A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
故事
Stories
I'm not so presumptuous to feel that they're gonna get it right away, get exactly what I have in mind. I hope that they'll enjoy looking at it at any rate, whatever it is. And that's why I started writing stories on my work.
我没有那么冒昧地认为他们马上就能拿到，完全符合我的想法。无论如何，我希望他们会喜欢看它，不管它是什么。这就是为什么我开始写关于我工作的故事。
They may well say not only is this not true, but I will put in an injunction to prevent publication. No, stories don't go in unless I'm convinced by the people who write them that they're true. And if I'm wrong, then so be it.
他们很可能会说，这不仅不是真的，而且我还会发布禁令，禁止发表。不，除非我被写这些故事的人说服，相信它们是真实的，否则我是不会写这些故事的。如果我错了，那就算了。
Stories had always been told about male genies coming out of bottles, but they were usually fat, old men. Never had the genie been a gorgeous woman, so that idea really appealed to me, and I created the series based on that premise.
人们总是说男精灵会从瓶子里出来，但他们通常都是又胖又老的男人。精灵从来都不是一个漂亮的女人，所以这个想法真的吸引了我，我基于这个前提创作了这个系列。
Rather than doing the kind of fact-checking that normally goes with a story, you ran with certain stories for not wanting to get beat. There's a pressure that exists in your profession. I would be surprised in any honest exchange that you say that doesn't exist.
而不是做那种通常与一个故事一起进行的事实核查，你运行某些故事是为了不被打败。在你的职业中存在着一种压力。在任何诚实的交流中，如果你说那不存在，我会感到惊讶。
My father, if anything, first and last, was a man of words. He loved stories; he didn't live for stories, exactly, but I think he lived through stories. I think, like many writers, he loved stories about things he had experienced as much as, if not more than, he loved the experiences themselves.
如果说我的父亲有什么不同的话，那就是他首先是一个说话算数的人。他爱的故事;确切地说，他不是为故事而活，但我认为他是通过故事而活的。我想，和许多作家一样，他喜欢讲述自己经历过的事情的故事，就像他喜欢亲身经历一样多，甚至更多。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
My father used to say that stories are part of the most precious heritage of mankind.
我父亲常说故事是人类最宝贵遗产的一部分。
The best stories don't come from "good vs. bad" but "good vs. good.
最好的故事不是来自“好与坏”，而是“好与好”。
Stories are like a river that flows - you dip a bucket in it.
故事就像一条流淌的河流——你把桶浸在里面。
We speak of stories ending, when in truth it is we who end. The stories go on and on.
当我们谈论故事的结局时，实际上是我们自己在结束。故事还在继续。
If the storytellers told it true, all stories would end in death. But that will come in time...Not today.
如果讲故事的人讲的是真的，所有的故事都会以死亡告终。但那迟早会到来……不是今天。
I don't recall having any self-awareness about the intricacy of my stories.
我不记得自己对错综复杂的故事有过任何自我意识。
