A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
认为
Thought
I used to think about how nice it would be to visit the planets. Of course, I didn't expect to see in my lifetime what has happened. I knew it would happen some day, but it came along faster than I at first thought.
我过去常常想,要是能到行星上去看看该有多好。当然,我没有料到在我有生之年会发生什么。我知道它总有一天会发生,但它来得比我最初想的要快。
I have long thought that anyone who does not regularly - or ever - gaze up and see the wonder and glory of a dark night sky filled with countless stars loses a sense of their fundamental connectedness to the universe.
长期以来,我一直认为,如果一个人不定期——或者从来没有——抬头看看布满无数星星的漆黑夜空的奇观和荣耀,他就会失去一种与宇宙基本联系的感觉。
I never studied directing and I never really thought about doing it, and then I just found myself in that situation and tried it. I like to be observing everything else, and I get self-conscious in front of the camera.
我从来没有学过导演,也从来没有真正想过要做导演,然后我发现自己处于那种情况下,就试了一下。我喜欢观察其他的一切,在镜头前我会感到很不自在。
This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work - they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night, perhaps.
这正是我看到奴隶在工作时的想法——他们似乎在做着没有力气的劳动。它们把自己的力量储存起来,也许在晚上自己使用。
I had immediate success in the sense that I sold something right off the bat. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake and it really wasn't. I have drawers full of - or I did have - drawers full of rejection slips.
我立刻就成功了,因为我马上就卖出去了一些东西。我原以为会是小菜一碟,但事实并非如此。我的抽屉里——或者我确实有——装满了退稿单。
I'd always thought the Rats were good fun, but one of the very nice things about being of Saga age is that I can actually look back and think, When I was younger I was in a great band. It was always a collective thing.
我一直认为老鼠很有趣,但佐贺年龄的好处之一是,我可以回顾过去并思考,当我年轻的时候,我在一个很棒的乐队里。它总是一个集体的东西。
When assumptions were made that I was going to bail out there was a little part of my brain that thought 'I am going to do to prove them wrong'. In the end that wouldn't be coming from my heart and doing what was right.

The teacher that I was for decades, and that I still am in a certain way, wondered what was meant by the word education. I was truly dumbfounded at the very thought of dealing with such an essential and extensive subject.

While I was doing stand-up, I thought I knew for sure that success meant getting everyone to like me. So I became whoever I thought people wanted me to be. I'd say yes when I wanted to say no, and I even wore a few dresses.
当我在做单口相声时,我想我肯定成功意味着让每个人都喜欢我。所以我成为了人们想让我成为的那个人。当我想说“不”的时候我会说“是”,我甚至还穿了几件衣服。
Whenever I release a record, it's my record. It's not a selfish thought. I may work all year 'round for other people. So, finally, when I come out with my own album, it should be me with the creative help of other musicians.
每当我发行一张唱片,它就是我的唱片。这不是自私的想法。我可能全年都在为别人工作。所以,最后,当我推出自己的专辑时,应该是我在其他音乐家的创造性帮助下。
My character is somebody who is smaller in stature and yet who's strong, so to see the fighting situations between people who are not generally thought of being strong is in itself unusual and therefore interesting, I think.
我的角色是一个身材矮小但很强壮的人,所以看到一般认为不强壮的人之间的战斗场面本身就是不寻常的,因此我觉得很有趣。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I'm fulfilled in what I do. I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes - the finer things of life - would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.
