A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
图书
Books
When I decided to take writing seriously, I did a lot of reading and analyzing of the books I liked, and came up with what I thought were pretty sound plotting and structure basics.
当我决定认真对待写作时，我对自己喜欢的书进行了大量的阅读和分析，得出了我认为相当合理的情节和结构基础。
I tend to turn down books originally published as e-books. As for selling books directly to e-book publishers, I would do so only if all traditional publishers had turned them down.
我倾向于拒绝最初以电子书形式出版的书籍。至于直接把书卖给电子书出版商，我只会在所有传统出版商都拒绝的情况下这么做。
Being rich is not about how much money you have or how many homes you own; it's the freedom to buy any book you want without looking at the price and wondering if you can afford it.
富有不是你有多少钱或者你有多少房子;这是一种自由，你可以买任何你想要的书，而不用看价格，不知道你是否能买得起。
In the sea of words, the in print is foam, surf bubbles riding the top. And it's a dark sea, and deep, where divers need lights on their helmets and would perish at the lower depths.
在文字的海洋里，印出来的是泡沫，浪花的泡沫骑在上面。这是一片黑暗的海洋，而且很深，潜水员需要戴上头盔，在较低的深度就会死亡。
In the library I felt better, words you could trust and look at till you understood them, they couldn't change half way through a sentence like people, so it was easier to spot a lie.
在图书馆里，我感觉好多了，你可以信任的词，你可以看着它们直到你理解它们，它们不会像人一样在句子中间改变，所以更容易识破谎言。
A book is a vacation for the mind. My books will take you inside my mind, so feel free to make yourself at home. Do as you please, but please don’t put your feet up on my hippocampus.
书是心灵的假期。我的书会把你带进我的脑海，所以请不要拘束。随你的便，但请不要把你的脚放在我的海马上。
We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.
我们读书来发现我们是谁。其他人，真实的或想象的，做了什么，想了什么，感觉了什么……是我们理解自己是什么和可能成为什么样子的重要指南。
I'm sure you're aware, with the time it takes to put these books together, everything can suddenly start coming out at once even though I wrote anything between one and five years ago.
我相信你们都知道，随着把这些书放在一起所花的时间，所有的东西都可能突然开始同时出现，即使我在一到五年前写过任何东西。
My recipes aren't geared towards women; my books are marketed towards women because women are the biggest market for weight loss, weight management and weight maintenance and for cooking.
我的食谱不适合女性;我的书是针对女性的，因为女性是减肥、体重管理、体重维持和烹饪的最大市场。
I was very interested in vaudeville. It was the only sort of discipline that was a five-minute act on stage, which is what I really enjoyed and saw myself doing. And I bought books on it.
我对杂耍很感兴趣。这是唯一的一种纪律，就是在舞台上表演五分钟，这是我真正喜欢并看到自己在做的事情。我在上面买了书。
Writers seldom choose as friends those self-contained characters who are never in trouble, never unhappy or ill, never make mistakes and always count their change when it is handed to them.
作家很少选择那些自成一体的人物作为朋友，他们从不惹麻烦，从不不开心或生病，从不犯错误，总是在别人给他们找钱的时候数数。
The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.
最大的礼物是对阅读的热情。它很便宜，它能安慰人，它能分散注意力，它能让人兴奋，它能让你了解世界，获得广泛的体验。这是一种道德启示。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
When was the last time you read a book? The truth now. And picture books don't count-I mean something with print in it.
你最后一次读书是什么时候?真相了。而且图画书不算数——我的意思是有印刷品的东西。
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!
我声明，毕竟没有什么享受像阅读!一个人对任何事情的厌倦都比厌倦一本书快得多!
Some books leave us free and some books make us free.
有些书让我们自由，有些书让我们自由。
The real purpose of books is to trap the mind into doing its own thinking.
书籍真正的目的，是引导头脑开始独立思考。
'Classic.' A book which people praise and don't read.
