A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
焦点
Focus
That's the thing that we said about the horn before: it's a focus issue. It's like a singer versus a drummer. If a drummer's playing a drum beat, and a singer starts singing, what do you think the audience is going to do?
这就是我们之前说过的喇叭:它是一个焦点问题。就像一个歌手和一个鼓手。如果一个鼓手在打鼓，一个歌手开始唱歌，你认为观众会怎么做?
That the more authoritarian organizations survive and prevail goes generally unnoticed because people focus on the objectives of organizations, which are many and varied, rather than on their structures, which lend to be similar.
更专制的组织能够生存下来并取得胜利，这一点通常没有引起注意，因为人们关注的是组织的目标，这些目标是多种多样的，而不是它们的结构，因为这些结构很相似。
My main efforts focussed on trying to identify the rate controlling steps during the cell cycle. Crucial for this analysis were wee mutants that were advanced prematurely through the cell cycle and so divided at a reduced cell size.
我的主要工作集中在确定细胞周期中的速率控制步骤。对这项分析至关重要的是微小的突变体，这些突变体在细胞周期中提前进入，因此分裂成较小的细胞。
That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.
这一直是我的座右铭之一——专注和简单。简单可能比复杂更难:你必须努力使你的思维清晰，使它变得简单。但最终它是值得的，因为一旦你到达那里，你就可以移动山脉。
What offends me the most when I hear criticisms about this so-called Africa bias is how quick we are to focus on the words and propaganda of a few powerful, influential individuals, and to forget about the millions of anonymous people who suffer from their crimes.
当我听到有人批评这种所谓的“非洲偏见”时，最让我恼火的是，我们很快就把注意力集中在少数有权势、有影响力的人的言论和宣传上，而忘记了数百万因犯罪而受苦的匿名人士。
I think getting married gave me a focus. It gave me a focus and direction I want to have in my life. And I think having another person that you make such a purposeful bond with has given me the opportunity to see how that can be with all the other aspects of my life.
我想结婚给了我一个焦点。它给了我一个重点和方向，我想在我的生活。我认为，有另一个人与你建立了如此有目的的联系，这给了我一个机会，让我看到我生活的其他方面是如何做到的。
Isn't that the great thing about Christmas? You get a lot of respite, time to recharge your batteries, time with family without too much else happening anywhere else in the world, time to focus on the people you love and the activities that you enjoy, time to exercise, to read.
这不是圣诞节最棒的事情吗?你得到了很多喘息的机会，有时间给自己充电，有时间和家人在一起，而不是世界上其他地方发生太多事情，有时间专注于你爱的人和你喜欢的活动，有时间锻炼和阅读。
There's not a lot of room anymore for what I call 'made-up' drama. The drama comes from real places now - marriage takes work and focus, the kid stuff takes patience and commitment. And if you don't grow as people and as a couple, within all of that, then you've got some real drama.
我所谓的“虚构”戏剧已经没有多少空间了。现在，戏剧来自真实的地方——婚姻需要工作和专注，孩子需要耐心和承诺。如果你不能像一个人或一对夫妻那样成长，那么你就有了真正的戏剧性。
It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies.
现在应该很清楚，我在这里的重点不是言论自由或新闻自由。这种自由常常被夸大了。至少，对言论自由或新闻自由的盲目引用会分散人们对其他传播政策的批判性审查。
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.
接受一个想法。让这个想法成为你的生活——想它，梦想它，生活在这个想法上。让你的大脑，肌肉，神经，身体的每一部分都充满这种想法，不要去想其他的想法。这就是成功之道，伟大的精神巨人就是这样产生的。
To inspire a singularity of focus, a challenge must be important to you and it must be something you feel you should do now in this moment. If it's trivial or not time-bound, you won't engage. So in selecting your next challenge in life, choose one that is meaningful and will demand your complete concentration.
要激发你的专注力，挑战对你来说一定很重要，它必须是你现在就应该做的事情。如果是小事或者没有时间限制，你就不会参与。因此，在选择人生中的下一个挑战时，选择一个有意义的挑战，它需要你全身心的投入。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I'm going to let myself off the hook, because if there's one thing that is not my focus at the moment, it's how much I weigh.
我要让自己摆脱困境，因为如果有一件事不是我现在关注的，那就是我的体重。
You help families focus on the future through their children.
你帮助家庭通过他们的孩子关注未来。
It is time for us to turn a corner and come together, put our differences behind us and focus on the future.
现在是我们走出困境，走到一起，把分歧抛诸脑后，着眼未来的时候了。
When things feel like they're not working out, focus on what's working right.

Life is like a camera lens. Focus only on what's important and you will capture it perfectly.
生活就像照相机的镜头。只关注重要的事情，你就能完美地抓住它。
That's the way I look at things - if you focus on the worst case scenario and it happens, you've lived it twice. It sounds like Pollyanna-ish tripe but I'm telling you - it works for me.
这就是我看待事情的方式——如果你关注最坏的情况，它发生了，你已经经历过两次了。这听起来像是盲目乐观，但我告诉你，这对我很有效。
