A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
社会
Social
With the growing reliance on social media, we no longer search for news, or the products and services we wish to buy. Instead they are being pushed to us by friends, acquaintances and business colleagues.
随着对社交媒体的日益依赖,我们不再搜索新闻,也不再搜索我们希望购买的产品和服务。相反,它们是由朋友、熟人和商业同事推送给我们的。
Keeping our eyes on journey's end is what we need - the place where we see at last the world that is greater than the world, the new creation that cannot be contained in present thought or social order or piety.
关注旅程的终点是我们所需要的——在那里我们最终看到了一个比世界更大的世界,无法包含在当前的思想、社会秩序或虔诚中的新创造。
You can also make explicit certain social problems which, again, would be prejudged or not encountered at all in real life, because people have set up defenses against it. Fantasy allows you to get past defenses.
你也可以明确指出某些社会问题,这些社会问题,在现实生活中,可能会受到偏见的影响,或者根本不会遇到,因为人们已经对它建立了防御。幻想让你突破自我防卫。
The earliest phase of social formations found in historical as well as in contemporary social structures is this: a relatively small circle firmly closed against neighboring, strange, or in some way antagonistic circles.
在历史和当代社会结构中发现的社会形态的最早阶段是这样的:一个相对较小的圆圈与相邻的、陌生的或在某种程度上对立的圆圈紧紧地封闭在一起。
I'm not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I don't really want it to carry one. I'm not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way.
我真的不确定我的艺术传达了什么社会信息,如果有的话。我不想让它带一个。我对这个主题不感兴趣,我不想教社会什么,也不想让我们的世界变得更好。
I'd actually say that every musician is a human being, and that not everybody likes being social. But with music, there are all these ingredients to the business that have nothing to do with writing songs or playing an instrument.
我想说的是,每个音乐家都是一个人,并不是每个人都喜欢社交。但在音乐方面,所有这些因素都与写歌或演奏乐器无关。
Markets are designed to allow individuals to look after their private needs and to pursue profit. It's really a great invention and I wouldn't under-estimate the value of that, but they're not designed to take care of social needs.
市场的设计是为了让个人照顾他们的私人需求和追求利润。这确实是一个伟大的发明,我不会低估它的价值,但它们并不是为了满足社会需求而设计的。
The fact that political ideologies are tangible realities is not a proof of their vitally necessary character. The bubonic plague was an extraordinarily powerful social reality, but no one would have regarded it as vitally necessary.
政治意识形态是有形的现实这一事实并不能证明其至关重要的必要性质。黑死病是一个非常强大的社会现实,但没有人会认为它是必不可少的。
No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa.
没有一个社会能够消除人类的悲伤,没有一个政治制度能够把我们从生活的痛苦、对死亡的恐惧和对绝对的渴望中解救出来。是人的条件决定了社会的条件,而不是社会条件决定人的条件。
We must carefully consider card security solutions, such as adding photographs or machine-readable electronic strips, so to prevent further breaches of individual privacy that could result from changes to the design of Social Security Cards.
我们必须认真考虑信用卡安全解决方案,例如添加照片或机器可读的电子条带,以防止由于社会保险卡设计的改变而进一步侵犯个人隐私。
There's been a lot said about Social Security reform. What has been left out of the debate is the double tax on Social Security benefits. I believe it's time to get rid of a tax that punishes seniors and discourages work and retirement savings.
关于社会保障改革有很多说法。辩论中被忽略的是对社会保障福利的双重征税。我认为是时候取消一项税收了,它会惩罚老年人,阻碍工作和退休储蓄。
I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.
我不禁担心,人们可能会把每一种新理论都看成是一种危险,把每一项创新都看成是一种辛苦的麻烦,把每一项社会进步都看成是走向革命的第一步,而他们可能会完全拒绝前进。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
To be social is to be forgiving.
社交就是宽恕。
The left has chosen the courts as a major battlefield over social issues.
左派选择法院作为社会问题的主要战场。
If I wanted to go be social I would. I don't have any fear of that. I don't feel like I'm a shy person at all.
如果我想要社交,我会的。我一点也不害怕。我一点也不觉得自己是个害羞的人。
Well, I think the social networking is really interesting.
嗯,我认为社交网络真的很有趣。
In an area where nothing was known, medicine had to draw on social lore.
在一个什么都不知道的领域,医学不得不借鉴社会知识。
Major social movements eventually fade into the landscape not because they have diminished but because they have become a permanent part of our perceptions and experience.
重大的社会运动最终会淡出人们的视野,不是因为它们已经减少,而是因为它们已经成为我们的感知和经验的一个永久组成部分。
