A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
书
Book
When a book raises your spirit, and inspires you with noble and courageous feelings, seek for no other rule to judge the event by; it is good and made by a good workman.
当一本书激发你的精神，激发你高尚而勇敢的情感时，不要用其他任何规则来评判这件事;它很好，是由一个好工人做的。
As far as advice, that will be in my next book, my next collection. I certainly never like to instruct anyone, but just say as I feel. That's the same as advice, isn't it?
至于建议，那将是我的下一本书，我的下一个收藏。我当然不喜欢指导别人，但我只是凭感觉说。这和建议是一样的，不是吗?
Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.
买书是一件好事，如果你还能买到时间来阅读的话:但是一般来说，买书会被误认为是占用了书的内容。
In addition, we were unable to meet openly to discuss the progress of the book, for we were both on the list of persons banned from communicating with other banned persons.
此外，我们不能公开见面讨论这本书的进展，因为我们都在被禁止与其他被禁止的人交流的名单上。
Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind, which are delivered down from generation to generation as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn.
书籍是伟大的天才留给人类的遗产，它作为礼物代代相传，传给尚未出生的人。
The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.
书的精华不在于它所包含的思想，而在于它所暗示的思想;正如音乐的魅力不在于它的音调，而在于我们心灵的共鸣。
The book came after the fall of the Taliban, it says something about Afghan family life. Those kind of stories - what happens behind the scenes on a TV screen - are important.
这本书是在塔利班倒台后出版的，它讲述了一些关于阿富汗家庭生活的事情。这些故事——在电视屏幕的幕后发生的事情——是很重要的。
At the moment, I'm toying with a new idea for a book, but fully engaged with writing screenplays, so the book idea - which needs empty space in my head - is barely formed yet.
目前，我正在考虑写一本书的新想法，但我正忙于写剧本，所以我的书的想法——需要在我的脑海中留下空白——还没有形成。
I think because I try to keep things as real as I can, or I try to start from a place of reality, I almost don't have the imagination to write a book that's not set where I am.
我想，因为我试着让事情尽可能的真实，或者我试着从一个真实的地方开始，我几乎没有想象力去写一本不以我为背景的书。
This book, conceived in sorrow, composed in grief, and constructed at the brink of despair, contains my mind's best thoughts, and my soul's triumph over the powers of darkness.
这本书，构思于悲伤之中，构思于悲伤之中，构建于绝望的边缘，包含了我头脑中最好的思想，以及我的灵魂战胜黑暗力量的胜利。
An empty book is like an infant's soul, in which anything may be written. It is capable of all things, but containeth nothing. I have a mind to fill this with profitable wonders.
一本空书就像一个婴儿的灵魂，里面可以写任何东西。它能容纳一切，却什么也不包含。我想让这一切充满有益的奇迹。
Our life is a book that writes itself and whose principal themes sometimes escape us. We are like characters in a novel who do not always understand what the author wants of them.
我们的生活是一本自己写的书，它的主题有时会从我们的脑海中消失。我们就像小说中的人物，并不总是理解作者想要他们做什么。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
If a book is made up of things that are hard to believe, then we were like something out of a book.
如果一本书是由难以置信的东西组成的，那么我们就像从书中走出来的东西。
A book is a dream that you hold in your hands.
一本书是你手中的一个梦。
A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.
一本书一定是我们内心冰冷大海的斧子。
My dream was to be known as a writer and to be able to produce at least one book that would be read by people. That dream came true with the publication of my first novel - and all the rest has been a sweet bonus.
我的梦想是成为一名作家，能够写出至少一本书供人们阅读。随着我的第一部小说的出版，这个梦想实现了——而其他的一切都是甜蜜的奖励。
You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.
你永远找不到一杯足够大的茶或一本书足够长来适合我。
