A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
行动
Action
As an instrument for practical action, law is responsive to the wisdom of its time, which may be wrong, but it carries forward, sometimes in opposition to this wisdom or passion, a memory of received values.
作为一种实际行动的工具,法律对其所处时代的智慧作出反应,虽然这种智慧可能是错误的,但它有时与这种智慧或激情背道而驰,将所接受的价值观发扬光大。
The first thing I do is lay out that melody and figure out how it has to hold here and then finish to land here, because you know in advance you're going to want the melody to catch four things in the action.
我要做的第一件事就是把旋律摆出来,弄清楚它是如何在这里保持的,然后在这里结束,因为你事先知道你想让旋律在动作中抓住四件事。
Class action lawsuits are an important part of our legal system. All citizens should have the right to band together and settle grievances with bigger companies, but that system is broken and it needs fixing.
集体诉讼是我国法律制度的重要组成部分。所有公民都应该有权团结起来,解决与大公司之间的不满,但这个体系已经崩溃,需要修复。
Decision is the spark that ignites action. Until a decision is made, nothing happens.... Decision is the courageous facing of issues, knowing that if they are not faced, problems will remain forever unanswered
决定是点燃行动的火花。在做出决定之前,什么都不会发生。决定是勇敢地面对问题,知道如果不面对问题,问题将永远得不到解答
As individuals, we will be judged in our lives by the totality of our actions. Not one thing will stand out. And I think that's how we get judged by our colleagues and that's how we get judged by the good lord.
作为个体,我们在生活中会被行为的总和所评判。没有一样能脱颖而出。我认为这就是我们如何被我们的同事评判的,也是我们如何被上帝评判的。
I was originally going to be a lawyer, and the only thing I remember from the art of cross-examination is - you can see this one coming up Sixth Avenue - never ask a question the answer to which you do not know.
我原本想成为一名律师,我从盘问的艺术中所记得的唯一一件事就是——你可以看到这幅画从第六大道走来——永远不要问一个你不知道答案的问题。
Coaches do so much research about a referee because they believe refereeing is such a crucial part of the game that the result may hinge on what we say or do. They probably know more about me than I know myself!
教练们对裁判做了很多研究,因为他们认为裁判在比赛中是如此重要的一部分,以至于结果可能取决于我们说什么或做什么。他们可能比我更了解我自己!
The most important thing you learn as a sports photographer is anticipation - not where the action is taking place, but where it's going to take place. Not where the subject is now, but where they're going to be.
作为一名体育摄影师,你学到的最重要的事情就是期待——不是动作发生在哪里,而是将要发生在哪里。不是主题现在在哪里,而是它们将在哪里。
Even within the band, if I cannot manage to persuade the members of what I see to be the next course of action, how do you expect the group to deal with the expectations of thousands of people. It is not possible.
即使是在乐队内部,如果我无法说服我所看到的下一个行动方案的成员,你如何期望这个团队能处理成千上万人的期望。这是不可能的。
It is the duty of men to judge men only by their actions. Our faculties furnish us with no means of arriving at the motive, the character, the secret self. We call the tree good from its fruits, and the man, from his works.
人们有责任仅从他们的行为来判断他们。我们的才能使我们无法达到动机、性格和秘密的自我。我们从果实中称树为善,从行为中称人为善。
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.Watch your words, for they become actions.Watch your actions, for they become habits.Watch your habits, for they become character.Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
注意你的思想,因为它们会变成言语。注意你的言语,因为它们会变成行动。注意你的行为,因为它们会成为习惯。注意你的习惯,因为它们会成为你的性格。注意你的性格,因为它会成为你的命运。
Amateurism is the strongest form of discrimination in sports. Because it discriminates against the underprivileged, it discriminates against the poor. If we want sports to go back to the wealthy, let's make it amateur again.
业余是体育运动中最强烈的歧视形式。因为它歧视弱势群体,它歧视穷人。如果我们想让体育回到富人的行列,就让它再次成为业余运动吧。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Instead of saying that man is the creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance.
与其说人是环境的产物,不如说人是环境的建筑师。
In our era, the road to holiness necessarily passes through the world of action.
在我们这个时代,通往圣洁的道路必然要经过行动的世界。
The theatre is supremely fitted to say: 'Behold! These things are.' Yet most dramatists employ it to say: 'This moral truth can be learned from beholding this action.'
剧院最适合说:“瞧!这些东西。然而,大多数剧作家都用它来表达:“这种道德真理可以从观看这种行为中学到。”
We are drawn to our television sets each April the way we are drawn to the scene of an accident.
每年四月,我们被电视机所吸引,就像我们被事故现场所吸引一样。
Fame is the echo of actions, resounding them to the world, save that the echo repeats only the last art, but fame relates all, and often more than all.
名声是行动的回声,向世界发出响亮的声音,只是回声只重复最后一种艺术,但名声与一切有关,而且往往比一切都重要。
Each decision we make, each action we take, is born out of an intention.
我们做的每一个决定,采取的每一个行动,都是出于一个意图。
