A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
改变
Change
What starts the process, really, are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. If your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance.
当你还是个孩子的时候,真正开始这个过程的是欢笑、蔑视和怠慢。如果你的愤怒足够深、足够强烈,你会发现你可以通过卓越的个人直觉表现来改变这些态度。
Public discourse has been polluted now for decades by corporate-funded disinformation - not just with climate change but with a host of health, environmental and societal threats. The implications for the planet are grim.
几十年来,公共话语一直受到企业资助的虚假信息的污染——不仅是气候变化,还有一系列健康、环境和社会威胁。这对地球的影响是严峻的。
I think that there is a generational change, where new generations that have grown up always having access to the internet have a somewhat different view in terms of personal information and what needs to be kept private.
我认为这是一种代际变化,在成长过程中总是能接触到互联网的新一代对个人信息和需要保密的内容有不同的看法。
Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.
如果不接受一切都在改变的事实,我们就无法找到完美的平静。但不幸的是,尽管这是真的,我们很难接受它。因为我们不能接受短暂的事实,所以我们受苦。
For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.
由于长命百岁,我经历过许多这样的事例:由于获得了更好的信息或更充分的考虑,我不得不改变自己的观点,甚至在一些重要的问题上也是如此。我曾经认为这些观点是正确的,但后来发现事实并非如此。
Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances; departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for awareness, so that one may be happy in the interim.
改变是肯定的。和平之后是动乱;恶人一去不复返。这种反复出现不应构成悲伤的场合,而应构成觉悟的现实,以便在这段时间内可以感到快乐。
So, first you have to be able to play with a metronome. Then you take your freedom. If you play in an orchestra, you got to watch the conductor, he is like a metronome, but it is more difficult because he can change rhythms.
所以,首先你必须能够使用节拍器。然后你获得自由。如果你在管弦乐队演奏,你得看着指挥,他就像一个节拍器,但这更困难,因为他能改变节奏。
One of the most predictable things in life is there will be change. You are better off if you can have a say in the change. But you are ignorant or naive if you don't think there will be change, whether you want it to or not.
生活中最可预测的事情之一就是会有变化。如果你能在这个变化中有发言权,你就会过得更好。但如果你不认为会有改变,不管你愿不愿意,你就是无知或天真的。
I'm tired of playing worn-out depressing ladies in frayed bathrobes. I'm going to get a new hairdo and look terrific and go back to school and even if nobody notices, I'm going to be the most self-fulfilled lady on the block.
我厌倦了扮演穿着破旧浴衣的疲惫沮丧的女士。我要换一个新发型,看起来很棒,然后回到学校,即使没有人注意到,我也要成为街区里最自我满足的女人。
I've heard people say it looks as if I don't care and I've certainly read that, but the way I play is natural. I don't think I can change it. I know I'm working as hard as the next man, even if it doesn't always look that way.
我听人说我好像不在乎,我当然也读过,但我打球的方式很自然。我想我改变不了。我知道我和其他人一样努力工作,即使情况并不总是这样。
I've always thought of acting as a tool to change society. I watch a lot of actors and I see panic in their eyes because they don't know why they act and I know why I act. Whether I'm a good or a bad actor, I know why I do it.
我一直想成为改变社会的工具。我看了很多演员,从他们的眼睛里看到了恐慌,因为他们不知道自己为什么要演戏,而我知道自己为什么要演戏。不管我是一个好演员还是一个坏演员,我知道我为什么这么做。
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.
变化,持续的变化,不可避免的变化,才是当今社会的主导因素。任何明智的决定都不能再不考虑现在的世界,也不能再不考虑将来的世界。

The fun never goes out, but it changes with the years, with winning and losing.
乐趣永远不会消失,但它会随着时间的推移而变化,随着输赢而变化。
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。
Pain doesn't just show up in our lives for no reason. It's a sign that something in our lives needs to change.
