A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

回答

Answer

I would really hate it if I could call up Kafka or Hemingway or Salinger and any question I could throw at them they would have an answer. That's the magic when you read or hear something wonderful - there's no one that has all the answers.

如果我能给卡夫卡、海明威或塞林格打电话,我真的很讨厌,我能向他们提出的任何问题,他们都会有答案。这就是当你读到或听到一些美妙的东西时的魔力——没有人能给出所有的答案。

I'm rarely in a position where I can actually answer my phone without being rude to someone else. Sometimes I look back and realize it's been weeks since I've actually been alone. With texting, I can at least get a sense of what's going on without interrupting what I'm doing.

我很少能在接电话时不粗鲁地对待别人。有时候,当我回首往事时,我意识到我已经好几个星期没有独自一人了。通过发短信,我至少可以在不打断我正在做的事情的情况下对正在发生的事情有所了解。

Life is insanely robust, though we can make species go extinct, and this is the bad thing. So I always make the point that you can't say, 'Is it too late?' That is the terrible question, because either answer promotes inaction. If it's too late, you don't need to act; if it's not too late, you don't need to act.

尽管我们可以让物种灭绝,但生命是异常强健的,这是件坏事。所以我总是强调,你不能说,‘是不是太晚了?这是一个可怕的问题,因为任何一个答案都会导致无所作为。如果太晚了,你不需要采取行动;如果还不算太晚,你不需要采取行动。
