A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
墙
Wall
Not houses finely roofed or the stones of walls well builded, nay nor canals and dockyards make the city, but men able to use their opportunity.
不是那些屋顶精美的房屋,不是那些建造精良的石墙,也不是那些运河和造船厂造就了这座城市,而是人们能够利用他们的机会。
You want to know the way to raise money? Put a transaction fee on Wall Street, so maybe we can curb some of the speculation and raise some money.
你想知道如何筹集资金吗?向华尔街收取交易费,这样或许我们可以抑制一些投机行为,筹集一些资金。
I came from nothing. I came from the projects and welfare and ended up a millionaire with no frame of reference. I was bound to hit a wall sooner or later.
我从无到有。我来自项目和福利部门,最后成了一个没有参照系的百万富翁。我迟早会碰壁的。
The four walls of paper are like a prison because every idea wants to spring out in all directions - everything is connected with everything else, sometimes more than others.
这四堵纸墙就像一座监狱,因为每一个想法都想从四面八方冒出来——每件事都与其他的事相联系,有时甚至比其他的都更紧密。
The only good political movement I've seen lately was Occupy Wall Street. They had no leaders, which was genius. But unfortunately it always ends up with some hippy playing a flute.
我最近看到的唯一一个好的政治运动是占领华尔街运动。他们没有领袖,这是天才之处。但不幸的是,最后总是一些嬉皮士吹笛子。
You know, I think many people have the mistaken impression that Congress regulates Wall Street. In truth that's not the case. The real truth is that Wall Street regulates the Congress.
你知道,我想很多人都有一个错误的印象,认为国会监管华尔街。事实上并非如此。真正的事实是,国会是由华尔街监管的。
One learns more from listening than speaking.And both the wind and the people who continue to live close to nature still have much to tell us which we cannot hear within university walls.
一个人从听中学到的比从说中学到的多。风和那些继续贴近大自然生活的人们仍然有很多东西要告诉我们,而这些东西我们在大学的围墙里是听不到的。
Country music busts the wall between performer and audience. There's a connection because there's a vulnerability, a confessional quality, to so much of the songwriting. Those lyrics take you in.
乡村音乐打破了表演者和观众之间的隔阂。这是有联系的,因为这么多的歌曲创作,都有一种脆弱,一种忏悔的特质。那些歌词让你陶醉。
A child too, can never grasp the fact that the same mother who cooks so well, is so concerned about his cough, and helps so kindly with his homework, in some circumstance has no more feeling than a wall of his hidden inner world.
一个孩子也永远无法理解这样一个事实:同样是这位母亲,她做饭做得那么好,那么关心他的咳嗽,那么慈祥地帮助他做作业,在某些情况下,她对他的感情不过是隐藏在他内心世界的一堵墙。
Well, of course, every actor's limited, and I am the first one to admit it, in all honesty, when I think that I've hit the wall a bit. I'm not ashamed at all, I think it's a process that you have to go through. That's how you learn.
当然,每个演员都是有限的,说实话,我是第一个承认这一点的人,当我觉得自己有点碰壁的时候。我一点也不羞愧,我认为这是一个你必须经历的过程。这就是你学习的方式。
I locate a great deal of the power of Occupy Wall Street in the name itself, 'Occupy Wall Street,' or '#OccupyWallStreet.' It works because the name contains everything you need to know: the tactic and the target. The name is also modular. You can create your own offshoot in your own city.
我从“占领华尔街”或“占领华尔街”这个名字本身就能看出“占领华尔街”运动的巨大力量。它之所以奏效,是因为它的名字包含了你需要知道的一切:策略和目标。这个名称也是模块化的。你可以在自己的城市创建自己的分支。

不管你做什么,都不要成为别人的挡箭牌。
