A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
抑郁症
Depression
I just think my body can't handle it any more. I did try a little drink a while back, and I was actually physically ill. I went into an immediate depression, and felt awful, just dreadful. So that's it. I'm over it now.
我只是觉得我的身体受不了了。我之前试着喝了点酒,结果我真的病了。我立刻陷入了一种沮丧的状态,感觉很糟,糟透了。这就是它。我已经结束了。
I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my agony.
我认为抑郁是我性格中让我有价值的一部分。我对自己想得很少,觉得自己没有什么东西可以奉献给这个世界,只有一件事证明我的存在是正确的,那就是我的痛苦。
It's like you asked me about the depression thing: you grope towards an understanding of whatever it is your going through, and it's not personal, there are forces in play around you, and you seek to understand them and that way you can go on.
就像你问我关于抑郁症的事情:你摸索着去理解你所经历的一切,这不是针对你个人的,你周围有各种力量在起作用,你试图去理解它们,这样你就能继续下去。
That's the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end. The fog is like a cage without a key.
这就是抑郁症的原因:一个人几乎可以在任何事情上生存,只要她看到末日就在眼前。但抑郁症是如此的潜伏,它每天都在加剧,根本不可能看到它的尽头。雾就像一个没有钥匙的笼子。
Joining another big time rock band was the last thing I was looking for, but as the tour went on, I really dug playing to a lot of people, the band sounded great, and just being out there again, got me over my depression and so I decided to hop on board.
加入另一个摇滚乐队是我正在寻找的最后一件事,但随着旅游了,我真的挖了很多人,玩乐队听起来不错,就再次被外面,让我在我的抑郁,所以我决定跳。
Sometimes I think that I was forced to withdraw into depression because it was the only rightful protest I could throw in the face of a world that said it was alright for people to come and go as they please, that there were simply no real obligations left.
有时我觉得我被迫退回到抑郁中去,因为这是我唯一可以向这个世界提出的合理抗议,这个世界说,人们可以随心所欲地来去自如,根本没有什么真正的义务留下。
The other thing is that if you rely solely on medication to manage depression or anxiety, for example, you have done nothing to train the mind, so that when you come off the medication, you are just as vulnerable to a relapse as though you had never taken the medication.
另一件事是,如果你仅仅依靠药物来控制抑郁或焦虑,例如,你没有做任何事情来训练大脑,所以当你停止用药时,你很容易复发,就像你从未服用过药物一样。
Because its hard to realize now that that was the end of the great depression, you know. All of a sudden all of this is in front of me and I'm solvent, you know. I'm making some money and I know where my next meal is coming from, and I have a new pair of shoes and that's it.
因为现在很难意识到那就是大萧条的结束。突然间,这一切都摆在我面前,我有偿还能力了。我赚了一些钱,我知道下一顿饭从哪里来,我有一双新鞋,就是这样。
I think one of the lessons of the Depression - and this is something that Franklin Roosevelt demonstrated - was that when orthodoxy fails, then you need to try new things. And he was very willing to try unorthodox approaches when the orthodox approach had shown that it was not adequate.
我认为,大萧条的教训之一——富兰克林•罗斯福也证明了这一点——就是当正统观念失败时,你需要尝试新事物。他非常愿意尝试非正统的方法,当正统的方法已经证明是不够的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Mysteriously and in ways that are totally remote from natural experience, the gray drizzle of horror induced by depression takes on the quality of physical pain.
令人费解的是,在完全远离自然体验的情况下,由抑郁引起的灰色恐怖细雨呈现出身体疼痛的性质。
There are no windows within the dark house of depression through which to see others, only mirrors.
在黑暗压抑的房子里,没有窗户可以看到别人,只有镜子。

我就是你所说的抑郁水手。
That terrible mood of depression of whether it's any good or not is what is known as The Artist's Reward.
无论好坏,那种可怕的沮丧情绪就是我们所知的艺术家的奖赏。
I'm happy, I would say that I'm one of the happiest people I know but I've certainly had periods of profound sadness, depression and heartache and those are the kind of things that are interesting to me to write about.
我很快乐,我想说我是我所认识的最快乐的人之一,但我确实有过极度悲伤、抑郁和心痛的时期,这些对我来说都是有趣的事情。
If you suffer from depression, anything that makes you feel has to the most important thing in your life, because it's the only thing that can save you.
如果你患有抑郁症,任何让你感到痛苦的事情都是你生命中最重要的事情,因为这是唯一能拯救你的事情。
