A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
理解
Understanding
Love is more than just a feeling: it's a process requiring continual attention. Loving well takes laughter, loyalty, and wanting more to be able to say, "I understand" than to hear, "You're right."
爱不仅仅是一种感觉:它是一个需要持续关注的过程。良好的爱需要笑声、忠诚，需要更多的是能够说“我理解”，而不是听到“你是对的”。
Sometimes a great wound or concussion of the head, especially which happens by falling headlong from an high place, brings a prejudice and weakness to the animal faculty, dulling the understanding.
有时，头部的巨大创伤或脑震荡，尤其是从高处头朝下摔下来时，会给动物的能力带来偏见和弱点，使其丧失理解力。
We shall see but little way if we require to understand what we see. How few things can a man measure with the tape of his understanding! How many greater things might he be seeing in the meanwhile!
如果我们要求了解我们所看到的东西，我们将看不到什么。一个人能用他的理解力来衡量多少事情啊!在这期间，他会看到多少更伟大的事情啊!
I have trusted to my intuition to find the subjects, and I have written intuitively. I have an idea when I start, I have a shape; but I will fully understand what I have written only after some years.
我相信我的直觉能找到主题，我凭直觉写作。我有一个想法，当我开始，我有一个形状;但只有在几年之后，我才能完全理解我所写的东西。
Well, it gives, certainly to my father, who is the one that suffered the most in our family, and understanding of how the ideals of a country are only as good as the people who give it flesh and blood.
当然，这是给了我的父亲，他是我们家遭受最多苦难的人，他明白一个国家的理想只有在人民的血肉之中才能实现。
Now being in such grace and favor by reason I learned him some points of geometry and understanding of the art of mathematics with other things, I pleased him so that what I said he would not contrary.
现在，由于受到这样的恩宠，我学会了一些几何学的知识，用其他的东西来理解数学的艺术，我使他高兴，所以我说的话他不会反对。
Insight, I believe, refers to the depth of understanding that comes by setting experiences, yours and mine, familiar and exotic, new and old, side by side, learning by letting them speak to one another.
我相信，洞察力是指通过把你和我的经历、熟悉的和陌生的、新和旧的经历并列在一起，通过让它们彼此交谈来学习，从而达到理解的深度。
I thought they may have presumed too much knowledge of certain things for people who are not comedians. Like Montreal. A comic understands what it is and its importance, but someone else may not know about it.
我想他们可能对那些不是喜剧演员的人对某些事情的了解太多了。像蒙特利尔。一个喜剧演员知道它是什么和它的重要性，但是其他人可能不知道。
But I deal with this meditating and by understanding I've been put on the planet to serve humanity. I have to remind myself to live simply and not to overindulge, which is a constant battle in a material world.
但我处理这种冥想，通过理解我被安置在这个星球上是为了服务人类。我必须提醒自己要活得简单，不要过度放纵，这是一个物质世界里不断的战斗。
This was the first day of our beginning to take up plants: we had much pleasure in collecting them for the natives offered their assistance and perfectly understood the method of taking them up and pruning them.
这是我们开始种植植物的第一天:我们很高兴收集它们，因为当地人提供了他们的帮助，并完全了解如何把它们拿起来修剪。
The one thing I seek above all else is understanding. Sometimes I'm so frustrated and I don't get it. But I'm lucky to have a good management team and people around me who explain things and answer my questions.
我最希望的是理解。有时我很沮丧，我不明白。但我很幸运，我有一个很好的管理团队和我周围的人，他们解释事情，回答我的问题。
So I would hope they would develop some kind of habit that involves understanding that their life is so full they can afford to give in all kinds of ways to other people. I consider that to be baseline spirituality.
所以我希望他们能养成一种习惯，让他们明白他们的生活是如此的充实，以至于他们能够以各种方式给予他人。我认为这是灵性的底线。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Love takes no sides but understands them all.
爱不偏袒任何一方，却能理解所有的人。
Love was not in it for me at first. I dated guys because of the way they looked. And then I began to learn that it's what's inside that counts. Love to me now is understanding. It's giving.
一开始我并不爱它。我和男生约会是因为他们的长相。然后我开始意识到内在才是最重要的。现在对我来说，爱就是理解。这是给予。
When I want to understand what is happening today or try to decide what will happen tomorrow, I look back.
当我想知道今天发生了什么，或者想决定明天会发生什么时，我会回头看。
My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.
我的目标很简单。它是对宇宙的一个完整的理解，为什么它是这样的，为什么它存在。
The improvement of understanding is for two ends: first, our own increase of knowledge; secondly, to enable us to deliver that knowledge to others.
提高理解力有两个目的:第一，增加我们自己的知识;第二，使我们能够把这些知识传递给他人。
