A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
傻瓜
Fool
Men may change their climate, but they cannot change their nature. A man that goes out a fool cannot ride or sail himself into common sense.
人类可以改变他们的气候,但不能改变他们的本性。一个出去当傻瓜的人,既不能骑马,也不能航海,使自己进入常识。
To succeed in the world, it is much more necessary to possess the penetration to discern who is a fool, than to discover who is a clever man.
要想在这个世界上取得成功,要有洞察力去辨别谁是傻瓜,要比发现谁是聪明人重要得多。
Three things have been difficult to tame: the oceans, fools and women. We may soon be able to tame the oceans; fools and women will take a little longer.
有三样东西是很难驯服的:海洋、傻瓜和女人。我们也许不久就能驯服海洋;傻瓜和女人需要更长的时间。
When I was much younger, I sometimes felt rejected by feminists because of an image that I sold because it paid the bills. Any fool could tell my hair is dyed.
当我年轻得多的时候,我有时觉得自己被女权主义者拒绝了,因为我卖掉了一张照片,因为它能帮我付账单。任何傻瓜都看得出我的头发染了。
Anyone who has passed though the regular gradations of a classical education, and is not made a fool by it, may consider himself as having had a very narrow escape.
凡是通过了正规的古典教育的等级考试而没有被它愚弄的人,可能会认为自己是死里逃生。
With age, you see people fail more. You see yourself fail more. How do you keep that fearlessness of a kid? You keep going. Luckily, I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself.
随着年龄的增长,你会看到更多的人失败。你看到自己失败得更多。你如何保持一个孩子的无畏?你继续。幸运的是,我不怕出洋相。
My ears won't fool me. Even when I do a session on digital, we still warm it up somewhere in the process, in mastering or mixing, running the signal through some tubes somewhere.
我的耳朵骗不了我。即使当我在做一个关于数字的课程时,我们仍然在这个过程的某个地方使它升温,在控制或混合的过程中,在某个地方通过一些管道运行信号。
True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.
真正的智慧与其说是自以为是,不如说是愚蠢。智慧人屡次疑惑,就改变心意。愚妄人固执,不疑惑。除了自己的无知,他什么都知道。
Let that which stood in front go behind, let that which was behind advance to the front, let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions, let the old propositions be postponed.
从前站在前的,当退到后;从前站在后的,当进到前。顽固的人,愚顽的人,污秽的人,当推陈出新。
To be able to write a play a man must be sensitive, imaginative, naive, gullible, passionate; he must be something of an imbecile, something of a poet, something of a liar, something of a damn fool.
要能写剧本,一个人必须敏感、富于想象力、天真、易受骗、热情;他一定是个低能儿,诗人,说谎者,一个该死的傻瓜。
People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.
人是由你塑造的。轻蔑的目光会使一个智力一般的人变成一个十足的傻瓜。一种轻蔑的冷漠变成了敌人,一个女人,如果受到良好的对待,可能会成为天使。
Leadership can't be fabricated. If it is fabricated and rehearsed, you can't fool the guys in the locker room. So when you talk about leadership, it comes with performance. Leadership comes with consistency.
领导能力是不可伪造的。如果这是捏造和排练的,你不可能骗过更衣室里的人。所以当你谈论领导力时,它伴随着表现。领导力来自一致性。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Any fool can have bad luck; the art consists in knowing how to exploit it.
任何傻瓜都可能倒霉;艺术在于知道如何利用它。
He's a fool that marries, but he's a greater that does not marry a fool; what is wit in a wife good for, but to make a man a cuckold?
结了婚的是傻瓜,不娶傻瓜的人更伟大;妻子的聪明除了使男人戴上绿帽子外,还有什么用呢?
Whenever I go to work I wear a jacket and a tie, because I'm inherently quite lazy, and my books take so long to do, and my publishers don't bug me, so it's so easy to fool yourself into thinking you're working harder than you really are.
我每次上班都穿夹克打领带,因为我天生就很懒,我的书要花很长时间才能完成,我的出版商也不烦我,所以很容易让自己误以为自己比实际工作更努力。
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

A fool and his money are soon parted.
傻瓜和他的钱很快就会分开。
