Environment
You can't have virtue without sin. What I'm after is having my characters' virtues defined by how they operate in a very sinful environment. That's how you test people.
没有罪恶就没有美德。我所追求的是让我的角色在一个罪恶的环境中如何表现自己的美德。这就是测试人的方法。
Perhaps catastrophe is the natural human environment, and even though we spend a good deal of energy trying to get away from it, we are programmed for survival amid catastrophe.
也许灾难是自然的人类环境，尽管我们花费了大量的精力试图摆脱它，但我们已经为在灾难中生存做好了准备。
Hugging trees has a calming effect on me. I'm talking about enormous trees that will be there when we are all dead and gone. I've hugged trees in every part of this little island.
拥抱树木对我有镇静作用。我说的是巨大的树木，当我们都死后，它们就会出现。我拥抱了这个小岛的每一个角落的树木。

Outside of the chair, the teapot is the most ubiquitous and important design element in the domestic environment and almost everyone who has tackled the world of design has ended up designing one.

Yonkers made me strong and made me believe in myself, because so many people would doubt you and not believe. There are people that would believe in you, but the environment was so harsh, nobody wanted you to get out, you know?
扬克斯让我变得坚强，让我相信自己，因为很多人会怀疑你，不相信你。有人会相信你，但是环境太恶劣了，没人想让你出去，你知道吗?
I've always been a strong supporter of environmental protection and initiatives in that area. But I'm willing to set priorities. If we have to make reductions in one place, we'll have to-in order to increase another place, I'm willing to do that.

I find littering very annoying. It's a minor but also a major thing: a society that litters is one that also has so little respect for the environment and, consequently, other people. If we had clean streets, a lot of other things would be fixed almost effortlessly.
我发现乱丢垃圾很烦人。这是一件小事，但也是一件大事:一个乱丢垃圾的社会是一个对环境和他人都不尊重的社会。如果我们有干净的街道，许多其他的事情将几乎毫不费力地得到解决。
