A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
今天
Today
I fear some of our leaders today have lost the courage to stand up. What we have now are politicians. They won't offer real plans, and only stand up when they want to blame someone else.
我担心我们今天的一些领导人已经失去了站起来的勇气。我们现在拥有的是政治家。他们不会提供真正的计划,只有当他们想指责别人的时候才会站起来。
I'm not retiring. I am graduating. Today is my graduation day. Retirement means that you'll just go ahead and live on your laurels and surf all day in Oceanside. It ain't going to happen.
我不退休。我毕业。今天是我的毕业日。退休意味着你可以安享现有的生活,整天在海滨冲浪。这是不可能发生的。
Today, many people take for granted the notion that people whose lives are going to be very heavily affected by public policies should have a say in how they are formulated and carried out.
今天,许多人想当然地认为,那些生活将受到公共政策严重影响的人应该对这些政策的制定和执行有发言权。
Models now need to promote themselves, think like businesswomen and diversify their careers by doing other things. Chances are very slim that a mere model will become a household name today.
模特们现在需要提升自己,像商业女性一样思考,通过做其他事情来丰富自己的职业生涯。如今,仅仅一个模特成为家喻户晓的名字的机会非常渺茫。
I'm blown away by the graphical detail of today's games. I can't imagine that it's going to get any better, but it's just going to continually progress and soon we'll be living in that world.
我被今天游戏的图形细节所震撼。我无法想象它会变得更好,但它会不断进步,很快我们就会生活在那个世界上。
My first attempts to transmit typhus to laboratory animals, including the smaller species of monkeys, had failed, as had those of my predecessors, for reasons which I can easily supply today.
我第一次尝试将斑疹伤寒传染给实验动物,包括较小种类的猴子,但和我的前辈一样失败了,原因我今天很容易就能解释清楚。
From the practical point of view, the susceptibility to infection of the guinea pig proved to be the most useful step forward. Today, all laboratories use this animal for preserving the virus.
从实际的角度来看,豚鼠对感染的易感性被证明是向前迈出的最有用的一步。今天,所有的实验室都用这种动物来保存病毒。
The only way to get people to like working hard is to motivate them. Today, people must understand why they're working hard. Every individual in an organization is motivated by something different.
让人们喜欢努力工作的唯一方法就是激励他们。今天,人们必须明白他们为什么努力工作。组织中的每个人都有不同的动机。
And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. ... I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.
接受是我今天所有问题的答案。除非我接受那个人、那个地方、这件事或某个情境,让它成为此刻应该成为的样子,否则我无法找到平静。
For any of us in this room today, let's start out by admitting we're lucky. We don't live in the world our mothers lived in, our grandmothers lived in, where career choices for women were so limited.
今天在座的各位,让我们首先承认我们是幸运的。我们并不是生活在我们母亲和祖母所生活的世界里,在那个世界里,女性的职业选择非常有限。
Digital is a different world because you are sitting at home and a hi tech piece of equipment today is within reach of most people, so they are watching a pretty hi tech version of whatever you've done.
数字是一个不同的世界,因为你坐在家里,今天大多数人都能接触到高科技设备,所以他们正在观看你所做的任何事情的一个相当高科技的版本。
Let's choose today to quench our thirst for the good life we thinks others lead by acknowledging the good that already exists in our lives. We can then offer the universe the gift of our grateful hearts.
让我们选择今天,通过承认我们生活中已经存在的美好,来满足我们对他人所过的美好生活的渴望。然后,我们可以向宇宙献上我们感恩的心。
