A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
社会
Social
It is bad policy to regulate everything... where things may better regulate themselves and can be better promoted by private exertions; but it is no less bad policy to let those things alone which can only be promoted by interfering social power.
监管一切是糟糕的政策……在那里,事情可以更好地自我调节,通过私人努力可以得到更好的促进;但是,不去管那些只能通过干预社会权力来推动的事情,同样是糟糕的政策。
By measuring the proportion of children living with the same parents from birth and whether their parents report a good quality relationship we are driving home the message that social programmes should promote family stability and avert breakdown.
通过测量从出生起就与同一父母生活在一起的儿童的比例,以及他们的父母是否报告有良好的质量关系,我们正在向人们传达这样一个信息:社会项目应促进家庭稳定,避免家庭破裂。
I do love to shop. But I'm a social shopper. I like to do it while hanging out with my friends. Some of them hate shopping because they treat it like something you have to plan, like a grocery list. But if I'm out and I pass a store, I just pop in.
我喜欢购物。但我是一个社交购物者。我喜欢和朋友们出去玩的时候这样做。有些人讨厌购物,因为他们把购物看成是你必须计划的事情,比如购物清单。但是如果我出去了,路过一家商店,我就会进去。
Specifically, I am concerned about the long-term condition of Social Security. I am committed to ensuring that current beneficiaries and those nearing retirement face no reduction in benefits, while preserving this vital program for future generations.
具体来说,我关心的是社会保障的长期状况。我致力于确保当前受益人和那些即将退休的人的福利不会减少,同时为子孙后代保留这一至关重要的计划。
Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?
人类的成长是一个独特的社会关系问题,而不是生物学问题。我们从家庭内部的联系中学到的东西取代了动物行为的本能;这就提出了一个问题,这些联系有多好?
We do not discuss the anatomical, physiological, and mental characteristics of man considered as an individual; but we are interested in the diversity of these traits in groups of men found in different geographical areas and in different social classes.
我们不讨论作为个体的人的解剖、生理和心理特征;但我们感兴趣的是,在不同地理区域和不同社会阶层的男性群体中,这些特征的多样性。
So after the Lewinsky scandal, everything changed, and we moved from using the Bible to address the moral issues of our time, which were social, to moral issues of our time that were very personal. I have continued that relationship up until the present.
莱温斯基丑闻之后,一切都变了,我们从用圣经来解决我们这个时代的道德问题,社会问题,到我们这个时代的道德问题,非常个人化。我一直保持着这种关系,直到现在。
As far as service goes, it can take the form of a million things. To do service, you don't have to be a doctor working in the slums for free, or become a social worker. Your position in life and what you do doesn't matter as much as how you do what you do.
就服务而言,它可以以上百万种形式出现。要想服务他人,你不必成为一名免费在贫民窟工作的医生,也不必成为一名社会工作者。你在生活中的地位和你做什么并不重要,重要的是你如何做你所做的。
That was the first major social sciences conference at which social scientists from all cultures wanted to reach a consensus on whether we can continue to pursue a national course in the social sciences or whether we need a cosmopolitan path that also connects us in a new way.
这是第一次有来自不同文化背景的社会科学家参加的大型社会科学会议,他们希望就我们是否可以继续在社会科学方面走全国性的道路,或者我们是否需要一条以新的方式将我们联系起来的世界性道路达成共识。
No matter where you are in your life, whatever set of people you're with, it all still breaks down like high school does. You have your social cliques, you have the people you get along with, the people you don't and the people you're ambivalent about. All of the dynamics are still here.
不管你在生活的哪个阶段,不管你和什么样的人在一起,这一切都会像高中一样崩溃。你有自己的社交圈,有和你相处融洽的人,有和你格格不入的人,还有让你矛盾的人。所有的动力都在这里。
Social media is a giant distraction to the ultimate aim, which is honing your craft as a songwriter. There are people who are exceptional at it, however, and if you can do both things, then that's fantastic, but if you are a writer, the time is better spent on a clever lyric than a clever tweet.
社交媒体极大地分散了你对最终目标的注意力,而最终目标是磨练你作为一名作曲家的写作技巧。然而,也有一些人在这方面很特别,如果你能同时做到这两件事,那就太好了,但如果你是一个作家,花时间写一首聪明的歌词比发一条聪明的推特更好。
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 power of social media is it forces necessary change.
社交媒体的力量在于它推动了必要的变革。
I believe photos is one of the underlying things in every social network that becomes successful.
我相信照片是每个成功的社交网络的基本要素之一。
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。
Gentleman: one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.
绅士:从不无意中伤害别人感情的人。
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。
