A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
一天
Day
I don't see how anybody cannot be political in this day and age. There's so much going on and you have to be aware and you have to vote. Our lives are political.
我看不出在这个时代,有谁不可能不关心政治。有很多事情要做,你必须意识到,你必须投票。我们的生活是政治性的。
My wife is always trying to get rid of me. The other day she told me to put the garbage out. I said to her I already did. She told me to go and keep an eye on it.
我妻子总是想摆脱我。有一天她叫我把垃圾拿出去。我对她说我已经这么做了。她叫我去看一看。
I try to manage my day by my circadian rhythms because the creativity is such an elusive thing, and I could easily just stomp over it doing my administrative stuff.
我试着用我的昼夜节律来管理我的一天,因为创造力是如此难以捉摸的东西,我可以很容易地踩着它做我的管理工作。
The events of the day's march are now becoming so dreary and dispiriting that one longs to forget them when we camp; it is an effort even to record them in a diary.
白天行军所发生的事情现在变得那么沉闷和令人沮丧,以致我们在宿营时恨不得把它们忘掉;把它们记在日记里也是一种努力。
In this world of doubt, one thing is certain for me; that I will go on writing songs up to and - I hope, through heavenly means or diabolical - beyond the day I die.

Every day each of us wakes up, reaches into drawers and closets, pulls out a costume for the day and proceeds to dress in a style that can only be called preposterous.
每天我们每个人醒来,把手伸进抽屉和壁橱里,拿出当天要穿的衣服,然后开始穿那种只能被称为荒谬的风格。
Every day, people settle for less than they deserve. They are only partially living or at best living a partial life. Every human being has the potential for greatness.
每一天,人们都满足于低于他们应得的。他们只是部分地活着,或者至多是部分地活着。每个人都有成为伟人的潜力。
The return from cows and sheep in cheese is worth much money every day in the season, without calves and lambs, and without the manure, which all return corn and fruit.

Nothing good bursts forth all at once. The lightning may dart out of a black cloud; but the day sends his bright heralds before him, to prepare the world for his coming.
没有什么好东西是突然冒出来的。闪电可以从乌云中射出;但这一天却把祂光明的使者送到祂面前,使世界为祂的来临做好准备。
You realize that however much you don't think about death - or think that's for other people - you're just an organism living from day to day. I'm just grateful I'm here.
你意识到,不管你怎么不去想死亡——或者不去想别人的死亡——你只是一个日复一日生活的有机体。我很感激我在这里。
To believe that patriotism will not flourish if patriotic ceremonies are voluntary... is to make an unflattering estimate of the appeal of our institutions to free minds.
相信如果爱国仪式是自愿的,爱国主义就不会兴旺发达……是对我们的制度对自由思想的吸引力做出一个不讨好的估计。
Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it.
看看有一天,你最终会非常满意。这不是你无所事事的一天;当你有了所有的事情要做的时候,你就去做。
KEEP EXPLORING

真的没有哪一天,当我醒来时,我不需要去任何地方。

A single day is enough to make us a little larger or, another time, a little smaller.
每一天都足以让我们变得更强大,或者,再来一次,变得更渺小。

你听说了吗,赢得今天是件好事?我还说,失败是件好事,因为在胜利的同时,战斗也以同样的精神失败了。
I play piano every day.
我每天都弹钢琴。
