A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
尝试
Trying
Actually ideas are everywhere. It's the paperwork, that is, sitting down and thinking them into a coherent story, trying to find just the right words, that can and usually does get to be labor.
事实上,创意无处不在。这是文书工作,也就是说,坐下来,把它们想成一个连贯的故事,试着找到合适的词,这可以而且通常确实是一件费力的事。
What I'm trying to do now in my life - not just with the building, but with everything - is to construct things that will have enduring qualities, and won't just be ephemeral flashes in the pan.
我现在在我的生活中尝试做的——不仅仅是对建筑,而是对所有的东西——是建造一些具有持久品质的东西,而不是昙花一现。
The hardest thing is to ski your count in your head. You are counting and trying to visually look down the hill to stay in synch with who your leader is. You are using visual skills and thinking.

I think reading is important in any form. I think a person who's trying to learn to like reading should start off reading about a topic they are interested in, or a person they are interested in.
我认为任何形式的阅读都是重要的。我认为一个想要学会喜欢阅读的人应该从他们感兴趣的话题开始,或者从他们感兴趣的人开始。

I'm in a position now where I can play certain roles and when I get older, I won't be able to. So, I don't have a strategy of trying to grow up too quick, I just want to kind of look at everything.
我现在的处境是,我可以扮演某些角色,但当我长大了,我就不能了。所以,我没有试图快速成长的策略,我只是想看看所有的东西。
Yeah, it's more like playing what you think is appropriate for the moment. It's not about trying to force any particular style within the parameters - and the parameters we play in are pretty large!
是的,这更像是玩你认为合适的游戏。它不是试图在参数中强制任何特定的样式——我们使用的参数非常大!

I've always tried to do my best on the ball field. I can't do any more than that. I always try to give one hundred percent; and if my team loses, I come back and give one hundred percent the next day.

It doesn't matter if you've failed, if you've been beaten. All that really matter is if you get back up and try again. Because winning is fun, but winning when nobody thought you would is just awesome.

The Heisman attention has definitely been a little bit of a surprise. It's been out of my hands. It's something I'm not focused on. I'm focused on the season and trying to win as many games as possible.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
It was like pulling teeth trying to get me to L.A. I hated it for so long, but now I've got this great life here.
这句话的意思是:“要把我送到洛杉机去,我真是费了九牛二虎之力。我恨了好久,但是现在我在这儿过得很好。”
What I was trying to convey there was the kind of waste land that was left after the war. It was a bit like one always thinks of war, you know, stark scenery and no birds, no trees, no leaves, nothing living. And just emptiness.
我想表达的是战后留下的那种荒地。这有点像人们总是想到战争,你知道,荒凉的景色,没有鸟,没有树,没有树叶,没有任何生物。,只是空虚。

Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.
你的问题是你将如何度过这奇特而宝贵的一生。不管你是想要花时间让自己看起来很好,并制造出一种错觉,认为自己拥有控制人和环境的能力,还是想要品尝它,享受它,并发现关于自己的真相。
I don't make records that way, where I'm trying to please the marketplace or anything. Not because I have anything against that, it's just never been a part of my aesthetic, even when I was with the Pixies.
我不会这样做,我只是想取悦市场或其他东西。不是因为我反对那样做,而是因为它从来不是我审美的一部分,即使当我和小精灵在一起的时候。
It's just a way of trying to get to a third thing that's not particular to any quote-unquote genre. It's been great for me; it's really opened me up and gotten me to use that part of my imagination. It's very scary in a lot of ways, and just as exciting.
这只是一种尝试去做第三件事的方式,而这第三件事并不是任何所谓的流派所特有的。这对我来说很好;它真的打开了我的眼界,让我发挥了那部分想象力。这在很多方面都很可怕,但同样令人兴奋。
