A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
设计
Design
Design can never be an ultimate explanation for anything. It can only be a proximate explanation. A plane or a car is explained by a designer but that's because the designer himself, the engineer, is explained by natural selection.
设计永远不可能是对任何事情的最终解释。这只能是一个近似的解释。飞机或汽车是由设计师来解释的，但那是因为设计师本身，即工程师，是由自然选择来解释的。
You don't even have to leave your house: you do your work from your house; you can order anything you want from your house; you don't have to leave your chair. Everything's been designed so that you never leave your computer chair.
你甚至不需要离开你的房子:你在家里做你的工作;你可以从家里订购任何你想要的东西;你不必离开你的椅子。所有的东西都经过精心设计，让你永远不会离开电脑椅。
Markets are designed to allow individuals to look after their private needs and to pursue profit. It's really a great invention and I wouldn't under-estimate the value of that, but they're not designed to take care of social needs.
市场的设计是为了让个人照顾他们的私人需求和追求利润。这确实是一个伟大的发明，我不会低估它的价值，但它们并不是为了满足社会需求而设计的。
Cycling keeps me lean and I need to stay in shape, especially as I still like eating chocolate and ice-cream! I like to go mountain biking too. Running is also good; it's what we were designed to do as humans, so it comes naturally.
骑自行车使我保持苗条，我需要保持体形，尤其是因为我仍然喜欢吃巧克力和冰淇淋!我也喜欢骑山地自行车。跑步也不错;这是我们作为人类的本性，所以这是自然而然的。
I've wanted to design golf courses ever since I was a kid. I suppose it comes from the way I've played the game. To find the proper way to play any hole, I've always begun by asking myself what the architect has tried to do with it.
我从小就想设计高尔夫球场。我想这是由于我打球的方式。为了找到打洞的正确方法，我总是先问自己建筑师是怎么做的。
I actually started as a model builder and quickly progressed into production design, which made sense because I could draw and paint. But I kept watching that guy over there who was moving the actors around and setting up the shots.
实际上，我从一个模型构建者开始，很快就进入了生产设计阶段，这很有意义，因为我可以画画。但是我一直在看那边那个家伙，他在调动演员，安排镜头。
A man from a primitive culture who sees an automobile might guess that it was powered by the wind or by an antelope hidden under the car, but when he opens up the hood and sees the engine he immediately realizes that it was designed.
一个来自原始文化的人看到一辆汽车可能会猜测它是由风或藏在汽车下面的羚羊提供动力，但当他打开引擎盖看到发动机时，他立刻意识到这是设计好的。
Of all the toys available, none is better designed than the owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it makes a sound when you jump on it.
在所有可用的玩具中，没有一件比主人自己设计得更好。一种大型多功能玩具，它的部件几乎可以向任何方向移动。它是完全组装好的，当你跳上去的时候，它会发出声音。
I had business experience. I had made my living designing and building electronic equipment. Basic business was not new to me, but the music business was completely new to me. I knew nothing about distribution, or any of those things.
我有商业经验。我以设计和制造电子设备为生。基础业务对我来说并不新鲜，但音乐业务对我来说却是全新的。我对分布一无所知。
You can have information and ease of use and have artistic integrity at the same time. The art of being a good Web designer is getting yourself into that middle ground and treating it as a final destination instead of as a compromise.
你可以同时拥有信息、易用性和艺术完整性。成为一名优秀的网页设计师的艺术就是把自己置身于中间地带，并把它当作最终的目标，而不是妥协。
Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.
设计是把形式和内容放在一起的方法。设计和艺术一样，有多种定义;没有单一的定义。设计可以是艺术。设计可以是美学。设计如此简单，这就是为什么它如此复杂。
Meanwhile, my residence within the Federal lines, and my acquaintance with so many of the officers, the origin of which I have already mentioned, enabled me to gain much important information as to the position and designs of the enemy.
与此同时，我住在联邦军的驻地，又认识许多军官，我前面已经提到过这些军官的出身，使我获得了许多关于敌人的阵地和计划的重要情报。
KEEP EXPLORING

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。
A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.

Truth, however bitter, can be accepted, and woven into a design for living.
