A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
财富
Fortune
A first-generation fortune is the most likely to be given away, but once a fortune is inherited it's less likely that a very high percentage will go back to society.
第一代财富最有可能被捐赠出去,但一旦继承了一笔财富,就不太可能有很高的比例回到社会。
If noble death be virtue's chiefest part, We above all men are by Fortune blest, Striving with freedom's crown to honor Greece, we died, and here in endless glory rest.
如果崇高的死亡是美德的最主要部分,那么我们比所有人都更幸运,我们带着自由的皇冠为希腊而奋斗,我们死了,在无尽的荣耀中安息。
From these inconsiderable attempts, some idea may be formed with what success, should Fortune afford an opportunity, I am likely to treat matters of greater importance.
从这些微不足道的尝试中,我可能会得出这样的结论:如果命运给我一个机会,我将获得怎样的成功?
I jumped off the wheel of fortune because I wanted to simplify things. Now I've fulfilled my obligations to myself by making my new record. I'd like it to sell millions of copies, but my self - worth is not based on chart positions.
我从幸运之轮上跳下来,因为我想把事情简单化。现在我已经完成了我对自己的责任,创造了我的新纪录。我希望它能卖出几百万本,但我的自我价值并不是建立在图表位置上的。
This ship was a league from us, and some of the men would have taken her, and I would not consent to it, and this Moore said I always hindered them making their fortunes. Was that not the reason I struck him? Was there a mutiny on board?
这艘船离我们只有一里路,有些人会把它抢走,而我是不会同意的。穆尔说,我总是阻碍他们发财致富。这不是我打他的原因吗?船上有兵变吗?
