A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
竞争
Competition
Some days the competition would beat me and I'd go home thinking awful thoughts, want to hide under the bed, depressed. But of course, in the news business, when you're working a daily news broadcast, you get your victories and defeats every day.
有些日子,竞争会打败我,我回家时会想一些可怕的想法,想要躲在床下,沮丧。当然,在新闻行业,当你在做每日新闻广播的时候,你每天都会得到胜利和失败。
So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.
只要生产和交换生活资料的竞争制度继续下去,艺术就会继续退化;如果这一体系要永远持续下去,那么艺术就注定要消亡,也必然会消亡;也就是说,文明将会消亡。
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.
战斗是人类能沉溺其中的最壮观的竞争。它带出所有最好的东西;它去掉了所有的底数。在战斗中人人都害怕。懦夫是那种让恐惧战胜责任感的人。责任是男人的本质。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The pressure people put on themselves and the rivalry between the teams is much more marked. And I think that's a good thing. As long as that rivalry remains within the spirit of competition, it con only spur everyone on.
人们给自己施加的压力和两队之间的竞争更加明显。我认为这是一件好事。只要这种竞争仍然存在于竞争的精神之中,它只会激励每个人前进。
