A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
傻瓜
Fool
I was out dancing with one actress or another. And that got press. Even when it didn't, the whole town knew I was a dancing fool, and since I couldn't very well dance with a man, they saw me dancing with a lady, and they assumed the rest.
我和一个或另一个女演员出去跳舞。这引起了媒体的关注。即使没有，全镇的人都知道我是一个跳舞的傻瓜，因为我不能很好地与一个男人跳舞，他们看到我与一个女人跳舞，他们认为其余的。
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。
As a social good, I think privacy is greatly overrated because privacy basically means concealment. People conceal things in order to fool other people about them. They want to appear healthier than they are, smarter, more honest and so forth.
作为一种社会公益，我认为隐私被严重高估了，因为隐私基本上意味着隐藏。人们隐瞒事情是为了愚弄别人。他们想表现得比自己更健康，更聪明，更诚实等等。
I am content with nothing, restless and ambitious... and I despise myself for the vanity, which formed half the stimulus to my exertions. Oh would that I were one of those plodding wise fools who having once set their hand to the plough go on nothing doubting.
我什么都不满足，躁动不安，野心勃勃……我鄙视自己的虚荣心，虚荣心是我努力的一半动力。啊，但愿我是那些曾经着手犁地的迟钝而又聪明的傻瓜之一，什么也不怀疑。
Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
许多政治家习惯于把它作为一个不言自明的命题，即在人们能够充分利用他们的自由之前，没有人应该是自由的。这句格言就像古老故事里的傻瓜，他决定在学会游泳之前不下水。
It's very easy to fool yourself that you're working, you know, when you're really not working very hard. I mean, I'm very lazy. So for me, I would always have an excuse, you know, to go - quit early, go to a museum, you know. So I do everything I can to make myself remember this is a job. I keep a schedule.
你知道，当你真的不怎么努力工作的时候，你很容易欺骗自己你在工作。我是说，我很懒。所以对我来说，我总是有借口，你知道，早点辞职，去博物馆，你知道。所以我尽我所能让自己记住这是一份工作。我有一个时间表。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Neither give cherries to pigs nor advice to a fool.
不要给猪樱桃，也不要给傻瓜忠告。
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.
如果一开始你没有成功，尝试，再尝试。然后退出。做个傻瓜是没有意义的。
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。
Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.
永远不要和傻瓜争论，旁观者可能看不出其中的区别。
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。
The cleverest of all, in my opinion, is the man who calls himself a fool at least once a month.
在我看来，最聪明的人是那些一个月至少称自己为傻瓜的人。
