A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
尝试
Trying
Embrace the faff. Stare out of the window. Bend paperclips. Stand in the middle of the room trying to remember what you came downstairs for. Pace. Drum your fingertips. Move papers around. Hum. Look at the garden.
拥抱小题大作。凝视窗外。弯曲回形针。站在房间中间,试着回忆你下楼来干什么。的步伐。鼓指尖。移动文件。嗡嗡声。看花园。
We've had public hearings. We've had interim reports, which our statute has encouraged us to provide to the public. We have brought the public along with us, trying to make as much available as possible over time.
我们举行了公开听证会。我们有一些临时报告,我们的法规鼓励我们向公众提供这些报告。我们让公众和我们一起努力,随着时间的推移,尽可能多地提供信息。
All I'm going to tell you is investigations, whether it be this and others, where you have partial facts, analysts, agents are always trying to interpret what those facts mean, extrapolate from them what they mean.
我要告诉你们的是调查,不管是这个还是其他的,只要有部分事实,分析人员,特工总是试图解释这些事实的含义,并从中推断出它们的含义。
I'm trying to eliminate every vestige of my own personality, style, approach and get into somebody else's skin. Sometimes I feel I've accomplished it. But when I don't, I'm nobody at all, having left myself at home.
我试图消除我自己的个性、风格、方法的每一个痕迹,进入别人的皮肤。有时我觉得我已经做到了。但如果我不这样做,我就什么都不是,因为我把自己留在了家里。
I need to keep my story count high. I'm trying to get as many stories in my hour as is humanly possible. We're telling more stories in our hour than any national newscast has in the history of this business, I think.
我要让我的故事有价值。我想在我的时间里尽可能多地收集一些故事。我想,我们在自己的时间里讲的故事比任何一个全国性的新闻节目都要多。
Sanctions and negotiations can be very ineffective, and indeed foolish, unless the people you are talking with and negotiating with and trying to reach agreements with are people who can be trusted to keep their word.
制裁和谈判可能非常无效,而且确实愚蠢,除非与你交谈、谈判并试图达成协议的人是可以信任的守信用者。
They are a fairly aggressive conservation organization that was started to protect the great whales particularly, but in general all marine life around the world. So those are the people I'm trying to attach my name to.
他们是一个相当激进的保护组织,成立之初是为了保护大鲸,但总的来说是为了保护世界上所有的海洋生物。这些就是我想要把我的名字和他们联系起来的人。
He was just trying to tease me - I knew that later - but he said he'd have to leave because it wasn't fair to have anyone in the room who was going to make fun of what he had to say. He had a good sense of humor, really.
他只是想戏弄我——我后来知道了——但他说他必须离开,因为房间里有人要取笑他的话是不公平的。他真的很有幽默感。
Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.
无论我在生活中尝试做什么,我都全心全意地去做好它;无论我献身于什么,我都完全献身于它;在远大的目标上,在渺小的目标上,我始终是彻底认真的。
Al Qaeda is not the organization now that it was before. It is under stress organizationally. Its leadership spends more time trying to figure out how to keep from getting caught than they do trying to launch operations.
基地组织已经不是以前的那个组织了。它在组织上承受着压力。它的领导层花了更多的时间想办法避免被抓,而不是试图发起行动。
I think that what most artists are trying to do is trying to understand. I think what distinguishes creative people and/or artists from another type of person is perhaps a willingness to go headlong into that uncertainty.
我认为大多数艺术家想要做的就是去理解。我认为,有创造力的人和/或艺术家与其他类型的人的区别在于,他们可能愿意一头扎进这种不确定性之中。
You will attract the younger generation and they might well prove tougher than the older generation. What we are trying to do is to look at the future and see what we can do to bring some stability back to people's lives.

I'm really trying to respond to the foods that are in the stores and just pulling the things that are the very best and cook what looks beautiful and is seasonal. That's the way to go. I love going to the grocery store and the market. None of it's drudgery for me. Washing dishes is the drudgery.
我试着对商店里的食物做出反应,挑出最好吃的,做出看起来很漂亮的应季菜。那才是正道。我喜欢去杂货店和市场。这些对我来说都不是苦差事。洗碗是件苦差事。
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?
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。
