A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
方向
Direction
Crawford washed her hands a lot. She washed her arms all the way up past her elbows. She just couldn't get enough done in that direction. She was compulsive about being clean, clean, clean!
克劳福德经常洗手。她的手臂一直洗到肘部。在那个方向上她做得不够。她强迫自己保持干净,干净,干净!
My grandmother had the most dramatic effect on my life because she set me in one direction, and I had to go back the other direction for my sanity, and for my ability to be a social human being.
我的祖母对我的生活产生了最戏剧性的影响,因为她让我朝一个方向前进,为了我的理智,为了我成为一个善于社交的人,我不得不回到另一个方向。
For Debussy the musician and the man I have had profound admiration, but by nature I'm different from him. I think I have always personally followed a direction opposed to that of the symbolism of Debussy.
对于德彪西这个音乐家,对于这个男人,我有很深的敬佩之情,但从本质上来说,我和他是不同的。我个人认为,我一直遵循的方向与德彪西的象征主义背道而驰。

He doesn't do a lot of looking off. Once he looks at a certain direction, you can pretty much guess he's going to throw that way. He looked to the left and didn't see nothing. Once he did that, I knew he was in scrambling mode.
他不怎么往远处看。一旦他看到某个方向,你几乎可以猜到他会朝那个方向扔。他看了看左边,什么也没看见。一旦他这么做了,我就知道他处于混乱状态。
If they are, then the only ultimate truths are the particulars of concrete experience, and no postulate or general assumption is inherent in science until its proceedings become systematic, or the truths already reached give direction to further research.
如果是这样,那么唯一的根本真理就是具体经验的特殊性,在科学的进展成为系统的,或者已经得到的真理为进一步的研究指明了方向之前,科学中不存在任何固有的假定或一般的假定。
Sometimes I think that I want to do something strictly basic, really simple. Just with a few chords. But I won't have anything more than two or three sentences in my head. That kind of evaporates once I start playing and then it goes off in whatever direction.
有时候我觉得我想做一些非常基础的,非常简单的事情。只有几个和弦。但是我脑子里最多只有两三句话。一旦我开始演奏,它就会消失,然后向任何方向消失。
The debt limits have to come down. The whole world of debt has to be changed as far as this country is concerned. We have to create jobs and we have to create them rapidly because if we don't things are just going to head in a direction that's going to be almost impossible to recover from.
债务上限必须降低。就这个国家而言,整个世界的债务都必须改变。我们必须创造就业,而且必须迅速创造就业,因为如果我们不这样做,事情就会朝着一个几乎不可能复苏的方向发展。
KEEP EXPLORING
