A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
设计
Design
Some great people are leaders and others are more lucky, in the right place at the right time. I'd put myself in the latter category. But I'd never call myself a normal designer of anything.
一些伟大的人是领导者,而另一些人更幸运,在正确的时间,正确的地点。我把自己归入后一类。但我从来不称自己是任何东西的普通设计师。
I love clothes, but really I don't have that much to say about skirts. Before I was writing, I went to fashion shows only when the designer was a good friend and I was there to show support.
我喜欢衣服,但是我对裙子没什么可说的。在我写作之前,只有当设计师是我的好朋友,我在那里表示支持时,我才会去看时装秀。
Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him.
许多人相信——我也相信——我是上帝派来做这项工作的。尽管我老了,我不想放弃它;我出于对上帝的爱而工作,我把所有的希望都寄托在他身上。
We started getting the script to different people and we were in the business of trying to fund it so we could get it off and running, and all the characters and sets designed and everything.
我们开始把剧本发给不同的人,我们的业务是设法为剧本筹集资金,这样我们就可以把剧本拿出来投入运营,所有的角色和布景都设计好了。
Every true man is a cause, a country, and an age; requires infinite spaces and numbers and time fully to accomplish his design; - and posterity seem to follow his steps as a train of clients.
每一个真正的人都是一个事业,一个国家,一个时代;完成他的设计需要无限的空间、数量和时间;-而他的子孙后代似乎追随他的脚步,成为他的客户。
Public schools were designed as the great equalizers of our society - the place where all children could have access to educational opportunities to make something of themselves in adulthood.
公立学校被设计成我们社会的伟大均衡器——在那里所有的孩子都可以获得教育机会,在成年后有所成就。
There's this very vulnerable planet of ours with finite resources. Architects and designers have, I think, a fair responsibility for conserving energy and materials, and making things durable.
我们的星球非常脆弱,资源有限。我认为,建筑师和设计师有责任节约能源和材料,让东西更耐用。
I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars.
我无法说服自己,一个仁慈的、无所不能的上帝会故意创造寄生蜂,目的是让它们在毛虫的活体中进食。
I guess you can stay sort of true to the story; you don't have to artificially bring the character back from whatever doom you've designed for them, you can tell the story, I suppose, honestly.
我猜你可以忠于这个故事;你不需要人为地将角色从你为他们设计的厄运中拉回来,我想,你可以诚实地讲述这个故事。
Courtrooms contain every symbol of authority that a set designer could imagine. Everyone stands up when you come in. You wear a costume identifying you as, if not quite divine, someone special.
法庭包含了布景设计师所能想象到的所有权威象征。当你进来时,每个人都站起来。你穿着一套服装,表明你是一个特殊的人,即使不是很神圣。
Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers.
衣服和珠宝应该是令人吃惊的,有个性的。当你看到一个穿着我衣服的女人,你会想要更多地了解她们。对我来说,这就是优秀设计师和糟糕设计师的区别。
The problem with the designated driver programme, it's not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At then end of the night drop them off at the wrong house.
指定司机项目的问题是,这不是一个理想的工作。但如果你曾经沉迷其中,那就尽情享受吧。然后晚上把他们送到错误的房子。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
In both business and personal life, I've always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do. Evidence of the languages, cultures, scenery, food, and design sensibilities that I discover all over the world can be found in every piece of my jewelry.
在商业和个人生活中,我总是发现旅行比我做的任何事情都更能激励我。我在世界各地发现的语言、文化、风景、食物和设计感都可以在我的每一件首饰中找到证据。
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。
I'm open comin up inside you know my mind has got a grand design and I'm flowin, goin all the way I make my point to be everyday come on.
我的内心是开放的,你知道我的思想有一个宏伟的设计,我在流动,在所有的路上,我让我的观点是每天来吧。
I trained as a designer, so I'm always terribly keen about what I'm going to look like.
我接受过设计师的培训,所以我总是对自己的未来充满热情。
Looking back, video game design seems a natural fit, although there was no such thing when I was growing up. I built a Tic-Tac-Toe playing machine in my teens which went up in smoke on the night it was scheduled to go to a science fair.
回顾过去,电子游戏设计似乎是一种自然的契合,尽管在我的成长过程中并没有这样的东西。我在十几岁的时候造了一个井字游戏机,计划去参加一个科学展览的那天晚上,它就冒烟了。
Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.
虽然我的设计作品在形式上和视觉上对我的艺术作品有很大的影响,但是在意义和内容上,这两种做法是分开的。
