A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

What I've found is that there is a tremendous interest in these issues, across the political spectrum, sort of left-right terms we used to describe people don't really hold here exactly.
我发现人们对这些问题有着极大的兴趣，跨越政治领域，我们用来描述人们的左右两派的术语在这里并不完全适用。
The question is how to bring a work of imagination out of one language that was just as taken-for-granted by the persons who used it as our language is by ourselves. Nothing strange about it.
问题是如何把想象力的作品从一种语言中带出来，这种语言被使用它的人视为理所当然，就像我们自己的语言一样。这没什么奇怪的。
We're not that much smarter than we used to be, even though we have much more information - and that means the real skill now is learning how to pick out the useful information from all this noise.
尽管我们有了更多的信息，但我们并没有比过去聪明多少，这意味着现在真正的技能是学习如何从这些噪音中挑选出有用的信息。
But in the old days, visual artists used to fall into two distinct categories: those of us who created images with cameras and those of us who applied stuff onto other stuff, with brushes or other tools.
但在过去，视觉艺术家通常分为两类:一类是用相机创作图像的人，另一类是用画笔或其他工具把东西涂到其他东西上的人。
If you get it out into the urban field it's going to be used or misused but it'll also probably provide a way of people acknowledging what the aesthetic is about because people have to confront it every day.
如果你把它带到城市领域，它会被使用或误用，但它也可能提供一种方式，让人们认识到美学是什么，因为人们每天都要面对它。
You know I used to sit there and I'd go outside and play ball and everything, but now in my free time I just kind of lay back and relax because this atmosphere is so busy and stressful, so anytime I can sleep, you'd best believe I'm sleepin'.
你知道，我过去常常坐在那里，到外面去打球什么的，但是现在，在我的空闲时间，我只是躺下来放松一下，因为这里的气氛很忙，压力很大，所以只要我能睡着，你最好相信我在睡觉。
I've given up email. Well, almost. At the weekend I set up one of those auto-reply messages, informing my correspondents that I would no longer be checking my emails, and that instead they might like to call or write, as we used to in the olden days.
我已经放弃电子邮件了。嗯,差不多。周末，我设置了一条自动回复信息，通知我的通讯员，我将不再查看我的电子邮件，他们可能会打电话或写信，就像我们过去习惯的那样。
The first legislation that I produced relating to the Internet was a bill to overturn a restriction inside of the law that prohibited the Internet backbone from being used for anything other than research and scientific and educational communication.
我提出的第一个有关互联网的立法是推翻法律内部的一项限制，该限制禁止互联网主干用于研究、科学和教育交流以外的任何事情。
I used to get a sort of sociophobia, and I still get it sometimes these days when I'm in a confined space with too many people. It's not like I freak out or anything, it's just that I'm far more comfortable in my own company sometimes than being surrounded by one thousand strangers.
我曾经有过一种社会恐惧症，现在当我和太多的人呆在一个狭小的空间里时，我仍然会有这种恐惧症。这并不是说我害怕或其他什么，只是有时候我在自己的公司里比被一千个陌生人包围要舒服得多。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
