A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
协作
Collaboration
There is a lot to be said for collaboration, and it should be seen as just another way to do things as it is in other forms of writing, such as for television, where it is standard practice.
对于协作有很多要说的，它应该被看作是另一种方式，就像在其他形式的写作中一样，比如在电视中，这是一种标准的做法。
Collaboration is much like a birth. The song that springs forth resembles each one of us to a degree, but it's the kind of thing that would never be born from just one of us sitting down with a guitar.
合作就像出生一样。这首歌在某种程度上和我们每个人都很相似，但这是那种永远不会由我们中一个人拿着吉他弹出来的歌。
The ability and desire to transform the mundane materials at hand that we both bring into the collaboration well beyond the sum total of the parts - to birth a new baby neither of us could claim single parentage of.
我们都有能力和愿望将手头的平凡材料转化为合作的一部分，这远远超出了所有部件的总和——生产一个我们都不能声称是单亲的新生儿。
Several technological and political forces have converged, and that has produced a global, Web-enabled playing field that allows for multiple forms of collaboration without regard to geography or distance - or soon, even language.
一些技术和政治力量已经融合在一起，形成了一个全球性的、支持网络的竞争环境，允许多种形式的合作，而不考虑地理位置或距离——甚至很快，甚至语言。
Between you and me, I think that may be one of the things that will help with the collaboration, because there are things Eric thinks I'm moving too quickly on, and there are things I think he's dragging out. When it gets to the editor they can arbitrate.
在你和我之间，我认为这可能是有助于合作的一件事，因为埃里克认为有些事情我进展得太快了，有些事情我认为他拖延了。当它到达编辑器时，他们可以仲裁。
There comes a point with any collaboration like that where you start having other interests creatively. I was moving in one direction musically, and as a guitar player, Mark wanted to move in another direction. That was essentially the reason we broke up.
在任何类似的合作中，你都会开始有其他创造性的兴趣。我在音乐上向一个方向发展，而作为一名吉他手，马克想向另一个方向发展。那基本上就是我们分手的原因。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I've done a lot of collaboration over the years, but right now I'm enjoying writing by myself and just being me again for a while.
这些年来，我做了很多合作，但现在我很享受自己写作的乐趣，只是暂时做回自己。
When we did concerts, we wanted them to be theatrical events - collaborations with designers, choreographers, and directors - because we thought traditional rock concerts were boring.
当我们举办音乐会时，我们希望它们是戏剧活动——与设计师、编舞和导演合作——因为我们认为传统的摇滚音乐会很无聊。
Collaboration on a book is the ultimate unnatural act.
合作写一本书是最不自然的行为。
I think it is in collaboration that the nature of art is revealed.
我认为艺术的本质是在合作中显露出来的。
Collaboration is no longer painful - or precious.
合作不再痛苦——也不再珍贵。
