A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

存在

Exist

You say something, things you would rather forget, and then they are out there. It makes me anxious and I don't know why people are interested in me anyway. If I had my way, I would rather exist in a little hole and not speak to anyone.

你说了一些,一些你宁愿忘记的事情,然后它们就出现了。这让我很焦虑,我不知道人们为什么对我感兴趣。如果我能随心所欲,我宁愿生活在一个小洞里,不和任何人说话。

When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

当人们谈论写作、说话或思考的自由时,我只能笑。从来没有这样的东西存在过。现在不存在这样的东西;但我希望它会存在。但这一定是在你我不再写信和说话之后的几百年以后了。

In short, no pattern is an isolated entity. Each pattern can exist in the world only to the extent that is supported by other patterns: the larger patterns in which it is embedded, the patterns of the same size that surround it, and the smaller patterns which are embedded in it.

简而言之,没有模式是孤立的实体。每种模式只能在其他模式支持的范围内存在:嵌入它的较大模式、与它相同大小的模式以及嵌入其中的较小模式。

Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not, is a question that may fairly be asked; for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted, so that evidently there cannot be number; for number is either what has been, or what can be, counted.

如果灵魂不存在,时间是否会存在,这是一个可以公平地提出的问题;因为如果没有人可以数,就没有什么可以数的,所以显然就没有数字;因为数字不是已经被数过的,就是可以被数过的。
