A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
今天
Today
The fact that people still know us is, in my opinion, a result of our music and of the big money that runs the music industry today. The people who control the industry are accountants who recycle everything in new, nostalgic packages, and everything else, to make more money.
在我看来，人们仍然了解我们，是我们的音乐和当今音乐产业的巨额资金共同作用的结果。控制这个行业的人是会计师，他们把所有的东西都用新的、怀旧的包装和其他的东西来回收，以赚更多的钱。
Oprah was not somebody who was telling us what to do, she wasn't really teaching us like so many people we see today. With Oprah, she was learning and we were learning with her. And I think that's really was the seed that was planted for all of us to just hang in there with her.
奥普拉并不是一个告诉我们该做什么的人，她并没有像我们今天看到的许多人那样真正地教我们。她和奥普拉一起学习，我们也和她一起学习。我想那真的是种下的种子，让我们所有人都能坚持下去。
Today's preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science - to question all things relentlessly. Modern physics has become like Swift's kingdom of Laputa, flying absurdly on an island above the earth and indifferent to what is beneath.
今天对万物物理理论的关注，偏离了科学的目的——无情地质疑万物。现代物理学已经变得像斯威夫特的拉皮塔王国，荒谬地飞在地球上方的一个岛上，对地球下方的一切漠不关心。
There is one timeless way of building. It is a thousand years old, and the same today as it has ever been. The great traditional buildings of the past, the villages and tents and temples in which man feels at home, have always been made by people who were very close to the center of this way.
有一种永恒的建筑方式。它已经有一千年的历史了，今天和过去一样。过去伟大的传统建筑，村庄，帐篷和寺庙，让人有宾至如归的感觉，总是由离这条路很近的人建造的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
It was important to score points today and I went for them with my guts.
今天得分很重要，我用我的勇气去争取。
Today's accomplishments were yesterday's impossibilities.
今天的成就是昨天不可能实现的。
If Roosevelt were alive today, he'd turn over in his grave.
如果罗斯福今天还活着，他会在坟墓里翻来覆去。
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。
Compared to today's salaries, our cut was minuscule but it was very good for the time.
与今天的工资相比，我们的削减幅度很小，但在当时是非常好的。
