A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
几乎
Almost
We've been working on a new album, which is going to come out next spring, which is very different, a change of style for us - it's going to be almost like rock music.
我们一直在制作一张新专辑,将于明年春天发行,这是非常不同的,对我们来说是一种风格的改变——它将几乎像摇滚音乐一样。
This almost never happens, but what is really relaxing is just being in this house all by myself, sitting quietly and watching TV. But I basically never get that chance.
这几乎从未发生过,但真正令人放松的是独自一人坐在这所房子里,静静地坐着看电视。但我基本上从来没有这样的机会。
It's almost like you see too much, because when it happens for real, everything flies at you so fast, you never get a sense of the ice and where everyone is at that one moment.
这就像你看到的太多了,因为当它真的发生的时候,所有的东西都飞快地朝你飞来,你永远也感受不到冰的存在,以及每个人在那一刻的位置。
All is extremely genteel; and there is almost as much repose as in the golden saloons of the contiguous palaces. At any rate, if there be as much vice, there is as little crime.
一切都极其文雅;而且这里几乎和相邻宫殿的金色沙龙里一样多的休息时间。无论如何,如果罪恶有那么多,罪恶就会那么少。
I have a lot of different stages in my life when training has been easy or hard. Now, it seems that I have been training for so long that it has become almost second nature to me.

Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so exciting.
和几乎所有使用电子邮件的人一样,我每天都会收到大量的垃圾邮件。其中很多都能帮助我摆脱债务或快速致富。如果不是那么令人兴奋,那就有趣了。
An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious - just dead wrong.
一个受过教育的人是这样的人:他知道,事实往往是,信息至多是不完整的,而且往往是错误的、误导人的、虚构的、虚假的——完全是错误的。
There have been times I almost got a persecution complex. I felt like people wouldn't let me grow up. They always saw me as a smiling kid or goofy teenager, no matter how much I'd changed.

For almost anyone who chooses to be a writer, since so very few writers are able to learn a living from their work that is equivalent to the living earned by the average dentist or accountant.
对于几乎所有选择成为作家的人来说,因为很少有作家能够从他们的工作中获得相当于一般牙医或会计师的收入。
Almost any biographer, if he respects facts, can give us much more than another fact to add to our collection. He can give us the creative fact; the fertile fact; the fact that suggests and engenders.
几乎任何传记作家,如果他尊重事实,都能给我们提供比另一个事实更多的东西来充实我们的收藏。他能给我们创造的事实;肥沃的事实;暗示并产生的事实。
It's almost like, when someone plays poker for the first time, they might be a professional poker player out of ignorance, just accidentally winning. That was how it felt in my first stand-up appearance.
这就像,当一个人第一次玩扑克时,出于无知,他可能是一个职业扑克玩家,只是偶然赢了。这就是我第一次站起来的感觉。
In a world with no systems, with chaos, everything becomes a guerilla struggle, and this predictability is not there. And it becomes almost impossible to save lives, educate kids, develop economies, whatever.
在一个没有系统、混乱的世界里,一切都变成了游击战,而这种可预测性是不存在的。拯救生命,教育孩子,发展经济,无论如何都变得几乎不可能。
