A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
生存
Survive
One of the reasons we survive as a band is that we are seen as a band of today. We don't want to be seen as a band that tours and plays old songs. We feel that we are making the best music of our careers.
我们作为一个乐队存活下来的原因之一是，我们被视为今天的乐队。我们不想被看作是一个巡回演唱老歌的乐队。我们觉得我们正在创造我们职业生涯中最好的音乐。
The idea for which this nation stands will not survive if the highest goal free man can set themselves is an amiable mediocrity. Excellence implies striving for the highest standards in every phase of life.
如果一个自由的人能为自己设定的最高目标是一个和蔼可亲的平庸之辈，那么这个国家所坚持的理念将不复存在。卓越意味着在人生的每个阶段都追求最高的标准。
We had every problems starting a big top could have. The tent fell down on the first day. We had problems getting people into the shows. It was only with the courage and arrogance of youth that we survived.
我们在开始一个大陀螺的时候遇到了所有的问题。帐篷第一天就塌了。我们很难让观众进入节目。只有以年轻人的勇气和傲慢，我们才能活下来。
I don't think people understand that being poor means you have to work from dawn until dusk just to survive through the day. I think there's some notion that poor people lie about all day not doing anything.
我不认为人们明白，贫穷意味着你必须从早到晚工作，才能熬过一天。我认为有一种观念认为穷人整天无所事事。
He must be independent and brave, and sure of himself and of the importance of his work, because if he isn't he will never survive the scorching blasts of derision that will probably greet his first efforts.
他必须独立、勇敢，对自己和自己工作的重要性有信心，因为如果他不这样做，他将永远无法经受住可能会迎接他最初努力的尖刻嘲笑。
If it turns out to be a hit, well, good luck dealing with fame. And if it's not a hit and you can still survive and make music you believe in, well, then you're truly blessed. I think that's where we are now.
如果结果很成功，那就祝你在处理名声问题上好运吧。如果这首歌不卖座，你还能活下来，还能创作出你相信的音乐，那你就真的很幸运了。我想这就是我们现在的处境。
I think the themes in my songs are very similar from the first album to the newest one. It's all about the human condition and how we are all trying to learn to live with each other and survive love and life.
我认为我的歌曲的主题从第一张专辑到最新的非常相似。这一切都是关于人类的状况，以及我们如何努力学会与他人生活在一起，如何在爱和生活中生存。
When we have done our best, we can, as a united people, take whatever may befall with calm courage and confidence that this old nation will survive and if death should come to many of us, death is not the end.
当我们尽了最大的努力，作为一个团结的民族，我们能够以冷静的勇气和信心面对可能发生的一切，相信这个古老的国家将继续存在下去。
Everywhere people are at work to build a better world in which we - and some of the beauty of this world - will be guaranteed to survive. Everywhere they are at war with the forces threatening us and the planet.
世界各地的人们都在努力建设一个更美好的世界，在这个世界上，我们——以及这个世界的一些美好之处——将得到生存的保障。无论在哪里，他们都在与威胁我们和地球的势力交战。
The city is old, out of step with the century, but age only seems to have quickened its elements... Relics from the past continually pierce the present. Some dream of love survives the sandstone apartment houses.
这座城市很古老，与世纪不同步，但岁月似乎只是加快了它的元素……过去的遗迹不断地刺穿现在。有些爱情的梦想在砂岩公寓里依然存在。
Once boys' and men's challenges are clear, the question 'why now' quickly becomes 'why didn't we see this sooner?' The answer? Virtually every society that survived did so by socializing its sons to be disposable.
一旦男孩和男人的挑战变得清晰，“为什么是现在”的问题很快就变成了“为什么我们没有早点看到这一点?”的答案吗?事实上，每一个幸存下来的社会都是这样做的:把自己的儿子变成一次性的。
Humanity could only have survived and flourished if it held social and personal values that transcended the urges of the individual, embodying selfish desires - and these stem from the sense of a transcendent good.
只有当人类拥有超越个人欲望的社会和个人价值观，包含自私的欲望时，人类才能生存和繁荣，而这些都源于对超越性善的感知。
KEEP EXPLORING
