A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
形状
Shape
The visions we offer our children shape the future. It matters what those visions are. Often they become self-fulfilling prophecies.
我们为孩子们提供的愿景塑造了未来。这些愿景是什么很重要。它们往往成为自我实现的预言。

You have indeed done much since the new century began to give shape and substance to the growing, the insistent desire that war may be banished from the earth.

I have had nothing to do in any way, shape or form with the mailing of these anthrax letters, and it is extremely wrong for anyone to contend or suggest that I have.

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.

No new projects at the moment. There are restrictions to how much I can take on. And I need to finish those that I am committed to do before thinking ahead. But I'd rather they take final shape before we talk of them.

It quickly swelled into the shape of a gigantic question mark, the middle of which was a vivid crimson, and as this thunderhead-like column billowed upward through the sky, she could see a red ball of fire at its core.

I think we have some serious problems now, but, if you look back over the last thirty or forty years that my book deals with, I think we are in better shape now than we would have been if all of those cases had not come down.
我认为我们现在有一些严重的问题，但是，如果你回顾一下过去三、四十年来我的书所涉及的问题，我认为我们现在的状况比如果不是所有这些情况都出现的话，我们现在的状况要好得多。
Local television is a slightly different story. It is under much more pressure in the same way that all local businesses are, whether that's a local newspaper, local radio or local television. But I think television in the aggregate is actually in very good shape.
地方电视台的情况略有不同。它承受的压力和所有当地企业一样大，无论是当地报纸、电台还是电视台。但我认为总的来说，电视的发展状况非常好。
