A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
世界
World
I feel like the people from Iceland have a different relationship with their country than other places. Most Icelandic people are really proud to be from there, and we don't have embarrassments like World War II where we were cruel to other people.
我觉得冰岛人与他们的国家有着不同于其他地方的关系。大多数冰岛人都为自己来自那里而感到自豪，我们没有像二战那样对他人残忍的尴尬。
There's no way to approach anything in an objective way. We're completely subjective; our view of the world is completely controlled by who we are as human beings, as men or women, by our age, our history, our profession, by the state of the world.
没有任何方法可以客观地对待任何事情。我们完全主观的;我们对世界的看法完全取决于我们是谁，男人还是女人，取决于我们的年龄，我们的历史，我们的职业，以及世界的状况。
Everything starts with yourself, with you making up your mind about what you're going to do with your life. I tell kids that it's a cruel world, and that the world will bend them either left or right, and it's up to them to decide which way to bend.
一切都从你自己开始，从你决定你的人生要做什么开始。我告诉孩子们，这是一个残酷的世界，这个世界会让他们向左或向右弯曲，这取决于他们决定向哪个方向弯曲。
They don't know how the world is shaped. And so they give it a shape, and try to make everything fit it. They separate the right from the left, the man from the woman, the plant from the animal, the sun from the moon. They only want to count to two.
他们不知道世界是如何形成的。所以他们给它一个形状，试着让所有的东西都适合它。他们把左右分开，男人和女人分开，植物和动物分开，太阳和月亮分开。他们只想数到二。
In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase.
在这个显然是另一个世界的前厅的世界上，没有幸福的人。人类真正的划分是在那些生活在光明中的人和那些生活在黑暗中的人之间。我们的目标必须是减少和增加后者的数目。
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
艺术家的尊严在于他有责任保持对世界的好奇心。在这漫长的守夜中，他常常不得不改变他的刺激方法;但在这漫长的守夜中，他自己也在与持续不断的睡眠作斗争。
I just assumed the world was full of solo percussionists. I couldn't find sticks or music or anything where I was, but that was expected because there was nothing there anyway. And I think that was possibly the greatest asset for me, just not knowing.
我只是觉得世界上到处都是打击乐独奏者。我找不到棍子、音乐或任何我在的地方，但这是意料之中的，因为那里什么也没有。我想这可能是我最大的财富，只是我不知道。
Everybody now admits that apartheid was wrong, and all I did was tell the people who wanted to know where I come from how we lived in South Africa. I just told the world the truth. And if my truth then becomes political, I can't do anything about that.
现在每个人都承认种族隔离制度是错误的，我所做的就是告诉那些想知道我来自哪里的人我们在南非是如何生活的。我只是告诉世界真相。如果我的真相变成政治，我就无能为力了。
By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.
通过阅读圣经，我是如此的新生，所有的自然似乎在我周围和我更新。天空似乎一片纯净，一片湛蓝，树木一片翠绿。整个世界充满了上帝的荣耀，我感到脚下有火焰和音乐。
Well, the odds must be against anybody being able to fly around the world in a balloon on the first attempt. All of us who are attempting to go around the world in balloons are effectively flying in experimental craft because these craft cannot be tested.
嗯，任何人第一次尝试乘气球环游世界的可能性都不大。我们所有试图乘坐气球环游世界的人都是乘坐实验飞行器，因为这些飞行器无法进行测试。
The momentum of freedom in our world is unmistakable - and it is not carried forward by our power alone. We can trust in that greater power Who guides the unfolding of the years. And in all that is to come, we can know that His purposes are just and true.
在我们的世界里，自由的势头是不容置疑的，它不是由我们的力量独自推进的。我们可以相信那引导着岁月发展的更大的力量。在一切将来的事上，我们可以知道他的旨意是公义真实的。
The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.
世界只给我一次，不存在也不感知。主语和宾语只有一个。由于最近在物理科学方面的经验，不能说它们之间的障碍已经被打破，因为这种障碍并不存在。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Why, then, the world's mine oyster, which I with sword will open.
那么，世界是我的牡蛎，我要用剑把它打开。
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
多么奇妙啊，没有人需要等待片刻才开始改善世界。
Adolescents are not monsters. They are just people trying to learn how to make it among the adults in the world, who are probably not so sure themselves.
青少年不是怪物。他们只是想在这个世界上的成年人中间学习如何成功，而这些人自己可能也不太确定。
Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish.
语言不能很好地表达思想。它们总是在表达出来之后立刻变得有些不同，有些扭曲，有些愚蠢。
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。
