A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
东西
Something
The second thing is, if you want to do something about global warming, you have to think much more long-term. There is something wrong with saying we should start using renewables now, while they are still incredibly expensive.
第二件事是，如果你想为全球变暖做点什么，你必须考虑得更长远。说我们现在就应该开始使用可再生能源是不对的，因为它们仍然非常昂贵。
You always do what you want to do. This is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something, or that you were forced to, but actually, whatever you do, you do by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself.
你总是做你想做的事。每一个动作都是如此。你可能会说你不得不做某事，或者你是被迫的，但实际上，无论你做什么，你都是自愿的。只有你有能力为自己做出选择。
Minor Threat was an important band, believe me that it was important it in my life, but it belongs to an era that no longer exists. I'm not nostalgic. I think music today is much more important, because something can be done about it.
小威胁是一个重要的乐队，相信我，它在我的生活中很重要，但它属于一个不再存在的时代。我不是怀旧。我认为今天的音乐更重要，因为我们可以做些什么。
If you're doing something new you've got to have a vision. You've got to have a perspective. You've got to have some north star you're aiming for, and you just believe somehow you'll get there, which kind of gets to the passion point.
如果你在做一些新的事情，你必须有一个愿景。你必须有自己的观点。你必须有一个你的目标北极星，你只是相信你会以某种方式到达那里，这就到达了激情点。
You can give men food and leisure and amusements and good conditions of work, and still they will remain unsatisfied. You can deny them all these things, and they will not complain so long as they feel that they have something to die for.
你可以给人食物、闲暇、娱乐和良好的工作条件，但他们仍然不满足。你可以否认他们所有的这些，只要他们觉得有什么值得为之牺牲的东西，他们就不会抱怨。
We get these overzealous young men and their girlfriends. It's happened occasionally where one of them will lean up against the front of the stage and the guy is behind her, and it starts off as just dancing and then it gets into something more.
我们有这些过分热情的年轻人和他们的女朋友。这种情况偶尔会发生，他们中的一个人靠在舞台的前面，那个男人在她的后面，一开始只是跳舞，然后就进入了另一个阶段。
But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it.
但是当我画一幅画的时候，我会从一幅画开始画，但是我会在画中加入一些我非常确定我想要的东西，然后用印刷的点或彩纸在画上拼贴，在我真正投入之前。
I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we - we own this country. We - we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.
女士们，先生们，我想说几句话。我认为这是非常重要的。是你，我们，我们拥有这个国家。我们拥有它。不是你拥有它，也不是政客拥有它。政客是我们的雇员。
Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
很少有人有真正的艺术才能。因此，通过努力来刺激局势既不合适，也没有效果。如果你有一种强烈的，不安分的写作或绘画的冲动，只要吃点甜食，这种感觉就会过去。
Liquid architecture. It's like jazz - you improvise, you work together, you play off each other, you make something, they make something. And I think it's a way of - for me, it's a way of trying to understand the city, and what might happen in the city.
液体的架构。这就像爵士乐——你即兴创作，你一起工作，你互相竞争，你创造一些东西，他们创造一些东西。我认为这是一种方式，对我来说，这是一种尝试了解这个城市，以及这个城市可能发生什么的方式。
You can go up in the air and everything is gone. You know, you don't think about baseball. You don't think about anything. It's just something that takes you away from everyday life. I love being in a plane and looking down to see traffic on the freeway.
你可以飞到空中，一切都消失了。你知道，你不会想到棒球。你什么都不想。它只是把你从日常生活中带走的东西。我喜欢坐在飞机上，向下看高速公路上的交通。
Well, I used to have a sister, but I never got to meet her because she died after two days, I think. So if I got a tattoo, it would probably have to be something to do with my sister. I actually want to get a tattoo when I'm older of something about her.
嗯，我以前有个妹妹，但是我从来没有见过她，因为她两天后就死了，我想。所以如果我有纹身，很可能和我妹妹有关。等我长大了，我真想给她纹个纹身。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
You never realize what a good memory you have until you try to forget something.
你永远不会意识到你有多么好的记忆力，直到你试图忘记一些事情。
It is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it.
孤独是好的，因为孤独是困难的;有些事情是困难的，这一定是我们做这件事的一个原因。
That's why I survived because I still believe I've got something to say.
这就是我活下来的原因，因为我仍然相信我还有话要说。
What is inherently wrong with the word 'politician' if the fellow has devoted his life to holding public office and trying to do something for his people?
如果一个人把他的一生都奉献给了担任公职，并试图为他的人民做些什么，那么“政治家”这个词本身就有什么问题?
Think twice before you speak - and you'll find everyone talking about something else.
三思而后行——你会发现每个人都在谈论别的事情。
Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.
有些事情没有按照你的计划去做并不意味着它毫无用处。
