A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
可怕
Terrible
I can't think of a story that doesn't have something terrible in it. Otherwise, it's dull. So when I embarked into the world of picture books, my first thought was to do something about the dark.
我想不出一个故事里没有什么可怕的东西。否则,它是无聊的。所以当我进入图画书的世界，我的第一个想法是做一些关于黑暗的事情。
Suffering has roused them from the sleep of gentle life, and every day fills them with a terrible intoxication. They are now something more than themselves; those we loved were merely happy shadows.
苦难把他们从温文尔雅的生活中唤醒，每天都使他们陶醉其中。他们现在已经超越了他们自己;我们所爱的只是快乐的影子。
It's a terrible thing to say I know. I've only done what I wanted to do. It's a real luxury. I only made the pictures I wanted to make and lived in the places I've wanted to live. I'm very, very happy.
我知道这么说很糟糕。我只做了我想做的事。这是真正的奢侈品。我只拍我想拍的照片，住在我想住的地方。我非常非常高兴。
This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands.
这是我们必须团结起来拯救这个星球的时刻。让我们下定决心，我们不会给我们的后代留下一个海平面上升、饥荒蔓延和可怕风暴摧毁我们土地的世界。
I'd just play 'til my hands fell off. My parents would yell at me to stop because they couldn't stand the noise any more! I was terrible! It must have been hard for them to listen to me as a beginning drummer.
我只会玩到我的手掉下来。我的父母会喊我停下来，因为他们再也不能忍受噪音了!我是可怕的!作为一个初出茅庐的鼓手，他们一定很难听我的。
The pure air and dazzling snow belong to things beyond the reach of all personal feeling, almost beyond the reach of life. Yet such things are a part of our life, neither the least noble nor the most terrible.
纯净的空气和耀眼的雪花属于一切个人情感所无法企及的东西，几乎是生活所无法企及的。然而，这样的事情是我们生活的一部分，既不是最不高尚的，也不是最可怕的。
A catcher must want to catch. He must make up his mind that it isn't the terrible job it is painted, and that he isn't going to say every day, 'Why, oh why with so many other positions in baseball did I take up this one.'
接球手必须想接球。他必须下定决心，这并不是一份糟糕的工作，他也不会每天都说，‘为什么，哦，为什么我要在棒球界担任这么多其他的职位。’
He had a way with him. Before you had a chance to say no, he was there and done. That only happened to me once before, with a duke, who literally swept me off my feet, and before I knew what was happening, we'd done it. Another terrible mistake.
他有办法对付他。在你有机会说不之前，他就来了。这种事以前只发生过一次，和一位公爵在一起，他真的让我神魂颠倒，在我知道发生了什么之前，我们就这样做了。另一个严重的错误。
When I have an argument with someone, even with someone I am not very close with, I can't sleep at night thinking about it. It's terrible. But I still manage speak out frankly because I have also been gifted with the ability to read people. I can sense when they start to get irritated with me, and then, I shift.
当我和别人争论的时候，即使是和我不是很亲密的人，我晚上也睡不着觉。这是可怕的。但我仍然设法坦率地说出来，因为我也有阅读别人的天赋。我能感觉到他们什么时候开始生我的气，然后，我就会转移注意力。
