A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
简单
Simply
It should simply be an empirical matter whether the climate is changing or not and whether we're responsible. But the various sides of the debate have now become so tribal that it's no longer a matter of changing our views as more information comes in.
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。
You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
你不需要离开你的房间。坐在你的桌旁听。甚至不听,只是等待,安静和孤独。世界将自由地把自己奉献给你,让你去揭开它的面具,它没有选择,它将在你脚下狂喜地翻滚。
Whenever I hear the epistles of Paul read out loud in the liturgy, I am filled with joy... If I'm regarded as a learned man, it's not because I'm brainy. It's simply because I have such a love for Paul that I have never left off reading him. He has taught me all I know.
我每逢听见保罗的书信在礼仪上大声诵读,就满心喜乐。如果我被认为是个有学问的人,那并不是因为我聪明。这只是因为我对保罗的爱,我从来没有停止阅读他。他把我所知道的都教给了我。
There was a period of time when I first moved to Nashville, like the first couple of years, that I was just simply lost. I didn't know who I was; I didn't know really what I was doing here. I was meant to be a singer, but I just felt lost. That's when I went on the search for my birth family.
有一段时间,我第一次搬到纳什维尔,就像头几年一样,我完全迷失了。我不知道我是谁;我真的不知道我在这里做什么。我本想成为一名歌手,但我只是感到失落。就在那时,我开始寻找我的生身父母。
Most of the time when I receive a script, it says something like 'Rosenberg is the fat, slovenly Mayor, who doesn't want the kids to use the skateboard park', or 'Stein is a pompous, rotund attorney, imposing to all.' It would be so freeing to get a script where my character is simply described as 'A Man'.
大多数时候,当我收到一份手稿时,上面写着类似这样的话:“罗森博格是一个肥胖、邋遢的市长,他不想让孩子们使用滑板公园”,或者“斯坦是一个自负、肥胖的律师,强加于所有人”。“如果能得到一个剧本,把我的角色简单地描述为‘一个男人’,那就太自由了。”
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
Look at the means which a man employs, consider his motives, observe his pleasures. A man simply cannot conceal himself!
视其所以,观其所由,察其所安。人焉廋哉?人焉廋哉?
There's no worse crime in journalism these days than simply deciding something's a story because Drudge links to it.
在当今的新闻业中,没有什么比仅仅因为苦力链接到某件事而决定它是一个故事更糟糕的犯罪了。
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。
Journalists, who are skeptical to begin with, simply do not like to be lied to or made fools of.
