A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
孩子
Child
A child's fear is a world whose dark corners are quite unknown to grownup people; it has its sky and its abysses, a sky without stars, abysses into which no light can ever penetrate.
孩子的恐惧是一个成年人完全不知道的黑暗角落的世界;它有它的天空和它的深渊，没有星星的天空，没有任何光线能穿透的深渊。
So, for example, if a child is labeled as having a learning disability, it has very concrete consequences for the kinds of services and potentially accommodations that child will get.
举个例子，如果一个孩子被贴上了学习障碍的标签，它会对孩子得到的各种服务和潜在的适应产生非常具体的影响。
I never read a single book as a child. I did not read as a child. I worked on the farm. I had books in the classroom, but that was it. I never read a single book outside of the classroom.
我小时候从未读过一本书。我小时候不读书。我在农场工作。我的教室里有书，但仅此而已。我从来没有在教室外读过一本书。
To teach a child an instrument without first giving him preparatory training and without developing singing, reading and dictating to the highest level along with the playing is to build upon sand.
教一个孩子一种乐器，而不先给他准备训练，也不培养他唱歌、读书、听写和演奏的最高水平，这是建立在沙上的。
When I was a child I wanted to be a petrol pump attendant. I suppose you have all sorts of thoughts as a child and at the time I figured that it was a way to avoid doing anything like going on stage.

Of course, we knew that this meant an attack on the union. The bosses intended gradually to get rid of us, employing in our place child labor and raw immigrant girls who would work for next to nothing.
当然，我们知道这意味着对工会的攻击。老板们打算逐渐解雇我们，在我们的地方雇用童工和没有经验的移民女孩，她们几乎什么都不做。
The thing about all my food is that everything is a remembered flavor. Maybe it's something I had as a child or maybe it's something I had in Milan, but I want it to taste better than you ever thought.
我所有的食物都是一种令人难忘的味道。也许是我小时候吃的，也许是我在米兰吃的，但我想让它尝起来比你想象的更好。
You know, people want to honor me, and on the one hand I just don't want to be a poster child; but on the other, I want to do something classy and great - something where the residuals will go to the cause.

Even when I was little and going on auditions, it was clear who was there because they wanted to be there, and who was there because their stage parents were making them be there. There was a major difference.
甚至当我还小的时候，去试镜的时候，我就很清楚谁在那里，因为他们想去，谁在那里，因为他们的舞台父母让他们去。这是一个很大的不同。
What does it feel like to be a parent? What does it feel like to be a child? And that's what stories do. They bring you there. They offer a dramatic explanation, which is always different from an expository explanation.
当父母是什么感觉?当个孩子是什么感觉?这就是故事的作用。他们把你带到那里。他们提供了戏剧性的解释，这总是不同于解释性的解释。
The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.
母子关系是矛盾的，在某种意义上是悲剧的。它需要母亲最强烈的爱，但这种爱必须帮助孩子远离母亲，成长为完全独立的人。
I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best that I could bring to it.
在我看来，抚养孩子不仅是一项充满爱和责任的工作，而且是一项和世界上任何光荣的职业一样有趣和具有挑战性的职业，是一项要求我尽我所能做到最好的职业。
