A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
行为
Act
I have long observed that the act of writing is viewed, by some, as an elite and otherworldly act, all the more so if a person isn't paid for what she writes.
长期以来，我一直注意到，写作被一些人视为一种精英和超凡脱俗的行为，如果一个人没有为她所写的东西付费，那就更是如此。
The act of conducting in itself, of waving my arms in the air and being in charge, I didn't miss. I missed the sensual pleasure of being in contact with music.
指挥本身的行为，在空中挥舞我的手臂和负责，我没有错过。我错过了与音乐接触的感官享受。
On the surface we all act like we all love each other and we're free and easy, and actually we're far more moralistic than any other society I've ever lived in.
从表面上看，我们都表现得好像我们彼此相爱，我们自由自在，实际上，我们比我所生活过的任何一个社会都更崇尚道德。
From the described experiment it is clear that the mere act of eating, the food even not reaching the stomach, determines the stimulation of the gastric glands.
从所描述的实验可以清楚地看出，仅仅是吃东西的行为，甚至食物没有到达胃，就决定了对胃腺的刺激。
Reading, like writing, is a creative act. If readers only bring a narrow range of themselves to the book, then they'll only see their narrow range reflected in it.
阅读和写作一样，是一种创造性的行为。如果读者只把自己的一小部分带进书中，那么他们只会在书中看到自己的一小部分。
I wondered which was harder, in the end. The act of telling, or who you told it to. Or maybe if, when you finally got it out, the story was really all that mattered.
我想知道到底哪个更难。告诉的行为，或者你告诉了谁。或者，当你最终把它弄出来的时候，故事才是最重要的。
I'm a comedian first. I've learned how to act. I just draw on life experiences and that's how I've learned. I didn't take classes or anything. I don't need no classroom.
我首先是个喜剧演员。我已经学会了如何行动。我只是利用生活经验，这就是我学到的。我没有上课什么的。我不需要教室。
I have lived eighty years of life and know nothing for it, but to be resigned and tell myself that flies are born to be eaten by spiders and man to be devoured by sorrow.
我活了八十年，除了听天由命地告诉自己:苍蝇是天生要被蜘蛛吃掉的，人是天生要被悲伤吃掉的之外，我对生活一无所知。
I really am a thinker. I don't do things rash. I know some of the things I've said or the way I act seem rash. But I do take ownership of it. I don't say things I don't mean.
我真的是一个思想家。我不会草率行事。我知道我说过的一些话或我的行为举止似乎有些轻率。但我确实拥有它。我不说我不想说的话。
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.
这种创造性的行为只持续了很短的一段时间，就像闪电一样的给予和接受，这段时间刚好够你把相机调平，把稍纵即逝的猎物困在你的小盒子里。
The titanic effort that has brought liberation to South Africa, and ensured the total liberation of Africa, constitutes an act of redemption for the black people of the world.
为南非带来解放并确保非洲全面解放的巨大努力是对世界黑人的一种救赎行动。
Protect your enthusiasm from the negativity and fear of others. Never decide to do little. Do what you can. You would be surprised at what 'little' acts have done for our world.
保护你的热情远离消极和对他人的恐惧。永远不要决定无所作为。尽你所能。你会对“小”行为为我们的世界所做的事情感到惊讶。
