A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
喜剧演员
Comedian
Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made.
抚养孩子是一项极其艰难和危险的工作，没有积累的智慧:每一代人都在重复上一代人所犯的错误。
When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things - not the great occasions - that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness.
当我们回忆过去的时候，我们通常会发现，那些最简单的事情，而不是那些伟大的时刻，在我们回想的时候，会给我们带来最大的快乐。
I tell people I'm a stand-up comedian two hours a week. The rest of the time, I'm somebody's husband, I'm somebody's father. I'm a man. I take great pride in that.
我告诉人们我是一个单口喜剧演员，每周两个小时。剩下的时间，我是别人的丈夫，我是别人的父亲。我一个人。我对此深感自豪。
I used to have a theory actually that, if you've had a good childhood, a good marriage and a little bit of money in the bank, you're going to make a lousy comedian.
我曾经有一个理论，如果你有一个美好的童年，美满的婚姻，银行里有一点钱，你就会成为一个糟糕的喜剧演员。
Comedians walk out, get a feel for the crowd. If it's not going good, we change directions. If we got to drag your momma into this thing, we will. Whatever we got to do.
喜剧演员走出去，感受人群。如果不顺利，我们就改变方向。如果我们要把你妈妈扯进来，我们会的。无论我们要做什么。
The trouble with most comedians who try to do satire is that they are essentially brash, noisy and indelicate people who have to use a sledge hammer to smash a butterfly.
大多数试图讽刺的喜剧演员的问题在于，他们本质上是鲁莽、吵闹和粗俗的人，不得不用大锤砸蝴蝶。
I really don't know what makes a comedian. I think it's a family background and environment. Yet if you put the same ingredients in another person, he may never utter a funny line.
我真的不知道什么是喜剧演员。我认为这是家庭背景和环境。然而，如果你把同样的成分放在另一个人身上，他可能永远不会说一句有趣的话。
Well, a lot of politics is communicating with people, and obviously comedy has something to do with that. I've been a producer and led people. Also, being a comedian, you're under pressure.
嗯，很多政治活动都是与人交流的，很明显喜剧与此有关。我做过制片人，也领导过别人。而且，作为一个喜剧演员，你也有压力。
Poets have said that the reason to have children is to give yourself immortality. Immortality? Now that I have five children, my only hope is that they are all out of the house before I die.
诗人说过，有孩子的原因是为了让自己长生不老。永生?现在我有五个孩子了，我唯一的希望就是在我死之前他们都离开家。
Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.
没有什么比音乐更能把两代人分开了。当一个孩子八九岁的时候，他对自己的音乐产生了一种热情，这种热情甚至超过了他对拖延症和古怪衣服的热情。
When I got into this, I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me, I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor, and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.
当我开始写的时候，我从来没有想过评论。我从来没有想过人们会怎么评价我，我只是一个年轻人，对成为喜剧演员和演员感到兴奋，我只想做我该做的事。
I just like observing people - it's something I've done ever since I was a kid, and I got really good at it. That's a big part of why I became a comedian. My audience is filled with every kind of person you can imagine, and I love that.
我只是喜欢观察别人——这是我从小就做的事情，而且我做得很好。这也是我成为喜剧演员的一个重要原因。我的听众中有各种各样你能想象得到的人，我喜欢这样。

Everything is changing. People are taking the comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.
