A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
做
Doing
I can't do with mountains at close quarters - they are always in the way, and they are so stupid, never moving and never doing anything but obtrude themselves.
我不能让山离得太近——它们总是挡着我的路,它们是如此愚蠢,从不移动,除了强迫自己,什么都不做。
I don't really want to be doing high budget, where they've got cranes and everything. That just sounds boring, having to do the same thing over and over again.
我真的不想做高预算的工作,那里有起重机之类的东西。听起来很无聊,一遍又一遍做同样的事情。
I was painting sets, working in editorial as an assistant, driving their trucks, lying that I knew how to drive a truck, and doing commercials and documentaries.
我画布景,做编辑助理,开他们的卡车,谎称自己会开卡车,拍广告和纪录片。
Years have passed since I have set foot in a comedy club. If the comic is doing badly it's painful, and if the comic is doing brilliantly, it's extremely painful.
自从我进入喜剧俱乐部以来,已经有好几年了。如果漫画做得不好,这是痛苦的,如果漫画做得很好,这是非常痛苦的。
Yeah, I've had an odd youth, But I wouldn't know the difference if I'd lived it any other way. And I wouldn't change any of it because I quite like what I'm doing.
是的,我有过一段奇怪的青春,但如果我以另一种方式生活,我不会知道这其中的区别。我不会做任何改变,因为我很喜欢我所做的。
When we were first started we were doing a lot of Motown stuff, but actually playing it more in a rock way. Everybody in the band sang and we did a lot of harmonies.
当我们刚开始的时候,我们做了很多摩城的东西,但实际上更多的是用摇滚的方式来演奏。乐队里的每个人都唱歌,我们做了很多和声。
So it allows me to travel, I'll be doing that and running these great rivers and doing what I've done in the past without much purpose other than for the experience.
所以它让我可以旅行,我可以那样做,管理这些伟大的河流,做我过去做过的事情,除了为了体验,没有其他目的。
It was amazing that during rehearsals, without any of the costume on, the character was there complete. It just happened. Half the time, I didn't know I was doing it.
令人惊讶的是,在排练时,没有穿任何服装,这个角色在那里是完整的。它只是发生。有一半时间,我都不知道自己在做这件事。
But I just think we've got such a continuity with what we're doing that most people come in and fill in the blanks. And sometimes we leave a lot of blanks to be filled.
但我认为我们所做的事情是如此的连贯,以至于大多数人都来填补空白。有时我们会留下很多空白。
So let's be honest with ourselves and not take ourselves too serious, and never condemn the other fellow for doing what we are doing every day, only in a different way.
所以,让我们对自己诚实一点,不要把自己看得太严肃,永远不要因为别人每天做的事情而责备他,只是用不同的方式罢了。
I couldn't do that as attorney general. Why? Because they are my clients. You can't say they're not doing what they ought to be doing when you are the attorney general.
作为司法部长,我不能这么做。为什么?因为他们是我的客户。你不能说当你是司法部长的时候他们没有做他们应该做的事。
As a kid growing up in the back streets of Dublin I used to pretend I was playing in the World Cup with my mates out on the streets, and now I will be doing it for real.
小时候,我在都柏林的后街长大,我常常假装和队友们一起在街上踢世界杯,现在,我真的要这么做了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The enjoyment of life would be instantly gone if you removed the possibility of doing something.
如果你排除了做某事的可能性,生活的乐趣就会立刻消失。
Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.
风险来自于不知道自己在做什么。
It is only by the rational use of technology; to control and guide what technology is doing; that we can keep any hopes of a social life more desirable than our own: or in fact of a social life which is not appalling to imagine.
它只有通过合理运用技术;控制和指导技术的工作;我们可以对社会生活抱有比我们自己的生活更令人向往的任何希望,或者事实上对一种想象起来并不可怕的社会生活抱有希望。

虽然手术使我的一条腿比另一条短,但我现在好多了。
When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best - that is inspiration.
当你不知道自己在做什么,不知道自己在做什么是最好的,那就是激励。
If nothing is to be done in the given situation, he must invent plausible reasons for doing nothing; and if something must be done, he must suggest the something. The unpardonable sin is to propose nothing, when action is imperative.
如果在给定的情况下什么也不做,他必须为什么也不做编造合理的理由;如果必须采取措施,他必须提出建议。当行动是必须的时候,什么也不提是不可饶恕的罪。
