A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
独自一人
Alone
I'm not a rock star. Sure I am, to a certain extent because of the situation, but when kids ask me how it feels to be a rock star, I say leave me alone, I'm not a rock star. I'm not in it for the fame, I'm in it because I like to play.
我不是摇滚明星。当然,在某种程度上,我是这样的,因为这种情况,但当孩子们问我当摇滚明星感觉如何时,我说,别管我,我不是摇滚明星。我参加比赛不是为了出名,而是因为我喜欢打球。
I wrote and produced millions and millions of selling records, so my publishing company alone was worth millions of dollars. I didn't have to work anymore in life because when the rappers started sampling... I'm the most sampled artist in history.
我创作和制作了数以百万计的畅销唱片,因此仅我的出版公司就价值数百万美元。我在生活中不用再工作了,因为当说唱歌手开始取样时……我是历史上采样最多的艺术家。
However, as a parent, as a grandparent, as a former educator, I know that these practices alone when we are dealing with young children are insufficient. We will never control this rising epidemic without greater accountability from the food industry.
然而,作为一个家长,作为一个祖父母,作为一个前教育工作者,我知道,当我们与年幼的孩子打交道时,仅靠这些做法是不够的。如果食品行业不承担更大的责任,我们将永远无法控制这一不断上升的流行病。
This communication alone, by the comparison of the antagonisms, rivalries, movements which give birth to decisive moments, permits the evolution of the soul, whereby a man realizes himself on earth. It is impossible to be concerned with anything else in art.
只有这种交流,通过对产生决定性时刻的对立、对抗和运动的比较,才允许灵魂的进化,从而使人在地球上实现自我。在艺术上不可能再关心别的事情。
I did a lot of writing for a lot of different kinds of bands that I was in and out of during those five years and that left me with a little body of songs that I liked better when I played alone, so I ended up going out solo and very soon made my first album.
我的写作做了很多很多不同的乐队,我是在在这五年里,给我留下一点的歌曲,我更喜欢当我独自一人,所以我最终独自外出,很快使我的第一张专辑。
I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.
我想有时候你需要做的就是听别人说同样的话,然后意识到你并不孤单。我试着在歌曲中注入一些希望,无论在什么情况下,这样就不仅仅是肮脏,苦差事和痛苦的生活。
I love my friends and family, but I also love it when they can't find me and I can spend all day reading or walking all alone, in silence, eight thousand miles away from everyone. All alone and unreachable in a foreign country is one my most favorite possible things to be.
我爱我的朋友和家人,但我也爱他们找不到我,我可以花一整天的时间阅读或独自行走,在沉默中,远离所有人的八千英里。独自一人在异国他乡遥不可及是我最喜欢的事情之一。
Throughout my whole life, as a performer, I've never played with a band. I've always played alone, so I was never required to stay in rhythm or anything. So it was a real different experience for me to start playing with a band. There were so many basic things for me to learn.
在我的一生中,作为一个演员,我从来没有和乐队一起演奏过。我总是一个人玩,所以我从来没有被要求保持节奏或其他。所以对我来说,开始和乐队一起演奏是一种完全不同的体验。有很多基本的东西需要我去学习。
I tour alone. There's no sound check, no back up. I stay with the hosts; I am in a family home and it's really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day, it's a new relationship being built. It's odd and wonderful.
我一个人旅游。没有声音检查,没有备份。我和主人住在一起;我在一个家庭里,它真的很有营养。我只需要记住演出结束后不要穿着睡衣跑进客厅。每一天,我们都在建立一种新的关系。这既奇怪又奇妙。
I think I meant that, given the circumstances of my childhood, I had the illusion that it's easier to be alone. To have your relationships be casual and also to pose as a solitary person, because it was more romantic. You know, I was raised on the idea of the ramblin' man and the loner.
我想我的意思是,考虑到我童年的环境,我有一种错觉,认为独处更容易。让你们的关系变得随意,也要装成一个孤独的人,因为这样更浪漫。你知道,我从小就被流浪的男人和孤独的人抚养长大。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
It's your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.
这是你自己的路。别人可以与你同行,但没有人能为你同行。
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
如果你想走得快,就一个人走。如果你想走得远,就一起走。
I prefer to work alone and do everything alone, even today.
我更喜欢独自工作,独自做每件事,即使是今天。
If you aren't happy single, you won't be happy taken. Happiness comes from within, not from men.
如果你单身时不快乐,有伴时也不会快乐。幸福来自内心,而不是男人。
Virtue is not left to stand alone.
美德不是孤立的。
You don't have to be alone to feel alone.
你不必独自一人去感受孤独。
