A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
预计
Expect
Oh, the most important thing about myself is that my life has been full of changes. Therefore, when I observe the world, I don't expect to see it just like I was seeing the fellow who lives in the next room.
哦,关于我自己,最重要的是我的生活充满了变化。因此,当我观察这个世界的时候,我并不期望看到它就像我看到住在隔壁房间的那个人一样。
Because she looks so real and natural, there is something unsettling about her. She's our direct ancestor, so you expect to see something human, but she is not a human and not an ape, but something in between.
因为她看起来那么真实和自然,所以她有些不安。她是我们的直系祖先,所以你希望看到一些人类的东西,但她不是人类也不是猿,而是介于两者之间。
We always expect tremendous criticism. It is my role to be the lightning rod ... to attract the attacks against the organization for our work, and that is a difficult role. On the other hand, I get undue credit.
我们总是期待着巨大的批评。我的角色是成为避雷针…吸引对我们组织工作的攻击,这是一个艰巨的任务。另一方面,我得到不正当的信贷。
I used to think about how nice it would be to visit the planets. Of course, I didn't expect to see in my lifetime what has happened. I knew it would happen some day, but it came along faster than I at first thought.
我过去常常想,要是能到行星上去看看该有多好。当然,我没有料到在我有生之年会发生什么。我知道它总有一天会发生,但它来得比我最初想的要快。
Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't get serious with people. They don't expect it from you, and they don't want to see it. You're not entitled to be serious, you're a clown.
做一个有趣的人对你有很多好处。你觉得你不应该对别人太认真。他们不期待你这么做,他们也不想看到你这么做。你没资格严肃,你是个小丑。
Being unemployed is even more disastrous for individuals than you'd expect. Aside from the obvious harm - poverty, difficulty paying off debts - it seems to directly affect people's health, particularly that of older workers.
失业对个人的影响比你想象的还要大。除了明显的危害——贫困、难以偿还债务——它似乎直接影响人们的健康,尤其是老年工人的健康。
The meaning of this observation is unclear, but it raises the unfortunate possibility of ambiguous triplets; that is, triplets which may code more than one amino acid. However one would certainly expect such triplets to be in a minority.
这个观察的意义尚不清楚,但它提出了一个不幸的可能性,模棱两可的三胞胎;也就是说,三胞胎可以编码不止一个氨基酸。然而,人们肯定会认为这样的三胞胎只占少数。
In other words, don't expect to always be great. Disappointments, failures and setbacks are a normal part of the lifecycle of a unit or a company and what the leader has to do is constantly be up and say 'we have a problem, let's go and get it'.
换句话说,不要期望自己总是很优秀。失望、失败和挫折是一个单位或公司生命周期中正常的一部分,领导者必须不断地站起来说:“我们有问题,让我们去解决它。”
So many people prefer to live in drama because it's comfortable. It's like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship - it's actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.
很多人喜欢生活在戏剧中,因为它很舒服。这就像一个人呆在一段糟糕的婚姻或关系中——实际上更容易留下来,因为他们知道每天会发生什么,而不是离开,不知道会发生什么。
I don't understand why people expect tips. In hotels you order food in your room, and it's already more expensive from the room service menu, so it's a cheek to expect a tip on top. I do sometimes reward good service, but it should be at my discretion, and I'm not going to be held to ransom.
我不明白为什么人们要小费。在旅馆里,你在房间里点餐,从客房服务菜单上看,这已经很贵了,所以指望小费是无礼的。我有时确实会奖励好的服务,但这应该由我自己决定,我不会被勒索。
The part you don't expect when you start out is all the people who come into your life wanting a piece of you, not caring about your wellbeing. The insane schedule is very difficult. Touring looks very glamourous but it's hard and gruelling - the travelling, the meet-and-greets - it was too crazy.
当你开始的时候,你不会想到的是,所有进入你生活的人都想要了解你,而不是关心你的幸福。疯狂的日程安排是非常困难的。旅游看起来很有魅力,但它是艰难和累人的-旅行,见面和问候-这太疯狂了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
如果一个国家期望无知和自由,在文明的状态下,它期望的是过去和将来都不会发生的事情。
That’s the thing you never expect about grieving, what a competition it is.
这是你永远不会想到的悲伤,这是多么激烈的竞争啊。
I have lived my life that way and I expect the people who work for me to be the same way.
我就是这样生活的,我希望为我工作的人也和我一样。
