A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
斗争
Struggle
I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day.
我很幸运来自一个困难的地区。它不仅教你足球，还教你生活。有许多来自不同种族和贫困家庭的孩子。人们不得不挣扎着度过这一天。
There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars, mansions, cars, nice clothes, beautiful women, and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace.
曾经有一段时间，我以为自己拥有了一切——数百万美元、豪宅、汽车、漂亮的衣服、漂亮的女人，以及你能想象到的一切物质上的东西。现在我为和平而奋斗。
The struggle for existence holds as much in the intellectual as in the physical world. A theory is a species of thinking, and its right to exist is coextensive with its power of resisting extinction by its rivals.
生存的斗争不仅存在于物质世界，也存在于精神世界。理论是一种思维，它的生存权与它抵抗竞争对手灭绝的能力是相辅相成的。
Berlin is still going through a transition since the Cold War - both in what used to be East and West Berlin. I can still sense the confusion and the struggle for identity there in the streets. There's a pulse to it.
自冷战以来，柏林仍在经历转型——无论是在曾经的东柏林还是西柏林。我仍然能感觉到街上的混乱和对身份的挣扎。这是有脉搏的。
The only history is a mere question of one's struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.
唯一的历史只是一个人内心斗争的问题。但这就是它的乐趣所在。一个人既不需要发现美洲，也不需要征服其他国家，然而他要做的工作却和哥伦布或亚历山大一样伟大。
And so many of the kinds of labels you get stuck with don't really tell the story; Progressive, Art Rock, Noise Music, Downtown - it ends up being a struggle to stay out of debates that other people are having around you.
很多你被贴上的标签并不能说明问题;进步主义，艺术摇滚，噪音音乐，闹市区——这最终成为一种挣扎，远离周围其他人的辩论。
If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.
如果我们仅仅因为野兽不能阻止我们，因为我们在为生存而斗争中支持自己的一方，那么出于同样的原因而把蠢货、罪犯、敌人或资本家斩了，也就合乎逻辑了。
I've really been sick with this cold, but I think I might have kept the columns going anyhow except I was just so low in spirit, I didn't have the will to struggle against them when my deadline was so close and I felt so lousy.
我真的是感冒了，但是我想我本来可以继续写专栏的，只是我的精神太低落了，在截止日期这么近，我感觉很糟糕的时候，我没有意志和它们斗争。
I had one year of struggle. My parents were always there, but I didn't want to rely on them. Now it's moving pretty fast. I'm not rich, but obviously this is fantastic. All I know to do with money is put it in a shoebox anyway.
我挣扎了一年。我的父母总是在那里，但我不想依赖他们。现在它移动得相当快。我并不富有，但很明显这很棒。我只知道把钱放在鞋盒里就行了。
One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. Therefore, the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, "I have it," merely shows by doing so that he has just lost it.
自由的一个特点是，只要人们为之奋斗，自由就会不断扩大。因此，一个人站在斗争的中心说:“我拥有它”，这仅仅表明他已经失去了它。
Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.
科学的观点在敬畏和神秘中结束，迷失在不确定的边缘，但它们似乎是如此深刻和令人印象深刻，以至于把它作为上帝观看人类为善恶斗争的舞台的理论似乎是不够的。
It is idle to say that nations can struggle to outdo each other in building armaments and never use them. History demonstrates the contrary, and we have but to go back to the last war to see the appalling effect of nations competing in great armaments.
说各国在建设军备方面能够相互竞争而永远不使用军备，这是毫无根据的。历史恰恰相反，我们只要回顾上次战争，就可以看到各国在强大军备中竞争的可怕后果。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Sometimes you struggle so hard to feed your family one way, you forget to feed them the other way, with spiritual nourishment. Everybody needs that.
有时候，你如此努力地用一种方式养活你的家人，却忘了用另一种方式来养活他们，那就是精神食粮。每个人都需要。
In the struggle between yourself and the world second the world.
在自己与世界第二世界的斗争中。
I feel my belief in sacrifice and struggle getting stronger. I despise the kind of existence that clings to the miserly trifles of comfort and self-interest. I think that a man should not live beyond the age when he begins to deteriorate, when the flame that lighted the brightest moment of his life has weakened.
我感到我对牺牲和奋斗的信念越来越强烈。我鄙视那种紧紧抓住舒适和私利这些微不足道的小事不放的生活。我认为，一个人不应该活到他开始衰老的年龄，当照亮他生命中最辉煌时刻的火焰已经减弱的时候。
One friend with whom you have a lot in common is better than three with whom you struggle to find things to talk about.
一个和你有很多共同之处的朋友胜过三个和你一起努力寻找话题的朋友。
Don't feel entitled to anything you didn't sweat and struggle for.
不要觉得自己有权拥有任何你不曾为之付出汗水和奋斗的东西。
This is the sea of life, and I'm drownin I know I can swim, but feel like I keep sinkin down in these waters and I cain't breathe, I feel like I'm gon' blow it. I can see people holdin a life jacket but they won't throw it. Entertained by my struggle and they'd love to see me die.
这是生命的海洋，而我却淹没在其中。我知道我会游泳，但我感觉自己一直在下沉，无法呼吸，我感觉我要把它吹走了。我能看到人们拿着救生衣，但他们不会扔。我的挣扎让他们很开心，他们很乐意看到我死去。
