A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
能源
Energy
We must have a relentless commitment to producing a meaningful, comprehensive energy package aimed at conservation, alleviating the burden of energy prices on consumers, decreasing our country's dependency on foreign oil, and increasing electricity grid reliability.
我们必须坚持不懈地致力于制定一项有意义的、全面的能源方案，旨在节约能源，减轻消费者的能源价格负担，减少我国对外国石油的依赖，并提高电网的可靠性。
These are very subtle things, of course, and I don't expect everyone to pick them up consciously, but I think that there is something there that you must be able to feel, there is an energy at work that I must trust my audience will be able to pick up at some level.
这些都是很微妙的东西,当然,我也不指望每个人都有意识地把它们捡起来,但我认为有一些,你一定能感觉到,有一种能量在工作中,我必须相信我的听众能够在某种程度上。
A great number of the disappointments and mishaps of the troubled world are the direct result of literature and the allied arts. It is our belief that no human being who devotes his life and energy to the manufacture of fantasies can be anything but fundamentally inadequate.
在这个多事之秋，许多失望和不幸都是文学和相关艺术的直接结果。我们相信，任何把自己的生命和精力用于幻想的人，从根本上来说都是不够的。
Just as fossil fuels from conventional sources are finite and are becoming depleted, those from difficult sources will also run out. If we put all our energy and resources into continued fossil fuel extraction, we will have lost an opportunity to have invested in renewable energy.
正如传统来源的化石燃料是有限的，而且正在枯竭一样，来自困难来源的化石燃料也将耗尽。如果我们把所有的能源和资源都投入到持续的化石燃料开采中，我们就失去了投资可再生能源的机会。
I am in the process of trying to decide whether I can make a substantive and productive contribution to the policy-making process. I was always there because I wanted to work on the pressing issues of the day - I'm interested in energy, I'm interested in the climate bill and technology policy.
我正在努力决定我是否能对决策过程作出实质性和富有成效的贡献。我一直都在那里，因为我想处理当下紧迫的问题——我对能源感兴趣，我对气候法案和技术政策感兴趣。

沿着这个主题，再读几句。
It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.

At that time a senator who was on the Joint Committee of Atomic Energy said rather quietly, 'You know, we're having a little problem with waste these days.' I didn't know what he meant then, but I know now.
当时，原子能联合委员会的一位参议员相当平静地说，你知道，我们这些天在浪费方面遇到了一点小问题。“那时我不知道他是什么意思，但现在我知道了。
There are not many things in my life I can be absolutely proud of or certain I got right, but one of them is that I've got better as an actor. I've learnt how to do it. And I still have enough energy to do it.
在我的生活中，没有多少事情是我绝对可以自豪的，或者我肯定自己是对的，但其中之一就是我作为一名演员变得更好了。我已经学会怎么做了。我还有足够的精力去做。
