A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
你自己
Yourself
If it turns out to be a hit, well, good luck dealing with fame. And if it's not a hit and you can still survive and make music you believe in, well, then you're truly blessed. I think that's where we are now.
如果结果很成功,那就祝你在处理名声问题上好运吧。如果这首歌不卖座,你还能活下来,还能创作出你相信的音乐,那你就真的很幸运了。我想这就是我们现在的处境。
When I was in theater I was forever trying to inhabit a space which puts yourself under the microscope as an actor and your personality and your take on life, but actually through another portal of a character.
当我在剧院的时候,我总是试图居住在一个空间里,把你作为一个演员放在显微镜下观察你的个性和你对生活的看法,但实际上是通过另一个角色的入口。
I'll fill those canyons in your soul, like a river lead you home. And I'll walk a step behind, in the shadows so you shine. Just ask, it will be done and I will prove my love, until you're sure that I'm the one.
我要填满你灵魂中的峡谷,就像一条河流带你回家。我会走在你身后一步,在阴影中让你闪耀。只要你开口,一切都会过去的,我会证明我的爱,直到你确定我就是你的真命天子。
Don't write anything you can phone. Don't phone anything you can talk. Don't talk anything you can whisper. Don't whisper anything you can smile. Don't smile anything you can nod. Don't nod anything you can wink.
不要写任何你能打电话的东西。不要给你能说的任何东西打电话。不要说任何你能小声说的话。不要窃窃私语,你可以微笑。不要对任何你能点头的东西微笑。能眨眼的地方不要点头。
When you're working on a creative thing, everyone has an idea, and they're pushing it. The first time you work with anybody, you have to get comfortable with the way another person pushes hard for what they want.
当你在做一件有创意的事情时,每个人都有一个想法,并且他们在推动它。当你第一次和别人共事时,你必须适应另一个人努力争取他们想要的东西的方式。
Faith that it's not always in your hands or things don't always go the way you planned, but you have to have faith that there is a plan for you, and you must follow your heart and believe in yourself no matter what.
相信它并不总是在你的手中,或者事情并不总是按照你的计划进行,但是你必须相信,有一个为你而设的计划,无论如何,你必须跟随自己的内心,相信自己。
You don't want to love - your eternal and abnormal craving is to be loved. You aren't positive, you're negative. You absorb, absorb, as if you must fill yourself up with love, because you've got a shortage somewhere.
你不想去爱——你那永恒而不正常的渴望就是被爱。你不是积极的,你是消极的。你吸收,吸收,好像你必须用爱来填满自己,因为你在某个地方缺少爱。
The secret to being a writer is that you have to write. It's not enough to think about writing or to study literature or plan a future life as an author. You really have to lock yourself away, alone, and get to work.
成为作家的秘诀是你必须写作。仅仅考虑写作、研究文学或作为一名作家规划未来的生活是不够的。你真的必须把自己锁起来,一个人,然后开始工作。
There's always someone asking you to underline one piece of yourself - whether it's Black, woman, mother, dyke, teacher, etc. - because that's the piece that they need to key in to. They want to dismiss everything else.
总会有人让你在自己的某一部分下划线——不管是黑人、女性、母亲、堤坝、老师等等——因为这是他们需要重点强调的部分。他们想要忽略其他一切。
I am in love - and, my God, it is the greatest thing that can happen to a man. I tell you, find a woman you can fall in love with. Do it. Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.
我恋爱了——我的上帝,这是一个人所能发生的最伟大的事情。我告诉你,找一个你可以爱上的女人。这样做。让自己坠入爱河。如果你还没有这样做,你是在浪费生命。
You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.
你停止进入自己,远离他人。你放弃了对抗。你开始在爱中走向他人。神以慈爱、外向的爱感动你,你也以同样外向的爱感动别人。
To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe.
从与神隔绝到成为神的儿子是皈依的基本事实。这种与上帝关系的改变使你与自己,与你的兄弟人类,与自然,与宇宙的关系发生了改变。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
在你做出一个重要的战斗决定之前,是时候考虑一下你的恐惧了。是时候倾听你所能想象的每一种恐惧了!当你收集了所有的事实和恐惧,并做出了决定,关掉所有的恐惧,继续前进!
God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.
上帝给了你一张脸,你却创造了另一张脸。
Thrift shopping is really just an extension of me being that same kid and going into a place that's completely unconventional that has really endless possibilities in terms of outfits that you can put together and really just expressing yourself.
节俭购物实际上是我还是那个孩子的一种延伸,我去了一个完全非传统的地方,那里有无穷无尽的可能性,你可以把衣服放在一起,真正地表达你自己。
If you do not believe in yourself, no one will do it for you.
如果你不相信自己,没有人会为你做这件事。
Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.
你们要等候耶和华。要有男子气概,要有勇气。不要背道,要住在自己的地方,不要退后。
Do unto yourself as your neighbors do unto themselves and look pleasant.
你待自己要像你的邻舍待自己一样,并且要使人喜悦。
