Figure
The tough thing about radio is I've met a lot of people in it who like my music. But it's hard for them to figure out how to play what they like when there's somebody up above them yelling 'you have to play this.'
电台的困难之处在于我遇到了很多喜欢我音乐的人。但当有人在他们上方大喊“你必须这样做”时,他们就很难想出该如何演奏自己喜欢的曲子了。
The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom... in a clarification of life - not necessarily a great clarification, such as sects and cults are founded on, but in a momentary stay against confusion.
诗歌所塑造的形象。它开始于快乐,结束于智慧……在对生命的澄清中——不一定是一个伟大的澄清,如教派和邪教是建立在基础上的,而是对混乱的短暂停留。
A non-fiction writer pretty much has the shape of the figure in front of him or her and goes about refining it. A work of non-fiction is not as difficult to write as a work of fiction, but it's not as satisfying in the end.
一个非小说作家在他或她面前有一个人物的形状,并不断完善它。一部非小说作品并不像小说作品那么难写,但它最终并没有那么令人满意。
My task over the last two years hasn't just been to stop the bleeding. My task has also been to try to figure out how do we address some of the structural problems in the economy that have prevented more Googles from being created.
过去两年我的任务不仅仅是止血。我的任务也一直是试图找出我们如何解决经济中的一些结构性问题,这些问题阻止了更多的谷歌被创建出来。
I love shooting, when the character is interesting and the script is interesting, but the research beforehand is really fun. The whole process makes me anxious and restless, and I have trouble sleeping, just trying to figure out the character.
我喜欢拍摄,当角色和剧本都很有趣的时候,但事先的研究真的很有趣。整个过程让我焦虑不安,我无法入睡,只是想弄明白这个角色。
If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
如果你想要达到目标,就会遇到障碍。我有他们。每个人都有过。但障碍并不能阻止你。如果你遇到一堵墙,不要转身放弃。想办法爬上去,穿过它,或者绕过它。
Children, a lot of times, can't make their parents wrong because they have to live with them, because they have to love them. And when you're young, you can't get on your Big Wheel and go down to the Best Western. You've got to live there and you've got to figure it out.
很多时候,孩子不能让他们的父母犯错,因为他们必须和他们一起生活,因为他们必须爱他们。当你年轻的时候,你不能骑着你的大轮子去看最好的西部片。你必须住在那里,你必须弄清楚。
Men there have been who have done the essayist's part so well as to have earned an immortality in the doing; but we have had not many of them, and they make but a poor figure on our shelves. It is a pity that things should be thus with us, for a good essayist is the pleasantest companion imaginable.
有些人把散文家的部分写得很好,因而在这一过程中获得了不朽的成就;但是我们没有很多这样的书,它们在我们的书架上只占一个可怜的数字。遗憾的是,事情竟如此发展,因为一位优秀的散文家是你能想象到的最愉快的伴侣。

I think I felt that I was very well known for my figure and needed to keep that up for my work. And I regret all of it. I felt fraudulent and very shameful.
