A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
动物
Animal
When man learns to understand and control his own behavior as well as he is learning to understand and control the behavior of crop plants and domestic animals, he may be justified in believing that he has become civilized.
当人类学习理解和控制自己的行为,就像他学习理解和控制农作物和家畜的行为一样,他就有理由相信自己已经变得文明了。
If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.
如果我们仅仅因为野兽不能阻止我们,因为我们在为生存而斗争中支持自己的一方,那么出于同样的原因而把蠢货、罪犯、敌人或资本家斩了,也就合乎逻辑了。
If you're buying animal products and can go to the farm and actually see how the animals are looked after, yes, that's an important point. That's definitely the best way of assuring yourself that the animals are being well treated.
如果你在购买动物产品,可以去农场看看动物是如何被照顾的,这一点很重要。这绝对是确保你自己的动物得到良好对待的最好方法。
Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.
障碍就像野兽。他们是懦夫,但如果可能,他们会吓唬你的。如果他们看到你害怕他们……他们很可能向你扑来;但是如果你直视他们的眼睛,他们就会溜走。
I am in the process of starting a nonprofit organization that gives rescued animals a home in a simulated wild environment and, for those who have been tested on, who are disabled, aggressive, etc., their own space to live out their days.
我正在创建一个非盈利组织,为获救的动物在模拟的野外环境中提供一个家,并为那些经过测试的、残疾的、有攻击性的等等,提供他们自己的空间来度过他们的日子。
My live sound does not work in the studio, which is a completely different animal. Every little thing is detrimental to the sound. And if someone moves a mic, you've lost it. It's pretty much a case of 'lock the door and set up a police line.'
我的现场声音不能在录音室里播放,那是一个完全不同的动物。每一件小事都对声音有害。如果有人移动了麦克风,你就把它弄丢了。这就像“锁上门,设置警戒线”。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Give to a pig when it grunts and a child when it cries , and you will have a fine pig and a bad child.
当猪咕噜咕噜叫时,你给它钱;当孩子哭时,你给他钱,你就会有一头好猪和一个坏孩子。
In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.
在人类(以及动物)的漫长历史中,那些学会了最有效地合作和即兴发挥的人占了上风。
The spirit or life spark which animates this manifestation could be called God.
激发这种显现的精神或生命火花可以被称为上帝。
If dogs could talk it would take a lot of the fun out of owning one.
如果狗会说话,养狗就会失去很多乐趣。
What would you expect from an ass but a kick?
除了一脚,你还能指望从驴身上得到什么?
When my cats aren't happy, I'm not happy. Not because I care about their mood but because I know they're just sitting there thinking up ways to get even.
当我的猫不开心时,我也不开心。不是因为我在乎他们的情绪,而是因为我知道他们只是坐在那里想办法报复。
