A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
目录
Catalogue
You get kind of bored being in catalogues all the time.
你会觉得一直在目录里有点无聊。
For me, the card catalog has been a companion all my working life. To leave it is like leaving the house one was brought up in.
对我来说，卡片目录一直是我工作生涯的伴侣。离开就像离开被抚养长大的房子。
When you look like you stepped out of a catalog, that's never good. People shouldn't succumb to trend, they should interpret trend.
当你看起来像从目录中走出来的时候，这从来都不是好事。人们不应该屈服于潮流，他们应该理解潮流。
I would sooner read a time-table or a catalogue than nothing at all. They are much more entertaining than half the novels that are written.
我宁愿看时刻表或目录，也不愿什么也不看。它们比一半的小说更有趣。
I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.
我曾经有一朵玫瑰以我的名字命名，我感到非常荣幸。但我不喜欢读目录上的描述:躺在床上不行，靠在墙上倒挺好。
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。
