A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
忙
Favor
Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them.
不要寻求大众的喜爱;它很少是通过诚实合法的手段获得的。只寻求少数人的见证;不要给声音编号,而要给它们称重。
Favor comes because for a brief moment in the great space of human change and progress some general human purpose finds in him a satisfactory embodiment.
因为在人类变化和进步的伟大空间里,有一段短暂的时间,某些人类的普遍目标在他身上得到了令人满意的体现。
The North African mule talks always of his mother's brother, the horse, but never of his father, the donkey, in favor of others supposedly more reputable.
北非的骡子总是谈论他母亲的兄弟马,但从不谈论他的父亲驴,而更喜欢那些据说更有名望的人。
The more aware a man is of a woman's body, the better. He needs to know he has to tend to a woman. She might not always return the favor, but a man always has to tend to a woman first.
男人对女人的身体越了解越好。他需要知道他必须照顾一个女人。她可能不会总是回报,但男人总是要先照顾女人。
Pitchers did me a favor when they knocked me down. It made me more determined. I wouldn't let that pitcher get me out. They say you can't hit if you're on your back, but I didn't hit on my back. I got up.
投手们把我撞倒时帮了我一个忙。这让我更加坚定。我不会让那个投手把我救出来的。他们说如果你仰面躺着就打不了人,但我没有。我起床。
I'm in favor of building the fence, and doing everything technologically to protect our borders. But the other way to secure the border, and one of the things we must do, is put in place good guest-worker programs that employers can actually use.
我赞成修建围墙,并采取一切技术手段来保护我们的边界。但另一种确保边境安全的方法,也是我们必须做的事情之一,是实施雇主可以实际使用的良好的外来务工人员计划。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
