A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
地球
Earth
Those who know that the consensus of many centuries has sanctioned the conception that the earth remains at rest in the middle of the heavens as its center, would, I reflected, regard it as an insane pronouncement if I made the opposite assertion that the earth moves.
那些知道许多世纪以来的共识已经认可了地球仍然静止在天空中央作为其中心的观点的人，我想，如果我做出地球运动的相反断言，他们会认为这是一个疯狂的声明。
A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.
山是由微小的土粒组成的。海洋是由微小的水滴组成的。即便如此，生活也只是无穷无尽的细节、行动、言语和思想。即使是最微不足道的事情，其好与坏的影响都是深远的。
If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.
如果一个人每天有一半的时间是为了爱他们而在树林里散步，那么他就有可能被认为是一个游手好闲的人。但如果他把自己的时间花在投机上，在她之前砍掉那些树木，让地球光秃秃的，他就被认为是一个勤奋进取的公民。
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
正如一个脚印不能在地球上开辟一条路一样，一个想法也不能在头脑中开辟一条路。为了走出一条深深的物理之路，我们走了一遍又一遍。要走出一条深邃的心灵之路，我们必须反复思考我们希望主宰我们生活的思想。
When people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together.
当人们认为地球是平的时候，他们错了。当人们认为地球是球形的时候，他们错了。但是，如果你认为认为地球是球形和认为地球是扁平一样错误，那么你的观点就比这两种观点加起来还要错误。
If you look at it ecologically, deforestation is high on the list of things which bring devastation. You cut down trees to build homes, for fuel, and you end up with no trees left, and you have to move on. If you take the earth as a whole, eventually there's nowhere to move on to.
如果你从生态学的角度来看，森林砍伐是造成破坏的首要原因。你砍伐树木来建造房屋，作为燃料，结果你没有树了，你必须继续前进。如果你把地球作为一个整体，最终你将无处可去。
I love the game, it's the greatest game on earth, that's why I can't understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element.
我爱这款游戏，它是世界上最伟大的游戏，这就是为什么我不能理解所有关于如何让游戏变得更好的讨论。人们谈论高打击区，改变这个和那个。为什么？加快游戏速度?这就是棒球的魅力所在。没有时间元素。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
We are the most powerful nation on earth. No external power, no terrorist organization, can defeat us. But we can defeat ourselves by getting caught in a quagmire.
我们是世界上最强大的国家。没有任何外部力量，没有任何恐怖组织能够打败我们。但是我们可以通过陷入困境来打败自己。
I wish I'd done everything on earth with you.
我希望我和你一起做了世界上所有的事。
The Earth does not belong to us. We belong to the Earth.
地球不属于我们。我们属于地球。
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
艺术家是情感的容器，情感来自四面八方:来自天空，来自大地，来自一张纸片，来自一个路过的形状，来自一张蜘蛛网。
Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.
服务他人是你在地球上为你的房间支付的租金。
