A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
希望
Wish
I was never encouraged to do it and I played the accordion, which I hated. I wish I had taken piano because I definitely would have written more songs of my own, but I didn't.
我从来没有被鼓励这样做,我拉手风琴,我讨厌。我希望我学过钢琴,因为我肯定会写更多自己的歌,但我没有。
I wish I came from a more pure place. I don't have something to say from the bottom of my soul. I just know how to take stuff I like and repackage it in a slightly different way.
我希望我来自一个更纯净的地方。我从心底里没有什么可说的。我只知道如何把我喜欢的东西重新包装成稍微不同的样子。
They very seldom let me lose my cool. They made me like I was Polly Perfect, which was ridiculous so that when I bump into kids on the street they'd say 'I wish my Mom were like you.'
他们很少让我失去冷静。他们让我觉得我是完美的波莉,这太荒谬了,所以当我在街上遇到孩子时,他们会说:“我希望我妈妈像你一样。”
I wish you to inform the Court that my absence, though deliberate, is not intended in any way to be disrespectful. Nor is it prompted by any fear of the punishment which might be inflicted on me.
我希望你通知法院,我的缺席虽然是有意的,但绝不是有意失礼。也不是因为害怕我可能受到的惩罚。
I wish that they could have more freedoms to be able to come and play. I know that the only way that they can get out is by, you know, defecting to another country or whatever, or getting on a boat.
我希望他们能有更多的自由来玩。我知道他们唯一的出路就是,你知道,叛逃到另一个国家或其他什么地方,或上船。
I had about the biggest, longest wish list anyone could have, and 99 percent of what I wanted to get on the screen we got on the screen within our schedule and within our budget and within our resources.
我的愿望清单是任何人都能列出的最大、最长的,我想要在屏幕上展示的东西99%都是在我们的时间表、预算和资源范围内实现的。
There's always something in the game you wish you would have done different. That's why players improve, because they learn from what they did before. They might have been guessing before, but now they know.
游戏中总有一些东西是你希望自己能做得与众不同的。这就是球员进步的原因,因为他们从以前所做的中学到了东西。他们以前可能一直在猜测,但现在他们知道了。
I'm kind of feeling ashamed now that I never get bullied. Everyone keeps asking me, but I don't, and it's kind of annoying. I wish I could say I did get bullied, because then everyone would feel sorry for me.
我现在有点羞愧,因为我从来没有被欺负过。每个人都在问我,但我没有,这有点烦人。我希望我能说我确实被欺负了,因为那样每个人都会为我感到难过。
You can, if you wish, think of it like the universe: Each case is a sun, and all the judges, lawyers and administrative personnel represent planets revolving around the case in fixed orbit, never getting closer.
如果你愿意,你可以把它想象成宇宙:每一个案件都是一个太阳,所有的法官、律师和行政人员都代表着围绕案件旋转的行星,它们在固定的轨道上,永远不会靠近。
I know this is silly, it's shallow, it's bad, I wish I wasn't this way-but if I meet a girl with no teeth, I just don't want to date her. It's creepy of me, I wish I was a bigger person, but that's my real turn-off.
我知道这很傻,很肤浅,很糟糕,我希望我不是这样——但如果我遇到一个没有牙齿的女孩,我只是不想和她约会。我很恐怖,我希望我是个更大的人,但那才是我真正讨厌的。
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.
你想变得伟大吗?然后从存在开始。你想要建造一个巨大而崇高的结构吗?首先想想谦逊的基础。你的结构越高,它的基础就必须越深。
There are some screw-ups headed your way. I wish I could tell you that there was a trick to avoiding the screw-ups... but they're coming for ya. It's a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.
有一些错误正朝你走来。我希望我能告诉你,有一个诀窍可以避免搞砸……但他们来找你了。这是生活变幻莫测和你超级愚蠢的结合。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I wish I could say I see my little brother more. We used to fight all the time but now that I don't see him very often I cherish the time I have with him.
我希望我能多见见我的小弟弟。我们过去经常吵架,但现在我不常见到他了,我很珍惜和他在一起的时间。
If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered.
如果你想当场忘掉什么,记下来这件事要记住。
I wish I'd done everything on earth with you.
我希望我和你一起做了世界上所有的事。
I have to teach myself. I kind of wish I'd continued with my education, but that's something I can do in the future.
我必须自学。我有点希望我能继续我的学业,但那是我将来能做的事情。
Oh, I wish I organized my books. But I don't. I'm not an organized person. The best I can do is put the books I really like in one sort of general area, and poetry in another.
噢,我希望我把书整理好了。但是我不喜欢。我不是一个有条理的人。我能做的最好的事就是把我真正喜欢的书放在一个普通的领域,把诗歌放在另一个领域。
