A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
我们
Us
One of the most adventurous things left us is to go to bed. For no one can lay a hand on our dreams.
留给我们的最冒险的事情之一就是上床睡觉。因为没有人能阻止我们的梦想。
To make us feel small in the right way is a function of art; men can only make us feel small in the wrong way.
以正确的方式让我们感到渺小是艺术的一种功能;男人只会让我们以错误的方式感到渺小。
Game shows are designed to make us feel better about the random, useless facts that are all we have left of our education.
游戏节目的设计是为了让我们对我们所受的教育中剩下的随机的、无用的事实感觉更好。
All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.
我们所有人都未能实现完美的梦想。因此,我对我们的评价是基于我们出色地完成了不可能完成的任务。
When we started, we knew the show was going to be hit or miss, and we needed to find a core audience to really make us survive. And I think we've been able to do that.
刚开始的时候,我们就知道这部剧会成功或失败,我们需要找到一个核心观众来让我们生存下去。我认为我们已经做到了。
Every day each of us wakes up, reaches into drawers and closets, pulls out a costume for the day and proceeds to dress in a style that can only be called preposterous.
每天我们每个人醒来,把手伸进抽屉和壁橱里,拿出当天要穿的衣服,然后开始穿那种只能被称为荒谬的风格。
A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
一个舒适的晚年是一个度过美好青春的奖赏。它不会给我们带来衰败的凄凉前景,而会给我们带来在更美好的世界里永葆青春的希望。
Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.
我们每个人都有一个内心的梦想,只要我们有勇气承认它是什么,我们就能实现它。相信我们自己的信仰。承认往往是非常困难的。
Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness.
我们既看见领航员驾驶我们所驾驶的航船,即使在沉船的时候,他也不让我们灭亡,我们的心就没有理由被恐惧所压倒,被疲惫所压倒。
When we forgive evil we do not excuse it, we do not tolerate it, we do not smother it. We look the evil full in the face, call it what it is, let its horror shock and stun and enrage us, and only then do we forgive it.
当我们原谅罪恶时,我们不会原谅它,我们不会容忍它,我们不会扼杀它。我们直面邪恶,不管它是什么,让它的恐怖震撼、震撼、激怒我们,只有这样我们才会原谅它。
If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.
如果我们仅仅因为野兽不能阻止我们,因为我们在为生存而斗争中支持自己的一方,那么出于同样的原因而把蠢货、罪犯、敌人或资本家斩了,也就合乎逻辑了。
Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest.
告诉我们要服从本能就像告诉我们要服从人一样。人们会说不同的话,直觉也是如此。我们的本能处于战争状态…每一种本能,如果你听从它,都会声称以牺牲其他本能为代价而得到满足。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Art is the right hand of Nature. The latter has only given us being, the former has made us men.
艺术是大自然的右手。后者只给了我们生命,前者造就了我们人类。
Most of us are just about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
我们中的大多数人,只要我们下定决心,就一定会感到幸福。
A budget tells us what we can't afford, but it doesn't keep us from buying it.
预算告诉我们什么是我们负担不起的,但它不会阻止我们购买它。
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
意识到自己的力量使我们谦虚。
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
当我们诚实地问自己生命中谁对我们最重要时,我们常常发现,是那些人,他们没有给出建议、解决方案或治愈方法,而是选择与我们分享痛苦,用温暖而温柔的手触摸我们的伤口。
Lying can never save us from another lie.
谎言永远不能把我们从另一个谎言中拯救出来。
