A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
活着
Alive
The less you know, the less there is to worry about. But with knowledge comes respect, curiosity, and excitement. Because you know things are scary. And yet, you're still alive.
你知道的越少,担心的就越少。但是随着知识而来的是尊重、好奇和兴奋。因为你知道事情很可怕。但你还活着。
We are a nation in which freedom is alive in the squares and streets, in the daily work of the communications media, in the open relationship between the governing and the governed.
我们是一个在广场和街道上、在传播媒体的日常工作中、在统治者和被统治者之间的公开关系中充满自由的国家。
Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs one hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate... but with his other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins.
任何活着时无法接受自己生活的人,都需要一只手来抵御他对命运的绝望……但用另一只手,他可以记下他所看到的废墟。
So if you're a robot and you're living on this planet, you can do things that you can't do in real life - things that you wished you could do: like fly; like have a car that flies; like have furniture that is alive.
所以如果你是一个机器人,你生活在这个星球上,你可以做一些你在现实生活中不能做的事情——你希望你能做的事情:比如飞行;就像有一辆会飞的车;比如拥有有生命的家具。
Of course there are many ways we can reuse something. We can dye it. We can cut it. We can change the buttons. Those are other ways to make it alive. But this is a new step to use anything - hats, socks, shirts. It's the first step in the process.
当然,我们有很多方法可以重用一些东西。我们可以给它染色。我们可以削减。我们可以换按钮。这些是让它活下来的其他方法。但这是使用任何东西的新步骤——帽子、袜子、衬衫。这是整个过程的第一步。
In our story logic which we're making up, if we're saying he's alive, then like a quadriplegic who's in bed he can move his head and shoulders, but he can't move his arms. If he could just turn on that power to his legs and arms, the nerves could get through and he could walk.
在我们编造的故事逻辑中,如果我们说他还活着,那么就像一个四肢瘫痪的人躺在床上,他可以移动他的头和肩膀,但是他不能移动他的手臂。如果他能把这种能量转移到他的腿和胳膊上,神经就能通过,他就能走路了。
A game one of my sisters will play with me in my first year of being alive is called Good Baby, Bad Baby. This consists of being told I am a good baby until I smile and laugh, then being told I am a bad baby until I burst into tears. This training will stand me in good stead all through my life.
我姐姐会在我出生的第一年和我玩一个游戏,叫做“好宝宝,坏宝宝”。这包括被告知我是一个好孩子,直到我笑了,然后被告知我是一个坏孩子,直到我哭了。这次训练将使我受益终生。
Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.
恐惧让我们专注于过去或担心未来。如果我们能承认自己的恐惧,我们就能意识到我们现在很好。现在,今天,我们仍然活着,我们的身体正在神奇地工作。我们的眼睛仍然可以看到美丽的天空。我们的耳朵仍然能听到我们所爱的人的声音。
