A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
课程
Course
The ancient Greeks were the first ones to say an unexamined life is not worth living. They don't tell you of course what we found out, an examined life not that fascinating either.
古希腊人是第一个说未经检验的生命不值得活下去的人。他们当然不会告诉你我们发现了什么,一个经过检验的生命也没有那么迷人。
Of course I realize that photography is not the technical facility as much as it is the eye, and this decision that one makes for the moment at which you are going to snap, you know.
当然,我意识到摄影不是技术手段,更重要的是它是眼睛,你知道,一个人为你要拍照的那一刻所做的决定。
And, well of course, Count Basie, and I think all of the black bands of the late thirties and early forties, bands with real players. They had an influence on everybody, not just drummers.

And, of course, method is very important as is a high-quality specialist (trainer) working with you to keep you going in the right direction for your improvement and to help create results.

Of course, not everybody's willing to go out and do the experiments, but for the people who are willing to go out and do that, - if the experiments don't work, then it means it's not science.

My daughter is, of course, perfect. Everyone's child is, but mine really is perfect. But I could not have raised her without my parents. From the time she was seven months until now, I have been a single parent.
我的女儿当然是完美的。每个人的孩子都是,但我的孩子真的很完美。但是如果没有我的父母,我不可能把她养大。从她七个月大到现在,我一直是个单亲妈妈。
Of course it can be said of jails, too, that they try - by punishing the troublesome - to deter others. No doubt, in certain instances this deterrence actually works. But generally speaking it fails conspicuously.
当然,监狱也可以说是通过惩罚麻烦的人来阻止别人。毫无疑问,在某些情况下,这种威慑确实有效。但总的来说,它明显失败了。
And what I learned in Church's course. He trained us intensively in his new system, which he was just developing. Two papers were presented. I think the second paper wasn't published until well after the course was finished.

Of course, sometimes when you write personally, you are also writing about society, obliquely reflecting topical issues, but not in a way that people would expect you to or in the way that someone trying to make a point would.

When I think back on it, of course I got lucky and got great directors and good breaks but all that was the physical part. But what made me a star was that I could take a chance and not have anything to worry about in terms of losing.
当我回想起来,我当然很幸运,有很棒的导演和很好的休息时间,但那只是身体上的部分。但让我成为明星的是,我可以抓住机会,不用担心会输掉比赛。
