A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
批评
Criticism
The factor in human life provocative of a noble discontent is the gradual emergence of a sense of criticism, founded upon appreciation of beauty, and of intellectual distinction, and of duty.
人类生活中激发高尚不满的因素是一种批判意识的逐渐出现，这种批判意识建立在对美的欣赏、对知识的区分和对责任的理解之上。
A true critic ought to dwell upon excellencies rather than imperfections, to discover the concealed beauties of a writer, and communicate to the world such things as are worth their observation.
一个真正的评论家应该专注于优点而不是缺点，去发现一个作家隐藏的美，并向世界传达那些值得他们观察的东西。
Neither praise or blame is the object of true criticism. Justly to discriminate, firmly to establish, wisely to prescribe, and honestly to award. These are the true aims and duties of criticism.
赞扬和责备都不是真正批评的对象。公正的区别对待，坚定的建立，明智的规定，诚实的奖励。这些才是批评的真正目的和职责。
When your results are good, you are obviously going to have a lot of press. And when you start to falter a little bit, you are going to have some criticism, and there is nothing abnormal in that.
当你的结果很好，你显然会有很多压力。当你开始动摇的时候，你会受到一些批评，这没有什么不正常的。
Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.
奉承我一下，我也许就不相信你了。批评我，我可能不喜欢你。不理我，我可能不会原谅你。鼓励我，我就不会忘记你。如果你爱我，我也会被迫爱你。
I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.
无论我做什么或说什么，我都没有权利在一个人的眼里贬低他。重要的不是我对他的看法;这是他对自己的看法。破坏一个人的自尊是一种罪过。
So as an amateur Olympic competitor I loved criticism, because it made me better. But now as a professional I don't really know how to channel it or where to take it, so I don't take it quite as well.
所以作为一名业余奥运选手，我喜欢批评，因为它让我变得更好。但现在作为一名专业人士，我真的不知道该如何引导它，也不知道该把它带到哪里去，所以我不太擅长。
My criticism is too severe sometimes and that is not good. But why don't you start doing your work unless your leader flies into a rage? It is not that you cannot do it but that you don't want to do it.
我的批评有时太严厉了，这是不好的。但是，除非你的领导大发雷霆，否则你为什么不开始工作呢?不是你做不到，而是你不想做。
I think that my main criticism in that book was directed at the general assumption that adaptation characterizes populations and species, rather than simply the individuals in the populations and species.
我认为我在那本书中的主要批评是针对一个普遍的假设，即适应性是种群和物种的特征，而不仅仅是种群和物种中的个体。
There are two kinds of power you have to fight. The first is the money, and that's just our system. The other is the people close around you, knowing when to accept their criticism, knowing when to say no.
你必须对抗两种力量。首先是钱，这只是我们的制度。另一种是你身边的人，知道什么时候接受他们的批评，知道什么时候说不。
The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood. This is part of the penalty for greatness, and every man understands, too, that it is no proof of greatness.
一个人，无论他是什么人，无论他做什么事，肯定会受到批评、诋毁和误解。这是对伟大的惩罚的一部分，每个人也都明白，这不是伟大的证明。
According to my principles, every master has his true and certain value. Praise and criticism cannot change any of that. Only the work itself praises and criticizes the master, and therefore I leave to everyone his own value.
根据我的原则，每一位大师都有他真实而确定的价值。表扬和批评都不能改变这一点。只有作品本身赞扬和批评大师，所以我把他自己的价值留给每个人。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Criticism is prejudice made plausible.
批评使偏见成为可能。
To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.
为了避免批评，什么也不做，什么也不说，什么也不做。
Pity the leader caught between unloving critics and uncritical lovers.
可怜的领导人夹在无情的批评家和无情的爱人之间。
If critics have problems with my personal life, it's their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it's the charts that count.
如果评论家对我的私生活有意见，那是他们的意见。任何有半个大脑的人都会意识到，图表才是最重要的。
In the arts, the critic is the only independent source of information. The rest is advertising.
在艺术领域，批评家是唯一独立的信息来源。剩下的就是广告。
Art is parasitic on life, just as criticism is parasitic on art.
艺术寄生于生活，正如批评寄生于艺术。
