A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
决定
Dictated
My scores don't dictate who I am.
我的分数不能决定我是谁。
I don't dictate the solos and I don't dictate the vocal harmonies.
我不指挥独奏，也不指挥和声。
Once you feel like you're being dictated by other people's expectations, it usually backfires.
一旦你觉得自己被别人的期望所左右，通常会适得其反。
I don't like to dictate the style to the customer, I believe people give something their own trend.
我不喜欢把款式强加给顾客，我相信人们会给他们自己的风格。
I love that Viking era, but also they're a fatalistic people and that dictated their fearlessness in battle and approach to life.
我喜欢那个维京时代，但他们也是宿命论的民族，这决定了他们在战斗和生活方式上的无畏。
Political reporters no longer get to decide what's news. The days when a minister gave briefings to a dozen lobby correspondents, and thereby dictated the next day's headlines, are over. Now, a thousand bloggers decide for themselves what is interesting. If enough of them are tickled then, bingo, you're news.
政治记者不再有权决定新闻内容。一位部长向十多位游说记者作简报，从而决定第二天的头条新闻的日子已经一去不复返了。现在，一千名博主自己决定什么是有趣的。如果有足够多的人被逗乐了，那么，宾果，你就是新闻了。
