A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
优秀
Excellent
Most people have excellent necks. Now they cover them with curtains, which is kind of ridiculous. But there are some beautiful necklines that you can cut into and create wonderful backs, as well as bone structure for the face.
大多数人都有很好的脖子。现在他们用窗帘盖住它们,这有点可笑。但也有一些美丽的领口,你可以剪开,创造出美妙的背部,以及面部的骨骼结构。
I'm excellent at losing weight, but I've never been excellent at maintenance. I have some better days than others in terms of being hypervigilant, but with maintenance you don't know if you've been good at it until you're done.
我擅长减肥,但我从来不擅长保养。在保持高度警惕方面,我有过比别人更好的日子,但在维护方面,你不知道自己是否擅长,直到你完成为止。
Such discussions help us very little to enjoy what has been well done in art or poetry, to discriminate between what is more and what is less excellent in them, or to use words like beauty, excellence, art, poetry, with a more precise meaning than they would otherwise have.
这样的讨论对我们欣赏艺术或诗歌的优秀作品帮助甚微,无法区分它们的优劣,也无法使用诸如“美”、“卓越”、“艺术”、“诗歌”等词汇,而这些词汇的含义比它们原本的含义更为精确。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
If you don't use good ingredients, the outcome is never going to be excellent. But if you buy the freshest ingredients that are in season, at their peak, and you cook with them, you can't really go wrong.
如果你不使用好的原料,结果永远不会很好。但如果你买了最新鲜的当季食材,在它们的鼎盛时期,你用它们做菜,你不会真的出错。
Examples would indeed be excellent things were not people so modest that none will set, and so vain that none will follow them.
如果人们不是谦虚到没有人愿意树立榜样,不是虚荣到没有人愿意追随他们,事情就会变得很好。
That was excellent! I mean, it didn't do anything, but it looked really cool!
那是太好了!我的意思是,它什么也没做,但它看起来真的很酷!
What is easy is seldom excellent.
容易做的事很少是优秀的。
The work to me is everything, and I would throw every rule overboard and send them to the bottom of the sea tomorrow, if I felt there were a more excellent way.
对我来说,工作就是一切,如果我觉得有更好的办法,我明天就会把所有的规则都扔到海里,然后把它们扔到海底去。
You can become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher standards for yourself and then by doing everything possible to live up to those standards.
你可以通过不断地为自己设定越来越高的标准,然后尽一切可能达到这些标准,从而成为一个更加优秀的人。
