么或不想分享什么。
I understand that computers, which I once believed to be but a hermaphrodite typewriter-cum-filing cabinet, offer the cyber literate increased ability to communicate. I do not think this is altogether a bad thing, however it may appear on the surface.
我明白，我曾经认为电脑不过是一台雌雄同体的打字机兼文件柜，但它为懂网络的人提供了更强的沟通能力。我不认为这完全是一件坏事，不管表面上看起来如何。
I try to stay out of the spotlight as much as humanly possible, because I think that when actors, whether or not they've chosen it or it has been thrust upon them, are living very public lives, it affects your ability to get lost in their performances.
我尽可能地远离聚光灯，因为我认为，当演员们，不管他们是否选择了这种生活，或者这种生活是强加给他们的，过着非常公开的生活，这会影响你在他们的表演中迷失自我的能力。
We do not have the luxury of two big oceans protecting us as we have had in the past, for we now have a new kind of enemy who deals with stealthiness. Our ability to protect ourselves is having the information ahead of time so we can thwart the attack.

I believe that an artist working for and representing the Kingdom of God should do the best of their ability to show and prove the depth, life, newness, creativity, truth and excitement of their Heavenly Father through the work that is set before them.
我相信，为神的国工作和代表神的国的艺术家，应该尽他们最大的能力，通过摆在他们面前的工作，来显示和证明天父的深度、生命、新奇、创造力、真理和兴奋。
The only thing of value I have in this life is my ability to tell a story, whether in print, orating, writing it down or having people acting it out. That's why I'm always hoping society never collapses because the first ones to go will be entertainers.
我生命中唯一有价值的东西就是我讲故事的能力，不管是写在纸上，演讲，写下来，还是让别人表演出来。这就是为什么我总是希望社会永远不会崩溃，因为第一个倒下的将是艺人。

世界贸易中心是人类致力于世界和平的活生生的象征。代表了人类对人性的信念，对个人尊严的需要，对人类合作的信念，以及通过合作找到伟大的能力。
We're looking to have the ability to come in and be able to capitalize on the marketing in order to grow the top-line. We basically leverage what has worked with our other successful acquisitions - investment in marketing, retention and student services.
我们希望有能力进入，并能够利用市场营销，以增长第一线。我们基本上利用了其他成功收购的优势——在营销、人才保留和学生服务方面的投资。
Don't compare me to Babe Ruth. God gave me the opportunity and the ability to be here at the right time, at the right moment, just like he gave Babe Ruth when he was playing. I just hope I can keep doing what I've been doing - keep taking care of business.
别拿我和贝比鲁斯比。上帝给了我机会和能力来这里在正确的时间，在正确的时刻，就像他给贝比鲁斯当他在玩。我只是希望我能继续做我一直在做的事情——继续打理生意。
You know, if we're going to bring down the price of gas, you have to have three things. You have to have a big reserve, you have to have the ability to develop oil out of that reserve quickly, and you have to be able to produce oil at a relatively low cost.
你知道，如果我们要降低汽油的价格，你必须有三件事。你必须有一个很大的储备，你必须有能力从储备中迅速开发石油，你必须能够以相对较低的成本生产石油。
KEEP EXPLORING
