A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
今天
Today
If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotized by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.
如果我们能提供的唯一的新东西是过去的改进版本,那么今天只能比昨天差。被过去的景象所催眠,我们可能会失去所有创造改变的能力。
I never had the exposure to techniques and so forth that children have today with art workshops, but I always had crayons and pencils and still have work going right back to when I was five or six years old.
我从未接触过今天孩子们在艺术工作室里接触到的技巧,但我总是有蜡笔和铅笔,直到我五、六岁的时候,我还有很多工作要做。
I think what's really amazing is that given the scale of the web and getting the compute power we have today, we're starting to see things that appear intelligent but actually aren't semantically intelligent.
我认为真正令人惊奇的是,考虑到网络的规模和我们今天所拥有的计算能力,我们开始看到一些看起来很智能但实际上并不具备语义智能的东西。
But there was no question in my mind that I was gonna still go for it. I was still going for the win. I wasn't skiing for second or third place today, and in the end I think that's probably what got me there.
但毫无疑问,我还是要去争取。我仍然在争取胜利。我今天不是为了第二名或第三名才去滑雪的,我想最终我可能就是因为这个才去的。
It was my father who instilled the 'never say no' attitude I carry around with me today, and who instilled in me a sense of wonder, always taking us on adventures in the car, never telling us the destination.

Today, we are announcing that agencies are releasing their final regulatory reform plans, including hundreds of initiatives that will reduce costs, simplify the system, and eliminate redundancy and inconsistency.

Young women today often have very little appreciation for the real battles that took place to get women where they are today in this country. I don't know how much history young women today know about those battles.

Increasingly, stars are recruited from the ranks of professional models, with the result that today's starlets are better dressed and better groomed than ever before, though it is doubtful if they are better actresses.
越来越多的明星是从职业模特队伍中招募的,其结果是,如今的小明星们比以往任何时候都穿得更好,打扮得更好,尽管人们怀疑她们是否是更好的女演员。
I couldn't be an ingenue today, because the business has changed. I remember when you could dress for a premiere just by putting on a cute top. Now you have to be perfect and fabulous in every way, or you're ridiculed.

Nowadays you really have to pump out that blockbuster in order to have the luxury of getting a body of work, and that's sad because the work suffers. Today everything is based on money. The older actors, they inspire me.
如今,你真的必须要拍出大片,才能享受得到大量作品的奢侈,这很悲哀,因为作品受到了影响。今天一切都以钱为基础。年长的演员,他们激励着我。
The other reason that I am here today, again from the State Department and from the court record of the court of appeals, is that when I am abroad I speak out against the injustices against the Negro people of this land.
我今天来到这里的另一个原因,同样来自国务院和上诉法院的法庭记录,是当我在国外时,我大声疾呼反对这片土地上对黑人的不公正。
Today, as we look back on the history of our nation and take note of how far we have come as a people, we are reminded that we owe a great debt to those who fought valiantly for the freedoms that we easily take for granted.
