A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
世界
World
When we ask for love, we don't ask others to be fair to us-but rather to care for us, to be considerate of us. There is a world of difference here between demanding justice... and begging or pleading for love.
当我们要求爱的时候,我们不要求别人对我们公平,而是关心我们,体谅我们。在这里,要求公正与要求公正之间有着天壤之别。乞求或恳求爱。
I want a world without war, a world without insanity. I want to see people do well. I don't even think it's as much as what I want for myself. It's more what I want for the people around me. That's what I want.
我想要一个没有战争的世界,一个没有疯狂的世界。我想看到人们做得很好。我甚至不认为这是我自己想要的。更多的是我想为我周围的人做的。这就是我想要的。
People may flatter themselves just as much by thinking that their faults are always present to other people's minds, as if they believe that the world is always contemplating their individual charms and virtues.
人们认为自己的缺点总是存在于他人的脑海中,就好像他们相信这个世界总是在审视他们个人的魅力和美德一样,他们也可能因此而沾沾自喜。
The only people available to change the world are the people now living in it, with all the beliefs they bring along - however retrograde those beliefs may appear to those of us who see ourselves as enlightened.
唯一可以改变世界的人是现在生活在这个世界上的人,他们带着所有的信念——不管这些信念在我们这些自认为是开明的人看来多么倒退。
I look on all the world as my parish; thus far I mean, that, in whatever part of it I am, I judge it meet, right, and my bounden duty, to declare unto all that are willing to hear, the glad tidings of salvation.
我把全世界看作我的教区;到此为止,我的意思是,无论我身在何处,我都要判断,向一切愿意听的人宣告得救的喜讯,是合宜的,也是我义不容辞的责任。
I don't know if I would qualify as mainstream. I think I have managed to function pretty successfully on the fringes of the music world and have been able to play exactly what I have wanted the way I have wanted.
我不知道我是否有资格成为主流。我想我已经成功地在音乐世界的边缘发挥了作用,并且能够以我想要的方式演奏我想要的东西。
Actually I think Art lies in both directions - the broad strokes, big picture but on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane. Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand, that kind of thing.
事实上,我认为艺术存在于两个方向——广阔的笔触,宏大的画面,但另一方面,对表面上平淡无奇的事物进行细致的审视。从一粒沙子看到整个世界,就是这样。
I like every single actor or actress in the world, because we never know what the conditions are like when they are working. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and root for them like a psychotic sports fan.
我喜欢世界上的每一个男演员或女演员,因为我们永远不知道他们工作时的条件是什么样的。我相信每个人都是无辜的,就像一个疯狂的体育迷一样支持他们。
You know, one of the things I like about this world, or at least I like about the way we're presenting this world, is these issues are terribly complicated - not nearly as black and white as we're led to believe.
你知道,我喜欢这个世界的一点,或者至少我喜欢我们呈现这个世界的方式,就是这些问题非常复杂——远没有我们想象的那么黑白分明。
Now suddenly there was nothing but a world of cloud, and we three were there alone in the middle of a great white plain with snowy hills and mountains staring at us; and it was very still; but there were whispers.
突然间,天空中只剩下一片云彩,我们三个人孤零零地站在一片白茫茫的平原中间,群山和雪山都在向我们望着。四周一片寂静;但还是有人窃窃私语。
The world is never quiet, even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes, in vibrations which escape our ears. As for those that we perceive, they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord, never a melody.
世界从来不是安静的,即使它的寂静永远回荡着同样的音符,在振动中逃离我们的耳朵。至于我们所感知到的,它们向我们传递的是声音,偶尔是和弦,而不是旋律。
The struggle for existence holds as much in the intellectual as in the physical world. A theory is a species of thinking, and its right to exist is coextensive with its power of resisting extinction by its rivals.
生存的斗争不仅存在于物质世界,也存在于精神世界。理论是一种思维,它的生存权与它抵抗竞争对手灭绝的能力是相辅相成的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The fashion of the world is to avoid cost, and you encounter it.
世界的时尚是避免成本,而你却遇到了它。
The knowledge of the world is only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
对世界的知识只能在世界上获得,而不能藏在柜子里。
The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in our world than the stock market or the debates in congress.
艺术比股市或国会辩论更能反映我们这个世界正在发生的事情。
O God, O God, how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!
啊,上帝啊,上帝啊,在我看来,这个世界的一切用处是多么令人厌倦、陈腐、枯燥、毫无益处啊!
For me, a hearty "belly laugh" is one of the beautiful sounds in the world.
对我来说,开怀大笑是世界上最美妙的声音之一。
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
在这个日夜竭尽全力把你变成别人的世界上,除了你自己,谁也不是,这意味着要打一场任何人都能打的最艰苦的战斗;永远不要停止战斗。
