A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
告诉
Tell
People ask me, 'What do you do?' And I tell them I'm a writer, but always with the silent reservation, 'I am, of course, not really a writer. Hemingway was a writer.'
人们问我,‘你是做什么的?我告诉他们我是一名作家,但总是带着沉默的保留。海明威是个作家。”
I can tell jokes. I can talk to the audience. I can relax. I can change my songs whenever I want. I can change the tempos. I can change the mood, because I'm in charge.
我会讲笑话。我可以和观众交谈。我可以放松。我可以随时更换我的歌曲。我可以改变节奏。我可以改变心情,因为我是负责人。
I can do whatever I want. They will tell me if what I am doing is stupid or a total waste of time. I may tell them that they are wrong, and we will come to an agreement.
我想做什么就做什么。他们会告诉我我所做的是愚蠢的还是完全是浪费时间。我可以告诉他们他们错了,我们会达成协议的。
I tell students they will know they are getting somewhere when a scene is so painful they can just barely bring themselves to write about it. A writer has to draw blood.
我告诉学生们,当一个场景是如此痛苦,他们几乎无法让自己把它写下来的时候,他们就会知道他们正在到达某个地方。作家必须抽血。
There is a connection between me and the collectors, and as admirers of the work they tell me about the differences the pieces are able to make in their lives on a daily basis.
我和收藏家之间有一种联系,作为作品的崇拜者,他们告诉我这些作品在日常生活中所能带来的不同。
I can often tell when drawings are done from photographs, because you can tell what they miss out, what the camera misses out: usually weight and volume - there's a flatness to them.
我经常能从照片中看出图画是什么时候完成的,因为你能看出他们遗漏了什么,相机遗漏了什么:通常是重量和体积——它们有一种平面感。
But on the other hand, in the midst of the chaos, you find normal people. You find people who are willing to risk their lives to tell you what they saw, even though they have no dog in the fight.
但另一方面,在混乱中,你会发现普通人。你会发现有人愿意冒着生命危险告诉你他们看到了什么,即使他们没有狗在战斗。
But I can tell that once, and if, and when this issue gets to be, under real terms, investigated, you will be seeing certain people that we know from this country standing trial; and they will be prosecuted criminally.
但我可以告诉你,一旦,如果,当这个问题得到真正的调查,你将会看到我们从这个国家认识的某些人接受审判;他们将受到刑事起诉。
I'll tell you what I miss most. What I would love to do, more than anything, is just anthologies. With an anthology you can tell any story and be in every division of television. We don't have any anthologies anymore, do we?
我会告诉你我最想念什么。我最喜欢做的就是选集。有了一本选集,你就可以讲述任何故事,进入电视的每一个部门。我们再也没有选集了,是吗?
I must tell you I take terrible risks. Because my playing is very clear, when I make a mistake you hear it. If you want me to play only the notes without any specific dynamics, I will never make one mistake. Never be afraid to dare.
我必须告诉你我冒了很大的风险。因为我的演奏很清楚,当我犯错误的时候你会听到它。如果你想让我只演奏音符而没有任何特定的力度,我绝不会犯一个错误。永远不要害怕去挑战。
They told me that they are starting a classic label, and wanted me to be the first artist. So I signed, and am producing myself, and writing my own music, but I'm their first artist on their classic label. And I have creative control.
他们告诉我,他们正在创建一个经典品牌,并希望我成为第一个艺术家。所以我签了名,开始创作自己的音乐,但我是他们经典品牌的第一个艺人。我有创造力。
I was this role model for heavy people. But the thing is, I never set out to be a role model at all, and I don't set out to be one now. I won't preach to anyone and tell them how to lose weight. I don't know any better than the next person.
我是胖人的榜样。但问题是,我从来没有想过要成为一个榜样,我现在也没有。我不会对任何人说教,也不会告诉他们如何减肥。我知道的不比别人多。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're alive.
大多数人最大的弱点是,当他们活着的时候,他们不愿意告诉别人他们有多爱他们。
I tell people I'm too stupid to know what's impossible. I have ridiculously large dreams, and half the time they come true.Come
我告诉别人我太笨了,不知道什么是不可能的。我的梦想太大了,有一半的时间我的梦想实现了
I think I always had a musicality, and I think I could tell a good song from a bad song. And I would appreciate hearing something that was new to me.
我觉得我一直都很有音乐感,我觉得我能分辨出一首好歌和一首坏歌。如果能听到一些我不熟悉的东西,我会很感激。
You know you're in love when you want to tell everyone about it, even if they haven't asked.
当你想告诉所有人你恋爱了,即使他们没有问你。
It's like i want you to know, but i don't want to tell you.
就像我想让你知道,但我不想告诉你。
As a novelist, I tell stories and people give me money. Then financial planners tell me stories and I give them money.
作为一个小说家,我讲故事,人们给我钱。然后理财规划师给我讲故事,我给他们钱。
