A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
结束
End
It's weird, man. I've had a weird life, and I don't want to end up on the dole. I'm fed up with the plumbing. And I think it would be good to be a little pop star again.
很奇怪,男人。我过着一种奇怪的生活,我不想最后靠救济金生活。我受够了管道。我认为再次成为一个小流行歌星会很好。
Why do people embrace God? In my opinion, belief in God and an afterlife is a necessary extension of man's need to feel that this life does not end with what we call death.
为什么人们拥抱上帝?在我看来,对上帝和来世的信仰是人类需要的必要延伸,人类需要感觉到今生不会以我们所说的死亡结束。
This is a game that's going to play as long as you're playing it. It's never going to end. It'll go until I retire, and when the next person has the job, they'll be on it too.
这是一个只要你在玩就会玩的游戏。它永远不会结束。它会一直持续到我退休,当下一个人得到这份工作时,他们也会参与其中。
A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there - even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity.
这里的百分之一秒,那里的百分之一秒——即使你把它们放在一起,它们加起来也只有一秒,两秒,也许三秒,从永恒中截取。
I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition the faults of the first.
我不反对从头到尾都过同样的生活:只要求作者有优势,在第二版中改正第一版的错误。
We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course and the end cannot be far. It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. For God's sake, look after our people.
我们会坚持到底,但我们当然会越来越弱,而且终点不会太远。这似乎很遗憾,但我认为我不能再写了。看在上帝的份上,照顾好我们的人民。
I'd like to one day be featured on a list of inspirational people who have made a difference in the world, whether it be helping underprivileged people or putting an end to the poaching of wildlife in Africa.
我希望有一天能被列入一份鼓舞人心的人物名单,他们为世界做出了不同凡响的贡献,无论是帮助弱势群体,还是制止非洲的野生动物偷猎。
So, you can set up an orchestra down this end of the railway station playing one particular area, and simultaneously at the other end something completely different going on. And in the middle they meet, or not, depending.
所以,你可以在火车站的这一端组建一个管弦乐队演奏一个特定的区域,同时在另一端演奏一些完全不同的东西。在中间它们相遇,或者不相遇,这取决于。
A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.
一个好的领导者可以坦率而彻底地参与一场辩论,因为他知道,最终他和对方必须走得更近,从而变得更强大。当你傲慢、肤浅、无知的时候,你就不会有这种想法。
When I accept a role, I feel that as an artist I have to submit completely to the tutelage of my director. And while I expect to be heard and encouraged and honored, at the end of the day, man, it's the way the director wants it.
当我接受一个角色时,我觉得作为一个艺术家,我必须完全服从导演的指导。虽然我希望能被听到,被鼓励,被尊重,但说到底,这是导演想要的。
The most emphatic place in a clause or sentence is the end. This is the climax; and, during the momentary pause that follows, that last word continues, as it were, to reverberate in the reader's mind. It has, in fact, the last word.
从句或句子中最强调的地方是结尾。这是高潮;在随后的短暂停顿中,那最后一个字似乎继续在读者的脑海中回荡。事实上,它是最后一个词。
I would be sad if it ended now. It's been the best job I've had by a long shot, especially creatively because the writing is so good. Every week I get the script and I laugh out loud and get excited for the different stuff we get to do.
如果现在就结束了,我会很难过。这是我所做过的最好的工作,尤其是创造性的工作,因为写作非常好。每周我拿到剧本的时候,我都会放声大笑,为我们能做的不同的事情感到兴奋。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
When you're at the end of your rope, all you have to do is make one foot move out in front of the other. Just take the next step. That's all there is to it.
当你走极端时,你所要做的就是让一只脚走到另一只脚的前面。只要迈出下一步。就是这样。
If you don't know what you want, you end up with a lot you don't.
如果你不知道自己想要什么,你会得到很多你不知道的东西。
I could have made money this way, and perhaps amused myself writing code. But I knew that at the end of my career, I would look back on years of building walls to divide people, and feel I had spent my life making the world a worse place.
我本可以用这种方式赚钱,或许还可以自娱自乐地编写代码。但我知道,在我的职业生涯结束时,当我回首多年来筑起隔离人们的高墙时,我会觉得我的一生让世界变得更糟。
It ended before it started.
它在开始之前就结束了。
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
年老时的忠告是愚蠢的;因为,有什么比我们越接近旅程的终点,就为道路增加给养更荒唐的事呢?
You end up as you deserve. In old age you must put up with the face, the friends, the health, and the children you have earned.
你得到了你应得的。在年老时,你必须忍受你所赢得的面子、朋友、健康和孩子。
