A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
理解
Understand
I would have thought it possible to choose delegates for these larger conferences who, even if they could not speak the principal languages, could at least understand them or could have friends seated beside them who could keep them informed on essential points.
我原以为，可以为这些较大的会议挑选代表，即使他们不会说主要语言，至少也能理解他们的意思，或者有朋友坐在他们旁边，随时向他们通报重要的问题。
I just don't understand how you can not be concerned about your appearance. From time to time I'm vilified as the person who cares about the look of a teapot - and it's not that I believe my taste is superior , I just can not believe that other people don't care.
我只是不明白你怎么能不关心自己的外表。我时常被诋毁为一个在乎茶壶外观的人——并不是说我认为自己的品位比别人高，我只是不相信其他人不在乎茶壶的外观。
I don't waste any time at all. I have no time at all for people who are being very negative or people who are very whiny or people who feel sorry for themselves. I tend to go to them and just say, you don't understand how incredible life is and how precious it is.
我一点也不浪费时间。我根本没有时间去理会那些非常消极的人，那些牢骚满腹的人，那些自怨自艾的人。我倾向于对他们说，你不知道生命是多么不可思议，多么珍贵。
I have come to understand and appreciate writers much more recently since I started working on a book last fall. Before that, I thought golf writers got up every morning, played a round of golf, had lunch, showed up for our last three holes and then went to dinner.
自从去年秋天我开始写一本书以来，我对作家的了解和欣赏越来越多。在那之前，我以为高尔夫作家每天早上起床，打一轮高尔夫，吃午餐，出现在我们最后三个洞，然后去吃晚饭。
For me, having come to study and understand some of the Bible and finally getting saved made a huge difference in me, because my wife was a big influence on that. I saw in her, when I first met her, a person's soul at peace with everything and everybody around her.
对我来说，学习和理解一些圣经并最终得救对我产生了巨大的影响，因为我的妻子对我的影响很大。我在她身上看到，当我第一次见到她的时候，一个人的灵魂与周围的一切和所有人都保持着平静。
Through the continued accumulation of detailed and reliable knowledge about elementary reactions, we will be in a better position to understand, predict and control many time-dependent macroscopic chemical processes which are important in nature or to human society.
通过不断积累有关基本反应的详细可靠的知识，我们将能够更好地理解、预测和控制许多与时间有关的宏观化学过程，这些过程在自然界或人类社会中是重要的。
But what does interest me is the notion that if you do a lot of work it means there's a potential for other people to understand that a lot of things are possible with a sustained effort and that the broadening of experiences is possible and I think that's all art can be.
但是我什么感兴趣的概念,如果你做了很多工作,这意味着有可能别人明白,很多事情是可能的和持续的努力和经验的扩大是可能的,我认为这是所有艺术都可以。
I want to see far more decisions taken far closer to the patients, the passengers and the pupils. Far more power for locally and regionally elected politicians who understand best the needs of their areas. And far more say too for the dedicated staff at all levels in health and education.
我希望看到更多的决定在离病人、乘客和学生更近的地方做出。更大的权力属于当地和地区选举出来的政治家，他们最了解自己所在地区的需要。在卫生和教育领域的各级专门工作人员也有更多的发言权。
You should never assume contempt for that which it is not very manifest that you have it in your power to possess, nor does a wit ever make a more contemptible figure than when, in attempting satire, he shows that he does not understand that which he would make the subject of his ridicule.
你永远不应该假定对它不是很明显,在你拥有力量,智慧也不做一个更可鄙的图相比,在尝试讽刺,他表明,他不明白,他会让他嘲笑的对象。
The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don't understand the software parts of it. And so you really can't make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple's the only company that has everything under one roof.
大多数个人电脑公司的工程学早就过时了。在消费类电子产品公司，他们不了解其中的软件部分。所以现在你真的不能在其他任何地方生产你在苹果可以生产的产品。苹果是唯一一家把所有东西都放在一个屋檐下的公司。
I am a little older and understand the nature of the business - the older you get the more your skills supposedly diminish, but I think I am getting wiser in how to use my physical skills. That's the frustrating part when you put so much heart and desire into things and feel like you are not wanted.
我年纪大了一点，也明白了这个行业的本质——你越老，你的技能就会减少得越多，但我认为我在如何运用我的身体技能方面变得越来越明智。这是令人沮丧的部分，当你把太多的心和欲望投入到事情中，却感觉自己不被需要。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.
最终，我相信，目前试图用人造计算机来理解大脑的尝试将被认为是巨大的浪费时间。人造计算机可以出色地执行一些与有意识的人相同的外部任务。
I veer away from trying to understand why I act. I just know I need to do it.
我不再试图去理解我为什么要这样做。我只知道我需要这么做。
I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.
我觉得我们比以前聪明多了。每个人都知道抽象艺术可以是艺术，大多数人知道他们可能不喜欢它，即使他们知道它还有另一个目的。
Stand up for what you believe in even if it means standing alone
坚持你的信仰，即使这意味着你要独立
We went to dinner and healed the wounds, at least to a certain degree. But I hope he understands the hurt he did to me. He put the boot into a pal and I don't think you should do that.
我们去吃晚饭，治愈了伤口，至少在一定程度上。但我希望他能理解他对我造成的伤害。他把靴子扔给了一个朋友，我认为你不应该那样做。
There has been so much recent talk of progress in the areas of curriculum innovation and textbook revision that few people outside the field of teaching understand how bad most of our elementary school materials still are.
最近关于课程改革和教科书修订方面取得进展的讨论如此之多，以致于教学领域以外的人很少了解我们大多数小学教材仍然有多差。
