A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
车
Car
I've always had an inquisitive mind about everything from flowers to television sets to motor cars. Always pulled them apart - couldn't put 'em back, but always extremely interested in how things work.
从鲜花到电视机再到汽车，我对什么都有好奇心。总是把它们分开——不能把它们放回去，但总是对事物的运作方式非常感兴趣。
Societies need rules that make no sense for individuals. For example, it makes no difference whether a single car drives on the left or on the right. But it makes all the difference when there are many cars!
社会需要对个人毫无意义的规则。例如，一辆车是靠左行驶还是靠右行驶没有区别。但是当有很多车的时候，情况就完全不同了!
There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars, mansions, cars, nice clothes, beautiful women, and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace.
曾经有一段时间，我以为自己拥有了一切——数百万美元、豪宅、汽车、漂亮的衣服、漂亮的女人，以及你能想象到的一切物质上的东西。现在我为和平而奋斗。
It was my father who instilled the 'never say no' attitude I carry around with me today, and who instilled in me a sense of wonder, always taking us on adventures in the car, never telling us the destination.
正是我的父亲给我灌输了“永远不要说不”的态度，这种态度一直伴随着我，他给我灌输了一种好奇心，总是带着我们在车里冒险，从不告诉我们目的地。
I have a need to make these sorts of connections literal sometimes, and a vehicle often helps to do that. I have a relationship to car culture. It isn't really about loving cars. It's sort of about needing them.
我有时需要使这些连接文字化，而交通工具通常有助于做到这一点。我和汽车文化有关系。这并不是真的爱车。而是需要他们。
I love driving cars, looking at them, cleaning and washing and shining them. I clean 'em inside and outside. I'm very touchy about cars. I don't want anybody leaning on them or closing the door too hard, know what I mean?
我喜欢开车，看着它们，清洗，清洗，擦亮它们。我把它们里里外外打扫干净。我对汽车很敏感。我不想让任何人靠在上面或者把门关得太紧，明白我的意思吗?
One morning, about four o'clock, I was driving my car just about as fast as I could. I thought, Why am I out this time of night? I was miserable, and it came to me: I'm falling in love with somebody I have no right to fall in love with.
一天早上，大约四点钟，我正以最快的速度开车。我想，为什么我在晚上这个时候出去?我很痛苦，我突然想到:我爱上了一个我没有权利爱上的人。
We're just into toys, whether it's motorcycles or race cars or computers. I've got the Palm Pilot right here with me, I've got the world's smallest phone. Maybe it's just because I'm still a big little kid and I just love toys, you know?
我们只是喜欢玩具，不管是摩托车、赛车还是电脑。我有掌上电脑，我有世界上最小的手机。也许只是因为我还是个大孩子，我喜欢玩具，你知道吗?
Most people have no concept of how an automatic transmission works, yet they know how to drive a car. You don't have to study physics to understand the laws of motion to drive a car. You don't have to understand any of this stuff to use Macintosh.
大多数人对自动变速器的工作原理一无所知，但他们知道如何开车。你不需要学习物理就能理解开车时的运动规律。在使用麦金塔电脑时，你不需要了解这些东西。
See, what you're meant to do when you have a mid-life crisis is buy a fast car, aren't you? Well, I've always had fast cars. It's not that. It's the fear that you're past your best. It's the fear that the stuff you've done in the past is your best work.
你看，当你遇到中年危机时，你应该做的就是买一辆跑车，不是吗?嗯，我一直有跑车。这并不是说。而是害怕你已经超越了最好的自己。而是害怕你过去做过的事情是你最好的工作。
Yes, I did and a lot of my friends who are in the same program as I were very much supportive, and the most important thing they said to me is do not let this interfere with what you have to do in taking car of yourself. That was the most important thing.
是的，我做了，我的很多和我在同一个项目的朋友都非常支持我，他们对我说的最重要的事情是，不要让这件事影响你自己开车。这是最重要的。
I'm a big believer in everybody being themselves. If not doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, that's great. But if doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, then you should be able to do it. What I do outside the car adds to who I am and expresses a different side of me.
我坚信每个人都要做自己。如果你自己不做泳装日历，那很好。但是如果你自己做一个泳装日历，那么你应该能够做到。我在车外所做的一切增加了我的个性，表达了我不同的一面。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
People and squirrels are very different. Most people will not argue that. But I find that there is one situation in which they're very similar. And that is: when I am driving towards them in my car. Then they're kind of hard to tell apart - especially if the human is kind of hairy.
人和松鼠是非常不同的。大多数人不会这么认为。但我发现有一种情况它们非常相似。那就是:当我开着车向他们驶来的时候。然后它们就很难区分了——尤其是如果人类是多毛的。
Remote villages and communities have lost their identity, and their peace and charm have been sacrificed to that worst of abominations, the automobile.
偏远的村庄和社区已经失去了它们的特性，它们的和平和魅力被牺牲给了最可怕的东西，汽车。

这是一场永远不会结束的战斗，让你的汽车变得更好，同时也努力让自己变得更好。

比起睡在床上，我更喜欢睡在移动的汽车里。
