A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
热情
Enthusiasm
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent.
在一个困难的职业中取得成功需要对自己有强烈的信心。这就是为什么有些人虽然天赋平平,但内心却充满动力,比那些天赋出众的人走得更远。
You can't climb up to the second floor without a ladder. When you set your aim too high and don't fulfill it, then your enthusiasm turns to bitterness. Try for a goal that's reasonable, and then gradually raise it.
没有梯子你上不了二楼。当你把目标定得太高而没有实现时,你的热情就会变成痛苦。尝试一个合理的目标,然后逐渐提高它。
Apathy can be overcome by enthusiasm, and enthusiasm can only be aroused by two things: first, an ideal, with takes the imagination by storm, and second, a definite intelligible plan for carrying that ideal into practice.
冷漠可以被热情所克服,而热情只能被两件事所激发:第一,一个充满想象力的理想;第二,一个将理想付诸实践的明确而清晰的计划。
Celebrate your success and find humor in your failures. Dont take yourself so seriously. Loosen up and everyone around you will loosen up. Have fun and always show enthusiasm. When all else fails, put on a costume and sing a silly song.
庆祝你的成功,在失败中寻找幽默。别把自己太当回事。放松,你周围的人都会放松。玩得开心,表现出热情。当一切都失败时,穿上戏服,唱首傻歌。
Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument.
信仰是一种兴奋和热情:它是一种智力上的辉煌,我们必须紧紧抓住它,就像抓住一件珍宝一样。我们不能在人生的道路上,浪费在那些空洞的小钱上,也不能浪费在一本正经的辩论上。
Conscience is doubtless sufficient to conduct the coldest character into the road of virtue; but enthusiasm is to conscience what honor is to duty; there is in us a superfluity of soul, which it is sweet to consecrate to the beautiful when the good has been accomplished.
毫无疑问,良心足以引导最冷酷的人走上美德之路;热情之于良知,犹如荣誉之于责任;我们身上有一种多余的灵魂,当美好的事物完成后,把它奉献给美丽的事物是很甜蜜的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I don't want to express alienation. It isn't what I feel. I'm interested in various kinds of passionate engagement. All my work says be serious, be passionate, wake up.
我不想表达异化。这不是我的感觉。我对各种充满激情的参与感兴趣。我所有的工作都告诉我要严肃,要有激情,要清醒。
I'm not really looking for theater work. But if somebody approaches me with enthusiasm, I might respond.
我不是真的在找戏剧工作。但如果有人热情地接近我,我可能会回应。
Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
成功就是不断地失败而不丧失热情。
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
我对大自然没有热情,即使是最轻微的寒意也不会立刻摧毁它。
Enthusiasm releases the drive to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all you do.
热情释放了你跨越障碍的动力,并为你所做的一切增添了意义。
