A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
思考
Thinking
I fought back, got injured again and I had to have another operation. I got down and depressed and I think I was drinking more than I should. Well, I know I was.
我反击了,又受伤了,不得不再做一次手术。我很沮丧,我想我喝得太多了。我知道我是。
I think sometimes Richmond, especially the House of Delegates, thinks too small... Richmond is not doing what needs to be done, forward thinking, big bold ideas.
我认为有时候里士满,尤其是众议院,想得太小了……里士满没有做需要做的事,超前思考,大胆的想法。
I think my best skill in this whole deal is as a conduit to try to bring people together, because I think it's in our unity that we'll have the greatest strength.
我认为我在这整个交易中最好的技能是作为一个管道,试图把人们团结起来,因为我认为在我们的团结中,我们将拥有最大的力量。
I remember once, when I started writing for the alto saxophone, a saxophonist told me to think of it as being like a cross between an oboe and a viola, but louder.
我记得有一次,当我开始为中音萨克斯管写作时,一个萨克斯手告诉我要把它想象成双簧管和中提琴的混合体,但声音要大一些。
Youngsters have got to stop thinking about becoming the next Zuckerberg. It's a trillion-to-one chance. What they need is mater and pater to say, 'Get a job, son.'
年轻人必须停止想成为下一个扎克伯格。这是万亿分之一的机会。他们需要的是脱线和佩特说:“找份工作,孩子。”
All I had, originally, were pages of Nolan's dialogue. I think his character serves the story in a nice way. He's a Greek chorus for the goings-on in the Hamptons.
我原本只有诺兰对话的几页纸。我认为他的角色很好地诠释了这个故事。他是汉普顿的希腊合唱团。
Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease, and my fingers wandered idly over the noisy keys. It seemed the harmonious echo from our discordant life.
有一天,我坐在风琴旁,感到疲倦和不安,手指在嘈杂的琴键上闲荡。它似乎是我们不和谐生活的和谐回声。
There were air raids at night. The factory was dark and dirty. And I remember thinking - well - I must find somebody or something because like this I cannot go on.
夜间有空袭。工厂又黑又脏。我记得我在想——嗯——我必须找到某个人或某件事,因为像这样我不能继续下去了。
I was thinking around the clouds, and I was hoping you wouldn't bring me down. And I was wandering if you would come with me. But then I realized that you're dirty.
我在想云的周围,我希望你不会把我带下来。我在想你是否愿意和我一起去。但后来我意识到你很脏。
When you really think about it, I'm not delusional enough to think that what I do is important to life as we know it on this planet. No. But neither is what you do.

Now it would be as absurd to deny the existence of God, because we cannot see him, as it would be to deny the existence of the air or wind, because we cannot see it.
因为我们看不见上帝而否认上帝的存在,就像因为我们看不见空气或风而否认空气或风的存在一样荒谬。
The mistake that people make in stand-up is thinking they're profound or they're deep when there are so many people who have more worthwhile ways of phrasing things.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The mind ought sometimes to be diverted that it may return to better thinking.
头脑有时应该转移一下,以便能回到更好的思考中去。
If there is a good musical reason, I think it might draw more attention and sell, though it is not guaranteed. To make a record without a musical reason, you have to either be a pop star who sells automatically or just be lucky.
如果有一个好的音乐原因,我认为它可能会吸引更多的关注和销售,虽然这并不能保证。要制作一张没有音乐原因的唱片,你要么是一个自动销售的流行歌星,要么就是运气好。
Anyone who has begun to think, places some portion of the world in jeopardy.
任何开始思考的人,都会把世界的一部分置于危险之中。

With each of those projects I wasn't thinking about how the layout would really affect the story I was working on - it wasn't the content that was affecting the layout, it was, how I wanted to draw at that point in time.
对于每一个项目,我并没有考虑布局会如何真正影响我正在做的故事——影响布局的不是内容,而是我在那个时候想要如何绘制。
