A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
期待
Expecting
When someone starts expecting you to be there for them; instead of appreciating you for being there with them, it's time for a change.
当有人开始期待你在他们身边;与其感激你和他们在一起,不如改变一下。
I have been vain since birth. I expected other people to like what I did, although my vanity has definitely diminished over the years.

A lot of places we go, when they see the organ coming in, they're expecting rock and roll, but after they hear us play they like it. To me, guitar cuts through-it carries more than organ. But organ has got more guts.
我们去的很多地方,当他们看到管风琴进来的时候,他们期待的是摇滚乐,但是当他们听到我们演奏后,他们就喜欢了。对我来说,吉他很有穿透力——它承载的不仅仅是风琴。但是器官有更多的勇气。
Of course voting is useful. But then again, I don't put a big glow to it. Voting is about as essential as washing yourself. It's something you're supposed to do. Now, you can't go around bragging, expecting to get props because you voted. That's stupid.
当然投票是有用的。不过话说回来,我并没有给它太大的亮点。投票就像洗澡一样重要。这是你应该做的。现在,你不能到处吹嘘,指望得到支持,因为你投票了。这是愚蠢的。
The team camaraderie we built, guys knowing their roles and not expecting too much from themselves, has helped. Guys are not getting ahead of themselves and they're understanding what's expected of them at every position. It's made everybody's job easier. That's what's made us a better football team.
我们建立的团队友爱,知道自己的角色,对自己不抱太高期望,帮助了我们。男人不会超越自己,他们知道自己在每个位置上应该做什么。它使每个人的工作都变得更容易。这使我们成为一支更好的足球队。
