A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
对
Against
Perhaps it's good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art, after all, but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?
也许一个人受苦是好事。一个艺术家如果快乐,他能做些什么吗?他会想做点什么吗?到底什么是艺术,除了抗议生活中可怕的严酷之外?
You have a number of choices. You could continue to always fight against people who are really distractions. They're people in the cheap seats of life. Or you can do what you went there to do.
你有很多选择。你可以继续和那些让你分心的人做斗争。他们是生活中地位低下的人。或者你可以做你去那里做的事情。
We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature, continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature.
我们未能保护科学不受自然的投机性扩展的影响,继续将物理和数学属性赋予超出自然可观测范围的假想实体。
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.
我可以原谅,但我不能忘记,只是另一种说法,我不会原谅。宽恕应该像一张作废的便条——撕成两半,烧掉,这样它就永远不会对一个人显现出来。
I was on the sideline with a knee injury and when I came back, I wanted to play at the best level I could. And that's the case for a lot of players, they want the chance to play against the best competition.
我在边线上膝盖受伤,当我回来的时候,我想要尽我所能踢出最好的水平。这是很多球员的情况,他们希望有机会与最好的对手比赛。
If you hear, day after day, liberals are rooting against armed forces, that is eventually going to have an effect on soldiers and troops who are actually going to believe that and it's wrong. It's just wrong.
如果你日复一日地听到,自由主义者在反对武装力量,这最终会对士兵产生影响,而士兵们实际上会相信这是错误的。这是错误的。
The theoretically unrestricted right to develop power, to wage war against other states, is antisocial and is doubly dangerous, because the state as a mass entity represents a low moral and intellectual level.
从理论上讲,不受限制地发展权力和对其他国家发动战争的权利是反社会的,而且是双重危险的,因为国家作为一个集体实体代表着低的道德和智力水平。
The Athletic Association competed against the University. So there was an event. You cannot break world records unless it is an established event, and you have three timekeepers, and the whole thing is organized.
体育协会与大学比赛。所以有一个事件。你不能打破世界纪录,除非它是一个既定的事件,你有三个计时员,而且整个事情是有组织的。
If he who employs coercion against me could mould me to his purposes by argument, no doubt he would. He pretends to punish me because his argument is strong; but he really punishes me because his argument is weak.
如果对我采取胁迫手段的人能通过辩论使我达到他的目的,毫无疑问,他会的。他假装要惩罚我,因为他的论据很充分;但他真的惩罚了我,因为他的论点站不住脚。
Leaf fans loyalty is unshakeable. The fans keep coming back and it hurts, I have been there. I have lost in game six to go to the finals with the Maple Leafs, against Carolina and what a great final that would have been.
叶迷的忠诚是不可动摇的。球迷们不断地回来,这让我很受伤,我也经历过。我在第六场比赛中输给了枫叶队,输给了卡罗莱纳队,这将是一场多么伟大的决赛啊!
Riding in advance, we passed over one of these great plains; we looked back and saw the line of scattered horsemen stretching for a mile or more; and far in the rear against the horizon, the white wagons creeping slowly along.
我们提前骑着马,越过了其中的一片大平原;我们回头一看,只见散乱的马队绵延一英里以上;在后面地平线的远处,白色的马车慢慢地爬行着。
I am against changing my body to become better. I am not against implants, I have a lot of girlfriends who have them, but the implants look good on them. I am never gonna get them, once I have kids they are gonna get bigger anyway.
我反对为了变得更好而改变我的身体。我不反对植入物,我有很多女朋友都做过,但是植入物看起来很好看。我永远都不会得到它们,一旦我有了孩子,它们无论如何都会变大。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
不加反抗地接受邪恶的人,实际上是在与邪恶合作。
Men seldom, or rather never for a length of time and deliberately, rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against.
人们很少,或者更确切地说,从来没有一段时间,故意反抗任何不值得反抗的东西。
Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us.
只有当理智对我们不利时,我们才不得不求助于嘲笑。
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
于是我们奋力向前划,逆流而上的小船,不停地倒退,回到过去。
The great defense against the air menace is to attack the enemy's aircraft as near as possible to their point of departure.
