A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
真正
True
Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.
相信我,老年是一件美好而愉快的事情。诚然,你被轻轻地推下了舞台,但随后你作为观众得到了一个如此舒适的前排座位。
It's also true, however, that having conquered the regional writer ghetto, I am now intent on conquering the nationalist writer ghetto and moving out into the world more.
然而,同样真实的是,在征服了地区作家贫民区之后,我现在正打算征服民族主义作家贫民区,并更多地走向世界。
Everything they say about Elvis today is true. He was just one great guy. He wasn't jealous of anyone. I would say Elvis was really someone special when you add it all up.
他们今天所说的关于埃尔维斯的一切都是真的。他只是一个伟大的人。他不嫉妒任何人。如果你把这些都加起来,我会说猫王真的很特别。
If information is true, if it can be verified, and if it's really important, the newspaper needs to be willing to take the risk associated with using unidentified sources.
如果信息是真实的,如果它可以被证实,如果它真的很重要,报纸需要愿意承担与使用不明来源相关的风险。
Every man who has shown the world the way to beauty, to true culture, has been a rebel, a 'universal' without patriotism, without home, who has found his people everywhere.
每一个向世界展示了通向美、通向真正文化之路的人,都是一个叛逆者,一个没有爱国主义、没有家园的“普世”者,他发现自己的人民无处不在。
No statement about God is simply, literally true. God is far more than can be measured, described, defined in ordinary language, or pinned down to any particular happening.
没有任何关于上帝的陈述是简单的,字面上是正确的。上帝是远远超过可以测量,描述,定义在普通的语言,或固定到任何特定的发生。
Generally speaking, I went through that. I came to a place where I realised what true value was. It wasn't money. Money is a means to achieving an end, but it's not the end.
一般来说,我经历过。我来到一个地方,在那里我意识到什么才是真正的价值。这不是钱。金钱是达到目的的一种手段,但不是目的。
All that you may achieve or discover you will regard as a fragment of a larger pattern of the truth which from the separate approaches every true scholar is striving to descry.
所有你可能达到或发现的,你都将被视为真理的一个更大模式的片段,每个真正的学者都在从不同的方法中努力去发现这个模式。
After all those days in the cotton fields, the dreams came true on a gold record on a piece of wood. It's in my den where I can look at it every day. I wear it out lookin' at it.
在棉花地里度过了那么多日子之后,梦想在一块木头上的金唱片上实现了。它在我的书房里,我每天都能看到它。我看着它就穿坏了。
As far as I know, only a small minority of mathematicians, even of those with Platonist views, accept the idea that there may be mathematical facts which are true but unknowable.
据我所知,只有一小部分数学家,甚至包括那些柏拉图主义者,接受这样的观点,即可能存在真实但不可知的数学事实。
It's good to raise awareness that men and boys are struggling, at least many of them are. But why say men are finished? It's too harsh, too sweeping, and it happens to not be true.
让人们意识到男人和男孩都在挣扎,这是件好事,至少他们中的许多人都在挣扎。但为什么说男人完了呢?这太苛刻了,太笼统了,而且碰巧不是真的。
My daughter is a good, caring, compassionate person. To me that's the true meaning of success, even though the marriages didn't work out. My success with my daughter is all that matters.
我女儿是一个善良、有爱心、富有同情心的人。对我来说,这才是成功的真正含义,即使婚姻并不成功。我和女儿的成功才是最重要的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.
爱是我们真正的命运。我们不能独自找到生命的意义——我们可以和别人一起找到。
Agency by agency, we frequently have lost a bit of ground, at least to inflation-but had it not been for the efforts we've made to educate people about the importance of science, technology and advanced education, those predictions very well might have come true.
一个机构接一个机构,我们经常失去一些阵地,至少是在通货膨胀面前——但是,如果不是我们努力教育人们科学、技术和高等教育的重要性,这些预测很可能已经成为现实。
The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.
让梦想成真的最好方法就是醒来。
We're taught Lord Acton's axiom: all power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I believed that when I started these books, but I don't believe it's always true any more. Power doesn't always corrupt. Power can cleanse. What I believe is always true about power is that power always reveals.
我们学过阿克顿勋爵的格言:所有的权力都腐败,绝对的权力绝对腐败。当我开始写这些书的时候,我相信这一点,但现在我不再相信这一点了。权力并不总是腐败的。权力可以净化。我相信关于权力总是正确的是权力总是揭示。
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
如果我们有勇气去追求,我们所有的梦想都可以实现。
It is a cliche that most cliches are true, but then like most cliches, that cliche is untrue.
这是一个陈词滥调,大多数陈词滥调是真实的,但就像大多数陈词滥调一样,这个陈词滥调是不真实的。
