A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
错误
Wrong
I was wrong to exaggerate in statements related to my experiences in the White House and the Royal Family. I am truly sorry for misleading people and misstating the facts.
在有关我在白宫和王室的经历的声明中,我夸大了事实,这是错误的。我对误导和歪曲事实表示诚挚的歉意。
A lot of my characters in all of my books have a self-destructive urge. They'll do precisely the thing that they know is wrong, take a perverse delight in doing the wrong thing.
在我所有的书中,我的很多角色都有自我毁灭的冲动。他们会准确地做他们知道是错的事情,在做错的事情中获得反常的快乐。
Don't get me wrong - I've gone to a club. But I'd much rather be with my close friends at home or a concert, or on a trip. I'll go dancing with my grandma. She likes to cut a rug!
别误会我的意思——我去俱乐部了。但是我更愿意和我的好朋友呆在家里,或者去听音乐会,或者去旅行。我要和我奶奶去跳舞。她喜欢剪地毯!
No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?
没有;我们像往常一样问错了问题。烟囱上的知更鸟在唱什么并不重要。真正而恰当的问题是:为什么它是美丽的?
He was making all kinds of sounds apparently with his mouth, and shaking his head and I thought, gosh, is he trying to stop the orchestra? Is it all wrong? It was just unbelievable.

Probably the closest things to perfection are the huge absolutely empty holes that astronomers have recently discovered in space. If there's nothing there, how can anything go wrong?

Low-income taxpayers deserve the same rights as everyone else. It was wrong of the IRS to target low-income taxpayers, and I am please by the decision to correct this unfair practice.

An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious - just dead wrong.
一个受过教育的人是这样的人:他知道,事实往往是,信息至多是不完整的,而且往往是错误的、误导人的、虚构的、虚假的——完全是错误的。
If you look at the footballers, you look at our celebrity culture, we seem to be saying, 'This is the way you want to be'. We seem to be a society that celebrates all the wrong people.
如果你看看足球运动员,看看我们的名人文化,我们似乎在说,‘这就是你想成为的样子’。我们似乎是一个为所有错误的人庆祝的社会。
I criticize a lot of players and coaches. But I back it up with facts. A lot of times guys get mad at me because someone told them what I said. I say, 'You're wrong: Go check the tape.'
我批评了很多球员和教练。但我用事实证明了这一点。很多时候,男人对我发火是因为有人把我说的话告诉了他们。我说,‘你错了,去看看带子。’
It is always right to detect a fraud, and to perceive a folly; but it is very often wrong to expose either. A man of business should always have his eyes open, but must often seem to have them shut.
发现欺诈和察觉愚蠢总是正确的;但是,揭露这两种情况往往都是错误的。做生意的人应该时刻睁大眼睛,但又必须常常闭上眼睛。
Most good roles are written for young men. We are fixated on youth. So however much people say there is nothing wrong with being bald, the reality is once the hair is gone, you might not get the parts.
大多数好的角色都是为年轻人写的。我们专注于青春。所以不管人们怎么说秃顶没什么错,事实是,一旦头发掉了,你可能就得不到这些部位了。
