A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
朋友
Friends
I was away from the front lines for a while this spring, living with other troops, and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them.
今年春天，我离开前线有一段时间，和其他部队住在一起，在我离开的时候发生了很多战斗。当我准备回到前线的老朋友们身边时，我不知道自己是否能感觉到他们身上有什么变化。
My friends, history, history calls us to this time and to this place. A solemn choice rests with us - where do we go from here? Do we move slowly and incrementally? Or do we seize the challenge of our time and tackle the great issues of our day.
我的朋友们，历史，历史召唤我们来到此时此地。摆在我们面前的是一个庄严的选择——我们将何去何从?我们的行动是否缓慢而渐进?还是我们要抓住时代的挑战，解决我们今天的重大问题?
No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not work those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself.
没有人因为把别人往下拉而达到很高的境界。聪明的商人不会打败他的竞争对手。明智的工人不为与他一起工作的人工作。不要攻击你的朋友。不要攻击你的敌人。不要把你自己。
For my part, I confess I seldom listen to the players: one has so much to do, in looking about and finding out one's acquaintance, that, really, one has no time to mind the stage. One merely comes to meet one's friends, and show that one's alive.
就我个人而言，我承认我很少听演员的演奏。一个人要四处张望，找出自己的熟人，有许多事情要做，所以他真的没有时间去注意舞台。一个人只是来见他的朋友，并表示他还活着。
To whom, then, must I dedicate my wonderful, surprising and interesting adventures? to whom dare I reveal my private opinion of my nearest relations? the secret thoughts of my dearest friends? my own hopes, fears, reflections and dislikes? Nobody!
那么，我必须把我的奇妙、惊奇和有趣的冒险故事献给谁呢?我竟敢向谁透露我对我的至亲的私人看法呢?我最亲爱的朋友们的秘密想法?我自己的希望、恐惧、反思和厌恶?没有人!
The crew are the faces you see every morning and last at night before you go home. I spend more time with those people than I do with my friends and family, so they're forever a part of you and who you become as an actor so I hope I see them again.
船员是你每天早上和晚上回家前看到的面孔。我花更多的时间和这些人在一起，而不是和我的朋友和家人在一起，所以他们永远是你的一部分，你会成为一个什么样的演员，所以我希望我能再次见到他们。
I've had lots of friends who've gone through 'Battlefield' situations in their relationships, so when I was singing the song I put myself in their position and tried to imagine what they were going through. I got so, so into it and I think you can tell.
我有很多朋友都经历过恋爱中的“战场”，所以当我唱这首歌的时候，我把自己放在他们的位置上，试着想象他们在经历什么。我太投入了，我想你能看出来。
I don't worry about it because we are all growing old. If I were the only one I would worry. But we're all in the same boat, and all of my friends are coming with me. We all go toward old age. How many years left we don't know. We just have to accept it.
我不担心，因为我们都在变老。如果我是唯一一个我会担心的人。但是我们大家处境相同，我所有的朋友都跟我一起去。我们都在走向老年。我们不知道还有多少年。我们必须接受它。
I have a lot of friends who are infected with HIV, and you wanna protect them... To increase the awareness of it and to find a cure for it, the human lives we would save would be a really awesome thing. You just have to involve yourself as much as you can.
我有很多朋友都感染了艾滋病，你想保护他们……为了提高人们对它的认识并找到治愈它的方法，我们将拯救的人类生命将是一件非常了不起的事情。你只需要尽可能多地参与其中。
There are numerous bugbears in the profession of a politician. First, ordinary life suffers. Second, there are many temptations to ruin you and those around you. And I suppose third, and this is rarely discussed, people at the top generally have no friends.
在政治家的职业中有许多令人担忧的事情。首先，平凡的生活是痛苦的。其次，有很多诱惑会毁了你和你周围的人。我认为第三，这一点很少被讨论，高层人士通常没有朋友。
To be honest, when I'm home, every day is a Friday for me. It doesn't really matter what day it is for me. A lot of my friends actually have time off during the week, and so it doesn't prohibit me from enjoying myself when I am home on a Monday or a Tuesday.
老实说，当我在家的时候，每天对我来说都是星期五。今天是星期几对我来说并不重要。事实上，我的很多朋友在一周中都有时间休息，所以这并不妨碍我在周一或周二在家享受自己。
Why my interest in writers? Well, I'm one, and many of my friends are writers. I know what it's like to write. I'm interested in the creative process. I'm fascinated by the disparity between who we are on the outside, and what we have bubbling away inside us.
为什么我对作家感兴趣?我就是其中之一，我的很多朋友都是作家。我知道写作是什么感觉。我对创作过程很感兴趣。我着迷于外在的我们和内在的我们之间的差异。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
