A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
事件
Event
A dramatist is one who believes that the pure event, an action involving human beings, is more arresting than any comment that can be made upon it.
剧作家认为纯粹的事件，涉及人类的行为，比任何评论都更引人注目。
What we have to do now is to make the public at large aware that what we're looking at is not a historical event but - and I have to be brutal and I am going to say it - a racket.
我们现在要做的是让广大公众意识到，我们所看到的不是一个历史事件，而是——我不得不说得很残酷——一个骗局。
In my world, history comes down to language and art. No one cares much about what battles were fought, who won them and who lost them - unless there is a painting, a play, a song or a poem that speaks of the event.
在我的世界里，历史可以归结为语言和艺术。没有人太在意曾经打过什么仗，谁赢了谁输了——除非有一幅画、一出戏、一首歌或一首诗讲述了这个事件。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Going to the movies was a big event in my youth. My father would be the initiator - he'd have me put on a jacket to see a film.
看电影是我年轻时的一件大事。我父亲会是发起人——他会让我穿上夹克去看电影。
It is almost always the cover-up rather than the event that causes trouble.
造成麻烦的几乎总是掩盖，而不是事件本身。
In other words, by finding the anomalous event, what you do is you get out ahead of activities.
换句话说，通过发现异常事件，你所做的就是走在活动的前面。
Life is so constructed that an event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.
生活就是这样构建的:一件事不符合、不可能、也不会符合人们的期望。
Those who despise money will eventually sponge on their friends.
那些鄙视金钱的人最终会依赖他们的朋友。
One comedy event an evening is enough for me.
一个晚上看一场喜剧就够了。
