A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
架子上
Shelf
I dreamed of having a book of my own, of writing one that I could put on a shelf.
我梦想有一本自己的书，写一本可以放在书架上的书。
You've only got a short shelf-life as an actor, and I want to make the most of it while I can.
作为一个演员，你只有很短的货架期，我想趁我还能的时候好好利用它。
It's really clear to me that you can't hang onto something longer than its time. Ideas lose certain freshness, ideas have a shelf life, and sometimes they have to be replaced by other ideas.
我很清楚，你不能再拖了。创意失去了一定的新鲜度，创意有保质期，有时它们必须被其他创意所取代。
There's no reason to keep a piece of furniture in your house that is so sacred and rare that you can't put your feet up on it and a dog can't jump up on it. Likewise, a book that sits on a shelf like a piece of porcelain, only to be admired, never to be read again, is a dead book.
没有理由在家里放一件如此神圣稀有的家具，以至于你不能把脚放在上面，狗也不能跳上去。同样，如果一本书像一件瓷器一样放在架子上，只是为了欣赏，而不再阅读，那它就是一本死书。
And the whole Oscar thing, that is just surreal: you spend months and months doing promotion, and then come back to reality with this golden thing in your hands. You put it in the office and then you just have to look at it sitting on the shelf. And, after about two weeks, you go: 'What is that doing there?'
而整个奥斯卡的事情，简直是超现实的:你花了好几个月的时间做宣传，然后手里拿着这个金灿灿的东西回到现实。你把它放在办公室里，然后你只要把它放在架子上看就行了。大约两周后，你会问:“那是在做什么?”
