A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
简单
Simply
I simply want you to give to yourself as much as you give of yourself. By taking care of yourself financially, you will truly be able to take care of those you love.
我只是想让你给自己和给自己一样多。在经济上照顾好自己,你就能真正照顾你爱的人。
There are some people who want to throw their arms round you simply because it is Christmas; there are other people who want to strangle you simply because it is Christmas.
有些人仅仅因为是圣诞节就想拥抱你;有些人仅仅因为圣诞节就想掐死你。
We call ourselves a free nation, and yet we let ourselves be told what cabs we can and can't take by a man at a hotel door, simply because he has a drum major's uniform on.
我们自称是一个自由的国家,然而我们却让自己在酒店门口被一个男人告知我们可以乘坐什么出租车,不可以乘坐什么出租车,仅仅因为他穿了一件鼓少校的制服。
I'm always in awe of people who are artists in their fields - people who understand that simply by taking ideas and translating them into reality, they've created value in the world.
我总是对那些在他们的领域里是艺术家的人感到敬畏——他们明白,只要把想法转化为现实,他们就能在这个世界上创造价值。
Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope.
信仰不仅仅是一种被动地忍受直到暴风雨过去的耐心。相反,它是一种承受一切的精神——是的,伴随着辞职,但最重要的是,伴随着炽热而宁静的希望。
The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?
我能为我的朋友做的最多的就是做他的朋友。我没有钱给他。如果他知道我爱他是幸福的,他就不要别的报酬了。难道友谊不是神圣的吗?
Adopted pets are the best pets you can have. Most adoptable pets come from loving homes that simply cannot care for them anymore. Or, they are strays who've been on their own without the loving care they deserve.
收养的宠物是你能养的最好的宠物。大多数可收养的宠物来自充满爱心的家庭,而这些家庭根本无法再照顾它们。或者,他们是孤独的流浪狗,没有得到应有的关爱。
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak; and at last some crisis shows what we have become.
伟大的场合不会造就英雄或懦夫;他们只是在男人的眼前揭开面纱。在我们醒着或睡着的时候,我们在不知不觉中变得坚强或软弱;最终,一些危机显示出我们已经变成了什么样子。
Truly, the bench is a boon to idlers. Whoever first came up with the idea is a genius: free public resting places where you can take time out from the bustle and brouhaha of the city, and simply sit and watch and reflect.
的确,板凳对闲人来说是件好事。第一个想到这个主意的人是一个天才:免费的公共休息场所,在那里你可以从城市的喧嚣和喧闹中抽出时间来,坐下来观察和思考。
I now have a home recording studio, which I can operate entirely on my own, as well as a portable version of the same which allows me to record anywhere I like and simply swap out the hard drives for use in the home studio.
我现在有一个家庭录音室,我可以完全自己操作,还有一个便携式版本的相同,让我可以在任何我喜欢的地方录音,并简单地更换硬盘驱动器,在家庭录音室使用。
Regularity in the hours of rising and retiring, perseverance in exercise, adaptation of dress to the variations of climate, simple and nutritious aliment, and temperance in all things are necessary branches of the regimen of health.
有规律的作息时间,坚持锻炼,使衣服适应气候的变化,简单而有营养的饮食,以及对一切事物的节制,这些都是健康养生法的必要组成部分。
Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
很少有人有真正的艺术才能。因此,通过努力来刺激局势既不合适,也没有效果。如果你有一种强烈的,不安分的写作或绘画的冲动,只要吃点甜食,这种感觉就会过去。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Put simply, I want to treat my readers as partners and not crooks. There is no future in calling your most active promoters crooks.

There's simply no substitute for experience in terms of aviation safety.

这应该是一个简单的经验问题,无论气候是否在变化,我们是否负有责任。但是,辩论的各方现在已经变得如此部落化,随着更多信息的到来,改变我们的观点不再是问题。

战争永远解决不了任何问题,这是不对的。
