A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

世界

World

We are the most powerful nation in the world, but we're not the only nation in the world. We are not the only people in the world. We are an important people, the wealthiest, the most powerful and, to a great extent, generous. But we are part of the world.

我们是世界上最强大的国家,但我们不是世界上唯一的国家。我们不是世界上唯一的民族。我们是一个重要的民族,最富有、最强大,而且在很大程度上慷慨大方。但我们是世界的一部分。

To unfold the secret laws and relations of those high faculties of thought by which all beyond the merely perceptive knowledge of the world and of ourselves is attained or matured, is a object which does not stand in need of commendation to a rational mind.

揭示那些高级思维能力的秘密规律和关系,通过这些思维能力,我们对世界和我们自己的一切超越了仅仅是感性的知识的获得或成熟,是一个不需要理性头脑加以赞扬的目标。

I was trying to spend it as quickly as possible. Because I'm so lazy, all that money created a block. I was flying around the world, staying at fancy hotels, having fun and trying to get rid of it as quickly as possible, so I could get on with some more work.

我想尽快把钱花完。因为我太懒了,所有的钱造成了一个障碍。我在环游世界,住在豪华酒店里,玩得很开心,并试图尽快摆脱它,这样我就可以继续做更多的工作。

My own judgment of how the world is gonna end is that there will be a country led by a madman that will build a nuclear bomb with so much force, so much power, that it will be dropped somewhere on the face of this earth and that the earth will lose its place.

我自己的世界是如何结束的判断是,将会有一个国家由一个疯子会制造核弹如此多的力量,如此多的力量,它将下降在面对这个地球,地球将会失去它的位置。

Most fathers don't see the war within the daughter, her struggles with conflicting images of the idealized and flawed father, her temptation both to retreat to Daddy's lap and protection and to push out of his embrace to that of beau and the world beyond home.

大多数父亲都看不到女儿内心的斗争,看不到她与理想化的、有缺陷的父亲形象之间的冲突,看不到她既想退到父亲的怀抱中寻求保护,又想从父亲的怀抱中挣脱出来,拥抱博,拥抱外面的世界。

These deserters were our undoing. I shall have a good deal more to say about them before I finally lay down my pen, and I shall not hesitate to call them by their true name, the name with which they will be for ever branded before all the nations of the world.

这些逃兵是我们的祸根。在我最后放下笔之前,我还有许多话要对他们说,我要毫不犹豫地直呼他们的真名,这个名字将永远铭刻在世界各国的面前。

That in the beginning when the world was young there were a great many thoughts but no such thing as truth. Man made the truths himself and each truth was a composite of a great many vague thoughts. All about in the world were truths and they were all beautiful.

在世界还年轻的时候,有许多思想,但是没有真理这样的东西。人类自己创造了真理,而每一个真理都是由许多模糊的思想组成的。世界上所有的一切都是真理,它们都是美丽的。

Man's striving for order, of which art is but one manifestation, derives from a similar universal tendency throughout the organic world; it is also paralleled by, and perhaps derived from, the striving towards the state of simplest structure in physical systems.

人类对秩序的追求,艺术只是秩序的一种表现形式,这种追求源于整个有机世界的一种类似的普遍倾向;与之并行的,或许还源自于对物理系统中最简单结构状态的追求。

When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.

当你手里拿着一朵花,认真地看着它的时候,那一刻就是你的世界。我想把那个世界给别人。城市里的大多数人都很匆忙,所以他们没有时间看花。不管他们愿不愿意,我都想让他们看看。

But if you cover the World Series on the news or do a feature on an Ali boxing match then all of a sudden ears go up all over the place and people say what the hell are you doing. The reason for that is that we're doing something that people are really interested in.

但是,如果你在新闻上报道世界职业棒球大赛,或者在阿里拳击赛上做专题报道,你的耳朵就会突然竖起来,人们就会说,你到底在做什么。原因是我们正在做一些人们真正感兴趣的事情。
