A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
非凡
Extraordinary
I had never been to a fashion show before going to the Burberry show last month. It was an extraordinary spectacle. I was incredibly green and had no idea what an undertaking it is. I also have a new respect for models because they are so close to the front row and must be so self-conscious.
在上个月参加巴宝莉时装秀之前,我从未参加过时装秀。这是一个非凡的场面。我非常环保,不知道这是什么事业。我对模特也有了新的敬意,因为她们离前排太近了,一定很有自我意识。
So one thing that I want to do is to make people realize that astronauts in general are very normal people. They are down to Earth, so to speak. I know it sounds contradictive, but we are very normal people. We are very normal people with a fantastic privilege and opportunity to do something that is extraordinary.
所以我想做的一件事就是让人们意识到宇航员通常都是非常正常的人。可以说,他们是脚踏实地的。我知道这听起来有些矛盾,但我们都是非常正常的人。我们都是非常普通的人,拥有非凡的特权和机会去做一些不寻常的事情。
KEEP EXPLORING

Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace.
小人物对非凡事物感兴趣;平凡中有伟大的人物。
The moral effect of the thundering of one's own artillery is most extraordinary, and many of us thought that we had never heard any more welcome sound than the deep roaring and crashing that started in at our rear.
