A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
尝试
Trying
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。
And the camera position, the organization, looking for repeating forms, shapes, trying to set up a visual rhythm seemed to come very natural. All of a sudden I was in a forest of aluminum and steel rather than a forest that we might think of in a traditional sense.
而相机的位置,组织,寻找重复的形式,形状,试图建立一个视觉节奏似乎是非常自然的。突然间,我进入了一片铝和钢的森林,而不是传统意义上的森林。
I've found that in now having experienced what it's like to make records and just through growing up in general that you should be expressive about what's affecting you instead of trying to sing about a subject just for the sake of other people getting something from it.
我发现,在经历了录制唱片的过程之后,在成长的过程中,你应该表达出那些影响你的东西,而不是仅仅为了让别人从中得到一些东西而唱出一个主题。
The Yale group was doing the Harold. So by our senior year we were trying to do the Harold. Again, we had no idea what we were doing. We had one guy in the group who was pretty experimental; he would kind of push us to do weird things. It was really fun, a great experience.
耶鲁小组在做哈罗德。所以到大四的时候,我们想做哈罗德。同样,我们也不知道自己在做什么。我们组中有一个人很有实验精神;他会强迫我们做一些奇怪的事情。非常有趣,非常棒的经历。
With the rise of cable, network is clearly floundering because the characters on cable are far more fascinating than they are on network. Network television is trying to figure it out. Network television really relies on story rather than character, and cable relies on character.
随着有线电视的兴起,网络显然陷入了困境,因为有线电视上的角色远比网络上的角色更吸引人。网络电视正试图解决这个问题。网络电视真正依赖的是故事而不是角色,而有线电视依赖的是角色。
In writing literary fiction, you are trying to help yourself. And readers are going to literary fiction not just to be entertained, but because they feel something else will happen; that the experience will take them beyond themselves and show them something they haven't seen before.
在写文学小说时,你是在帮助自己。读者阅读文学小说不仅仅是为了娱乐,而是因为他们觉得会有别的事情发生;这种经历会让他们超越自我,向他们展示一些他们从未见过的东西。
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。
I am in the process of trying to decide whether I can make a substantive and productive contribution to the policy-making process. I was always there because I wanted to work on the pressing issues of the day - I'm interested in energy, I'm interested in the climate bill and technology policy.
我正在努力决定我是否能对决策过程作出实质性和富有成效的贡献。我一直都在那里,因为我想处理当下紧迫的问题——我对能源感兴趣,我对气候法案和技术政策感兴趣。
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。
If your friend's feeling bad, it's hard to know what to do. Do you back away or try to help them? It's a really hard situation that I've been in. You want to support your friend. You want to be there. My advice is, don't get too involved with it, just be by their side. If they need your help, they'll ask for it.
如果你的朋友心情不好,你很难知道该怎么办。你是退缩还是试图帮助他们?我的处境真的很艰难。你想支持你的朋友。你想去那里。我的建议是,不要太投入,只要在他们身边。如果他们需要你的帮助,他们会主动要求的。
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。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
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.
你是否失败了并不重要,你是否被打败了。真正重要的是你能否站起来再试一次。因为赢球很有趣,但没人想到你会赢球的时候赢球真的很棒。
All of us gave it all we've got, overcame a whole lot just being on the show and learned a lot about ourselves. We're just normal people trying to do what we love and follow our dreams.
我们所有人都付出了我们所拥有的一切,克服了在节目中出现的所有困难,也学到了很多关于我们自己的东西。我们只是普通人,努力做我们喜欢做的事,追随我们的梦想。
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。
Don't give up when you still have something to give because nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
当你还有东西可以给予的时候不要放弃,因为在你停止尝试的那一刻之前,没有什么是真正结束的。
Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.
勇气是发现自己可能不会成功,当你知道自己可能会失败时,仍然去尝试。
