Ditch
A fall into a ditch, a gain in your wit.
吃一堑，长一智。
I would say I'd rather dig a ditch, you know, do hard, manual labor than write lyrics.
我会说，我宁愿挖一条沟，你知道，做艰苦的体力劳动，而不是写歌词。

一个人不能把另一个人留在沟里而不把他留在沟里。
When you're a short actor you stand on apple boxes, you walk on a ramp. When you're a short star everybody else walks in a ditch.
当你是一个小演员，你站在苹果盒子上，你走在斜坡上。当你是一个小星星的时候，其他人都走在沟里。
I have three phobias which, could I mute them, would make my life as slick as a sonnet, but as dull as ditch water: I hate to go to bed, I hate to get up, and I hate to be alone.
我有三种恐惧症，如果我能消除它们，它们会使我的生活像十四行诗一样流畅，但又像排水沟里的水一样枯燥:我讨厌睡觉，我讨厌起床，我讨厌一个人呆着。
