A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
设计
Design
We should always look upon ourselves as God's servants, placed in God's world, to do his work; and accordingly labour faithfully for him; not with a design to grow rich and great, but to glorify God, and do all the good we possibly can.
我们应该把自己看作是上帝的仆人,被安置在上帝的世界里,去做上帝的工作;所以要为他忠心的作工。我们不是故意要富足为大,乃是要荣耀神,凡事行善。
Once you understand this way, you will be able to make your room alive; you will be able to design a house together with your family; a garden for your children; places where you can work; beautiful terraces where you can sit and dream.

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。
On the speech day, the production designer, who has a lot of say in things, and sometimes I didn't agree with him but I had to do what I was told, wanted the speech day to be all in neutral colours for the women, which was a good thing.

I wonder why there is a designated hitter in baseball after all these years? As an experiment, it seemed like a swell enough idea, but you would think the novelty would have worn off by now and everyone would get back to playing baseball.
我想知道为什么这么多年后棒球界还有一个指定的击球手?作为一个实验,这似乎是一个非常棒的想法,但你可能会认为这种新奇感现在已经消失了,每个人都会重新开始打棒球。
It is characteristic of the design of scientific research that exquisite attention is devoted to methodological problems that can be solved, while the pretense is made that the ones that cannot be solved are really nothing to worry about.
科学研究设计的特点是,对可以解决的方法论问题给予细致的关注,而对不能解决的问题却假装根本不用担心。
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.

When you have a gown, there's much more to be concerned about. Where is this crease falling? Are you making a weird shape with the dress? Are you doing the designer justice? With a bathing suit, it's more about you and the mood you convey.
当你有了一件礼服,就有更多的事情需要关注。这条折痕在哪里?你是不是把裙子弄成一个奇怪的形状?你对设计师的评价合理吗?有了泳衣,更多的是关于你和你传达的情绪。

我把我的风格哑剧设计成黑色背景上的白色水墨画,让人的命运像一根迷失在无尽迷宫中的线。我曾试着在一个被痛苦惊吓的人的阴影上投下一些亮光。
The idea of death, the fear of it, haunts the human animal like nothing else; it is a mainspring of human activity - designed largely to avoid the fatality of death, to overcome it by denying in some way that it is the final destiny of man.

You go down some street - no doubt it's there, and we have to do something about it, and our programmes are designed to do that - but if that's a picture of Newcastle, it's not the one I recognise and I bet none in the North East do either.
你沿着某条街走下去——毫无疑问它就在那里,我们必须对此做些什么,我们的节目就是为此而设计的——但如果那是一张纽卡斯尔的照片,那它就不是我所认识的那张,我打赌东北地区也没有。

Gaming in general is a male thing. It isn't that gaming is designed to exclude women. Everybody who's tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. And I think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women.
