A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
要么
Either
You are always working on your worst book and your best book at the same time. The praise does not make you write better, and it shouldn't make you write worse, either.
你总是同时在写你最差的书和最好的书。赞美不会让你写得更好,也不应该让你写得更差。
Usually if nobody hates a piece, nobody loves it, either; and a magazine which sets itself the goal of provoking thought is not doing its job if everybody agrees with what it does.
通常,如果没有人讨厌一块,也没有人喜欢它;如果每个人都同意一本杂志所做的事情,那么它设定的激发思考的目标并没有发挥作用。
I know so many people who are eaten up by regret. It manifests itself in so many ways. They either become mentally a bit off, or they get very fat, or they are just horribly depressed.
我知道很多人都被悔恨吞噬了。它表现在很多方面。他们要么变得精神失常,要么变得非常肥胖,要么就是极度抑郁。
Comedy is the most difficult. Comic timing is something which you either have it in you, or you don't. You have to have a good sense of humour to be able to understand it. A split second can make you lose the punch.
喜剧是最难的。喜剧时机是你要么有,要么没有的东西。你必须有很好的幽默感才能理解它。一刹那就能让你失去冲劲。
I don't wilt easily, and a director can't either. He's the captain of the ship and he's got to be in total control. He also has to have respect for the people he's working for. From being an actor and being on a set my whole life, I'm very comfortable there. And I'm not afraid.
我不会轻易屈服,导演也不会。他是这艘船的船长,他必须完全控制局面。他还必须尊重为他工作的人。从一个演员到我的整个生活都在片场,我在那里很舒服。我不害怕。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Definition of a Statistician: A man who believes figures don't lie, but admits than under analysis some of them won't stand up either.

You either are a good director or you're not.

One should either be sad or joyful. Contentment is a warm sty for eaters and sleepers.

The past may hurt, but you can either run from it, or you can learn from it.
过去是痛楚的,但你要么可以逃避,要么可以向它学习。
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
艺术不是剽窃就是革命。
Nobody buy you and your caddie care what you do out there, and if your caddie is betting against you, he doesn't care, either.
