A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
思考
Think
I'm constantly changing, I'm constantly growing. I think I'm a little controversial... I just try and keep some mystery, so hopefully people can't really put their finger on it.
我在不断地改变,我在不断地成长。我觉得我有点争议…我只是试着保持一些神秘感,所以希望人们不会把他们的手指放在上面。
When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.
当我们还是孩子的时候,我们常常认为当我们长大了我们就不再脆弱了。但成长就是接受脆弱……活着就要变得脆弱。
Liza, I love you more than any words can say. You have made me a complete person. You are everything to me. And I cannot think of living life without you. And I love you forever.
丽莎,我爱你胜过任何语言。你使我成为一个完整的人。你是我的一切。我无法想象没有你的生活。我永远爱你。
Quite frankly, I think nothing could do more to immediately bolster national security then enabling us to produce more oil and gas here at home at a price consumers could afford.
坦率地说,我认为没有什么比让我们在国内以消费者能够承受的价格生产更多的石油和天然气更能立即加强国家安全了。
I want to direct but I think I'd be bloody awful and I don't want to produce but I think I'd be a very good producer because if I believed in something I'd be able to protect it.
我想当导演,但我觉得我会非常糟糕,我不想做制片人,但我觉得我会是个很好的制片人,因为如果我相信某件事,我就能保护它。
I work so I don't need to make rent through my songs, and I think if more people engaged with music without needing it to provide for their welfare, you're not beholden to anyone.
我工作,所以我不需要通过我的歌曲来赚钱,我认为如果更多的人从事音乐而不需要它来提供他们的福利,你就不需要感谢任何人。
I have never been in any country where they did not do something better than we do it, think some thoughts better than we think, catch some inspiration from heights above our own.
我从来没有到过一个国家,他们没有做过比我们更好的事情,他们没有想过比我们想的更好的事情,他们没有从我们自己的高度获得一些灵感。
But, I would always be thinking of how pictures are constructed and colour, how to use it, I mean you're using it for constructing, makes you think about it, the place did as well.
但是,我总是在想图片是怎么构成的,颜色是怎么用的,我的意思是,你用它来构造,让你思考,这个地方也一样。
Country radio certainly widens the boundaries of what I can do. Other artists may do something more edgy that gets on radio and that opens the door for me to be more edgy, I think.
乡村广播无疑拓宽了我所能做的事情的范围。我想,其他艺术家可能会做一些更前卫的事情,在电台上播出,这为我打开了一扇更前卫的大门。
I really think about the times that I've been through with my husband and all the stuff that we've been through together, and I think to those moments for inspiration for the role.
我真的会想起我和丈夫一起度过的时光,以及我们一起经历的所有事情,我想那些时刻会给这个角色带来灵感。
Personally, I feel that in my own work I wanted to look programmed or impersonal but I don't really believe I am being impersonal when I do it. And I don't think you could do this.
就我个人而言,我觉得在我自己的工作中,我想让自己看起来程序化或不带个人色彩,但我并不真的相信我这样做时不带个人色彩。我觉得你做不到。
And I think that if I were a for real celebrity that was recognizable everywhere, I'd just crawl under a rock and you know, have someone run over the rock with a car, or something.
我想,如果我是一个到处都能认出来的真正的名人,我就会爬到一块岩石下,让人开着车从岩石上碾过去。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
What do you think Jesus would twitter, 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone' or 'Has anyone seen Judas? He was here a minute ago.'
你认为耶稣会在推特上说什么,“让没有罪的人扔第一块石头”或“有人见过犹大吗?”他刚才还在这儿。”
I remember my wife and I used to get on plane and see everybody else with their babies. They'd be putting strollers and car seats up above, and we'd think: Oh, please Lord, don't make us go through that.
我记得我和我的妻子曾经上过飞机,看到每个人都带着他们的孩子。他们会把婴儿车和汽车座椅放在上面,我们会想:哦,上帝,请不要让我们经历这些。
Never let 'em see you sweat. Guests feel guilty if they think you've worked too hard to make dinner for them - which of course you have!
别让他们看到你流汗。如果客人认为你工作太辛苦而没能为他们做晚饭,他们会感到内疚——你当然有这种感觉!
All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work.
只要人们愿意思考,世界上所有的问题都可以很容易地解决。问题是,人们常常为了不思考而使用各种各样的方法,因为思考是一项如此艰难的工作。
I don't think about financial success as the measurement of my success.

When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
当朋友遇到麻烦时,不要问他你能帮什么忙,以免惹恼他。想一些合适的事情,然后去做。
