A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
一年
Year
It's been the most astonishing year because I've been having a marvelous adventure, and yet I kind of sympathize with people who have to live in exile, because I've so missed England.
这是最令人惊讶的一年，因为我经历了一次奇妙的冒险，但我也有点同情那些被迫流亡的人，因为我太想念英格兰了。
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.
每一个艺术家的目标都是通过人为的手段来捕捉运动，也就是生命，并把它固定住，这样一百年后，当一个陌生人看到它时，它又动了起来，因为这就是生命。
I looked through our catalog year by year, and I saw that there were pockets of time when we wrote some terrific songs. Then all of a sudden, we'd go for another two or three months and there weren't great songs.
我年复一年地翻看我们的目录，我发现有一段时间我们写了一些很棒的歌曲。然后突然间，我们又去了两三个月，没有什么好听的歌。
It took us three years to build the NeXT computer. If we'd given customers what they said they wanted, we'd have built a computer they'd have been happy with a year after we spoke to them - not something they'd want now.
我们花了三年时间造出了下一代计算机。如果我们能满足客户的需求，我们就能在与他们交谈一年后制造出一台他们满意的电脑——而不是他们现在想要的东西。
Yeah, we shot ourselves in the foot right out of the gate. The guy who ran it at first misled pretty much everybody about how much capital we had. He said we had enough to go three years without making money, and we had enough to go three weeks.
是啊，我们一出校门就搬起石头砸了自己的脚。一开始经营这家公司的人在我们有多少资本的问题上误导了几乎所有人。他说我们有足够的钱过三年不赚钱的日子，也有足够的钱过三个星期。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I was going to go to Macchu Picchu and then I just ended up working the whole year.
我本来打算去马丘比丘，结果却干了整整一年。
In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.
年轻时，白天短，岁月长。年老时，年岁短，白天长。
May is a very early time in the year and the weather is usually bad. You cannot run a fast mile race if there is a strong wind, because it makes your running uneven.
五月是一年中很早的时候，天气通常很糟糕。如果有大风，你就不能跑一英里，因为大风会使你跑得不均匀。
There should be at least one leak like the Pentagon Papers every year.
像五角大楼的文件一样，每年至少应该有一次泄露。
