A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
远
Far
Alchemy is the art of far and near, and I think poetry is alchemy in that way. It's delightful to distort size, to see something that's tiny as though it were vast.
炼金术是远近的艺术，我认为诗歌就是这样的炼金术。扭曲大小是一件很开心的事，看到一个很小的东西，就像它是巨大的一样。
It was less a literary thing than a linguistic, philosophical preoccupation... discovering how far you can go with language to create immediate, elementary experience.
与其说这是一件文学作品，不如说这是一种语言和哲学上的专注……发现你可以在多大程度上使用语言来创造即时的、基本的体验。
You see, we are here, as far as I can tell, to help each other; our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our enemies. That is to help each other and not hurt each other.
你看，就我所知，我们在这里是为了互相帮助;我们的兄弟姐妹，我们的朋友，我们的敌人。那就是互相帮助，而不是互相伤害。
As far as I know, you only get one shot at this life. It only goes round once and time is precious. When I'm not working, you'd better spend that time with someone important.
据我所知，你今生只有一次机会。它只转一圈，时间是宝贵的。我不工作的时候，你最好把时间花在重要的人身上。
As far as more recognition goes, I am happy with the amount of love and respect I have received from other artists and the public. Of course, I would love more, and think I deserve it.
就更多的认可而言，我对其他艺术家和公众给予我的爱和尊重感到高兴。当然，我想要更多的爱，我认为这是我应得的。
I'm dubious about having Social Security put into the stock market. I think that we have gotten very far away from the idea that there's something sacrosanct about retirement investments.

The initial motivation of the experiment which led to this discovery was a subconscious feeling for the inexhaustible wealth of nature, a wealth that goes far beyond the imagination of man.
导致这一发现的实验的最初动机是对大自然无穷无尽的财富的一种潜意识的感觉，这种财富远远超出了人类的想象。
Less really is more. It's a tendency of beginning writers to want to prove what they're talking about by going too far with description. I think you've got to keep it short, crisp and clean.
少即是多。这是一种趋势，开始的作家想要证明他们所谈论的，通过过分的描述。我认为你必须保持它的短，脆和干净。
It is the work of fancy to enlarge, but of judgment to shorten and contract; and therefore this must be as far above the other as judgment is a greater and nobler faculty than fancy or imagination.
扩大乃是想象的工作，缩小乃是判断的工作。因此，这一点必须远远高于另一方面，因为判断是一种比想象或想象更伟大、更高贵的能力。
As far as starting or not starting, that means more to some players than others. And if it means more to someone else, I think you should let them start and just go out there and do your job when it's your turn.
至于首发与否，这对一些球员来说比其他人更重要。如果这对其他人来说意味着更多，我认为你应该让他们开始，当轮到你的时候，让他们去做你的工作。
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
远方的朋友有时比身边的朋友更亲密。这山岂不是比住在山上的人，更使人敬畏，看得更清楚吗?
To me a real patriot is like a real friend. Who's your real friend? It's the person who tells you the truth. That's who my real friends are. So, you know, I think as far as our country goes, we need more people who will do that.
对我来说，一个真正的爱国者就像一个真正的朋友。谁是你真正的朋友?是那个告诉你真相的人。这才是我真正的朋友。所以，你知道，我认为就我们的国家而言，我们需要更多这样做的人。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

在婚姻中，你不能试图去结婚。你结婚了还是没结婚…就我而言。
The novel is the highest form of human expression so far attained. Why? Because it is so incapable of the absolute.
小说是迄今为止人类表达的最高形式。为什么？因为它无法做到绝对。

The Good Humor man can only be pushed so far.
