A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
能力
Ability
Who is there that ever receives a gift and tries to make bargains about it? Let us, then, return thanks for what He has bestowed on us. Who can tell whether, if we had had a larger share of ability or stronger health, we should not have possessed them to our destruction.
谁会收到礼物后还想讨价还价呢?那么，让我们感谢上帝赐予我们的一切。谁能说得清，如果我们有更多的能力或更强的健康，我们是否不应该拥有他们，我们的毁灭。
To have that sense of one's intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent. To lack it is to be locked within oneself, paradoxically incapable of either love or indifference.
拥有构成自尊的内在价值，就有可能拥有一切:歧视、爱和保持冷漠的能力。缺乏爱就是把自己锁在自己的内心，矛盾的是，既没有爱也没有冷漠。
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。
I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it.
我尊重那些充满激情的人。我做的事。但当一个人是法官时，他们不应该把这个带到法官席上。并不是真正的激情，除非在极少数情况下，能很好地服务于板凳席。而是一种理解法律并遵循法律的能力。
As we've gotten more successful, there's a gap between the speed of our publishing pipeline and the speed of our receiving submissions pipeline. Our pipeline of leaks has been increasing exponentially as our profile rises, and our ability to publish is increasing linearly.
随着我们越来越成功，我们的发布管道的速度和接收提交管道的速度之间存在差距。随着我们个人资料的增加，我们的泄漏管道呈指数级增长，我们发布信息的能力呈线性增长。
I think that more flow of information, the ability to stay connected to more people makes people more effective as people. And I mean, that's true socially. It makes you have more fun, right. It feels better to be more connected to all these people. You have a richer life.
我认为更多的信息流动，与更多的人保持联系的能力使人们更有效率。我的意思是，这在社交上是正确的。它让你有更多的乐趣，对吧。和这些人有更多的联系感觉更好。你有更丰富的生活。
Just the actual physical ability to hold four instruments simultaneously and do some of the things that Vivien was able to do is mind blowing to any surgeon. He never went to medical school and he became one of the great teachers of medicine himself, people are just amazed.
实际上，能够同时拿着四件器械，做一些维维安能做的事情，这让任何外科医生都大吃一惊。他从未上过医学院，他自己也成为了一名伟大的医学老师，人们都很惊讶。
My mother begged doctors to end her life. She was beyond the physical ability to swallow enough of the weak morphine pills she had around her. When she knew she was dying I promised to make sure she could go at a time of her choosing, but it was impossible. I couldn't help.
我母亲恳求医生结束她的生命。她的身体已经无法吞下足够的吗啡药片。当她知道自己将不久于人世时，我答应一定要让她在自己选择的时间离开，但这是不可能的。我不能帮助。
Finally, after a lot of searching and digging, it was simply the love of family that gave me a road into the character. Once I got into that, and we delved into what it would be like to survive cancer and the ability to see how precious life is, it became easier to play her.
最后，经过大量的寻找和挖掘，正是家庭的爱给了我进入角色的道路。当我进入角色后，我们深入研究了在癌症中存活下来是什么样子，以及生命是多么珍贵，扮演她变得更容易了。
Technically you need the extra dimensions. At first people didn't like them too much, but they've got a big benefit, which is that the ability of string theory to describe all the elementary particles and their forces along with gravity depends on using the extra dimensions.
从技术上讲，你需要额外的尺寸。起初人们不太喜欢它们，但它们有一个很大的好处，那就是弦理论描述所有基本粒子的能力以及它们的力和重力依赖于使用额外的维度。
Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.
希望是一种心态，而不是世界。从这种深刻而有力的意义上讲，希望并不等同于一切顺利带来的喜悦，也不等同于愿意投资那些显然正在走向成功的企业，而是一种因为好事而努力工作的能力。
Giving women education, work, the ability to control their own income, inherit and own property, benefits the society. If a woman is empowered, her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper, the village prospers, and eventually so does the whole country.
给予妇女受教育、工作、控制自己收入、继承和拥有财产的能力，有利于社会。如果一个女人被赋予权力，她的孩子和家庭就会更好。如果家庭繁荣，村庄就会繁荣，最终整个国家也会繁荣。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Fear is the lack of faith in one's ability to create powerful solutions.
恐惧是对自己创造强大解决方案的能力缺乏信心。
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?
Art is not in some far-off place. A work of art is the expression of a man's whole personality, sensibility and ability.
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。
I think reading Shakespeare's plays when I was young was extremely important. He had the ability to make utter strangers come alive.
我认为在我年轻的时候读莎士比亚的戏剧是非常重要的。他有能力让完全陌生的人活过来。
I was slightly brain damaged at birth, and I want people like me to see that they shouldn't let a disability get in the way. I want to raise awareness - I want to turn my disability into ability.
我出生时大脑受到轻微损伤，我希望像我这样的人明白，他们不应该让残疾成为障碍。我想提高人们的意识——我想把我的残疾变成能力。
