A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
故事
Story
So many of the recipes that I come up with have a story. I'm a blogger. It flowed very naturally out of me, but I also knew this was a way to set my recipes apart. A, they are always using interesting ingredients but B, there is always a story behind it.
我想到的很多食谱都有一个故事。我是一个博客。它很自然地从我体内流出，但我也知道这是一种让我的食谱与众不同的方法。第一，他们总是使用有趣的原料，但是第二，这背后总是有一个故事。
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。
I enjoyed doing the gag covers better than the story ones because they were usually simpler. A cover based on an incident in the plot took a great deal of staging to tell a little story that was still part of the book. And it had to make sense on its own.
我喜欢把插科打诨的封面做得比故事封面好，因为它们通常比较简单。以故事情节中的一个事件为基础的封面，经过了大量的舞台表演，讲述了一个仍在书中的小故事。它必须要有自己的意义。
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。
I learned that I never really know the true story of my guests' lives, that I have to content myself with knowing that when I'm interviewing somebody, I'm getting a combination of fact and truth and self-mythology and self-delusion and selective memory and faulty memory.
我意识到，我从来没有真正了解过我的客人的真实生活，我必须满足于知道，当我采访某人时，我得到的是事实与真相、自我神话、自我欺骗、选择性记忆和错误记忆的结合。
The benefit of this kind of outlining is that you discover a story's flaws before you invest a lot of time writing the first draft, and it's almost impossible to get stuck at a difficult chapter, because you've already done the work to push through those kinds of blocks.
这样做的好处是，在花大量时间写初稿之前，你就能发现故事的缺陷，而且你几乎不可能在一个困难的章节卡住，因为你已经做了很多工作来克服这些障碍。
I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves, whether it's shyness, insecurity, anxiety, whether it's a physical block, and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It's truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day.
我认为我们和最好的自己之间都有障碍，无论是害羞、不安全感、焦虑，还是身体上的障碍，以及一个人克服这些障碍达到最好自我的故事。这真的很鼓舞人心，因为我认为我们所有人每天都在做这件事。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
There are two sides to every story.
每个故事都有两面。
Arithmetic is the death of story.
算术是故事的终结。
The short story form allows evocation, suggestion, implication. Its potency often lies in what it does not say.
短篇小说的形式允许唤起、暗示和暗示。它的力量往往在于它没有说什么。
A story just isn't a story without a dragon.
没有龙的故事就不是故事。
One wants to tell a story, like Scheherazade, in order not to die. It's one of the oldest urges in mankind. It's a way of stalling death.
人们想要讲述一个故事，就像山鲁佐德一样，为了不死。这是人类最古老的欲望之一。这是一种拖延死亡的方式。
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。
