A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
名声
Fame
Wealth, beauty, and fame are transient. When those are gone, little is left except the need to be useful.
财富、美貌和名望都是转瞬即逝的。当这些都没有了,就只剩下有用的东西了。
When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.
当你是一个演员,你当然想要一个观众,但这与追求名声是非常、非常不同的。
All the work built my fame and certainly made me more money, but the toll it took in my home was not good.
所有的工作都让我名声鹊起,当然也让我赚了更多的钱,但我在家里付出的代价并不好。
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give; when to this truth you waken then you begin to live.
名誉是你得到的,品格是你给予的;当你对这个真理觉醒时,你才开始生活。
I think it's easy for people to assume that fame is equal to glory, but it can be a very isolating experience.
我认为人们很容易认为名誉等同于荣耀,但这可能是一种非常孤立的体验。
He who would acquire fame must not show himself afraid of censure. The dread of censure is the death of genius.
要想出名,就不要害怕别人的指责。对责难的恐惧等于天才的死亡。
You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments, or publicity.
一旦你对金钱、赞美或宣传不感兴趣,你就已经达到了成功的顶峰。
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
烈士不能受辱。每一鞭都是名誉的舌头;每座监狱都有一个更辉煌的住所。
It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.
遗憾的是,我并不像人们说的那么优秀,因为这个世界可能需要几个这样的人。
Fame has also this great drawback, that if we pursue it, we must direct our lives so as to please the fancy of men.
声誉也有一个很大的缺点,如果我们追求它,我们必须指导我们的生活,以满足人们的幻想。
To arrive at a just estimate of a renowned man's character one must judge it by the standards of his time, not ours.
要对一个著名人物的性格作出公正的评价,就必须以他所处时代的标准,而不是以我们这个时代的标准来判断。
Fame is fickle and i know it. It has its compensations, but it also has its drawbacks and i've experienced them both.
名声是善变的,我知道这一点。它有它的补偿,但也有它的缺点,我都经历过。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn't know.
名人是一个被许多人认识的人,他很高兴他不认识。
Humbled by the fact that never in a million years would I ever thought that I would be on the same stage with all these great Hall of Famers and enshrined to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
名誉是易变的盘子里的食物。

Fame is a magnifying glass.
名誉是放大镜。
If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.
如果一个人能在生与死之间架起一座桥梁,如果他能在死后继续活下去,那么他也许是一个伟大的人。
