A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
浪费
Waste
Now that I work as a professional model, I advise people to stay away from any television shows. It's a waste of your time; it's just entertainment. It's not the fashion that we now know.
现在我是一名职业模特,我建议人们远离任何电视节目。这是浪费你的时间;这只是娱乐。这不是我们现在所知道的时尚。
At a time when we're having to take such difficult decisions about how to cut back without damaging the things that matter the most, we should strain every sinew to cut error, waste and fraud.
在我们不得不做出艰难决定的时候,如何在不损害最重要的东西的情况下削减开支,我们应该竭尽全力减少错误、浪费和欺诈。
A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.
在人的一生中,宽阔的休闲空间就像在一本书中一样美丽。匆忙造成浪费,在生活中同样如此。把握时间,观察宇宙的时间,而不是汽车的时间。
Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.

Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation.
书不过是废纸,除非我们把睡着时获得的智慧付诸行动。当我们对生者感到厌倦时,我们可以向死者寻求安慰,因为他们在谈话中没有丝毫的乖戾、骄傲和故意。
