A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
思考
Thinking
When I speak of the gifted listener, I am thinking of the nonmusician primarily, of the listener who intends to retain his amateur status. It is the thought of just such a listener that excites the composer in me.
当我说到有天赋的听众时,我首先想到的是那些不懂音乐的人,那些想要保持业余状态的听众。正是这样一个听众的想法让我内心深处的作曲家激动不已。
It is by not always thinking of yourself, if you can manage it, that you might somehow be happy. Until you make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost.
如果你能做到,那就不要总是想着自己,这样你也许会感到快乐。在你的生活中为像你一样重要的人腾出空间之前,你总是在寻找和迷失。
The traits the word 'childish' addresses are seen so often in adults that we should abolish this age-discriminatory word when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking.
“孩子气”这个词在成年人身上经常出现,所以当我们批评与不负责任和非理性思维有关的行为时,我们应该废除这个年龄歧视的词。
I like roles that are on the extreme ends of the spectrum, and there's special appeal in exploring these slightly forgotten plays that people might think of as subjects for academic term papers instead of live theater.
我喜欢极端的角色,探索这些被人遗忘的戏剧有特殊的吸引力,人们可能会把它们当作学期论文的主题,而不是现场戏剧。
It really helps you to go through difficult situations by just thinking about it as being a big amount of work which you have to solve how to do. For example, I don't feel very inspired when I act, I just act. That's it.
它真的可以帮助你度过困难的情况,只要把它想成是一项你必须解决如何去做的大量工作。例如,当我行动的时候,我不会感到很有灵感,我只是行动。就是这样。
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。
The way in which mathematicians and physicists and historians talk is quite different, and what a physicist means by physical intuition and what a mathematician means by beauty or elegance are things worth thinking about.
数学家、物理学家和历史学家说话的方式是完全不同的,物理学家对物理直觉的理解和数学家对美或优雅的理解是值得思考的。
I think a moratorium probably is legal, and we should probably for a short period of time impose a moratorium so that we don't permit any additional landfill permits for the time being, so we don't exacerbate the problem.
我认为暂停填埋可能是合法的,我们可能应该在短时间内暂停填埋,这样我们就不会允许任何额外的填埋许可,这样我们就不会使问题恶化。
There are a lot of editorials that have nothing to do with anything like that. But I was just thinking of that sense of prose as being very responsible and perceptive, thoughtful, intimate, and contriving a quote statement.
有很多社论都与这类事情无关。但我只是认为这种散文的感觉是非常负责任的,有洞察力的,有思想的,亲密的,和构思一个引用声明。
All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome.
多年来所有的政治思想都以同样的方式被玷污了。人们只有在符合自己意愿的时候才能预见未来,而最明显的事实在不受欢迎的时候可以被忽略。
When I interview people, and they give me an immediate answer, they're often not thinking. So I'm silent. I wait. Because they think they have to keep answering. And it's the second train of thought that's the better answer.
当我采访别人,他们给我一个即时的答案,他们通常不会思考。所以我沉默。我等待。因为他们认为他们必须继续回答。第二个思路是更好的答案。
It really costs me a lot emotionally to watch myself on-screen. I think of myself, and feel like I'm quite young, and then I look at this old man with the baggy chins and the tired eyes and the receding hairline and all that.
在屏幕上看自己真的让我付出了很多情感上的代价。我想起了自己,觉得自己还很年轻,然后我看着这位下巴松松垮垮、眼神疲惫、发际线逐渐收窄的老人。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.
谁控制了媒体,谁就控制了思想。
As a revelation from God, they have stood the test of many ages; and as such maintained their ground against every species of enemy, and every mode of attack. Truth is mighty, and must prevail.
作为上帝的启示,它们经受了许多时代的考验;就这样,他们坚守阵地,抵御各种各样的敌人和各种进攻方式。真理是强大的,必须战胜一切。
The struggle for existence holds as much in the intellectual as in the physical world. A theory is a species of thinking, and its right to exist is coextensive with its power of resisting extinction by its rivals.
生存的斗争不仅存在于物质世界,也存在于精神世界。理论是一种思维,它的生存权与它抵抗竞争对手灭绝的能力是相辅相成的。
There are two distinct classes of what are called thoughts: those that we produce in ourselves by reflection and the act of thinking and those that bolt into the mind of their own accord.
所谓思想,有两种截然不同的类型:一类是我们通过反思和思考的行为而产生于自身的思想,另一类则是我们自己的思维。
Unthinking faith is a curious offering to be made to the creator of the human mind.
不加思索的信心是一种奇妙的礼物,要献给人类心灵的创造者。
