A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
理解
Understanding
I was myself brought up with my brother, whose name was Matthias, for he was my own brother, by both father and mother; and I made mighty proficiency in the improvements of my learning, and appeared to have both a great memory and understanding.
我和我的兄弟马提亚一同长大,因为他是我的亲生兄弟,由父母抚养。我在学习上进步很快,记忆力和理解力都很好。
A person of definite character and purpose who comprehends our way of thought is sure to exert power over us. He cannot altogether be resisted; because, if he understands us, he can make us understand him, through the word, the look, or other symbol.
一个有明确性格和目标的人,他理解我们的思维方式,一定会对我们施加力量。不能完全抗拒他;因为,如果他了解我们,他可以让我们了解他,通过文字、表情或其他符号。
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.Most people do not listen with the intent to understand: they listen with the intent to reply. They’re filtering everything through their own paradigms, reading their autobiography into other people’s lives.
先寻求理解,再寻求被理解。大多数人倾听的目的不是为了理解,而是为了回应。他们通过自己的范例来过滤一切,把自己的自传读给别人听。
When gasoline and rubber are rationed, electric power and transport facilities are becoming increasingly scarce, and manpower shortages are developing, it is difficult for people to understand their increased use for other than the most vital needs of war.
当汽油和橡胶实行配给,电力和运输设施日益稀少,人力短缺日益严重时,人们很难理解,除了战争最重要的需要之外,汽油和橡胶越来越多地用于其他用途。
The shortage of buyers, which the world is suffering from, is readily understood, not as due to people not wishing to obtain possession of goods, but as people being unwilling to part with something which might earn a regular income in exchange for those goods.
世界正在遭受买主短缺之苦,这是很容易理解的,这不是因为人们不希望拥有货物,而是因为人们不愿意放弃可以赚取固定收入的东西来换取这些货物。
Living gives you a better understanding of life. I would hope that my characters have become deeper and more rounded personalities. Wider travels have given me considerably greater insight into how cultural differences affect not only people, but politics and art.
生活能让你更好地理解生活。我希望我的角色能变得更深刻、更全面。更广泛的旅行让我对文化差异如何影响人们、政治和艺术有了更深刻的了解。
We want you to sit down and leave your egos at home and let's get an understanding as to where all this is foolishness coming from. There are others who are putting things out there or throwing a stick and hiding their hand and keeping things built up in the media.
我们想让你坐下来,把你的自尊留在家里,让我们了解这一切都是愚蠢的根源。还有一些人把东西放在外面,或者扔一根棍子,把他们的手藏起来,然后把东西放在媒体上。
There is all the difference in the world between departure from recognised rules by one who has learned to obey them, and neglect of them through want of training or want of skill or want of understanding. Before you can be eccentric you must know where the circle is.
一个已经学会遵守公认规则的人背离这些规则,或者由于缺乏训练、技能或理解而忽视这些规则,这两者之间有着天壤之别。在你变得古怪之前,你必须知道圆在哪里。
We are now at a point in time when the ability to receive, utilize, store, transform and trasmit data -- the lowest cognitive form -- has expanded literally beyond comprehension. Understanding and wisdom are largely forgotten as we struggle under an avalanche of data and information.
我们现在所处的时代,接收、利用、存储、转换和转换数据的能力——最低的认知形式——已经超出了我们的理解范围。当我们在海量的数据和信息下挣扎时,理解和智慧在很大程度上被遗忘了。
A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.
我们这个行业的很多人都没有非常丰富的经验。所以他们没有足够的点来连接,他们最终得到非常线性的解决方案而没有对问题有一个广阔的视角。一个人对人类体验的理解越广,我们的设计就会越好。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding.
这个世界上的邪恶几乎总是来自无知,如果他们缺乏理解,善意和恶意可能造成同样多的伤害。
Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.
沟通导致社区,即理解、亲密和相互评价。
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。
Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to a better understanding of ourselves.
任何让我们对他人感到不快的事情都能让我们更好地了解自己。
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。
