A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
世界
World
There are many, many types of books in the world, which makes good sense, because there are many, many types of people, and everybody wants to read something different.
世界上有很多很多类型的书,这很有道理,因为有很多很多类型的人,每个人都想读一些不同的东西。
I obviously prefer writing novels but I take my journalism very seriously, and I enjoy doing it between novels. It gives me an opportunity to move in the outside world.
很明显,我更喜欢写小说,但我非常严肃地对待我的新闻工作,我喜欢在小说之间写作。这让我有机会到外面的世界去走走。
We converse as we live by repeating, by combining and recombining a few elements over and over again just as nature does when of elementary particles it builds a world.
我们在生活中通过重复,通过一次又一次地组合和重组一些元素来进行交流,就像大自然在用基本粒子构建一个世界时所做的那样。
I am the happiest creature in the world. Perhaps other people have said so before, but not one with such justice. I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh.
我是世界上最幸福的人。也许别人以前也这么说过,但没有一个人是这样公正的。我甚至比吉英还幸福;她只笑,我笑。
Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the blot? I know no speck so troublesome as self.
我们所看见的,不是极近处的一个小斑点,能涂抹世界的荣耀,只留下我们看见那斑点的余地吗?我不知道有什么比自我更麻烦的了。
At fifteen one is first beginning to realize that everything isn't money and power in this world, and is casting about for joys that do not turn to dross in one's hands.
十五岁时,一个人开始意识到这个世界上的一切都不是金钱和权力,他在寻找那些不会在他手中变成渣滓的快乐。
However, there's three reasons for doing things in this particular world. One is love, one is prestige and the other's money. If you get all three together, that's fine.
然而,在这个特殊的世界里做事有三个原因。一个是爱情,一个是声望,另一个是金钱。如果你把这三个都放在一起,那就好。
Of course, the world is full of problems. But on the other hand it's important to get the sense... are we generally moving in the right direction or the wrong direction?
当然,这个世界充满了问题。但另一方面,重要的是要明白……我们是在朝着正确的方向前进,还是在朝着错误的方向前进?
I'm never getting too lonely because it's the kind of disease where you might sit in front of the TV with three bags of biscuits, rather than communicate with the world.
我从来不会感到太孤独,因为这是一种疾病,你可能会坐在电视机前,拿着三袋饼干,而不是与世界交流。
It is not materialism that is the chief curse of the world, as pastors teach, but idealism. Men get into trouble by taking their visions and hallucinations too seriously.
正如牧师们所教导的,这个世界的主要祸根不是物质主义,而是理想主义。男人把自己的幻想和幻觉看得太认真就会惹上麻烦。
But I think traveling around and going around the world and making arrangements for moving around is the most difficult thing, 'cuz you don't know what's going to happen.
但我认为环游世界和为搬家做安排是最困难的事情,因为你不知道会发生什么。
We now live in a world where the only thing to have is success, but failure is marvelous. It's fertiliser, it's like living fertiliser, because you're forced on yourself.
我们现在生活在一个只有成功的世界,但失败是不可思议的。这是肥料,就像活肥料,因为你是被迫的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Make up your mind to act decidedly and take the consequences. No good is ever done in this world by hesitation.
下定决心,果断行动,承担后果。在这个世界上犹豫不决是做不到任何好事的。
Honestly, a lot of people thought that I was on top of the world selling so many millions of records, and that this is the life that everybody would want, but I never got to enjoy any of my success.

The world is full of beauty, as other worlds above, And if we did our duty, it might be as full of love.
这个世界充满了美,就像上面的其他世界一样,如果我们尽到自己的责任,它也会充满爱。
As we become purer channels for God's light, we develop an appetite for the sweetness that is possible in this world. A miracle worker is not geared toward fighting the world that is, but toward creating the world that could be.
当我们成为上帝之光更纯净的管道时,我们就会对这个世界上可能存在的甜蜜产生食欲。一个创造奇迹的人不是为了与现实世界作斗争,而是为了创造一个可能存在的世界。
The world is full of a lot of fear and a lot of negativity, and a lot of judgment. I just think people need to start shifting into joy and happiness. As corny as it sounds, we need to make a shift.
这个世界充满了很多恐惧,很多消极的东西,还有很多的判断。我只是认为人们需要开始转向快乐和幸福。虽然听起来很老套,但我们需要做出改变。
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
世界上大多数重要的事情都是由那些在似乎没有任何希望的时候继续努力的人完成的。
