Talent
Lucian Freud's career affirms that the only thing an artist can do is remain true to whatever vision, (lack of) talent, or ideas that happened to pick them in order to be made known to the world.
卢西安•弗洛伊德的职业生涯证实，艺术家唯一能做的就是忠于自己的愿景，(缺乏)天赋，或者那些碰巧选中他们的想法，以便让世界了解他们。
Just as the performance of the vilest and most wicked deeds requires spirit and talent, so even the greatest demand a certain insensitivity which under other circumstances we would call stupidity.
正如做最邪恶、最邪恶的事需要精神和才能一样，即使是最邪恶的事也需要某种麻木不仁，在其他情况下，我们称之为愚蠢。
If people ask me for the ingredients of success, I say one is talent, two is stubbornness or determination, and third is sheer luck. You have to have two out of the three. Any two will probably do.
如果有人问我成功的要素，我说一个是天赋，两个是固执或决心，第三个是纯粹的运气。你必须有三个中的两个。任何两个都可以。
People often remark that I'm pretty lucky. Luck is only important in so far as getting the chance to sell yourself at the right moment. After that, you've got to have talent and know how to use it.
人们常说我很幸运。只有在正确的时机有机会推销自己时，运气才是最重要的。在那之后，你必须有天赋并且知道如何使用它。
If a man has talent and can't use it, he's failed. If he uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he uses the whole of it, he has succeeded, and won a satisfaction and triumph few men ever know.
如果一个人有天赋却不能运用，那他就失败了。如果他只使用了其中的一半，他已经部分失败了。如果他充分利用了这一切，他就成功了，并赢得了很少有人知道的满足和胜利。
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.
他的天赋就像蝴蝶翅膀上的灰尘形成的图案一样自然。有一段时间，他对它的理解并不比蝴蝶对它的理解多多少少，他也不知道它是什么时候被刷过或弄坏的。
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent.
在一个困难的职业中取得成功需要对自己有强烈的信心。这就是为什么有些人虽然天赋平平，但内心却充满动力，比那些天赋出众的人走得更远。
However gifted an individual is at the outset, if his or her talents cannot be developed because of his or her social condition, because of the surrounding circumstances, these talents will be still-born.
无论一个人在一开始是多么的有天赋，如果他或她的天赋因为他或她的社会条件，因为周围的环境而不能得到发展，那么这些天赋就会胎死腹中。
My mother, grandmother and older sister all cooked, so it was hard to get into the kitchen. So I have no talent for cooking. I was always out in the garage with my dad. I have a tool belt. I'm a repair chick.
我的母亲、祖母和姐姐都做饭了，所以很难进入厨房。所以我没有烹饪的天赋。我总是和爸爸在车库里。我有一个工具带。我是个修理工。
What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but in other people's lives.
物质上的成功让你有能力专注于其他真正重要的事情。这就是能够做出改变，不仅在你自己的生活中，而且在其他人的生活中。
An absolutely necessary part of a writer's equipment, almost as necessary as talent, is the ability to stand up under punishment, both the punishment the world hands out and the punishment he inflicts upon himself.
一个作家的写作技巧中，一个绝对必要的部分，几乎和他的才能一样必要，就是在惩罚下站起来的能力，不管是这个世界给他的惩罚，还是他对自己施加的惩罚。
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.
成功的天赋无非是做你能做好的事，做你能做好的事，而不考虑名声。如果它真的来了，它就会来，因为它是应得的，而不是因为它被追求。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Youth itself is a talent, a perishable talent.
青春本身就是一种天赋，一种易逝的天赋。
Whatever talent I had, I'm sure it helped that my parents were in the business and that I grew up around actors, comedians and directors.
无论我有什么天赋，我相信这对我的父母都有帮助，我在演员、喜剧演员和导演的陪伴下长大。
I was born with a natural gift. My mother recognized the talent.
我天生就有一种天赋。我母亲发现了他的天赋。
Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough.
当天赋不够努力时，努力总会战胜天赋。
Goethe said, 'Talent is developed in privacy, ' you know?And it's really true. There is a need for aloneness which i don't think most people realize for an actor. It's almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you'll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you're acting.
歌德说过，“天赋是在隐私中培养出来的，”你知道吗?这是真的。对于一个演员来说，孤独是有必要的，但我认为大多数人并没有意识到这一点。当你在演戏的时候，你几乎为自己保守了一些秘密，而这些秘密只会让整个世界知道一小会儿。
