A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
单
Single
I'm not into 'Let's go out with one guy on a Monday and another guy on a Wednesday' - that's just not me. I'm a relationship kind of girl. I like a twosome. Some people get excited about being single. I don't.
我不喜欢“我们周一和一个男人出去，周三和另一个男人出去”——那不是我。我是那种喜欢谈恋爱的女孩。我喜欢两个人。有些人对单身感到兴奋。我不喜欢。
If you break up with a girlfriend or a boyfriend, you're in this vulnerable state where you're still kind of half in the relationship with them, but you're single, and it takes a while to feel solid in yourself again.

In days when the public safety is imminently threatened, and the fate of a nation may hang upon a single act, we owe frank speech, above all other men, to him who is highest in authority. I shall speak to you as man to man.

In my whole career, in fact, I can remember only two first nights when a show was at its peak on the first night. And I just wish we could devise a system where critics came not on a single evening but were given a choice of performances to attend.
事实上，在我的整个职业生涯中，我只记得在演出的头两个晚上，一个节目在第一个晚上达到了高潮。我只是希望我们能设计出一种制度，让批评人士不是在一个晚上来的，而是可以选择参加哪些演出。
Outside speech, the association that is made in the memory between words having something in common creates different groups, series, families, within which very diverse relations obtain but belonging to a single category: these are associative relations.
在言语之外，有共同之处的词语在记忆中所形成的联想创造了不同的群体、系列、科，在这些群体中，获得了非常不同的关系，但都属于一个范畴:这些都是联想关系。
It always amuses me that the biggest praise for my work comes for the imagination, while the truth is that there's not a single line in all my work that does not have a basis in reality. The problem is that Caribbean reality resembles the wildest imagination.
让我感到好笑的是，对我作品的最大褒奖来自于想象力，而事实是，在我所有的作品中，没有哪一行是没有现实基础的。问题是，加勒比地区的现实就像最狂野的想象。
The former measured six feet and an inch in his stockings, and, without a single pound of cumbrous flesh about him, weighed a hundred and eighty. The latter was an inch shorter than his rival, and ten pounds lighter; but he was much the most active of the two.
前者在他的长统袜里有六英尺零一英寸长，身上没有一磅赘肉，却有一百八十磅重。后者比他的对手矮一英寸，轻十磅;但他是这两个人中最活跃的。

我喜欢把手放在每一个盘子上。当有人称赞你做的菜，而你又参与其中时，这种感觉真的很好。这是非常有益的。
