A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
思考
Think
The hesitancy is in the detail, not the principal. There has been no resistance to the principal of women playing in the Open if they are qualified for it. We are not dragging our feet. It's just that we never had cause to think about it before.
犹豫在于细节,而不是主体。如果妇女有资格参加公开比赛,就没有人反对这项原则。我们不会拖拖拉拉。只是我们从来没有理由去想它。
Human beings are accustomed to think of intellect as the power of having and controlling ideas and of ability to learn as synonymous with ability to have ideas. But learning by having ideas is really one of the rare and isolated events in nature.
人类习惯于认为智力是拥有和控制思想的力量,学习能力是拥有思想的能力的同义词。但是,通过有想法来学习,实际上是自然界中罕见而孤立的事件之一。
I've done thousands of interviews in my life, and it's a format that I quite enjoy, because I think of questions in interviews as an opportunity to sort of gauge my growth in a way. It gives me an idea of how I'm navigating this world that I'm in.
我一生中做过成千上万次面试,我非常喜欢这种形式,因为我认为面试中的问题是一个机会,可以在某种程度上衡量我的成长。它让我知道我是如何在这个世界上航行的。
I protest that if some great Power would agree to make me always think what is true and do what is right, on condition of being turned into a sort of clock and would up every morning before I got out of bed, I should instantly close with the offer.
我抗议说,如果某个大国愿意让我永远思考什么是真的,做什么是对的,条件是把我变成一种时钟,每天早上在我起床之前就起床,那么我就应该立刻结束这个提议。
Other men wear white suits in summer and it doesn't seem to bother them. But my white suit seems to be a little whiter than theirs. I think also that it may have something written on the back of it, although I can't find it when I take the suit off.
其他男性在夏天穿白色西装,这似乎并不会影响他们。但是我的白色西装似乎比他们的要白一些。我还想它的背面可能写着什么,虽然我脱下西装找不到。
I simplify the spices. I'm the same way as everybody else: if I look at a recipe and there's ten spices in it, I'm going to have to think long and hard about when I'm going to be able to make that... so I try to simplify the spices to three or four.
我简化了香料。我和其他人都是一样的:如果我看一个食谱,里面有十种香料,我就得好好想想什么时候才能做出来……所以我试着把香料简化成三种或四种。
I wanted to take a stand against what I think was not so well established then but is thoroughly well established now, which is the substitution for a real sense of a country of a hideous distortion which you can sell to the people called 'heritage'.
我想要反对的是,我认为当时不是很成熟,但现在已经完全成熟了,它取代了一个真正意义上的扭曲的国家,你可以把它卖给那些被称为“遗产”的人。
So people think I'm lying about my age all the time? It's the records that are wrong. I've never told anyone how old I am. The minute they ask me, I say 'That's none of your business.' So that means I've never once lied about my age. Now that's true!
所以人们认为我一直在谎报年龄?是记录错了。我从来没有告诉过任何人我有多大。他们一问我,我就说:‘这不关你的事。所以这意味着我从来没有谎报过自己的年龄。现在这是真的!
Just about any story we think about doing, whether we've read it in a newspaper, heard it on the radio or come upon it through word of mouth - by the time you get there, every other network, cable station and talk show is already racing to the scene.
我们想要做的任何事情,无论是在报纸上读到的,在广播上听到的,还是通过口口相传得到的,当你到达那里的时候,其他所有的网络、有线电视台和脱口秀节目都已经在竞相报道了。
I can hardly think of an occasion when I've got into a stand-up fight with any political opponent. I've got my views, people know what they are, they can agree or they can choose to disagree. I'm not going to waste time just rubbishing everybody else.
我几乎想不出有什么场合我曾与任何政治对手进行过单打独斗。我有我的观点,人们知道他们是什么,他们可以同意或者选择不同意。我不会把时间浪费在诋毁别人上。
I am flattered that they think that many people would enjoy my work. I don't approach any genre a different way than I may approach another one. I treat every role I do like a role worthy of applying whatever kind of tactic, process and talent I have.
他们认为许多人会喜欢我的工作,我感到受宠若惊。我对待任何流派的方式都不会与对待另一种流派的方式有所不同。我把我所扮演的每一个角色都看作是一个值得我运用任何策略、过程和才能的角色。
We must develop huge demonstrations, because the world is used to big dramatic affairs. They think in terms of hundreds of thousands and millions and billions . . . Billions of dollars are appropriated at the twinkling of an eye. Nothing little counts.
我们必须发展大规模的示威,因为世界已经习惯了大规模的戏剧性事件。他们以数十万、数百万和数十亿的方式思考……数十亿美元转眼间就被挪用了。没有小数量。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.
我想,没有什么,甚至没有犯罪,比这种没完没了的工作更反对诗歌,更反对哲学,更反对生活本身了。
I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.
我不相信人会变老。我认为,在人生的早期,人到了一定的年龄,就会停滞不前。
You think i'm stupid for not realising it, But the truth is, i'm just being nice by not telling you.
你认为我没有意识到这一点是愚蠢的,但事实是,我没有告诉你只是出于好心。
I think today's music absolutely stinks. I really do mean that.
我觉得今天的音乐糟透了。我是认真的。
I don't think I could be terribly demanding even if I wanted to be.
我想即使我想要,我也不会要求太高。
My dog was with me all the time. I talked to my dog. She was my best buddy. I shared all my secrets with her, but I don't think I every really tried jokes out with the dog.
我的狗一直和我在一起。我和我的狗说话。她是我最好的朋友。我和她分享了我所有的秘密,但我不认为我真的试着和狗开玩笑。
