A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
简单
Simple
Egyptian drumming happens to be a favorite of mine. It's a really simple instrument, but it's really difficult to play. You can take it anywhere with you - you can play it in your room, in an airport. It's very quiet, so you explore the quiet side.
埃及鼓碰巧是我最喜欢的。这是一种非常简单的乐器,但是很难演奏。你可以把它带到任何地方——你可以在你的房间里,在机场里玩。它非常安静,所以你要探索安静的一面。
It's very simple. We are asking baseball to come clean and set the record straight. Either baseball officials seriously want to rid their sport of doping, or they want to brush the issue under the carpet. So far, we haven't seen much evidence of the former.
很简单。我们要求棒球坦白交代,澄清事实。棒球官员要么是认真地想让他们的运动摆脱兴奋剂,要么就是想把这个问题掩盖起来。到目前为止,我们还没有看到太多关于前者的证据。
My painting is visible images which conceal nothing... they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.
我的画是有形的图像,没有任何隐藏…它们唤起了神秘感,当你看到我的照片时,你会问自己一个简单的问题“这是什么意思?”它没有任何意义,因为神秘也没有任何意义,它是不可知的。
Dancers, many dancers today can do so much technically. You can give them steps that are complicated, then more complicated, pyrotechnical - and they can execute these steps to perfection. But to do simple steps with a pure classical line, that is truly difficult.
舞者,今天的许多舞者在技术上可以做很多。你可以给他们一些复杂的步骤,然后是更复杂的,烟火的——他们可以把这些步骤执行到完美。但要用纯古典的线条做简单的步骤,确实很难。
Normally, what I do for fun is just nothing. I try to just relax. Normally, it involves just relaxing and reading and maybe going out and meeting up with a friend. I live a very simple existence. I would much rather just sit around and listen to a couple of records and read the paper.
正常情况下,我只是为了好玩,什么也不做。我试着放松。通常,这包括放松,阅读,也许出去和朋友见面。我过着非常简单的生活。我宁愿坐在那里听几张唱片,读报纸。
I always go back to how people behave. If you watch how people actually behave in a situation, it's very simple and honest and contained. You don't need to use as much expression, as much feeling. Some characters will boil over, and that's another thing, but a lot of times I think you can just do very, very little.
我总是回到人们的行为。如果你观察人们在某种情况下的实际行为,你会发现它非常简单、诚实和包容。你不需要用太多的表情,更多的感觉。有些角色会沸腾,这是另一回事,但很多时候我认为你能做的非常非常少。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

So basically it's very simple: to start with, if you want to win the match, you shouldn't be afraid of him. There are still many, many things to do, but above all this is the most important: Don't be scared of him!
所以基本上很简单:首先,如果你想赢得比赛,你不应该害怕他。还有很多很多事情要做,但最重要的是:不要害怕他!
