A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
世界
World
I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs. They all find their place in the world, but they all start off in the same place. I'm always painting and drawing as well, and it's an ongoing creative assignment.
我主要研究文字,主要是诗歌或短篇小说,然后其中一些变成了歌曲。它们都在这个世界上找到了自己的位置,但它们都是从同一个地方开始的。我也一直在画画,这是一个持续不断的创作任务。
It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other, in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.
你没有必要离开这所房子。坐在你的桌子旁听。不要听,只要等待。甚至不要等待,完全安静和孤独。世界将向你展示它的真面目,它别无它法,它将狂喜地在你脚下扭动。
One should see the world, and see himself as a scale with an equal balance of good and evil. When he does one good deed the scale is tipped to the good - he and the world is saved. When he does one evil deed the scale is tipped to the bad - he and the world is destroyed.
一个人应该看这个世界,把自己看成是一个善恶平衡的天平。当他做了一件好事,天平就会向好的方向倾斜——他和世界都得救了。当他做了一件坏事时,天平就倾斜到坏的一边——他和世界都毁灭了。
And therefore we must seek dialogue in this networked world. We must ask which voice was actually attempting to make itself heard and saw no other possibility of gaining a hearing. To that extent, for a while this also represented a forced opening of a cosmopolitan view.
因此,我们必须在这个网络化的世界中寻求对话。我们必须问一下,究竟是哪一个声音在试图使自己的声音被听到,并且认为没有其他的可能使自己的声音被听到。从这个意义上说,在一段时间内,这也代表着一种被迫开放的世界主义观点。
That every man after the life in the world lives to eternity, is evident from this, that man is then spiritual, and no longer natural, and that the spiritual man, separated from the natural, remains such as he is to eternity, for man's state cannot be changed after death.
由此可见,人在死后是属灵的,不再是属血气的,属血气的人与属血气的人是分开的,仍是属血气的人,与属血气的人是一样的。因为人死后,状态是不能改变的。
People are beginning to understand there is nothing in the world so remote that it can't impact you as a person. It's not just diseases. Economists are now beginning to say if we are going to have good markets in Africa, we're going to have to have healthy people in Africa.
人们开始明白,世界上没有什么东西是如此遥远,以至于它不能影响你作为一个人。不仅仅是疾病。经济学家现在开始说,如果我们要在非洲拥有良好的市场,我们就必须在非洲拥有健康的人口。
Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.
简单起见,耐心,同情心。 这三个是你最宝贵的财富。 简单的行动和思想,你会回到存在的源头。 对朋友和敌人都有耐心, 你同意事情的发展。 同情自己, 你调和了世界上所有的生命。
We're all products of what we want to project to the world. Even people who don't spend any time, or think they don't, on preparing themselves for the world out there - I think that ultimately they have for their whole lives groomed themselves to be a certain way, to present a face to the world.
我们都是我们想向世界展示的产品。即使是那些没有花时间,或者认为自己没有花时间,为外面的世界做准备的人,我认为他们终其一生都在把自己打扮成某种样子,向世界展示自己。
World, world, I cannot get thee close enough! Long have I known a glory in it all, But never knew like this; Here such a pattern is As stretcheth me apart. Lord, I do fear Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year: My soul is all but out of me---let fall No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call.
世界呀,世界呀,我离你太近了!我早就知道这一切的光荣,但从来没有像现在这样知道;在这里,这样的图案把我拉开了。主啊,我真怕你今年把世界弄得太美了。求你,不要让鸟叫。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
A child too, can never grasp the fact that the same mother who cooks so well, is so concerned about his cough, and helps so kindly with his homework, in some circumstance has no more feeling than a wall of his hidden inner world.
一个孩子也永远无法理解这样一个事实:同样是这位母亲,她做饭做得那么好,那么关心他的咳嗽,那么慈祥地帮助他做作业,在某些情况下,她对他的感情不过是隐藏在他内心世界的一堵墙。
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 am the ocean, i am the sea, there is a world inside of me.
我是海,我是海,我的内心有一个世界。
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。
Give me a lever long enough And a prop strong enough, I can single-handed move the world.
给我一根足够长的杠杆和一根足够坚固的支柱,我就能独自推动世界。
Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.
建立一个更好的捕鼠器,世界将会为你打开一条通往你家门口的路。
