A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
你自己
Yourself
I think is very beneficial to relax yourself so that when you are doing it you are not staggering for lines and your concentration is not on what I am going to say - but the scene itself, the character that you are talking to.
我认为放松自己是非常有益的,这样当你在做的时候,你就不会因为台词而感到惊讶,你的注意力也不会集中在我要说的内容上——而是场景本身,你所交谈的角色。
In stand-up it really helps to play yourself and talk about your own feelings. You cannot fail to be original if you're just talking about what you think about X, Y and Z. Unless you've got a twin brother who's also a stand-up.
在单口喜剧中,扮演自己,谈论自己的感受真的很有帮助。如果你只是在谈论你对X、Y和z的看法,你不可能不具有原创性,除非你有一个双胞胎兄弟也是单口相声演员。
When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be even lonelier than when you're by yourself. You can be in a huge crowd, but if you don't feel like you can trust anybody or talk to anybody, you feel like you're really alone.
当你被这些人包围的时候,会比你一个人的时候更加孤独。你可以在一大群人当中,但是如果你觉得你不能信任任何人或和任何人交谈,你会觉得你真的很孤单。
I think there's a supreme power behind the whole thing, an intelligence. Look at all of the instincts of nature, both animals and plants, the very ingenious ways they survive. If you cut yourself, you don't have to think about it.
我认为这一切的背后有一种至高无上的力量,一种智慧。看看自然界所有的本能,包括动物和植物,它们生存的独特方式。如果你割伤了自己,你就不用想了。
As the writer, you're always a presence in the song. If you get close to what human beings are like, you're writing about common experience. We all do much the same things, so if you nail somebody, then you've also nailed yourself.
作为作者,你总是在歌曲中出现。如果你接近人类的样子,你就在写共同的经历。我们都做着同样的事情,所以如果你钉住了某人,那么你也钉住了自己。
Sometimes you can press a little bit and you're trying to do too much and you're trying too hard. You want to win so bad and you want to help the team so badly that you end up trying too much instead of letting the play come to you.
有时候你可以稍微按一下,但你想做的太多了,你想得太努力了。你太想赢球了,你太想帮助球队了,以至于你最终付出了太多努力,而不是让机会来找你。
Once in high school, I completely over plucked my left eyebrow all the way up to where you're not supposed to. I had no idea what I was doing and it looked terrible! My mom was like "What did you do to yourself?" I was so embarrassed.
上高中的时候,我整了整左眉一直到你不应该去的地方。我不知道我在做什么,而且看起来很糟糕!我妈妈说"你对自己做了什么?"我很尴尬。
There are always some doubts when you do a new album though. You wonder whether you succeeded or not, especially when you waited as long as I did for this one - seven years. You're never really sure if it will be a nice record or not.
不过,当你发行新专辑时,总会有一些疑问。你想知道你是否成功了,尤其是当你像我一样等了整整七年。你永远无法确定这张唱片是否会很好。
I feel like I've never had a home, you know? I feel related to the country, to this country, and yet I don't know exactly where I fit in... There's always this kind of nostalgia for a place, a place where you can reckon with yourself.
我觉得我从来没有家,你知道吗?我觉得我和这个国家,和这个国家有联系,但我不知道我到底属于哪个国家……总有一种对一个地方的怀旧之情,一个你可以自己思考的地方。
The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember: Jobs are owned by the company, you own your career!
你可能犯的最大错误就是相信你在为别人工作。工作保障消失了。事业的动力必须来自个人。记住:工作是公司的,事业是你的!
I think it's like, you know, you can't get ahead of yourself, because no amount of success or exposure or opportunity is going to really matter or be ultimately fulfilling unless you can be totally present in what you're doing right now.
我认为这就像,你知道,你不能超越自己,因为没有多少的成功,曝光或机会是真正重要的,或最终实现,除非你能完全在你现在做的事情。
Often, when you've reached a very high level of achievement, you almost become paralyzed by the idea that anything you might do might be imperfect. Perfection is just the striving, the effort, the struggle, but it's hard to remember that.
通常,当你达到很高的成就水平时,你几乎会因为你可能做的任何事情都可能不完美而麻痹。完美就是努力,努力,奋斗,但是很难记住。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.
宽恕是你给自己的礼物。
Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.
除了你自己,没有人能给你带来平静。
As a young man... you don't know anything about yourself. And add on to that, you're on the cover of magazines. People are interviewing you about what you think. You feel like a real phony.
作为一个年轻人……你对自己一无所知。而且,你还上了杂志的封面。人们会就你的想法采访你。你觉得自己像个骗子。
Make yourself look really stupid so you don't feel bad doing something a little stupid.
让自己看起来很傻,这样做一点傻事你就不会觉得不好受。
Pushing people away and denying yourself love makes you weak, not strong. Especially when you do it out of fear.
把别人推开,否定自己的爱会让你变得软弱,而不是坚强。尤其是当你出于恐惧去做的时候。
If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.
如果你站起来被计数,你可能会不时地被击倒。但请记住:一个被对手击倒的人可以重新站起来。一个被从众心理压扁的人会永远消沉下去。
