A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
社区
Community
Read the editorial page of your local paper. It introduces you to opinion and can be terrifically provocative and perhaps a great motivating force for you to get involved in your community, regardless of your political ideology.
阅读当地报纸的社论版。无论你的政治意识形态如何，它都能让你接触到不同的观点，可能会非常具有挑衅性，或许还能极大地激励你参与到社区中来。
I've taken every writing class I've had available. I took classes in high school, and I took English and writing classes in community college, but I dropped out of college. I also attended a local writing workshop two years ago.
我上了所有我能上的写作课。我在高中上过课，在社区大学上过英语和写作课，但我从大学退学了。两年前，我还参加了一个当地的写作研讨会。
A world community can exist only with world communication, which means something more than extensive short-wave facilities scattered about the globe. It means common understanding, a common tradition, common ideas, and common ideals.
一个国际社会只有通过世界通讯才能存在，这意味着不仅仅是遍布全球的广泛的短波设施。它意味着共同的理解、共同的传统、共同的思想和共同的理想。
We live in a time when the words impossible and unsolvable are no longer part of the scientific community's vocabulary. Each day we move closer to trials that will not just minimize the symptoms of disease and injury but eliminate them.
我们生活在一个不可能和无法解决的词汇不再是科学界词汇的一部分的时代。我们每天都在向试验迈进，这些试验不仅能将疾病和伤害的症状最小化，还能消除它们。
The earth is ready, the time is ripe, for the authoritative expression of the feminine as well as the masculine interpretation of that common social consensus which is slowly writing justice in the State and fraternity in the social order.
地球已经准备好了，时机已经成熟，可以权威地表达女性以及男性对共同社会共识的解释，这种共识正在慢慢地在国家中书写正义，在社会秩序中书写友爱。
It's not about doing over the living room of someone who has bad taste in color. This is about restoring historic buildings and instilling pride in a community, which can be done through designing new public spaces and social gathering spots.
这并不是说要改造一个对颜色有不良品味的人的客厅。这是关于修复历史建筑，并向社区灌输自豪感，这可以通过设计新的公共空间和社交聚会场所来实现。
Hear me, four quarters of the world - a relative I am! Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is! Give me the eyes to see and the strength to understand, that I may be like you. With your power only can I face the winds.
听我说，世界的四分之四——我是一个亲戚!给我力量，让我走在柔软的大地上，一个相对于一切的一切!求你赐我眼睛能看见，又赐我力量能明白，使我可以像你一样。有了你的力量，我才能迎风而行。
An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.
一个人如果违反了良心告诉他是不公正的法律，并且心甘情愿地接受监禁的惩罚，以唤起社会对其不公正的良心，那么他实际上是在表达对法律的最高尊重。
I submit that an individual who breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.
我认为，如果一个人违反了良心告诉他是不公正的法律，并愿意接受惩罚，呆在监狱里唤起社会对其不公正的良心，那么他实际上是在表达对法律的最高尊重。
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。
Back then, a half-a-century ago, the situation was totally different. Economically, we were practically on our knees, and politically, we were still excluded from the community of nations. Today, in this respect, we have a totally different and much more stable basis.
半个世纪以前，情况完全不同。在经济上，我们实际上是跪着的，在政治上，我们仍然被排除在国际社会之外。今天，在这方面，我们有一个完全不同和稳定得多的基础。
Today we stand on a bridge leading from the territorial state to the world community. Politically, we are still governed by the concept of the territorial state; economically and technically, we live under the auspices of worldwide communications and worldwide markets.
今天，我们站在从领土国家通往国际社会的桥梁上。在政治上，我们仍然受到领土国家概念的支配;在经济和技术上，我们生活在全球通讯和全球市场的支持下。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.
在每个社区，都有工作要做。每个国家都有伤口需要愈合。在每个人的心中，都有这样做的力量。
I accept relationship as my primary teacher about myself, other people, and the mysteries of the universe.
我接受人际关系是我的主要老师，它教我了解自己、他人和宇宙的奥秘。
I received the most fantastic welcome to the Broadway Theatre community. I walked on stage to tremendous applause and a long standing ovation, wondering when I was ever going to be able to say my first line!
我受到了百老汇戏剧界最热烈的欢迎。我走上舞台，全场爆发出热烈的掌声和长时间的起立鼓掌，我不知道什么时候才能说出我的第一句话!
The arts community is generally dominated by liberals because if you are concerned mainly with painting or sculpture, you don't have time to study how the world works. And if you have no understanding of economics, strategy, history and politics, then naturally you would be a liberal.
艺术界通常由自由主义者主导，因为如果你主要关注绘画或雕塑，你就没有时间去研究世界是如何运作的。如果你不懂经济、战略、历史和政治，那么你自然会成为一个自由主义者。
I emphasize self-esteem, self-confidence, and dignity, not as an ideal, but as a real test of community organization. Without leadership development, community organizations do not have staying power.
我强调自尊、自信和尊严，不是作为一种理想，而是作为对社区组织的真正考验。没有领导力的发展，社区组织就没有后劲。
