A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
字符
Character
I don't know how many times I can sit there and talk about my character or my life. It's interesting to talk about experiences in the context of something you're doing for somebody else, and particularly if you can persuade others to join you in your support.
我不知道我能坐在那里多少次谈论我的性格或我的生活。在你为别人做的事情的背景下谈论经历是很有趣的,尤其是如果你能说服别人加入你的支持。
I'm an actor and I've created a lasting and memorable character named Frasier, who is not me, but who most people think is. So when I have a chance to play something that's different, I embrace it because it's fun; also in this case, he's a memorable character.
我是一个演员,我创造了一个持久而令人难忘的角色,名叫弗雷泽,他不是我,但大多数人认为他是我。所以当我有机会演奏一些不同的东西时,我拥抱它,因为它很有趣;同时,他也是一个令人难忘的角色。
Internationalism on the other hand admits that spiritual achievements have their roots deep in national life; from this national consciousness art and literature derive their character and strength and on it even many of the humanistic sciences are firmly based.
另一方面,国际主义承认精神成就根植于民族生活;从这种民族意识中,艺术和文学产生了自己的品格和力量,甚至许多人文科学都是建立在这种民族意识的基础上的。
Every role you play is literally - and I've said this before - every single role that you play, the only way you can connect to that character is because that was a piece of you that was scattered around that yard, almost like we got caught up in some whirlwind.
每个你扮演的角色是,我说过,每一个角色,你玩,你可以连接到这个角色的唯一方法就是因为这是一块散落在你的院子里,就像我们陷入一些旋风。
I describe my plots as follows; A character is walking down the street when all of a sudden a piano falls on them. They spend the rest of the story digging out from under that piano. How they dig, how long and how well, this all depends entirely on the character.
我把我的情节描述如下;一个角色正走在街上,突然一架钢琴落在他们身上。他们把故事的其余部分从那架钢琴下面挖了出来。他们如何挖掘,挖掘多久,挖掘得多好,这些都完全取决于角色本身。
All observers not laboring under hallucinations of the senses are agreed, or can be made to agree, about facts of sensible experience, through evidence toward which the intellect is merely passive, and over which the individual will and character have no control.
所有不受感官幻觉影响的观察者,都同意或能够同意感性经验的事实,这是通过理智只是被动的、个人意志和性格无法控制的证据来实现的。
There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
没有所谓的“白手起家”的人。我们是由成千上万的人组成的。每一个曾经为我们做过一件好事,或对我们说过一句鼓励的话的人,都已经成为我们性格、思想以及成功的组成部分。
I like books that have razor-sharp plotting that snaps and moves along. It's not about the main character being different at the end. I don't want my main character to be different in the end. I still want him committed to his ideas, to be steadfast, true and loyal.
我喜欢情节犀利的书。这并不是说主角在最后会有所不同。我不希望我的主角在最后有所不同。我仍然希望他忠于自己的想法,坚定、真实、忠诚。
In school, when we lived in New Jersey, we went to Broadway a lot, so I saw a lot of Broadway plays, and I just loved being able to see people play a different character and, you know, be able to be themselves at the end of the night. So, I've always wanted to do it.
在学校,当我们住在新泽西的时候,我们经常去百老汇,所以我看了很多百老汇的戏剧,我很喜欢看到人们扮演不同的角色,你知道,在晚上结束的时候能够做自己。所以,我一直想这么做。
If you start to disrespect the character you're playing, or play it too much for laughs, that can work for a sketch, it will sell some gags, but it's all technique. It's like watching a juggler - you can be impressed by it, but it's not going to touch you in any way.
如果你开始不尊重你所扮演的角色,或者为了搞笑而玩得太多,这对于一个素描来说是可行的,它会卖一些噱头,但这都是技巧。这就像看一个杂耍演员——你可能会对它印象深刻,但它不会以任何方式触动你。
I suppose I look for humor in most situations because it humanizes things; it makes a character much more three-dimensional if there's some kind of humor. Not necessarily laugh-out-loud type of stuff, just a sense that there is a humorous edge to things. I do like that.
我想我在大多数情况下寻找幽默是因为它使事物人性化;如果有一些幽默,它会使角色更加立体。不一定要大声笑,只是觉得事情有幽默的一面。我很喜欢。
Conscience is doubtless sufficient to conduct the coldest character into the road of virtue; but enthusiasm is to conscience what honor is to duty; there is in us a superfluity of soul, which it is sweet to consecrate to the beautiful when the good has been accomplished.
毫无疑问,良心足以引导最冷酷的人走上美德之路;热情之于良知,犹如荣誉之于责任;我们身上有一种多余的灵魂,当美好的事物完成后,把它奉献给美丽的事物是很甜蜜的。
