A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
批评
Criticism
Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world - though the cant of hypocrites may be the worst - the cant of criticism is the most tormenting!
在这个伪善的世界上所有的伪善中——尽管伪君子的伪善可能是最糟糕的——批评的伪善是最折磨人的!
Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
批评可能不令人愉快，但却是必要的。它在人体中具有与疼痛相同的功能。它引起人们对不健康状态的关注。
There is one criticism which cannot be leveled at interparliamentary conferences but which is applicable to a great extent to peace congresses: the meetings waste time.
有一种批评不能在议会间会议上提出，但在很大程度上适用于和平会议:会议浪费时间。
I have the worst ear for criticism; even when I have created a stage set I like, I always hear the woman in the back of the dress circle who says she doesn't like blue.
我最不善于接受批评;即使当我创造了一个我喜欢的舞台布景，我总是听到在服装圈后面的女人说她不喜欢蓝色。
Men in authority will always think that criticism of their policies is dangerous. They will always equate their policies with patriotism, and find criticism subversive.
当权者总是认为批评他们的政策是危险的。他们总是把自己的政策等同于爱国主义，认为批评具有颠覆性。
Criticism is the windows and chandeliers of art: it illuminates the enveloping darkness in which art might otherwise rest only vaguely discernible, and perhaps altogether unseen.
批评是艺术的窗户和枝形吊灯:它照亮了笼罩着的黑暗，否则，艺术可能只能依依附合地停留在黑暗中，或许完全看不见。
You just never give up, no matter how hard the challenges are, and observe this world with a healthy dose of criticism and don't just follow the herd like somebody else might do.
你永远不会放弃，不管挑战有多难，用健康的批评来观察这个世界，不要像其他人那样随波逐流。
Fox News is nothing if not impressive. No matter how harsh the criticism it endures, the network somehow always manages to prove itself even worse than we had previously imagined.
福克斯新闻令人印象深刻。不管受到多么严厉的批评，这个网络总是设法证明自己比我们之前想象的还要糟糕。
I have been both praised and criticized. The criticism stung, but the praise sometimes bothered me even more. To have received such praise and honors has always been puzzling to me.
我受到了表扬和批评。批评刺痛了我，但赞扬有时更让我烦恼。得到这样的赞扬和荣誉，我一直感到困惑。
I find that the very things that I get criticized for, which is usually being different and just doing my own thing and just being original, is the very thing that's making me successful.
我发现我被批评的地方，通常是与众不同，做自己的事情，保持原创，正是这些让我成功的地方。
Few are there that will leave the secure seclusion of the scholar's life, the peaceful walks of literature and learning, to stand out a target for the criticism of unkind and hostile minds.
很少有人会离开学者安全的隐居生活，远离文坛和学术界的宁静，而成为不友善和敌对思想的批判对象。
I would rather be attacked than unnoticed. For the worst thing you can do to an author is to be silent as to his works. An assault upon a town is a bad thing; but starving it is still worse.
我宁愿被攻击也不愿被忽视。因为你对一个作家所能做的最糟糕的事就是对他的作品保持沉默。袭击一个城镇是件坏事;但挨饿更糟糕。

It's a healthy thing to get some bad criticism. I'm still here and I'm fine, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't get to you reading the negative stuff.
受到一些不好的批评是件好事。我还在这里，我很好，但如果我说你没有读到负面的东西，那我就是在说谎。
The most noble criticism is that in which the critic is not the antagonist so much as the rival of the author.
