A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
思考
Thinking
You know, I think I did originally have some sort of idea of maybe a Where Eagles Dare kind of mission against impossible odds, but it really sort of died before I had a chance to really go anywhere with it, and then just doing the book was out of the question.
你知道,我认为我最初有某种想法也许一种鹰哪里敢任务不可能克服重重困难,但它真的死在我真的有机会去任何地方,然后做这本书是不可能的。
I get an idea about something. I just start thinking about it, and then I get onstage and I talk about it, and then I think about it some more and talk about it some more, and think about it some more and talk about it some more, until it starts to take a shape.
我有个主意。我只是开始思考这个问题，然后我走上舞台，开始谈论这个问题，然后我再思考这个问题，再谈论这个问题，再思考这个问题，再谈论这个问题，直到它开始成形。
I don't mind if the couple next to me is tense or the kids are whiny. I'd even be happy to hear an honest argument, evidence of thinking. I'd like to know these teeth-perfect families don't just buy each other stuff but just occasionally can talk to one another.
我不介意我旁边的夫妇很紧张，或者孩子们很爱发牢骚。我甚至很高兴听到一个诚实的论点，思考的证据。我想知道的是，这些牙齿完美的家庭不只是互相买东西，只是偶尔可以互相交谈。
The day when a sportsman stops thinking above all else of the happiness in his own effort and the intoxication of the power and physical balance he derives from it, the day when he lets considerations of vanity or interest take over, on this day his ideal will die.
当一个运动员不再把自己的努力所带来的快乐放在首位，不再陶醉于从中获得的力量和身体平衡时，当他让虚荣心或兴趣占据主导地位时，他的理想就会在这一天破灭。
There is a serious defect in the thinking of someone who wants - more than anything else - to become rich. As long as they don't have the money, it'll seem like a worthwhile goal. Once they do, they'll understand how important other things are - and have always been.
有些人的想法存在严重缺陷，他们最希望成为富人。只要他们没有钱，这似乎是一个有价值的目标。一旦他们这样做了，他们就会明白其他事情是多么重要——而且一直如此。
Also, as I lay there thinking of my vision, I could see it all again and feel the meaning with a part of me like a strange power glowing in my body; but when the part of me that talks would try to make words for the meaning, it would be like fog and get away from me.
而且，当我躺在那里想着我的幻觉时，我又能看到这一切，感觉到我身上有一种奇怪的力量在发光。但当我说话的那部分试图用语言来表达意思时，它就像雾一样，离我而去。
Because the mask is your face, the face is a mask, so I'm thinking of the face as a mask because of the way I see faces is coming from an African vision of the mask which is the thing that we carry around with us, it is our presentation, it's our front, it's our face.
因为面具脸,脸是一个面具,我想脸上的面具,因为我看到面临来自非洲的面具是我们随身携带的东西,它是我们的演示,我们的面前,这是我们的脸。
Whether something is old-fashioned or not doesn't resolve the question of whether it's true or not. I can see the temptation of simply thinking, 'Well, there's a cultural mainstream which flows neatly in one direction. You just align with it'. And that really won't do.
有些东西是否过时并不能解决它是否正确的问题。我能看到人们简单地想，‘嗯，有一种文化主流整齐地朝着一个方向流动。你只要和它对齐。这真的不行。
When people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together.
当人们认为地球是平的时候，他们错了。当人们认为地球是球形的时候，他们错了。但是，如果你认为认为地球是球形和认为地球是扁平一样错误，那么你的观点就比这两种观点加起来还要错误。
The evidence that I see around me in society indicates that not only is thinking very much out of favor, but I'm not sure that the last couple of generations - Generation X and Generation Next, or whatever you want to call them - even know what a thought is, having been raised to be women.
我看到我周围的证据在社会表明不仅是思维非常忙,但我不确定,过去的几代- X一代和下一代,或者无论你想叫他们,甚至知道一个想法是什么,已经提高到是女性。
We have been abandoned by our own country. And he said, 'Yeah, mama, somebody's coming to get you. Somebody's coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Thursday. Somebody's coming to get you on Friday.' And she drowned Friday night.
我们被自己的国家抛弃了。他说，‘是的，妈妈，有人来接你了。星期二有人来接你。星期三有人来接你。星期四有人来接你。星期五有人来接你。星期五晚上她淹死了。
I remember kind of doing early acting and thinking, 'God, they don't paint behind the sets.' It's a bit of a shame, really - 'Oh, what's on the other side of this wall? Oh, you can see the plywood.' I was really disappointed. I just thought that these things were real, from watching things as a kid.
我记得在早期的表演中，我想，‘天哪，他们不会在布景后面画画。“真有点遗憾，真的——”“哦，这面墙的另一边是什么?”哦，你可以看到胶合板。“我真的很失望。我只是觉得这些东西是真实的，从我小时候看的东西来看。

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。
Whether you think you can, or think you can't. You're right.
无论你认为你能，还是认为你不能。你是对的。
