A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
放弃
Abandon
I'd paint long strips of canvas and abandon them on the beach, or put bread out in geometric patterns for the pigeons downtown. I wanted people to find something nice and intriguing to puzzle over. Then I'd go back to see if the things were still there, or if anyone would notice.
我会画长条帆布，然后把它们扔在沙滩上，或者把面包做成几何图案放在市中心的鸽子面前。我想让人们找到一些美好而有趣的东西来思考。然后我会回去看看那些东西是否还在那里，或者是否有人会注意到。
In the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask, 'why don't I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden,' and they abandon their values.
在过去，有一些人并不富裕，但满足于他们的生活方式，整天欢笑和快乐。但当新富人们出现时，人们看着他们问，‘我为什么不也过上那样的生活，有漂亮的房子、汽车和花园呢?’他们就放弃了自己的价值观。
I work, and then whenever I have any other time, I'm with my daughter, and then I go to sleep. I think you basically have to abandon the dreams of having any other adult activities in your life. You have to go to sleep whenever your child goes to sleep. That's basically how we're doing it.
我工作，然后每当我有其他时间，我和我的女儿在一起，然后我就去睡觉。我认为你基本上必须放弃在生活中从事任何其他成人活动的梦想。你的孩子什么时候睡觉，你就什么时候睡觉。我们基本上就是这么做的。
We have been abandoned by our own country. And he said, 'Yeah, mama, somebody's coming to get you. Somebody's coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Thursday. Somebody's coming to get you on Friday.' And she drowned Friday night.
我们被自己的国家抛弃了。他说，‘是的，妈妈，有人来接你了。星期二有人来接你。星期三有人来接你。星期四有人来接你。星期五有人来接你。星期五晚上她淹死了。
In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.
在赐给我们孩子的过程中，上帝把我们置于领导和服务的地位。他呼吁我们为了别人而放弃自己的生命——放弃自己的欲望，把孩子的利益放在首位。然而，根据他完美的设计，正是通过这种无私，我们才能真正实现。
I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now. It's not about abandoning what I was doing before, or giving up. It's about knowing that if I die tomorrow, I lived the way I wanted to.
我做我现在喜欢做的事。如果我明天醒来决定要跳舞，我就会这么做。或设计衣服。我想无论我现在在做什么，我都会全力以赴。这不是放弃我以前做过的事，或者放弃。而是要知道，如果我明天就死了，我会按照我想要的方式生活。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
