A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
尝试
Trying
I don't know who I touch and who I don't. I work hard trying to make people laugh. I try to do the kind of stuff that made me laugh growing up. I don't have any secrets. I don't know the reasons I've been so well received.
我不知道我碰过谁，也不知道我不碰谁。我努力让人们笑。我试着做一些能让我笑着长大的事情。我没有什么秘密。我不知道为什么我受到如此热烈的欢迎。
I think some of the best reporters are the ones who can really illustrate the differences between societies, at the same time trying to connect the fact that there are a lot of shared values in addition to those differences.
我认为，一些最好的记者能够真实地阐述社会之间的差异，同时试图将除了这些差异之外还有许多共同的价值观这一事实联系起来。
I'm trying to build a strong business. I want to create new stars, new shows and new products for my audience and create a legacy that outlives me. There are so many other ways I want to reach women besides doing a talk show.
我想建立一个强大的企业。我想为我的观众创造新的明星、新的节目和新的产品，创造比我更有生命力的遗产。除了做脱口秀，我还想通过很多其他方式接触女性。
I was trying to convince all these men to try to make a product that they didn't even wear! Or if they did wear them, they were not admitting it! There was the problem right there. No wonder their hosiery was so uncomfortable.
我试图说服所有这些男人尝试做一种他们甚至不穿的产品!或者即使他们真的戴了，他们也不承认!问题就在这里。难怪他们的袜子这么不舒服。
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。
I'm always trying to reach a transcendent point, a romantic point, but reach it in a really unconventional way, a really profane way. To get to that romantic, touching, heartbreaking place, but through a lot of acts of profanity.
我总是试图达到一种超然的境界，一种浪漫的境界，但是是以一种非传统的，亵渎神灵的方式。去到那个浪漫、感人、令人心碎的地方，却要经历很多亵渎神明的行为。
I would go visit my mom on Sundays, and my brother was working on stuff. I'd go in there and sing a little melody, then we started working with words and the next thing you know it was just born organically without really trying.
星期天我会去看我妈妈，而我哥哥正在做一些事情。我要进去唱一段旋律，然后我们开始用单词来练习，接下来你知道的是，它就这样自然而然地诞生了，而不是真正地去尝试。
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。
It's kind of like trying to make straight lines from curves, but involving shapes that sort of dictate what the curves are, if you like, and the difference between two separate pieces creates a third transitional piece if you like.
这有点像试图从曲线中画出直线，但是涉及到形状，如果你喜欢的话，这些形状决定了这些曲线是什么，如果你喜欢的话，两个独立的部分之间的差异创造了第三个过渡部分。
But I've been there and done that. I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody, and if somebody wants me to come, if they can afford what I ask, it's not as much as Madonna makes; not that I want what Madonna makes, but I was saying.
但我也经历过。我不想向任何人证明任何东西，如果有人想让我来，如果他们能负担得起我的要求，那就没有麦当娜赚得多;不是我想要麦当娜做的，而是我想说的。
If someone really wanted you, they'd actually put some effort into trying to get your attention, and make sacrifices for you. They wouldn't just tell you they want you; they'd show you in every little way possible that they want you.
如果有人真的想要你，他们会付出一些努力来吸引你的注意，并为你做出牺牲。他们不会只告诉你他们想要你;他们会用各种可能的方式告诉你他们想要你。
Well, we promised our fans that we'd put out records faster, and that's what we're doing. We figured out a way to condense our cycle, so to speak, by... continuing to write, trying to keep the creative ball rolling as often as possible.
嗯，我们向我们的歌迷承诺我们会更快地推出唱片，这就是我们正在做的。我们找到了一种压缩循环的方法，可以说，通过……继续写作，尽可能多地保持创造性。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
If you don't make mistakes, you aren't really trying.
如果你不犯错，你就没有真正地去尝试。
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
世界上大多数重要的事情都是由那些在似乎没有任何希望的时候继续努力的人完成的。
That's really what science is just trying to figure stuff out, and I like figuring stuff out.
这就是科学想要解决的问题，我喜欢解决问题。
I try to reach out to my idols.
我试着去接近我的偶像。
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。
The first time I ever recorded, which was into my boom-box, I was like, 'Wow, check that out.' It sounded great. The narcotic of it was so intense - it was pleasurable. I was like, 'You sound like a band.' Then I ended up spending the rest of my life trying to chase that initial high again.
我第一次录音的时候，是在我的录音机里。听起来很棒。它的麻醉作用是如此强烈，令人愉悦。我说，‘你听起来像个乐队。然后，我的余生都在试图再次追逐那最初的快感。
