A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
夫妇
Couple
The West hasn't reached its universal state as yet, although its close to it, but it certainly has evolved out of its warring state phase, which it was in for a couple of centuries.
西方还没有达到它的普遍状态,虽然它离它很近,但它肯定已经从它的交战状态中进化出来了,它已经处于交战状态几个世纪了。
It started as a conversation, a couple of guys over at the house. It started as a conversation, but then it got kind of heated, and we called everybody over and we had a meeting about it.
开始是一段对话,几个人在房子里。刚开始只是一场对话,后来变得有点激烈,我们把每个人都叫了过来,开了个会。
I made a couple of bad pitches, got the ball up and cost us a couple of key runs, but overall I felt pretty good, felt strong. Hopefully, I can take this, build off of it and take this to the next game.
我投了几个糟糕的球,把球拿起来,让我们丢了几个关键的分,但总的来说我感觉很好,感觉很强壮。我希望,我能把这个建立起来,带到下一场比赛。
I played baseball my entire life, up through college and everything, so working out and being physically active was always a huge part of my life. I'll spend at least a couple of hours in the gym a day.
我打棒球打了一辈子,一直打到大学毕业,所以锻炼和锻炼身体一直是我生活中很重要的一部分。我每天至少要花几个小时在健身房。
I have a home-school group with a couple of my friends. We switch off going to each others' houses and going to the library to do art and stuff. It's almost like our own little school - a really little school.
我和几个朋友组成了一个家庭学校小组。我们不再去别人家,也不再去图书馆做艺术之类的事情。这就像我们自己的一所小学校——一所非常小的学校。
There were a couple of things in the intervention that made me know I needed help. One was a letter from my daughter saying that she was ashamed she had the same last name as I did, which will shock you a little bit.
在干预过程中,有几件事让我知道我需要帮助。其中一封是我女儿的来信,她说她为自己和我姓一样的姓氏而感到羞愧,这可能会让你有点震惊。
Doesn't matter whether it's a teen girl who's pregnant, hasn't told her parents, or an elderly couple dealing with one of them being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Those are real people to me. Those are the people I dealt with every single day.
无论是一个怀孕的少女,还没有告诉父母,还是一对老年夫妇正在应对其中一人被诊断为阿尔茨海默氏症,这都无关紧要。对我来说,他们是真实的人。这些人是我每天都要打交道的人。
There are a couple of things that I'm sure people don't think are important, but I do. I don't like hair changes unless there's a reason for it. Clothing - I don't like to see an outfit worn more than one time in an hour - you can wear it again a few weeks later.
有几件事我确信人们不认为重要,但我认为重要。我不喜欢头发变了,除非有原因。衣服——我不喜欢看到一件衣服在一个小时内穿了不止一次——你可以在几周后再穿一次。
In my life, there have been people that I was convinced would be around forever, and yet, somehow they managed to drift away after a couple of years. Likewise there have been people who have begun as casual acquaintances but become more important with each passing year.
在我的生活中,有一些人,我相信他们会永远在我身边,然而,不知何故,他们在几年后设法离开了。同样,也有一些人开始只是泛泛之交,但随着时间的流逝,他们变得越来越重要。
Anytime you win, it's a good win. But we didn't play very well. Offensively, we were getting underneath the ball and hitting in the air a lot. And defensively, we made a couple of mistakes that hurt us. We're going to have to shape some things up by Thursday and Saturday.
任何时候你赢了,都是一场好赢。但是我们打得不是很好。在进攻端,我们经常钻到球下面,在空中击球。在防守端,我们犯了几个错误,伤害了我们。我们必须在星期四和星期六之前把一些事情安排妥当。
It's been slow. The first couple of weeks were kind of slow, but you've got to put yourself in my shoes. I wasn't familiar at all with the offense. These other guys, even the rookies, were here all season and spring. I've had two weeks to learn the offense, but it's sinking in.
这是缓慢的。开始的几周有点慢,但你得设身处地为我想想。我对进攻一点都不熟悉。这些家伙,甚至新秀,整个赛季和春天都在这里。我有两周的时间来学习进攻,但我渐渐适应了。
I think about everything first. I think about the scenario: the story and the characters, what I'm trying to say and I'll think about that for a couple of days until it's all locked in and then when I get to an instrument it'll just fall out. But the song's kind of all ready there in my head.
我先考虑所有的事情。我思考场景:故事和人物,我想说的,我会思考几天,直到一切都被锁定,然后当我拿起一个乐器,它就会掉出来。但是这首歌已经在我的脑海里准备好了。
