A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
车
Car
I think that cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals; I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object.
我认为今天的汽车几乎和哥特式大教堂一模一样;我指的是一个时代的最高创造，由不知名的艺术家满怀激情地构思出来，如果不是被把他们当作纯粹的魔法物品的全体人民所使用，而是被形象所消费。
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。
Automobiles have always been part of my life, and I'm sure they always will be. What is it about them that moves me? The sound of a great engine, the unity and uniqueness of an automobile's engineering and coachwork, the history of the company and the car, and, of course, the sheer beauty of the thing.
汽车一直是我生活的一部分，我相信它们也将永远是。是什么让我感动?伟大引擎的声音，汽车工程和马车的统一性和独特性，公司和汽车的历史，当然，还有纯粹的美。
I'm a big potato chip girl. I don't like chocolate and cakes and all that, but I have to have my potato chips. I've got bags in the back of my car right now! But I never beat myself up about it, because, look: You can't give up every damn thing. You need something in your life that you like just because you like it!
我是一个爱吃薯条的女孩。我不喜欢巧克力和蛋糕之类的东西，但我必须吃薯条。我的车后面现在就有包!但我从不为此自责，因为，听着:你不能放弃所有该死的东西。在你的生活中，你需要一些你喜欢的东西，因为你喜欢它!
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
So much of my life is spent just focused on driving race cars.
我一生的大部分时间都花在驾驶赛车上。
Not having to own a car has made me realize what a waste of time the automobile is.
没有车让我意识到汽车是多么浪费时间。
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。
I had to stop driving my car for a while... the tires got dizzy.
我不得不停了一会儿车……轮胎晕眩了。
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。
