A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
沟通
Communication
The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.
最重要的事情往往是最难说出口的。它们是你感到羞耻的东西，因为语言会减少你的感觉——当你脑海中永恒的东西被拿出来的时候，它们只会缩小到活生生的大小。
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.Most people do not listen with the intent to understand: they listen with the intent to reply. They’re filtering everything through their own paradigms, reading their autobiography into other people’s lives.
先寻求理解，再寻求被理解。大多数人倾听的目的不是为了理解，而是为了回应。他们通过自己的范例来过滤一切，把自己的自传读给别人听。
Communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. To survive in the world, we have to act in concert with others, but to survive as ourselves, rather than simply as cogs in a wheel, we have to act alone.
沟通是一种持续的平衡行为，在亲密和独立的需求之间平衡。为了在这个世界上生存，我们必须与他人合作，但是为了作为我们自己而生存，而不仅仅是作为一个齿轮上的齿轮，我们必须独自行动。
I didn't know folk music growing up, no. It's something I've come to study, really, because I think there's so much to learn from traditional music in the sense of the way music began as a way of communication, the traveling storyteller, the bard, the minstrels.
我从小就不懂民间音乐，不懂。这是我开始学习的东西，真的，因为我认为从传统音乐中可以学到很多东西，从音乐作为一种交流的方式开始的意义上说，旅行的说书人，吟游诗人，吟游歌手。
Yes, it must be something that goes very well with my voice, let's say something that I understand that this would be good communication with the others, and I don't pretend for instance, to look for music that would be something that doesn't go with my personality.
是的，它一定是和我的声音配合得很好的东西，让我们说一些我能理解的东西，这将是和其他人很好的交流，我不会假装，例如，寻找与我的个性不符的音乐。
Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written, we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world.
梦和神话都是我们与自己之间重要的交流。如果我们不理解他们所写的语言，我们就会错过很多我们所知道的，并在我们不忙于操纵外部世界的时候告诉自己。
There are two barriers that often prevent communication between the young and their elders. The first is middle-aged forgetfulness of the fact that they themselves are no longer young. The second is youthful ignorance of the fact that the middle aged are still alive.
有两个障碍经常阻碍年轻人和老年人之间的交流。首先是中年人忘记了他们自己不再年轻的事实。第二，年轻人不知道中年人还活着。
The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.... A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.
与他人沟通最基本、最有力的方式就是倾听。只是听。也许我们给予彼此的最重要的东西就是我们的关注…爱的沉默往往比最善意的话语更能治愈伤痛，更能沟通。
I would do it today because the thing that appealed to me was not What does music mean to me? I don't think I would really be much without it, without it coming through me. It's my means of communication, my means of growth, my means of transportation from one point in my life to another.
我今天会这么做，因为吸引我的不是音乐对我意味着什么?我想如果没有它，如果没有它，我不会有什么成就。这是我的交流方式，是我成长的方式，是我从生命中的一个点到另一个点的交通工具。
There is an endless net of threads throughout the universe... At every crossing of the threads there is an individual. And every individual is a crystal bead. And every crystal bead reflects Not only the light from every other crystal in the net But also every other reflection Throughout the entire universe.
宇宙中有无数的丝线…… 每条线的交叉处都有一个独立的点。 每个人都是一颗水晶珠。 每颗水晶珠都会反射 不仅是网中其他晶体发出的光 还有其他的反射 整个宇宙。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication.
社会的形成更多的是由人们传播的媒介的性质而不是传播的内容所决定的。
I see dance being used as communication between body and soul, to express what it too deep to find for words.
我看到舞蹈被用作身体和灵魂之间的交流，来表达它太深奥而无法用语言表达的东西。
For most women, the language of conversation is primarily a language of rapport: a way of establishing connections and negotiating relationships.
对大多数女性来说，谈话的语言主要是一种和谐的语言:一种建立联系和协商关系的方式。
But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction, and that to change the environment is to change behaviour.
但我绝对相信，建筑是一种社会活动，与某种交流或互动场所有关，而改变环境就是改变行为。
Good communication is less about saying what you mean, and more about defining what you say.
良好的沟通不是说你想说什么，而是定义你要说什么。
Ideology and communication more often than not run into each other rather than complement each other. Principle and communication work together. Ideology and communication often work apart.
意识形态与沟通往往是相辅相成、相得益彰的。原则和沟通是相辅相成的。意识形态和沟通常常是分开工作的。
