A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
晚上
Evening
I don't let the children watch TV on weeknights. They practice playing musical instruments instead. Both my sons play piano, drums and guitar, so my husband and I listen to them in the evening.
我不让孩子们在工作日晚上看电视。他们转而练习演奏乐器。我的两个儿子都弹钢琴、打鼓和弹吉他,所以我和丈夫晚上听他们演奏。
On the Wednesday evening - that is, the day I saw her Majesty on this particular point - I had the opportunity of conferring with all those whom I proposed to submit to her Majesty as Ministers.
星期三晚上,也就是我在这个问题上见到女王陛下的那一天,我有机会同我打算向女王陛下呈递的大臣们进行了会谈。
Not to discriminate every moment some passionate attitude in those about us, and in the very brilliancy of their gifts some tragic dividing on their ways, is, on this short day of frost and sun, to sleep before evening.
在这短暂的霜冻和烈日当空的日子里,不要在我们周围的人身上每时每刻都有一种激情洋溢的态度,不要在他们才华横溢的时候,在他们的人生道路上有一种悲凉的分裂,不要在黄昏前入睡。
I remember driving home one evening while they were reviewing the papers on the radio. One of the articles was about me separating from my wife. It's a weird thing to listen to a news report about the break-up of your marriage.
我记得有天晚上开车回家时,他们正在收音机上看报纸。其中一篇文章是关于我和妻子分居的。听有关婚姻破裂的新闻报道是一件很奇怪的事情。
The sun was like a great visiting presence that stimulated and took its due from all animal energy. When it flung wide its cloak and stepped down over the edge of the fields at evening, it left behind it a spent and exhausted world.
太阳就像一个伟大的来访的存在,它刺激并从所有的动物能量中获得它应有的能量。当夜幕降临,它展开斗篷,踏出田野,在身后留下了一个疲惫不堪的世界。
One's age should be tranquil, as childhood should be playful. Hard work at either extremity of life seems out of place. At midday the sun may burn, and men labor under it; but the morning and evening should be alike calm and cheerful.
一个人的年龄应该是平静的,童年应该是好玩的。在生活的任何一端努力工作似乎都不合适。正午,太阳要晒伤,人要在太阳底下劳苦。但是早晨和晚上应该一样平静和愉快。
In my whole career, in fact, I can remember only two first nights when a show was at its peak on the first night. And I just wish we could devise a system where critics came not on a single evening but were given a choice of performances to attend.
事实上,在我的整个职业生涯中,我只记得在演出的头两个晚上,一个节目在第一个晚上达到了高潮。我只是希望我们能设计出一种制度,让批评人士不是在一个晚上来的,而是可以选择参加哪些演出。
When we did a lot of that Motown stuff there were four of us on the front line. When we started the evening we'd start from one end of the band and just go along. The lead singer would change all the time. That's the first time that I actually managed to put it into a record.
当我们在汽车城做很多事情的时候,我们有四个人在前线。当我们晚上开始的时候,我们会从乐队的一端开始,跟着乐队走。主唱总是在变。这是我第一次把它记录下来。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The companion of an evening, and the companion for life, require very different qualifications.
一个晚上的伴侣,和一生的伴侣,需要非常不同的条件。
The evening news is a concept whose time has come and gone.
晚间新闻是一个时过境迁的概念。
In the morning we received some very thin coffee. For lunch we had potato soup with a few pieces of meat in it, in the evening we had a very thin meat soup with some potatoes in it.
早上我们收到一些很稀的咖啡。午餐我们吃了土豆汤,里面有几块肉,晚上我们吃了一个非常薄的肉汤,里面有一些土豆。
Throughout the evening I would be recording these long saxophone delays and about four hours into the concert, if I wanted to take a break I would just play back the saxophone.
整个晚上我都在录制萨克斯管长时间的延迟,音乐会开始后大约四个小时,如果我想休息一下,我就把萨克斯管放回去。
What a nice night for an evening.
多么美好的夜晚啊。
Take thy thoughts to bed with thee, for the morning is wiser than the evening.
带着你的思想去睡觉吧,因为早晨比晚上更聪明。
