A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
设计
Design
Every step and every movement of the multitude, even in what are termed enlightened ages, are made with equal blindness to the future; and nations stumble upon establishments, which are indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design.
群众的每一步每一个动作，即使在所谓开明的时代，对未来也同样是盲目的;国家偶然发现了制度，这确实是人类行为的结果，但不是人类设计的结果。
I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I'm a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.
我是一名时装设计师。我不是环保主义者。当我早上起床的时候，首先我是一个母亲和妻子，其次我设计衣服。所以我要做的主要事情就是为我的顾客创造，希望是精致漂亮，令人满意的东西。
Any ordinary favor we do for someone or any compassionate reaching out may seem to be going nowhere at first, but may be planting a seed we can't see right now. Sometimes we need to just do the best we can and then trust in an unfolding we can't design or ordain.
我们为别人做的任何普通的帮助，或任何富有同情心的伸出援手，一开始似乎都不会有什么结果，但可能正在播下一颗我们现在看不到的种子。有时候，我们需要做的只是尽我们所能，然后相信一个我们无法设计或注定的展开。
If I was designing a web site for elementary school children, I might have a much higher percentage of older computers with outdated browsers since keeping up with browser and hardware technology has not traditionally been a strong point of most elementary schools.
如果我在为小学生设计一个网站，我可能会有更高比例的老式电脑使用过时的浏览器，因为跟上浏览器和硬件技术并不是大多数小学的强项。
I spend my afternoons painting and working on my Open Hearts jewelry line for Kay Jewelers. I designed an image of a heart that isn't completely closed. My mom always told me to live with an open heart - when life gets tough, you should go out and help someone else.
我用我的下午绘画和工作，我的开放的心珠宝行凯珠宝商。我设计了一幅心脏没有完全闭合的图像。我妈妈总是告诉我要心胸开阔地生活——当生活变得艰难时，你应该出去帮助别人。
It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet, I was really into costumes and the arts, and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.
我对自己更感兴趣。当我去看姐姐跳芭蕾的时候，我真的很喜欢服装和艺术，我的家人也支持我和姐姐想做的任何事情。我会说，我对设计的投入最大。
On the other hand, the waging of peace as a science, as an art, is in its infancy. But we can trace its growth, its steady progress, and the time will come when there will be particular individuals designated to assume responsibility for and leadership of this movement.
另一方面，和平作为一门科学、一门艺术的实现还处于起步阶段。但是，我们可以追溯它的成长，它的稳步进步，总有一天会有特定的个人被指定为这场运动的负责人和领导者。
The two designs are completely different. The first is totally futuristic, the second is more classical. You can of course get very excited about doing something completely out of the ordinary, just like the Olympic stadium in its time. But each to his or her own taste.
这两种设计完全不同。第一个完全是未来主义的，第二个更经典。你当然可以对做一些完全不同寻常的事情感到非常兴奋，就像当时的奥林匹克体育场一样。但每个人都有自己的口味。
I think that we could be more careful about what we're saying to young women in terms of their expectations. It's unrealistic to expect people to always be in designer clothes. Girls growing up deserve more freedom in how they look and how they feel about how they look.
我认为我们应该更谨慎地对待我们对年轻女性的期望。期望人们总是穿着名牌服装是不现实的。女孩在成长过程中应该拥有更多的自由，在她们的外表和她们对自己外表的感觉方面。
The apparent pointlessness of fashion may be just what makes it so strong as a zeitgeist sensor. Even I, a designer, do not know why a certain proportion feels dated or why another one feels exciting at a given moment. I leave that to the cultural historians and theorists.
时尚明显的无意义也许正是它作为时代精神传感器如此强大的原因。即使是我，一个设计师，也不知道为什么一定比例的人觉得过时，或者为什么另一个人在某一特定时刻感到兴奋。我把这个问题留给文化历史学家和理论家。
Internet safety begins at home and that is why my legislation would require the Federal Trade Commission to design and publish a unique website to serve as a clearinghouse and resource for parents, teachers and children for information on the dangers of surfing the Internet.
互联网安全始于家庭，这就是为什么我的立法将要求联邦贸易委员会设计并发布一个独特的网站，作为家长、教师和儿童了解互联网危险信息的交流中心和资源。
It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.
我们不应该担心肉体的终结。相反，我们所关心的必须是活在当下——把我们内在的自我从精神死亡中释放出来，这种精神死亡来自于我们生活在一个符合外在定义的表象之下，即我们是谁，我们是什么。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I don't have a favourite designer because I feel every designer offers something different and special, but I do really like Alexander Wang, Burberry, Stella McCartney and Balmain.
我没有一个最喜欢的设计师，因为我觉得每个设计师都提供一些不同的和特别的东西，但我真的很喜欢亚历山大王，巴宝莉，斯特拉麦卡特尼和巴尔曼。
God is His own Design and End, and that there is no other Worthy of Him.
神是他自己的旨意和目的，没有别的配得上他。
People buy a chair, and they don't really care who designed it.
人们买了一把椅子，他们并不在乎是谁设计的。
There is the danger of over preparation, of loss of spontaneity; over rehearsal is the most terrible thing you can imagine. We do have a very close association between costume and set designer, though. And the cameraman is very important, of course.
有过度准备的危险，有失去自发性的危险;排练过度是你能想象到的最可怕的事情。不过，我们在服装和布景设计师之间有非常密切的联系。当然，摄影师非常重要。
A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
一个设计师知道他达到了完美，不是因为没有什么可以添加的，而是因为没有什么可以删除的。
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。
