A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
设计
Design
There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show; they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it, I think, how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?
有两种类型的设计师:一种非常高兴被锁在办公室里，周围都是自己的小圈子。他们最不需要做的事情就是去看巡回演出;他们会去爬山。我不仅喜欢它，我想，你如何设计适用于生活的东西——除非你生活在其中?
I did a bit of modeling before I took up acting, and I was up for this big campaign - I can't remember which designer - and all these execs were looking at my portfolio. Then one said: 'We'd like to use you, but can you come back next year when you've lost this.' And he tapped the underside of his chin.
在我开始表演之前，我做了一些模特，我准备参加这个大型的活动——我不记得是哪个设计师了——所有这些高管都在看我的作品集。然后其中一个说:“我们很想利用你，但是你明年丢了这个之后还能再来吗?”他拍了拍下巴下面。
If you want people to perform better, you reward them, right? Bonuses, commissions, their own reality show. Incentivize them.But that’s not happening here. You’ve got an incentive designed to sharpen thinking and accelerate creativity, and it does just the opposite. It dulls thinking and blocks creativity.
如果你想让人们表现得更好，你就奖励他们，对吧?奖金，佣金，他们自己的真人秀。激励他们。但这并没有发生在这里。你的动机是为了提高思维和加速创造力，而它的作用恰恰相反。它使思维迟钝，阻碍创造力。
When I started this project, I was a young architect. I was very apprehensive about any changes to the design. Whether I wanted to or not, I learned that you can accept some changes to its form without compromising its intent. But it's a leap of faith that I didn't want to make initially - to put it mildly.
当我开始这个项目时，我是一个年轻的建筑师。我对设计上的任何变化都很担心。无论我愿意与否，我了解到您可以接受对其形式的一些更改，而不损害其意图。但说得委婉点，这是我一开始并不想做出的一个信念飞跃。
We're going to move from a commodity economy where you basically grow the same kind of crops - where a kernel of corn is a kernel of corn is a kernel of corn - to an ingredient economy where there will be a kernel of corn that will be designed for fuel, there will be a kernel of corn designed for livestock.
我们要从商品经济,你基本上种植同一种作物,玉米的内核是一个内核的玉米是一个内核的玉米——一个经济成分,将会有一个内核的玉米将为燃料,将会有一个内核的玉米用于牲畜。
In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.
在赐给我们孩子的过程中，上帝把我们置于领导和服务的地位。他呼吁我们为了别人而放弃自己的生命——放弃自己的欲望，把孩子的利益放在首位。然而，根据他完美的设计，正是通过这种无私，我们才能真正实现。
There are divisions between a culinary chef and a dessert chef, also called a pastry chef. There are specializations within the pastry chef field. Some pastry chefs specialize in baking breads, while others are master cake designers. Each field requires an exceptional level of creativity and attention to detail.
烹饪厨师和甜点厨师(也被称为糕点师)之间是有区别的。在糕点厨师领域有专门的。一些糕点师擅长烘焙面包，而另一些则是蛋糕大师。每个领域都需要非凡的创造力和对细节的关注。
There is a better reason for studying zoology than its possible ‘usefulness’, and the general likeableness of animals. This reason is that we animals are the most complicated and perfectly designed pieces of machinery in the known universe. Put it like that, and it is hard to see why anybody studies anything else!
研究动物学有一个比它可能的“有用性”和动物的普遍可爱性更好的理由。这是因为我们动物是已知宇宙中最复杂、设计最完美的机器。这么说吧，很难理解为什么有人要学习其他东西!
We are only beginning to understand on how subtle a communication system the functioning of an advanced industrial society is based---a communications system which we call the market and which turns out to be a more efficient mechanism for digesting dispersed information than any that man has deliberately designed.
我们才刚刚开始了解先进工业社会运作的通讯系统是多么微妙——我们称之为市场的通讯系统，它是消化分散信息的一种比人类故意设计的任何通讯系统都更有效的机制。
I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now. It's not about abandoning what I was doing before, or giving up. It's about knowing that if I die tomorrow, I lived the way I wanted to.
我做我现在喜欢做的事。如果我明天醒来决定要跳舞，我就会这么做。或设计衣服。我想无论我现在在做什么，我都会全力以赴。这不是放弃我以前做过的事，或者放弃。而是要知道，如果我明天就死了，我会按照我想要的方式生活。
There are no prescriptive solutions, no grand designs for grand problems. Life's solutions lie in the minute particulars involving more and more individual people daring to create their own life and art, daring to listen to the voice within their deepest, original nature, and deeper still, the voice within the earth.
没有规定的解决方案，没有针对重大问题的宏大设计。生活的解决之道就在于那些涉及到越来越多敢于创造自己的生活和艺术的个人的细小细节，敢于倾听他们内心最深处、最原始的、甚至更深层次的声音——地球内部的声音。
Better biofuels are a really big deal. That means we can precisely engineer the molecules in the fuel chain and optimize them along the way. So, if all goes well, they're going to have designer bugs in warm vats that are eating and digesting sugars to excrete better biofuels. I guess that's better living through bugs.
更好的生物燃料是一件大事。这意味着我们可以精确地设计燃料链中的分子，并在此过程中优化它们。所以，如果一切顺利，他们将在温暖的大桶里有设计好的虫子，它们正在吃和消化糖，以排出更好的生物燃料。我想这样过虫子的日子会更好。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
Good design is good business.
好的设计就是好的生意。
His designs were strictly honourable, as the phrase is; that is, to rob a lady of her fortune by way of marriage.
他的设计，严格地说，是可敬的;也就是说，通过婚姻剥夺一位女士的财产。
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.
一般来说，玩游戏是男性的事情。游戏并不是为了排斥女性。每个试图设计一款能够吸引大量女性观众的游戏的人都失败了。我认为这与男性和女性不同的思维过程有关。
Consular cards were not designed to be identification and no treaty recognizes them as such. Legal travelers, visitors and long-term residents carried passports, visas or green cards for that purpose.
领事卡的设计目的不是作为身份证件，也没有任何条约承认这种证件。合法游客、访客和长期居民为此携带护照、签证或绿卡。
