A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
危机
Crisis
Argentine political life is like the life of an ant community or an African forest tribe: full of events, full of crisis and deaths, but life is always cyclical, and the year ends as it begins.
阿根廷的政治生活就像蚂蚁群落或非洲森林部落的生活:充满事件,充满危机和死亡,但生活总是循环往复的,一年到头都是这样。
I wouldn't go back on my old days, though; everybody needs to have their wild years. It's just a question of when and I'd rather have had them early than be doing it as a mid-life crisis type thing.
不过,我不会回到过去;每个人都需要狂野的岁月。这只是一个时间的问题,我宁愿早点吃,也不愿把它当作中年危机一类的事情来做。
The crisis and recession have led to very low interest rates, it is true, but these events have also destroyed jobs, hamstrung economic growth and led to sharp declines in the values of many homes and businesses.

In times of life crisis, whether wild fires or smoldering stress, the first thing I do is go back to basics... am I eating right, am I getting enough sleep, am I getting some physical and mental exercise everyday.

But when I lose my temper, I find it difficult to forgive myself. I feel I've failed. I can be calm in a crisis, in the face of death or things that hurt badly. I don't get hysterical, which may be masochistic of me.
但是当我发脾气时,我发现很难原谅自己。我觉得我失败了。我可以在危机中保持冷静,面对死亡或伤害严重的事情。我不会歇斯底里,这可能是我的受虐狂。
When I was very young I was sort of floored by the fact that my mother and my father and everyone I knew was going to die one day, and myself too. I had a sort of a philosophical crisis. I couldn't believe that we were mortal.

The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.

See, what you're meant to do when you have a mid-life crisis is buy a fast car, aren't you? Well, I've always had fast cars. It's not that. It's the fear that you're past your best. It's the fear that the stuff you've done in the past is your best work.
你看,当你遇到中年危机时,你应该做的就是买一辆跑车,不是吗?嗯,我一直有跑车。这并不是说。而是害怕你已经超越了最好的自己。而是害怕你过去做过的事情是你最好的工作。

Our state is in crisis. Our people are hurting. Now is the time when we all must resist the traditional, selfish call to protect your own turf at the cost of our state. It is time to leave the corner, join the sacrifice, come to the center of the room and be part of the solution.
我们的国家正处于危机之中。我们的人民正在遭受痛苦。现在是我们所有人都必须抵制以国家为代价保护自己地盘的传统自私呼声的时候了。是时候离开角落,加入牺牲,来到房间的中心,成为解决方案的一部分。
