A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
勇气
Courage
The best thing to do is stare it in the face and move on. We have to face our fears and plow through. I think taking chances takes a lot more courage than staying stagnant and doing what's safe and comfortable.
最好的办法就是盯着它的脸看,然后继续前进。我们必须面对恐惧,克服困难。我认为冒险比停滞不前,做安全舒适的事情需要更多的勇气。
It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on in one's inward journey into new realms, than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. It is often easier to play the martyr, as it is to be rash in battle.
它需要更大的勇气来保持内在的自由,在一个人内在的旅程中进入新的领域,而不是勇敢地站在外面的自由。扮演殉道者往往更容易,因为在战斗中鲁莽行事也是如此。
Well, number one I like dancing. Number two I knew it would be challenging because I had never done this type of dance before. I always wanted to and I happened to have the courage to go out there and give it my best shot.
首先,我喜欢跳舞。第二,我知道这很有挑战性,因为我以前从未跳过这种舞。我一直想去,而且我碰巧有勇气走出去,尽我最大的努力。
When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.
当一个果敢的年轻人走到恃强凌弱的世界面前,勇敢地抓住他的胡子时,他常常惊奇地发现胡子竟在他手里脱落了,而绑在胡子上只是为了吓跑胆小的冒险家。
I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
我发誓,无论何时何地,只要有人忍受痛苦和羞辱,我绝不保持沉默。我们必须始终站在任何一方。中立帮助压迫者,而不是受害者。沉默鼓励受折磨的人,而不是受折磨的人。
Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character had abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and courage which it contained.
性格的力量在什么时候、在什么地方出现,古怪就会出现;一般说来,一个社会的古怪程度与它所包含的天才、精神活力和勇气的多少成正比。
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
我凭着一种更深层的本能,选择了一个男人,他能给我力量,他对我有巨大的要求,他不怀疑我的勇气和韧性,他不相信我的天真和无辜,他有勇气像对待女人一样对待我。
Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to this country as irresponsible talk. The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.
道德上的懦弱使我们不敢说出自己的想法,这对这个国家来说就像不负责任的言论一样危险。正确的方法并不总是受欢迎和容易的方法。在不受欢迎的时候坚持正义是对道德品质的真正考验。
Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want.
为什么他们总是教导我们,做我们想做的是容易的和邪恶的,我们需要纪律约束自己?这是世界上最难的事情——做我们想做的。这需要极大的勇气。我是说,我们真正想要的。
You take a number of small steps which you believe are right, thinking maybe tomorrow somebody will treat this as a dangerous provocation. And then you wait. If there is no reaction, you take another step: courage is only an accumulation of small steps.
你采取了一些你认为是正确的小步骤,想着也许明天有人会把这当作一种危险的挑衅。然后你等待。如果没有反应,你就会迈出另一步:勇气只是一小步的积累。
Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.
无论你决定走哪条路,总会有人告诉你,你错了。总有一些困难使你相信那些批评你的人是对的。制定行动计划并坚持到底需要勇气。
If we are to survive, we must have ideas, vision, and courage. These things are rarely produced by committees. Everything that matters in our intellectual and moral life begins with an individual confronting his own mind and conscience in a room by himself.
如果我们要生存下去,我们必须有思想、远见和勇气。这些东西很少是由委员会制定的。在我们的智力和道德生活中,一切重要的事情都始于一个人在一个房间里独自面对自己的思想和良知。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Courage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears.
勇气就是永远不要让恐惧影响你的行动。
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
你想知道你是谁吗?不要问。行动!行动将描绘和定义你。
God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
上帝,赐予我们恩典,让我们平静地接受无法改变的事情,赐予我们勇气去改变应该改变的事情,赐予我们智慧去区分两者。
You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
除非你有勇气看不见海岸,否则你永远无法跨越海洋。
When you have no choice, mobilize the spirit of courage.
当你别无选择时,调动勇气。
With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.
只要有足够的勇气,你就可以没有名声。
