A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
短
Short
A military road led from this point to Fort Leavenworth, and for many miles the farms and cabins of the Delawares were scattered at short intervals on either hand.
从这一点到利文沃斯堡有一条军用公路，德拉瓦雷斯的农场和小木屋在方圆数英里的范围内分散在两边，间隔很短。
And we had the perhaps unfair advantage of not having to worry about what an audience was gonna think. We were in a vacuum. We were making little short films, really.
我们有一个不公平的优势，不用担心观众会怎么想。我们处于真空中。我们在拍短片，真的。
Don't sell yourself short because without that you can't go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can't do anything else with that.
不要低估自己，因为没有它，你的人生就不会走得太远，因为在运动之后，你唯一知道的就是运动，你不能用它做任何其他事情。
It's very difficult for my body to recover after workouts now that I'm older, so we have to keep them short, which means they're extremely difficult and intense. It sucks.
现在我年纪大了，我的身体很难在锻炼后恢复，所以我们必须保持锻炼时间短，这意味着锻炼非常困难，而且强度很大。它糟透了。
It is not short of amazing, the power of a great idea to weld men together. There was in it a peculiar, intense, vital spirit if you will, that I have never felt before in any strike.
一个伟大的想法能把人焊接在一起，其力量是惊人的。这里面有一种奇特的、强烈的、充满活力的精神，如果你愿意这么说的话，这是我以前在任何一次打击中从未感受过的。
But long story short, I didn't start doing stand-up because I wanted to have a TV show or be an actor or even wanted to write sketch comedy. I got into stand-up because I love stand-up.
但是长话短说，我开始做单口相声不是因为我想做一个电视节目，或者成为一名演员，甚至想写喜剧小品。我喜欢单口喜剧是因为我喜欢单口喜剧。
Less really is more. It's a tendency of beginning writers to want to prove what they're talking about by going too far with description. I think you've got to keep it short, crisp and clean.
少即是多。这是一种趋势，开始的作家想要证明他们所谈论的，通过过分的描述。我认为你必须保持它的短，脆和干净。
My height can be a problem. A lot of directors and photographers are sometimes not happy because I'm pretty tall and especially if I work with short actors the difference can be pretty massive.
我的身高是个问题。很多导演和摄影师有时不高兴，因为我很高，尤其是如果我和矮个演员一起工作，差别可能会很大。
I like Toronto a lot, it's a good city. The only thing that really annoys me about Toronto is that you're turning Maple Leaf Gardens into a grocery store, which is absolutely nothing short of disgusting.

The first thing I read was of my character on the phone talking to Sydney's fiance. Though short, it was so beautifully written, and it made me laugh. I thought if I wanted to play a character, this would be it.
我读到的第一件事是我的角色和悉尼的未婚夫通电话。虽然很短，但写得很好，让我笑了。我想如果我想扮演一个角色，这就是我想要的。
And it turned out that the Roberts Commission did not fully utilize the information available and that it came to conclusions which were I think quite short sighted and, indeed, in some cases, scapegoated individuals.
结果是，罗伯茨委员会没有充分利用现有的信息，得出的结论我认为是相当短视的，在某些情况下，甚至是替罪羊。
I'm actually a very shy person, which is why I always chose to be in the kitchen. You can make people happy and entertain them, without really being there. You can make a very short appearance and then say, 'I've got something on the stove, gotta go!'
我其实是一个非常害羞的人，这就是为什么我总是选择在厨房。你可以让人们快乐，娱乐他们，而不是真正的存在。你可以短暂地露面，然后说:“我炉子上有东西，我得走了!”
