A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
改变
Change
People are talking about the Internet as though it is going to change the world. It's not going to change the world. It's not going to change the way we think, and it's not going to change the way we feel.
人们在谈论互联网,好像它将改变世界。这不会改变世界。它不会改变我们的思维方式,也不会改变我们的感觉。
The most meaningful engine of change, powerful enough to confront corporate power, may be not so much environmental quality, as the economic development and growth associated with the effort to improve it.
最有意义的变革引擎,强大到足以对抗企业的力量,可能不是环境质量,而是与改善环境的努力相关的经济发展和增长。
I got rid of my glasses and they changed my hair. That's really all they did. They went shopping for me, so the clothes are different too. It wasn't like Extreme Makeover where I got a nose job or anything.
我摘下眼镜,他们换了我的头发。他们就是这么做的。他们为我购物,所以衣服也不一样。这不是我做鼻子整形之类的极端改造。
In Paris they have special wheelchairs that go through every doorway. They don't change the doorways, they change the wheelchairs. To hell with the people! If someone weighs a couple more pounds, that's it!

There is certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place.
即使情况越来越糟,变化也会让人松一口气!正如我在乘坐公共马车旅行时经常发现的那样,变换一下位置,在一个新的地方受伤,往往是一种安慰。

Despite the encouraging and wonderful gains and the changes for women which have occurred in my lifetime, there is still room to advance and to promote correction of the remaining deficiencies and imbalances.

It doesn't really change, actually. I think The Rolling Stones have gotten a lot better. An awful lot better, I think. A lot of people don't, but I think they have, and to me that's gratifying. It's worth it.
实际上,它并没有真正改变。我认为滚石乐队已经好多了。我觉得好多了。很多人没有,但我认为他们有,这对我来说是令人满意的。它是值得的。
We emphasize that we believe in change because we were born of it, we have lived by it, we prospered and grew great by it. So the status quo has never been our god, and we ask no one else to bow down before it.
我们强调,我们相信变革,因为我们诞生于变革,我们依靠变革而生存,我们依靠变革而繁荣昌盛,并因此而变得伟大。所以,现状从来就不是我们的上帝,我们不要求任何人向它低头。

The saddest fact of climate change - and the chief reason we should be concerned about finding a proper response - is that the countries it will hit hardest are already among the poorest and most long-suffering.
气候变化最令人悲哀的事实——也是我们应该关注如何找到适当对策的主要原因——是,受影响最严重的国家已经是最贫穷和最长期受苦的国家之一。
