A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
价值
Worth
One of the great responsibilities we have as a society is to educate ourselves, along with the next generation, about which substances are worth ingesting, and for what purpose, and which are not.
作为一个社会,我们最大的责任之一就是教育我们自己和下一代,哪些物质值得摄入,为了什么目的,哪些不值得。
I've met actors where you think, if only you could just clean up your act and get it together, people would want to work with you. Some people are so difficult, it's just not worth working with them.
我遇到过一些演员,他们认为,如果你能把自己的表演整理好,让大家都愿意和你一起工作,那就好了。有些人很难相处,不值得和他们一起工作。
Without self-confidence we are as babes in the cradle. And how can we generate this imponderable quality, which is yet so invaluable, most quickly? By thinking that other people are inferior to oneself.
没有自信,我们就像摇篮里的婴儿。我们如何才能以最快的速度产生这种不可估量的、但又是无价的品质呢?认为别人不如自己。
When a thing is said to be not worth refuting you may be sure that either it is flagrantly stupid - in which case all comment is superfluous - or it is something formidable, the very crux of the problem.
当一件事被说成不值得反驳时,你可以肯定它要么是极其愚蠢的(在这种情况下,所有的评论都是多余的),要么就是某种可怕的东西,问题的关键所在。
Relationships, if you want them to work, take work. The biggest thing that I learned growing up, and even now, is if it's right, it's worth it. It's just a matter of finding that person you want to be with.
人际关系,如果你想让它们发挥作用,就去努力吧。我从小到大学到的最重要的一件事,即使是现在,如果是对的,也是值得的。只是找到你想要的那个人。
Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible -- the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.
只有在尊重个体差异、容忍错误、沟通开放、规则灵活的氛围中,价值感才会蓬勃发展——这种氛围可以在一个养育子女的家庭中找到。
Courses on historical methodology are not worth the time that they take up. I shall never give one myself, and I have observed that many of my colleagues who do give such courses refrain from exemplifying their methods by writing anything.
历史方法论的课程不值得花那么多时间。我自己永远也不会给出一个,而且我已经注意到,我的许多教授这类课程的同事都避免用写作来举例说明他们的方法。
I wrote and produced millions and millions of selling records, so my publishing company alone was worth millions of dollars. I didn't have to work anymore in life because when the rappers started sampling... I'm the most sampled artist in history.
我创作和制作了数以百万计的畅销唱片,因此仅我的出版公司就价值数百万美元。我在生活中不用再工作了,因为当说唱歌手开始取样时……我是历史上采样最多的艺术家。
You have to demand things and believe you're worth more. And once you do demand them, you're usually going to get them. The players who first came in were very humble because we came from obscurity. Today's players, on the other hand, have a sense of entitlement.
你必须有所要求,并相信自己更有价值。一旦你提出要求,你通常都会得到。首先上场的球员都非常谦虚,因为我们来自默默无闻。另一方面,今天的球员有一种特权感。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
What one hides is worth neither more nor less than what one finds. And what one hides from oneself is worth neither more nor less than what one allows others to find.
一个人隐藏的东西并不比他发现的东西更有价值。一个人对自己隐藏的东西并不比他允许别人发现的东西更有价值。
Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything, for 'Tis the only thing in this world that lasts, 'Tis the only thing worth working for, worth fighting for - worth dying for.
土地是世界上唯一有价值的东西,因为它是世界上唯一永恒的东西,是唯一值得你去为之工作,为之战斗,为之牺牲的东西。
I work very hard and I'm worth every cent.
我工作很努力,我的每一分钱都是值得的。
There's not a note of mine that's worth the noting.
我的笔记没有一个是值得注意的。
If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.
如果你死后不会被遗忘,要么写一些值得读的东西,要么做一些值得写的事情。
