A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
一个人
Someone
Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light, but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life.
死亡是这样一个人,你能清楚地看到他,他的眼睛就在你的心脏的中心:他的眼睛不是通过对光线的反应而看到的,而是通过对来自你生命骨髓中的一种寒意的反应而看到的。
I'm terrified of men these days. If someone asked me out now, I don't know what I'd say, how I'd react. But I couldn't go through with it, not at all. I suppose I've been terrified of them all along.
这些天我很怕男人。如果现在有人约我出去,我不知道我会说什么,会有什么反应。但我不能忍受,一点也不能。我想我一直都很怕他们。
Now on the other hand, if someone is selling a product, opening a dance studio, or has some other aim to help themselves, then I tend to look askance at some of these strange stories from outer space.
另一方面,如果有人在卖产品,开舞蹈室,或者有其他的目的来帮助自己,那么我倾向于用怀疑的眼光来看待这些来自外太空的奇怪故事。
Have you ever heard a good joke? If you've ever heard someone just right, with the right pacing, then you're already on the way to poetry. It's about using words in very precise ways and using gesture.
你听过好笑话吗?如果你曾经听过某人恰到好处,节奏恰到好处,那么你已经踏上了诗歌之路。它是关于以非常精确的方式使用语言和使用手势。
That is perceptive of you, because in this country men dancers have always been viewed with suspicion. If you were an actor, a star, and a dancer, you had to be, or have a name like someone "mainstream."
这是你的洞察力,因为在这个国家,男舞者总是被怀疑。如果你是一个演员,一个明星,一个舞者,你必须是,或者有一个像“主流”的名字。
From the age of six I wanted to be an artist. At that point I meant a painter, but it turned out what I really meant was I was someone who was very interested in watching the world and making copies of it.
从六岁起,我就想成为一名艺术家。当时我指的是画家,但事实证明我真正的意思是我是一个对观察世界和复制世界非常感兴趣的人。
Love is tested in so many ways. How do I articulate this? Two people are together. There are stakes, strife, struggles, all these things that make us fall for someone, love someone even more, leave someone.
爱情在很多方面都受到考验。我该怎么说呢?两个人在一起。有风险,冲突,挣扎,所有这些都让我们爱上一个人,更爱一个人,离开一个人。
In Paris they have special wheelchairs that go through every doorway. They don't change the doorways, they change the wheelchairs. To hell with the people! If someone weighs a couple more pounds, that's it!
在巴黎,他们有一种特殊的轮椅,可以通过每个门口。他们不换门口,他们换轮椅。该死的人!如果有人比你重几磅,那就对了!
It is nasty. You can think that you know someone in this business and you really don't. You can be stabbed in the back very easily. You can be praised very easily. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do.
这是令人讨厌的。你可以认为你认识这个行业的某个人,但实际上你并不认识。你很容易被背后捅一刀。你很容易受到表扬。你是谁或者你做什么并不重要。
Often as a child you see someone with a learning disability or Down's Syndrome and my mum and dad were always very quick to explain exactly what was going on and to be in their own way inclusive and welcoming.
当我还是个孩子的时候,你经常会看到有学习障碍或唐氏综合症的人,我的父母总是很快地解释到底发生了什么,并以他们自己的方式包容和欢迎。
I remember talking to someone early on after I was sober about how I suddenly felt awkward at parties. They said, 'Well, you're supposed to. Everyone feels awkward at parties.' It's an appropriate feeling to feel.
我记得在我清醒的时候,我和一个人聊过我在聚会上突然觉得很尴尬。他们说,‘好吧,你应该这么做。每个人在聚会上都感到尴尬。这是一种恰当的感觉。
To be loved is important as is having a sense of accomplishment but to love is equally important in life especially when it is combined with taking action to do something for someone else to make their life better.
被爱和成就感一样重要,但爱在生活中同样重要,尤其是当它与为他人做些事情,使他们的生活更好的时候。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Loving someone when you're with someone else is like eating paper when there's chocolate in front of you.
当你和别人在一起的时候爱一个人就像你面前有巧克力吃的时候爱一张纸。
Someone who always has to lie discovers that every one of his lies is true.
一个总是说谎的人发现他的每一个谎言都是真的。
The worst feeling isn't being lonely but being forgotten by someone you can't forget.
最糟糕的感觉不是孤独,而是被一个你无法忘记的人遗忘。
I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it.
我尊重那些充满激情的人。我做的事。但当一个人是法官时,他们不应该把这个带到法官席上。并不是真正的激情,除非在极少数情况下,能很好地服务于板凳席。而是一种理解法律并遵循法律的能力。
Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you'll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone.
言语可以把一个人撕成碎片,也可以把它们重新组合在一起。我希望你好好利用你的语言,因为只有那些你故意用来伤害别人的话,才会让你比那些没有说出口的话更后悔。
