A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
嫉妒
Envy
The envied are like bureaucrats; the more impersonal they are, the greater the illusion (for themselves and for others) of their power.
被嫉妒的人就像官僚;他们越是没有人情味,他们(对自己和他人)对自己权力的幻想就越大。
Envy among other ingredients has a mixture of the love of justice in it. We are more angry at undeserved than at deserved good-fortune.
嫉妒包含着对正义的热爱。我们对不应得的东西比对应得的好运更生气。
You know, writing is really difficult, and it takes a real patience and a skill. I don't know if I have that. I admire it in others, so much, and I envy it.
你知道,写作真的很难,需要真正的耐心和技巧。我不知道我有没有。我很欣赏别人的优点,也很羡慕别人的优点。

我从来就不太了解这些演员——尽管有时我很羡慕他们——他们能在外面躺一两年。我觉得时间是一个非常紧迫的问题,我想在剩下的时间里完成尽可能多的工作。
