A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
写
Written
I had a national and international reputation. I had written the history and articles. So I brought to the Trotskyist movement some international reputation.
我在国内和国际上都享有盛誉。我写过历史和文章。所以我给托洛茨基主义运动带来了一些国际声誉。
I had repeatedly made written requests to the Fuehrer that I might be allowed to join the Wehrmacht as an ordinary soldier. He refused to give me this permission.
我曾多次写信给元首,请求允许我以普通士兵的身份加入国防军。他拒绝给我这个许可。
I have written a few children's books. The first book that I wrote was for children. It was called "The Package", and it was a mystery story in pictures. It had no words.
我写了几本儿童读物。我写的第一本书是给孩子们看的。它被称为“包裹”,它是一个神秘的故事在图片上。它没有说话。
Since the age of four, I've been exploring what I can do with the written word: everything from championing literacy and youth voice to raising awareness about world hunger.
从四岁起,我就一直在探索我能用文字做些什么:从倡导识字和青年发声,到提高人们对世界饥饿的认识。
I'm sure you're aware, with the time it takes to put these books together, everything can suddenly start coming out at once even though I wrote anything between one and five years ago.
我相信你们都知道,随着把这些书放在一起所花的时间,所有的东西都可能突然开始同时出现,即使我在一到五年前写过任何东西。
I've never written about my husband, Steve, or any of my children because I know them all too well. I see them in all their complexities which makes them impossible to render on the printed page.
我从来没有写过我的丈夫,史蒂夫,或者我的任何一个孩子,因为我太了解他们了。我看到了它们所有的复杂性,这使得它们不可能呈现在印刷页面上。
To have everything written for you... It's not really creating. That's why I think symphony drummers are so limited. They 're limited to exactly what was played a hundred years before them by a thousand other drummers.
为你写好一切…它不是真正的创造。这就是为什么我认为交响乐鼓手是如此有限。他们受限于在他们之前一百年由一千名鼓手所演奏的乐曲。
I still have a feeling that I haven't written the best that I can write. I think all poets must feel this: that there is constantly something new to be discovered in the language. It's like a thrilling encounter, and you can find things.
我仍然有一种感觉,我没有写出我能写出的最好的东西。我想所有的诗人都应该有这样的感受:语言中不断有新的东西被发现。这就像一次激动人心的相遇,你可以找到一些东西。
Anytime I audition for something, it's always a question of whether or not the people I'm auditioning for understand I'm an improviser and I like to do that, and if they like that or if they just want someone who's going to do what's written.
每次我试镜的时候,总是有一个问题,我试镜的人是否理解我是一个即兴演员,我喜欢这样做,如果他们喜欢这样,或者他们只是想要一个人按照剧本来做。
Reading asks that you bring your whole life experience and your ability to decode the written word and your creative imagination to the page and be a co-author with the writer, because the story is just squiggles on the page unless you have a reader.
阅读要求你把你的全部生活经历、你对文字的解码能力、你的创造性想象力都写在纸上,成为作者的合著者,因为除非你有读者,否则故事在纸上只是乱七八糟的。
I think the worst and most insidious procrastination for me is research. I will be looking for some bit of fact or figure to include in the novel, and before I know, I've wasted an entire morning delving into that subject matter without a word written.
我认为对我来说,最糟糕和最阴险的拖延是研究。我会在小说中寻找一些事实或数据,在我意识到之前,我已经浪费了整个上午的时间来钻研这个主题,却一个字也没写。
I get bored easily, so I need to do a lot. I've started a record label, so I get to nurture new talent and talk about music, which is a passion of mine. I've written another book. And I get to come to work and do the TV show, which is always really fun.
我很容易感到无聊,所以我需要做很多。我已经成立了一个唱片公司,所以我可以培养新的人才,谈论音乐,这是我的激情。我又写了一本书。我开始工作,做电视节目,这总是很有趣。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I've never written a song that I thought was a hit.
我从来没有写过一首我认为很成功的歌。
I think the measure of your success to a certain extent will be the amount of things written about you that aren't true.
我认为在一定程度上衡量你成功的标准是你写的关于你的很多不真实的东西。
I write sets of books, but I've also written a lot of orphans.
我写过几本书,但也写过很多孤儿。
And sometimes you have to go above the written law, I believe.
我相信,有时你必须超越成文法。
Trust me, I have never written a speech in my life, and if I have my way, I never will.
相信我,我这辈子从来没有写过演讲稿,如果我有自己的方式,我永远也不会写。
