A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
故事
Story
I'm not going to name some of my colleagues who are very well-known for their television presentation, but they wouldn't know new information or how to report a story if it came up and bit them.
我不打算说出我的一些同事的名字,他们都是非常有名的电视节目主持人,但是他们不会知道新的信息,也不知道如何报道一个新闻,如果这个新闻出现在他们面前,对他们不利的话。
Sometimes, I have themes that interest me or that touch on larger issues but, really, I'm just trying to figure out the plot, or how the characters work. I'm trying to make the best story I possibly can.
有时,我有自己感兴趣的主题,或者触及更大的问题,但实际上,我只是想弄清楚情节,或者人物是如何工作的。我在尽我所能写出最好的故事。
If you're a reporter, the easiest thing in the world is to get a story. The hardest thing is to verify. The old sins were about getting something wrong, that was a cardinal sin. The new sin is to be boring.
如果你是一个记者,世界上最简单的事情就是得到一个故事。最难的是验证。以前的罪是犯了错误,这是主要的罪。新的罪是无聊。
I never told a victim story about my imprisonment. Instead, I told a transformation story - about how prison changed my outlook, about how I saw that communication, truth, and trust are at the heart of power.
我从来没有讲过我被监禁的受害者的故事。相反,我讲述了一个转变的故事——关于监狱如何改变了我的看法,关于我如何看待沟通、真相和信任是权力的核心。
I never take ideas from the headlines. I feel that if a story is good enough, a real story that is, then it's already been covered by the media, and if it's not good enough, why would I want to bother with it?
我从不从头条新闻中汲取灵感。我觉得如果一个故事足够好,一个真实的故事,那么它就已经被媒体报道过了,如果它不够好,我为什么还要为它费心呢?
A biopic would have required hiring an actor, and I always wanted to just let Bobby be Bobby. My thought was it would make it a more universal story to focus on ordinary people rather than this extraordinary man.
传记片需要雇一个演员,我一直想让鲍比演鲍比。我的想法是,把焦点放在普通人身上,而不是这个非凡的人,会让这个故事变得更加普遍。
The professionalism of wire service reporters is constantly being tested because reporters know that if they're late or sloppy on a story, it will show up because the competition is likely to be not late and not sloppy.
通讯社记者的专业性不断受到考验,因为记者知道,如果他们在报道中迟到或马虎,就会暴露出来,因为竞争很可能不会迟到或马虎。
I'll tell you what I miss most. What I would love to do, more than anything, is just anthologies. With an anthology you can tell any story and be in every division of television. We don't have any anthologies anymore, do we?
我会告诉你我最想念什么。我最喜欢做的就是选集。有了一本选集,你就可以讲述任何故事,进入电视的每一个部门。我们再也没有选集了,是吗?
The great thing about Pete and Peggy's storyline is that you barely have to do anything. There's so much there, so much history, that you can have them exchange a look and it's so loaded. So you honestly don't have to do anything.
皮特和佩吉故事情节的伟大之处在于,你几乎不需要做任何事情。那里有那么多,那么多的历史,你可以让他们交换一下看法,它是如此的丰富多彩。所以你不需要做任何事情。
In any story, the villain is the catalyst. The hero's not a person who will bend the rules or show the cracks in his armor. He's one-dimensional intentionally, but the villain is the person who owns up to what he is and stands by it.
在任何故事中,反派都是催化剂。英雄不是一个会违反规则或暴露自己盔甲上的裂缝的人。他故意表现得很单向度,但反面角色是那些承认自己是谁并坚持自己立场的人。
My friend, I am going to tell you the story of my life, as you wish; and if it were only the story of my life I think I would not tell it; for what is one man that he should make much of his winters, even when they bend him like a heavy snow?
我的朋友,我将如你所愿,讲述我的人生故事;如果这只是我生命的故事,我想我就不会讲了;一个人怎样才能充分利用他的冬天,即使冬天像大雪一样使他弯腰曲背?
There I was limited to what happened the same way I am with Riel. It doesn't feel like a great burden to have your story, to some degree, set. I am enjoying figuring out what I think is the most dramatic way of telling this set of historical facts.
在那里,我受到了限制,就像我和瑞尔在一起时一样。在某种程度上,把你的故事设定好并不是一个很大的负担。我很乐意找出我认为讲述这一系列历史事实的最戏剧化的方式。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending.
我喜欢把假期比作孩子听自己喜欢的故事。快乐在于故事以熟悉的方式开始,期待熟悉的转折,熟悉的悬念时刻,熟悉的高潮和结局。
In this one book are the two most interesting personalities in the whole world - God and yourself. The Bible is the story of God and man, a love story in which you and I must write our own ending, our unfinished autobiography of the creature and the Creator.
在这本书里有两个世界上最有趣的人物——上帝和你自己。圣经是上帝和人类的故事,是一个爱的故事,你我必须在其中写下我们自己的结局,我们未完成的生物和造物主的自传。
Everyone has a story that will stop your heart.
每个人都有一个故事可以让你停止心跳。
The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it.
你和你的目标之间唯一的障碍就是你不断告诉自己为什么你不能实现它的胡扯故事。
I try to tell a story the way someone would tell you a story in a bar, with the same kind of timing and pacing.
我试着用酒吧里别人讲故事的方式讲故事,用同样的时间和节奏。
They say a story loses something with each telling.
他们说一个故事每讲一次都会失去一些东西。
