A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
一天
Day
That is, we are bombarded by all kinds of images and influences and we have to fend some of them off if we're to take in any of them, or to carry through just our ordinary day's work, or really deepen whatever we have to do or say.
也就是说,我们被各种各样的图像和影响所轰炸,如果我们想要接受其中的任何一个,或者只是进行我们日常的工作,或者真正深化我们必须做或说的任何事情,我们就必须避开其中的一些。
Don't show off every day, or you'll stop surprising people. There must always be some novelty left over. The person who displays a little more of it each day keeps up expectations, and no one ever discovers the limits of his talent.
不要每天都炫耀自己,否则你就不会再给别人惊喜了。一定会留下一些新奇的东西。每天多表现一点的人会保持期望,没有人会发现他才能的极限。
That is why one day I said my game will be like the Pythagorean Theorem - hard to figure out. A lot of people really don't know the Pythagorean Theory. They don't make them like me anymore. They don't want to make them like that anymore.
这就是为什么有一天我说我的游戏会像勾股定理一样——很难算出来。很多人都不知道勾股定理。他们不再喜欢我了。他们不想再那样做了。
You dream about the Olympics for so long and you have that one day, then it's over, and when you don't run well there is this huge letdown. It took me years to deal with that. I feel like I almost had to cleanse myself of that experience.
你梦想奥运会这么长时间,你有那么一天,然后它结束了,当你跑得不好,这是一个巨大的失望。我花了几年的时间来处理这个问题。我觉得我几乎要净化自己的经历。
I watch too much cable, I admit. Day after day it gets frustrating. Yesterday I watched as someone called legislation to prevent teacher layoffs a bailout - but I know that's not a view held by many, nor were the views I was frustrated about.
我承认我看电视太多了。日复一日,它变得令人沮丧。昨天,我看到有人把防止教师裁员的立法称为救市计划,但我知道很多人都不这么认为,我也不为这些观点感到沮丧。
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
领导力就是解决问题。当士兵不再把他们的问题带给你的时候,就是你不再领导他们的时候。他们要么对你的帮助失去信心,要么认为你不在乎。这两种情况都是领导力的失败。
And what makes me happy now has changed as well... Its one thing to play in a bar or at a biker festival, and hear a guy who's been drinking beer all day come up and tell you how good you are. For a long time in your life that will make you happy.
现在让我快乐的也改变了……在酒吧或摩托车节上玩耍,听到一个整天喝啤酒的家伙走过来告诉你你有多棒,这是一回事。在你的生命中很长一段时间,那会使你快乐。
My perfect day is constantly changing. Right now, it would be to lie around in a hammock reading with a portable phone and a table of food next to it. I would spend all day there. And that's all that I can possibly come up with on the spur of the moment.
我完美的一天是不断变化的。现在,它将是躺在吊床上阅读,旁边有一个便携式电话和一桌食物。我会在那里呆上一整天。这就是我一时兴起能想到的。
Looking back now, thinking about that moment in the lights, with my heart pounding, Oscar in my hand, all I can say is I am grateful and humbled - still to this day. Next to marrying my husband and the birth of my children, it is one of the best days ever.
现在回想起来,想起那一刻在灯光下,我的心怦怦直跳,奥斯卡就在我的手中,我所能说的就是我很感激,也很谦卑——直到今天。除了嫁给我的丈夫和生下我的孩子,这是我一生中最美好的日子之一。
I'm really happy that I got to work with such fresh talent. In a day when record companies are not particularly good at encouraging young, talented songwriters to come forward and get exposure, I think it's important to give tomorrow's songwriters the opportunity.
我很高兴能和这么有天赋的人一起工作。如今,唱片公司并不特别擅长鼓励年轻、有才华的作词人站出来获得曝光,我认为给未来的作词人机会很重要。
When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith.
当与你内心深处的信念背道而驰的原则开始赢得胜利的那一天,那么战斗就是你的使命,和平已成为罪恶。你必须以最宝贵的和平为代价,用你全部的信心之火,把你的信念暴露在朋友和敌人面前。
The day when a sportsman stops thinking above all else of the happiness in his own effort and the intoxication of the power and physical balance he derives from it, the day when he lets considerations of vanity or interest take over, on this day his ideal will die.
当一个运动员不再把自己的努力所带来的快乐放在首位,不再陶醉于从中获得的力量和身体平衡时,当他让虚荣心或兴趣占据主导地位时,他的理想就会在这一天破灭。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise.
当孩子意识到所有成年人都是不完美的时候,他就成了青少年;当他原谅他们的那一天,他就成了一个成年人;当他原谅自己的那一天,他就会变得聪明。
I'm pretty darn happy with my day job.
我对我的日常工作非常满意。
Sometimes it feels like my life is just one long day.
有时候我觉得我的生命只是漫长的一天。
I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.
我每天都锻炼身体。我需要的是有耐力去做需要做的事,而不是受伤。现在我对动作明星有了新的敬意。
Maintaining our standard; that's our challenge day-in and day-out.
保持我们的标准;这是我们日复一日的挑战。
A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day.
有人说,一句话说出来就是死的。我说那一天才刚刚开始。
