A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
生存
Survive
For some years I have spent my time on exactly these questions - both in thinking about ways to prevent war, and in thinking about how to fight, survive, and terminate a war, should it occur.
多年来,我一直在思考这些问题——既思考如何防止战争,又思考如何在战争发生时战斗、生存和结束战争。
Time has transfigured them into Untruth. The stone fidelity They hardly meant has come to be Their final blazon, and to prove Our almost-instinct almost true: What will survive of us is love.
时间把他们变成了谎言。他们几乎没有想到的石头般的忠诚已经成为他们最后的闪耀,并证明了我们几乎是真实的本能:我们能活下来的是爱。
Tool wondered if the girl was going mad. It happened to people. Sometimes they saw too much and their minds went away. They lost the will to survive. They curled up and surrendered to madness.
工具想知道这个女孩是不是疯了。它发生在人身上。有时候,他们看得太多,就会走神。他们失去了生存的意志。他们蜷缩起来,向疯狂投降。
The new industrial revolution is a two-edged sword. It may be used for the benefit of humanity, assuming that humanity survives long enough to reach a period in which such a benefit is possible.
新工业革命是一把双刃剑。它可能被用于造福人类,假设人类生存的时间足够长,能够达到这样一种利益可能存在的时期。
Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory.
消灭他们,他们才会生存;把他们扔进一个致命的境地,他们就会活下来。当人们陷入危险时,他们才能够争取胜利。
I have friends that are much better actors than I am that had to quit the business because they couldn't survive the auditions or the rejections, or people just didn't realize how good they were.
我有比我更优秀的演员朋友,他们不得不退出演艺圈,因为他们无法在试镜或拒绝中生存下来,或者人们没有意识到他们有多优秀。
Life is an error-making and an error-correcting process, and nature in marking man's papers will grade him for wisdom as measured both by survival and by the quality of life of those who survive.
生活是一个不断犯错和纠正错误的过程,大自然在批改人类的论文时,会用生存和幸存者的生活质量来衡量人类的智慧。
Any comic is a tragic soul. Comedy is one of the things that allows one to survive. Particularly if one has been in the process of separating off the emotions, it's one place you can process them.

No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.

Every day we do get closer to a cure. Three out of four children who are diagnosed with cancer will survive the disease, but that is not good enough. The loss of one child to this disease is too much.

A perfectly happy marriage? There is no such thing. There are strong marriages that can survive problems, but happiness is such a brief condition, interrupted by difficulties and plain, boring routine.

I went into acting because I had to make a good living. I had a child now and I had to support him any way I could... I wasn't happy, but I wasn't unhappy. I was just doing what I had to do to survive.
我进入演艺圈是因为我必须过得很好。我现在有了一个孩子,我必须尽我所能支持他……我不快乐,但我并不不快乐。我只是在做我必须做的来生存。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
She’d survived the Drowned Cities because she wasn’t anything like Mouse. When the bullets started flying and warlords started making examples of peacekeeper collaborators, Mahlia had kept her head down, instead of standing up like Mouse. She’d looked out for herself, first. And because of that, she’d survived.
她在被淹没的城市里活了下来,因为她一点也不像老鼠。当子弹开始飞起,军阀们开始为维和部队的合作者们树立榜样时,马莉亚一直保持着低着头的姿态,而不是像老鼠一样站着。她首先要照顾好自己。正因为如此,她活了下来。
I am born here among the monsters; if I have to survive I must act like one of them.
