A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
演讲
Speech
So the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is out there preserving and fighting for, and sometimes winning and sometimes losing, the fight for First Amendment rights in comics and, more generally, for freedom of speech.
所以漫画书法律辩护基金一直在保护和争取,有时赢有时输,为漫画的第一修正案权利而战,更广泛地说,为言论自由而战。
The task is to investigate speech sounds in relation to the meanings with which they are invested, i.e., sounds viewed as signifiers, and above all to throw light on the structure of the relation between sounds and meaning.
这项任务是研究语音与它们所赋予的意义之间的关系。,声音被视为能指,最重要的是阐明声音和意义之间关系的结构。
According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.
根据大多数研究,人们最害怕的是公开演讲。第二个是死亡。死亡是第二位的。听起来对吗?这意味着,对于一般人来说,如果你去参加一个葬礼,你最好躺在棺材里,而不是做悼词。
Vague and mysterious forms of speech, and abuse of language, have so long passed for mysteries of science; and hard or misapplied words with little or no meaning have, by prescription, such a right to be mistaken for deep learning and height of specu.
模糊而神秘的语言形式,以及滥用语言,长久以来一直被认为是科学的奥秘;按照惯例,没有什么意义或意义不大的硬词或误用词有权利被误认为是深奥的学问和高度的专业知识。
So sometimes the facts are good and sometimes the facts are bad, the important thing from the point of view of a principle as broad and important as freedom of speech is that the courts articulate and set forth in a very protective way what those principles are.
因此,有时事实是好的,有时事实是坏的,从像言论自由一样广泛和重要的原则的观点来看,重要的事情是法院以一种非常保护的方式阐明这些原则是什么。
It just seems to be a human trait to want to protect the speech of people with whom we agree. For the First Amendment, that is not good enough. So it is really important that we protect First Amendment rights of people no matter what side of the line they are on.
想要保护与我们意见一致的人的言论似乎是人类的一种特性。对于第一修正案来说,这还不够好。因此,保护第一修正案赋予人们的权利是非常重要的,无论他们站在哪一边。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
有效的领导不是演讲或讨人喜欢;领导力是由结果而不是属性来定义的。
Any man who makes a speech more than six times a year is bound to repeat himself, not because he has little to say, but because he wants applause and the old stuff gets it.
任何一年演讲超过六次的人注定要重复自己的演讲,不是因为他没什么可说的,而是因为他想要掌声,而老东西能得到掌声。
It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.
我通常要花三个多星期来准备一篇好的即席演讲。
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
无论我们说什么,都应该谨慎选择,因为人们会听到并受到他们的影响,无论是好是坏。
Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.
说话要得体,尽量少说话,但一定要简明扼要;因为言语的结局,不是炫耀,乃是叫人明白。
Speech is conveniently located midway between thought and action, where it often substitutes for both.
语言位于思想和行动之间,很方便,常常在那里两者都能被替代。
