A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
想法
Thoughts
I will throw all my best efforts into it, my thoughts and political observations, but ultimately I want to create a narrative that keeps you turning the pages and leaves you with a sense that this thing has a reason for being there.
我将尽我最大的努力，我的想法和政治观察，但最终我想创造一个故事，让你不断翻动书页，让你感觉这件事存在的理由。
Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same.
即使你每次都走完全相同的路线——就像一首十四行诗一样——沿途发生的事情也不可能日复一日地一成不变，因为诗人的健康、视力、预期、情绪、恐惧和思想也不可能一成不变。
To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.
我向所有因我们过去的不幸而遭受痛苦的人表示诚挚的慰问和深切的同情。借助历史的后见之明，我们都可以看到我们希望以不同的方式或根本不这样做的事情。
I feel like I've grown up a bit. I'm a bit more confident, and I've been reading more, and I've had a little more time to myself. I went on this writing trip to gather my thoughts about where and who I am in this world, and why we're all here.
我觉得我长大了一点。我变得更自信了，我读了更多的书，我有更多的时间留给自己。我进行这次写作之旅，是为了收集关于我在这个世界上的位置和我是谁，以及为什么我们都在这里的想法。
Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.
善良的思想比善良的言语和行为更稀有。它们意味着要为他人着想。这本身是罕见的。但他们也暗示了大量的思考他人的想法，而不是批评。这种情况更加罕见。
I write in order to find out what I truly know and how I really feel about certain things. Writing requires me to go much deeper into my thoughts and memories than conversation does. Writing provides the solitude necessary to reflect on being in this world.
我写作是为了找出我真正知道什么，以及我对某些事情的真实感受。写作需要我比谈话更深入地思考和记忆。写作提供了反思这个世界所必需的孤独。
It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else's meal, like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.
只有一个人的基本思想中才有真理和生命。因为这是他真正完全理解的。读别人的思想，就像吃别人吃剩的饭，就像穿陌生人丢弃的衣服。
My mind withdrew its thoughts from experience, extracting itself from the contradictory throng of sensuous images, that it might find out what that light was wherein it was bathed... And thus, with the flash of one hurried glance, it attained to the vision of That Which Is.
我的心把它的思想从经验中抽离出来，把它自己从那一大堆互相矛盾的感官形象中抽离出来，以便找出那沐浴在其中的光明是什么……这样，只要匆匆一瞥，它就达到了存在的视觉。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Humbled by the fact that never in a million years would I ever thought that I would be on the same stage with all these great Hall of Famers and enshrined to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
我谦卑地意识到，我从未想过自己会与所有这些名人堂成员站在同一个舞台上，并被载入国家棒球名人堂。
Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.
音乐是你自己的经历，你自己的思想，你自己的智慧。如果你不好好生活，它就不会从你的号角里出来。他们告诉你音乐是有界限的。但是，伙计，艺术是没有界限的。
A lazy person, whatever the talents with which he set out, will have condemned himself to second-hand thoughts and to second-rate friends.
一个懒惰的人，不管他有什么才能，都会使自己陷入被动的思想和二流的朋友之中。
It is safe to make a choice of your thoughts, scarcely ever safe to express them all.
选择你的思想是安全的，把它们全部表达出来几乎是不安全的。
As thy days, so shall thy strength be which, in modern language, may be translated as thy thoughts so shall thy life be.
你的日子怎样，你的力量也要怎样。用现代语言来解释，你的思想和你的生活也要怎样。
Genuine good taste consists in saying much in few words, in choosing among our thoughts, in having order and arrangement in what we say, and in speaking with.
真正的好品味在于言简意赅，在我们的思想中进行选择，在我们所说的话中保持秩序和安排，以及与人交谈。
