A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
怀疑
Suspect
We all have our opinions. But I suspect that writers are actually less worth heeding, because they regard themselves as so uniquely important, so culturally sensitive.
我们都有自己的观点。但我怀疑,作家实际上不那么值得关注,因为他们认为自己是如此独特地重要,对文化如此敏感。
There is something suspicious about music, gentlemen. I insist that she is, by her nature, equivocal. I shall not be going too far in saying at once that she is politically suspect.
音乐有点可疑,先生们。我坚持认为她生性模棱两可。我不会马上说她在政治上有嫌疑。
I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow. For people like me - I suspect that's most people - holding out for a 'dream' or a 'passion' is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That's hard enough... but it's enough.
我羡慕有梦想和激情的人,但我不这么认为。我仍然没有“幸福”可以追随。对于像我这样的人来说——我怀疑这是大多数人——坚持一个“梦想”或一个“激情”是令人麻痹的。我喜欢有意义的工作。这很难……但这就够了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The higher the moral tone, the more suspect the speaker.
道德的音调越高,说话者就越怀疑。
I do suspect that this world is hell.
我怀疑这个世界是地狱。
Those who are incapable of committing great crimes do not readily suspect them in others.
没有能力犯下重罪的人不会轻易怀疑他人的罪行。
To suspect your own mortality is to know the beginning of terror, to learn irrefutably that you are mortal is to know the end of terror.
怀疑你自己的死亡就是知道恐怖的开始,无可辩驳地知道你是会死的就是知道恐怖的结束。
I suspect that writer's block afflicts mainly people who have some stable and ample source of income outside of writing. So far it hasn't been a problem.
我怀疑,文思枯竭主要折磨的是那些在写作之外有稳定而充足收入来源的人。到目前为止还没有出现问题。
