A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
青少年
Teen
I was into all kinds of music as a teen - country music, because my dad was in a band that played country, and whatever my sister and brother were into.
当我十几岁的时候,我喜欢各种各样的音乐——乡村音乐,因为我爸爸在一个演奏乡村音乐的乐队里,不管我姐姐和哥哥喜欢什么。
When I was growing up, particularly during puberty in my teen years, I was so miserable because I elicited so much teasing and meanness from my teenage cohorts.
在我成长的过程中,特别是在我十几岁的青春期,我是如此的痛苦,因为我从我十几岁的同龄人那里得到了那么多的嘲笑和刻薄。
Growing up, I didn't have a lot of toys, and personal entertainment depended on individual ingenuity and imagination - think up a story and go live it for an afternoon.
在我的成长过程中,我没有太多的玩具,个人娱乐依赖于个人的创造力和想象力——想一个故事,然后花一个下午的时间去实践它。
I think there's a time in your life where you don't feel like you fit in. I think everyone has that when you're a teenager, especially, and especially in the society we live in.
我觉得在你的生活中,有一段时间你觉得自己不合群。我想每个人在青少年时期都有这种感觉,尤其是在我们所生活的社会中。
The most important role models should and could be parents and teachers. But that said, once you're a teenager you've probably gotten as much of an example from your parents as you're going to.
最重要的榜样应该而且可能是父母和教师。但话说回来,一旦你是一个青少年,你可能已经从你的父母那里得到了和你将要得到的一样多的榜样。
But when I was a teenager, the idea of spending the rest of my life in a factory was real depressing. So the idea that I could become a musician opened up some possibilities I didn't see otherwise.
但当我十几岁的时候,在工厂里度过余生的想法真的很令人沮丧。所以我能成为一名音乐家的想法为我打开了一些其他方面我没有看到的可能性。
I mean, I'm pretty good in real life, but sometimes people seem surprised that I'm like a normal teenager and wear black nail polish and I'm just a little bit more edgy than the person I play on television.
我的意思是,我在现实生活中表现得很好,但有时人们似乎很惊讶,我像一个普通的青少年,涂着黑色指甲油,而且我只是比我在电视上扮演的那个人有点急躁。
I'm a teenager, but I'm independent - I have my own apartment, I have my own life. And I think I have learned more than any of those teenagers have in school. I learned to be responsible, leaving my family and coming here alone.
我是个十几岁的孩子,但我很独立——我有自己的公寓,我有自己的生活。我想我学到的东西比那些青少年在学校学到的要多。我学会了负责任,离开家人独自来到这里。
Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It's when you make your best friends - I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.
青少年时期是一段美好的时光,也是一段艰难的时光。当你交到最好的朋友的时候——我有永远不会离开我的心的女孩,我仍然和她们聊天。作为一个青少年,你有最好的,也有最坏的。你拥有最好的友谊和最糟糕的心碎。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts.
青春期是女孩们承受社会压力的时期,她们不得不抛开真实的自我,只展示自己天赋的一小部分。
Teenagers today are more free to be themselves and to accept themselves.
今天的青少年更自由地做自己,接受自己。
My teenage years were exactly what they were supposed to be. Everybody has their own path. It's laid out for you. It's just up to you to walk it.
我的少年时代正是他们应该有的样子。每个人都有自己的路。这是为你准备的。你自己走就行了。
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
长大并成为真正的自己需要勇气。
I grew up in a house where nobody had to tell me to go to school every day and do my homework.
我在一个没有人告诉我每天去学校做作业的房子里长大。
Youth is the trustee of prosperity.
青年是繁荣的托管人。
