A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

斗争

Struggle

There are a lot of sacrifices a mother makes when she's raising a child by herself. I saw it when I was growing up, watching all my mother did for me. But it wasn't until recently that I fully understood the price she paid because of how we had to struggle.

当一个母亲独自抚养孩子时,她会做出很多牺牲。我在成长的过程中看到了这一点,看着妈妈为我所做的一切。但直到最近,我才完全理解她为我们如何挣扎而付出的代价。

It is fatal for any body of workers to have forever hanging from the fringes of its skirts other bodies on a level just below its own; for that means continual pressure downward, additional difficulty to be overcome in the struggle to maintain reasonable rates of wages.

任何工人的身体永远挂在比自己的身体略低的水平上的其他身体的边缘,这是致命的;因为这意味着持续的下行压力,在维持合理工资率的斗争中还要克服额外的困难。

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。

I can draw pencil lines to show something is moving, but if I'm writing, I struggle with how to write it. The boy ran down the hallway? The boy ran quickly down the hallway? The boy ran down the marble hallway? I agonize over the words. So my editor works very hard. I'm lucky to have her.

我可以用铅笔画出运动的物体,但如果我在写作,我就会纠结于如何去写。那个男孩跑过走廊?男孩飞快地跑下走廊。男孩跑下大理石走廊?我为这些话而苦恼。所以我的编辑工作非常努力。我很幸运有她。

My biggest thing has always been privacy. With an interview such as this where the questions are about me, I struggle to express myself. I have an immediate answer in my head of what I'd say, but sometimes I feel that it would be too honest. So these wheels of censorship start going around my head.

我最大的事情就是隐私。在这样的面试中,问题都是关于我自己的,我很难表达自己。我对自己想说的话有一个直接的答案,但有时我觉得这太诚实了。所以这些审查的车轮开始绕着我的脑袋转。

The basis of drama is... the struggle of the hero towards a specific goal at the end of which he realises that what kept him from it was, in the lesser drama, civilisation and, in the great drama, the discovery of something that he did not set out to discover but which can be seen retrospectively as inevitable.

戏剧的基础是……英雄的斗争结束时对一个具体的目标,他意识到,让他从它是什么,在较小的戏剧,文明,在伟大的戏剧,发现他没有开始发现,但可以看到回顾是不可避免的。

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。
