A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
出生
Birth
The climate, the economic situation, rising birth rates; none of these things give me a lot of hope or reason to be optimistic.
气候、经济形势、不断上升的出生率;这些都没有给我带来太多的希望或理由去乐观。
Hesitation before birth. If there is a transmigration of souls then I am not yet on the bottom rung. My life is a hesitation before birth.
犹豫在出生之前。如果有灵魂的轮回，那么我还没有在最底层。我的人生在出生前就是一场彷徨。
As soon as I gave birth, it was as if you understand them. They become people, not kids. You start to identify with them. You see yourself in them.
我一出生，你就好像明白了。他们变成了人，而不是孩子。你开始认同他们。你从他们身上看到你自己。
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
我们孤独地出生，孤独地生活，孤独地死去。只有通过我们的爱和友谊，我们才能制造出我们并不孤单的幻觉。
My mother-in-law was with me during all four of my births and when she was sitting next to me holding my hand during the cesareans, well, I craved that.

Isn't it true that the fault of birth rests somewhat on the child? I believe it's we who led our parents on to bear us, and it's our unborn children who make our flesh itch.
难道出生的过错在某种程度上要归咎于孩子吗?我相信是我们引导我们的父母生下了我们，是我们未出生的孩子让我们的肉体发痒。
Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous - to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.

As a father and grandfather, I have witnessed firsthand the joy of new life entering the world. I know the pain and apprehension that goes along with premature births and birth defects.

Philosophy means nothing unless it is connected to birth, death, and the continuance of life. Anytime you are going to build a society that works, you have to begin from nature and the body.

Birth is the sudden opening of a window, through which you look out upon a stupendous prospect. For what has happened? A miracle. You have exchanged nothing for the possibility of everything.
出生是一扇窗户的突然打开，透过它你可以看到一个惊人的前景。发生了什么事?一个奇迹。你没有拿任何东西来交换一切的可能性。
I was slightly brain damaged at birth, and I want people like me to see that they shouldn't let a disability get in the way. I want to raise awareness - I want to turn my disability into ability.

Youth is not a question of years: one is young or old from birth.
青春不是年龄的问题:一个人一生下来就是年轻的还是年老的。
As the poet has expected, the alarms now are sounded, for - and it must be said again - the birth of a poet is always a threat to the existing cultural order, because he attempts to break through the circle of literary castes to reach the center.
正如诗人所预料的那样，警钟现在敲响了，因为——必须再说一遍——诗人的诞生总是对现存的文化秩序构成威胁，因为他试图突破文学阶层的圈子，到达中心。
