A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
事情
Things
A person that much interested in science is going to neglect his social life somewhat, but not completely, because that isn't healthy either. So one has to work it out according to one's own inclinations, how one wants to proportion these things.
一个对科学非常感兴趣的人会在一定程度上忽视他的社交生活,但不是完全忽视,因为这也是不健康的。所以一个人必须根据自己的喜好来计算,如何将这些东西比例化。
On some levels, you can also have this feeling that we are being duped, somehow. And that the world is at play for something you would understand more if it were pure ideology. It is a very strange time and also basic things are being taken away.
在某种程度上,你也会有这样的感觉,我们被骗了。如果纯粹是意识形态,你就会更了解这个世界。这是一个非常奇怪的时期,基本的东西都被拿走了。
We found that the most exciting environments, that treated people very well, are also tough as nails. There is no bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo... excellent companies provide two things simultaneously: tough environments and very supportive environments.
我们发现,最令人兴奋的环境,对人很好的环境,也像钉子一样坚硬。没有官僚主义的胡言乱语……优秀的公司同时提供两件事:艰难的环境和非常支持性的环境。
As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.
诗歌不是一种职业,而是一种徒劳无益的游戏。没有一个诚实的诗人能对他所写的东西的永久价值有十足的把握:他可能白白浪费了时间,把生活搞得一团糟。
It's just that if you're not disruptive everything seems to be repeated endlessly - not so much the good things but the bland things - the ordinary things - the weaker things get repeated- the stronger things get suppressed and held down and hidden.
只是如果你不是破坏性的,所有的事情似乎都在无休止地重复——不是好事而是平淡无奇的事情——平凡的事情——越弱的事情不断重复——越强的事情被压抑、压制和隐藏。
I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.
我真的没有过那种激动人心的生活。有很多事情我希望我能做,而不是坐在那里抱怨有一个无聊的生活。所以我很喜欢编造。我宁愿讲一个关于别人的故事。
I was fortunate that I was at newspapers for eight years, where I wrote at least five or six stories every week. You get used to interviewing lots of different people about a lot of different things. And they aren't things you know about until you do the story.
幸运的是,我在报社工作了八年,每周至少写五六篇报道。你会习惯采访很多不同的人关于很多不同的事情。只有当你写了这个故事,你才会知道这些。
We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
我们还把事情安排得几乎没有人了解科学和技术。这是灾难的处方。我们可能会侥幸逃脱一段时间,但这种无知和权力的可燃混合物迟早会在我们的脸上爆炸。
The Swords were still interesting but by then a cast of characters had started to appear and go on from book to book, and other things about the world began to feel constricting. And there were other things I wanted to do, so I closed the series up and stopped it.
剑仍然很有趣,但那时已经有一群人物开始出现,一本书接一本书地出现,世界上的其他事情开始让人感到压抑。我还有其他的事情想做,所以我结束了这个系列,停止了它。
That music and the lyrical aspects of Razorblade Romance is so personal to me that, now with me being grown up a bit and meeting new people and doing new things, it makes me look at the same things I was writing about back in the day through a different colored lens.
音乐和锋利的浪漫的抒情方面是对我这么个人,现在我长大了一点,结识新朋友,做新事物,这让我看同样的东西我写过去通过不同颜色的镜头。
I suppose I look for humor in most situations because it humanizes things; it makes a character much more three-dimensional if there's some kind of humor. Not necessarily laugh-out-loud type of stuff, just a sense that there is a humorous edge to things. I do like that.
我想我在大多数情况下寻找幽默是因为它使事物人性化;如果有一些幽默,它会使角色更加立体。不一定要大声笑,只是觉得事情有幽默的一面。我很喜欢。
Anytime you win, it's a good win. But we didn't play very well. Offensively, we were getting underneath the ball and hitting in the air a lot. And defensively, we made a couple of mistakes that hurt us. We're going to have to shape some things up by Thursday and Saturday.
任何时候你赢了,都是一场好赢。但是我们打得不是很好。在进攻端,我们经常钻到球下面,在空中击球。在防守端,我们犯了几个错误,伤害了我们。我们必须在星期四和星期六之前把一些事情安排妥当。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.
我发现我可以用颜色和形状来表达我无法用其他方式表达的东西——那些我无法用语言表达的东西。
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
世界上大多数重要的事情都是由那些在似乎没有任何希望的时候继续努力的人完成的。
People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.
来自一个没有鲜花的星球上的人会认为,我们一定是高兴得发疯了,才会有这样的事情发生在我们身上。
But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it.
但是当我画一幅画的时候,我会从一幅画开始画,但是我会在画中加入一些我非常确定我想要的东西,然后用印刷的点或彩纸在画上拼贴,在我真正投入之前。
I love all kinds of bread. Whenever I crave junk food, I want salty things like peanuts or potato chips.
我喜欢各种各样的面包。每当我想吃垃圾食品时,我就想吃咸的东西,比如花生或薯片。
We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from... Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.
我们不能设想物质是无中生有的,因为事物需要一粒种子从……因此,没有什么东西会归于虚无,而是所有的东西都回归到它们的元素中去了。
