A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
设计
Design
Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for everyone in a civilized society.
我们的指导原则是，设计既不是智力问题，也不是物质问题，它只是生活中不可或缺的一部分，是文明社会中每个人都必须具备的。
Everyone by now presumably knows about the danger of premature optimization. I think we should be just as worried about premature design - designing too early what a program should do.
到目前为止，想必每个人都知道过早优化的危险。我认为我们也应该担心过早的设计——过早地设计一个程序应该做什么。
Designers need to be mavericks, because the best way to design a successful object is to pretend that either it never existed or that people will be able to have a new behavior with it.
设计师需要标新立异，因为设计一个成功的对象的最好方法是假装它从未存在过，或者人们将能够对它有一个新的行为。
I would point out that the cultural advance of these people has been suppressed in the past and continues to be suppressed in the present by policies designed to keep them in ignorance.
我要指出的是，这些人的文化进步在过去受到了压制，而且在今天继续受到旨在使他们保持无知的政策的压制。
Death is not defeat, Tool told himself. We all die. Every one of us. Rip and Blade and Fear and all the rest. We all die. So what if you are the last? You were designed to be destroyed.
死亡不是失败，工具告诉自己。我们都死。我们每个人。撕裂，刀锋，恐惧等等。我们都死。如果你是最后一个呢?你是被设计来毁灭的。
My studio cube is an experiment in solar heating and design. The south wall is covered with glass planks that collect and distribute heat naturally to my work studio on the second level.
我的工作室立方体是一个太阳能加热和设计的实验。南墙上覆盖着玻璃板，可以自然地收集和散发热量到二楼我的工作室。
I think that fashion has become such a big business and with globalization we are on new territory at this point. We are not just designing for a country we are designing for a world now.
我认为，时尚已经成为一个如此大的行业，随着全球化，我们在这一点上处于新的领域。我们不仅仅是为一个国家设计，而是为一个世界设计。
In most people's vocabularies, design means veneer. It's interior decorating. It's the fabric of the curtains and the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design.
在大多数人的词汇中，设计意味着单板。室内装饰。它是窗帘和沙发的布料。但是对我来说，没有什么比设计的意义更重要的了。
Some give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before.
有些人在接近目标时就放弃了他们的计划;而另一些人则恰恰相反，他们在最后一刻比以往任何时候都更加努力地争取胜利。
I am finally getting the chance to build large structures and break preconceptions that my designs are just sculptures for people to be in. But my work always comes down to the human scale.
我终于有机会建造大型建筑，打破人们对我的设计只是雕塑的成见。但我的工作总是以人为本。
I don't even drink! I can't stand the taste of alcohol. Every New Year's Eve I try one drink and every time it makes me feel sick. So I don't touch booze - I'm always the designated driver.
我甚至不喝酒!我不能忍受酒精的味道。每年除夕我都要喝一杯，每次都觉得恶心。所以我不沾酒——我一直是指定司机。
A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.
一个好的科学家是有独到见解的人。一个好的工程师是一个人，他所做的设计尽量少用原创的想法。工程界没有杰出的学者。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
You all know that each title in the Chronicles has a chess theme; that's partly because of the overall design of the Chronicles themselves - the game of chess as an analogue of the game of life.
你们都知道历代志上的每个题目都有一个象棋主题;部分原因是编年史本身的整体设计——象棋游戏是对生活游戏的一种模拟。

我对音乐的热情一直激励着我的设计。
When we were in the design studio I always was pretending like I was in a closet asking my friend before I step out into the world what do I look like? And everybody wants that honest friend before they go and go to dinner or go to an event.
当我们在设计工作室的时候，我总是假装自己在壁橱里问我的朋友，在我踏入这个世界之前，我长什么样?每个人都希望在去吃饭或参加活动之前有一个诚实的朋友。

I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.
我没有指导我的生活。不是我设计的。我从不做决定。事情总是为我而生。这就是生活。
It's a very strange thing for a designer to say, but one of the things that really irritates me in products is when I'm aware of designers wagging their tails in my face.
对于一个设计师来说，这是一件很奇怪的事情，但是当我意识到设计师在我面前摆尾巴的时候，产品中真正让我恼火的事情之一。
