A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
尝试
Trying
What I am trying to get across to you; is please take of yourselves and those that you love; because that is what we are hear for, that's all we got, and that is all we can take with us. Are you with me?
我想让你明白的;就是请你们自己和你们所爱的人;因为这就是我们所听到的,这就是我们所拥有的,这就是我们所能带走的。你明白我的意思吗?
Ultimately, at the end of it, it's just trying to get into that space where you feel like you're hitting the right thing and you're making music. And it feels intuitive rather than being counterintuitive.
最终,在它的结尾,它只是试着进入那个空间,在那里你感觉你击中了正确的东西,你正在创造音乐。它给人的感觉是直觉的而不是反直觉的。
I ain't scared to do another dating show, but I ain't really trying to. I want to do a talk show or something. I've done enough dating on television. I'm ready to spread my wings, and go down other avenues.
我不害怕再做一个相亲节目,但我真的不想这么做。我想做脱口秀什么的。我在电视上约会已经够多了。我已经准备好展开翅膀,走其他的路。
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。
For me I'm a luxury brand trying to prove to people and the industry that it's not about being a TV celebrity in any which way, it's about being a designer and having a business and being successful at that.
对我来说,我是一个奢侈品牌,试图向人们和整个行业证明,这并不意味着要以任何方式成为电视明星,而是要成为一名设计师,拥有一家企业,并在这方面取得成功。
Right now I'm doing four shows at a time, trying to read four outlines every week, four scripts every week, and watching four rough cuts; it's a lot of good work. It's fun to do it, but it does wear you out.
现在我一次做四个节目,试着每周读四个大纲,每周读四个剧本,看四个粗略的剪辑;这是很好的工作。这样做很有趣,但确实会让你筋疲力尽。
I was just trying out and having some fun. I don't think I'd want to pursue singing as a career; it's an on-the-side thing. It would be great if I could make a career out of it but if I can't, that's OK too.
我只是想试一试,找点乐子。我不认为我想以歌唱为职业;这是一个侧面的东西。如果我能以此为职业,那就太好了,但如果我不能,那也没关系。
We incorporate various electronic devices - the echo plugs and things like that. Actually, all we're trying to do is make that sound musical. As opposed to just making sounds, we do musical things with them.
我们整合了各种各样的电子设备——回声插头之类的东西。实际上,我们想做的就是让它听起来像音乐。与仅仅发出声音相反,我们用它们来做音乐。
I'd always liked to write, but I never wanted to be a writer, because it seemed a sissy occupation. It is. To this day, I find it terribly easy. And so, rather than trying to hunt up a text, I just wrote one.
我一直喜欢写作,但我从来没有想过成为一名作家,因为这似乎是一个娘娘腔的职业。它是。直到今天,我发现这非常容易。所以,我没有去寻找文本,我只是写了一条。
encourage them to do is to understand that there's inflation and growth. It can go higher and lower and to have four different portfolios essentially that make up your entire portfolio that gets you balanced.
鼓励他们这样做是为了让他们明白存在通货膨胀和经济增长。它可以变高,也可以变低,有四种不同的投资组合组成了你的整个投资组合,使你达到平衡。
I was very awkward as a kid. I was a square trying to fit into a circle and it never worked for me. The harder I tried, the harder I fell. For some reason I was a real target and I got beat up and called names.
我小时候很笨手笨脚的。我是一个试图融入一个圆圈的正方形,但它从来没有为我工作过。我越努力,摔得越重。由于某种原因,我成为了一个真正的目标,我被殴打,被辱骂。
I'm afraid I'm still trying to find that balance. Especially now that everyone wants a piece of me. I find that I have to become more and more reclusive, and pick and choose when I am public and when I am private.
恐怕我还在努力寻找平衡。尤其是现在每个人都想了解我。我发现我必须变得越来越孤僻,在公开场合和私下场合都要挑三拣四。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
What is inherently wrong with the word 'politician' if the fellow has devoted his life to holding public office and trying to do something for his people?
如果一个人把他的一生都奉献给了担任公职,并试图为他的人民做些什么,那么“政治家”这个词本身就有什么问题?
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。
When I began I thought that literature was contained within a bubble that somehow floated above the world commented upon by newspapers. But I became more and more interested in trying to include some of that world within my work.
当我开始写作的时候,我认为文学被包含在一个泡沫中,这个泡沫以某种方式漂浮在报纸评论的世界之上。但我越来越有兴趣尝试在我的作品中融入一些这样的世界。
If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.
如果你总是试图做一个正常人,你永远不会知道你能有多棒。
Sometimes I get worried I'm getting too caught up in the nauseatingly oily smoothness of my own line, when all I'm trying to do is make it as clear as possible.
有时候,我担心自己太沉迷于自己的线条令人作呕的油滑,而我所要做的就是尽可能地把它弄清楚。
