A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
想要
Wanted
I think, you know, it was something that I really wanted. I wanted so much to have a son or daughter. We adopted a son. And it was just the most wonderful thing. I think the only thing that was difficult for both Maury and myself were the sleepless nights.
我想,你知道,这是我真正想要的东西。我非常想要一个儿子或女儿。我们收养了一个儿子。这是最美妙的事情。我想,对莫里和我自己来说,唯一困难的是那些不眠之夜。
All I wanted to do when I was a teenager was get dropped off at a radio station - one of the ones I listened to - and watch how the shows worked. After a point it was about showing up and driving people crazy, driving the van to promotions and sneaking on the air.
当我还是个十几岁的孩子的时候,我唯一想做的就是去电台——我听过的电台之一——看看这些节目是如何运作的。过了一段时间,它是关于出现,让人们疯狂,驾驶面包车去促销和偷偷在空气中。
My mother would never let me in the kitchen. I always wanted to cook, but I was never allowed to. Her view of the world was, 'Cooking is my job, and studying is your job.' I think, in retrospect, she didn't like the chaos. She was very orderly. It had to be her way.
我妈妈从来不让我进厨房。我一直想做饭,但从来没有被允许。她的世界观是,‘烹饪是我的工作,学习是你的工作。我想,现在回想起来,她不喜欢这种混乱。她很有条理。这必须是她的方式。
It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet, I was really into costumes and the arts, and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.
我对自己更感兴趣。当我去看姐姐跳芭蕾的时候,我真的很喜欢服装和艺术,我的家人也支持我和姐姐想做的任何事情。我会说,我对设计的投入最大。
Before acting, I wanted to become a journalist. I also toyed with the idea of being a chef - but that's only when people asked me what I wanted to be. In fact, I always used to say I wanted to be an actor, but I didn't ever believe that I was good enough to be come one.
在演戏之前,我想成为一名记者。我也有过当厨师的想法,但那只是当人们问我想做什么的时候。事实上,我总是说我想成为一名演员,但我从来都不相信我有能力成为一名演员。
Maybe you could call me a little controlling or I like things to be my way, but since I was a little girl, I've known what I wanted. I'm very rootsy, but it really hadn't ever caused me too much strife. I really know when to say when. I'm not too outward but I'm very honest.
也许你可以叫我有点控制欲,或者我喜欢顺其自然,但自从我还是个小女孩的时候,我就知道自己想要什么了。我很固执,但这并没有给我带来太多的冲突。我真的知道什么时候说。我不太外向,但我很诚实。
Then I became aware of the site as the traffic for it became higher. The most recent contact was this girl Lily. She wanted me to shoot her for the site and she actually showed up. There a lot of people who contact me to do a shoot for a website then you never hear from them.
然后我意识到网站的流量越来越大。最近的联系人是莉莉。她想让我把她拍下来,结果她真的来了。有很多人联系我为一个网站拍摄照片,但你从来没有听到他们的消息。
To be able to make up stories has been a great gift to me from my ancestors and from the storytellers who were so numerous at Laguna Pueblo when I was growing up. I learned to read as soon as I could because I wanted stories without having to depend on adults to tell or read stories to me.
能够编故事是我的祖先给我的一份伟大的礼物,也是我成长过程中拉古纳普韦布洛许许多多的说书人给我的礼物。我尽可能快地学会了阅读,因为我想要的是故事,而不是依赖成年人给我讲故事或给我读故事。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.
我一直想成为大人物,但现在我意识到我应该更具体一些。
I don't think there was a particular book that made me want to write. They all did. I always wanted to write.
我不认为有什么特别的书让我想写。他们都做到了。我一直想写作。
I wanted to be a painter, really, when I was growing up as a kid. It was one thing that really took a grip on me.
我想成为一名画家,真的,当我还是个孩子的时候。这是一件真正让我着迷的事情。
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
经验是当你没有得到你想要的东西时所得到的。
I told her I wanted a plastic surgeon to sew me up, and I wanted her to freeze my ovaries, so I could harvest the eggs and have a biological child through a surrogate.
我告诉她我想要一个整形外科医生为我缝合,我想让她冷冻我的卵巢,这样我就可以收获卵子,通过代孕生下一个亲生孩子。
I always wanted to ride a dragon myself, so I decided to do this for a year in my imagination.
我一直想自己骑龙,所以我决定在我的想象中这样做一年。
