A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
能力
Ability
I like fruit baskets because it gives you the ability to mail someone a piece of fruit without appearing insane. Like, if someone just mailed you an apple you'd be like, 'huh? What the hell is this?' But if it's in a fruit basket you're like, 'this is nice!'
我喜欢水果篮，因为它能让你在不显得疯狂的情况下给别人寄去一片水果。比如，如果有人寄给你一个苹果，你会说，‘啊?这是什么鬼东西?但如果放在水果篮子里，你会说，“这很好!”
I have to say that one of the most important things Scientology has given me is the ability to keep my integrity together. I understand how people can get into unethical situations, and Scientology has always helped me keep my head clear and be in present time.
我不得不说，山达基教会给我的最重要的东西之一就是让我保持正直。我理解人们如何陷入不道德的境地，山达基教一直帮助我保持头脑清醒，活在当下。
I have always been an outstanding football player, I have always had uncanny abilities, great arm strength, an immense ability to play the game from a quarterback standpoint. The problem was that I wasn't given the liberty to do certain things when I was young.
我一直是一名优秀的足球运动员，我一直拥有不可思议的能力，强大的手臂力量，从四分卫的角度踢比赛的能力。问题是我年轻的时候没有做某些事情的自由。
In other words, if a teacher only teaches in one way, then they conclude that the kids who can't learn well that way don't have the ability, when, in fact, it may be that the way the teacher's teaching is not a particularly good match to the way those kids learn.
换句话说,如果一个老师只教在某种程度上,然后他们的结论是,孩子学习不好,没有能力,的时候,事实上,它可能是老师的教学方式并不是一个特别好的匹配这些孩子学习的方式。
I didn't want to be a writer, but I became one. And now I have many readers, in many countries. I think that's a miracle. So I think I have to be humble regarding this ability. I'm proud of it and I enjoy it, and it is strange to say it this way, but I respect it.
我并不想成为一名作家，但我成为了一名作家。现在我在很多国家都有很多读者。我认为这是个奇迹。所以我认为我必须谦虚对待这种能力。我为它感到骄傲，我喜欢它，这样说很奇怪，但我尊重它。
Madonna is a pro. I don't like her and have no respect for her but- I don't think she should be called a musician or a dancer or whatever you know, but I do have, well I do have respect for her ability to completely manipulate the media and have them work for her.
麦当娜是职业歌手。我不喜欢她，也不尊重她，但是我不认为她应该被称为音乐家、舞蹈家或其他什么人，但是我确实尊重她完全操纵媒体，让媒体为她工作的能力。
Take, therefore, what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally.That, in my view, gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.
因此，以现代技术的能力为例:我们的道德意识的力量与通讯的力量以及我们在国际上组织的能力相结合。在我看来，这给了我们作为一个整体从根本上改变世界的第一个机会。
Get that right, then- if you get the quality right, then the marketability or whatever; your ability to sell videos or your ability to earn money or whatever, will follow naturally. But try to be creatively lead rather than market lead. And that's important to me.
做对了，如果你做对了质量，然后市场性或其他;你销售视频的能力或者你赚钱的能力，都会自然而然地随之而来。但要努力成为创造性的领导者，而不是市场领导者。这对我很重要。
What I take from writers I like is their economy - the ability to use language to very effective ends. The ability to have somebody read something and see it, or for somebody to paint an entire landscape of visual imagery with just sheets of words - that's magical.
我从我喜欢的作家身上学到的是他们的经济能力——运用语言达到有效目的的能力。让某人阅读并看到它的能力，或者让某人用一张张文字来描绘整个视觉形象的能力——这很神奇。

The ability to take pleasure in one's life is a skill and is a kind of intelligence. So intelligence is a hard thing to evaluate and it manifests itself in so many different ways. I do think the ability to know how to live a life and not be miserable is a sign of that.
享受生活的能力是一种技能，也是一种智慧。所以智力是很难评估的，它表现在很多不同的方面。我确实认为，懂得如何生活而不感到痛苦就是一个迹象。
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?
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of face within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.
知识来了，智慧却迟迟不前。在相对较短的时间内在头脑中储存大量的面孔可能并不困难，但是形成判断的能力需要严格的刻苦训练和经验与成熟的磨练。
