A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
焦虑
Anxiety
I think there's an anxiety in life where we automatically tend to look to the next thing or we're complaining about the past. Worrying is not going to make it happen or not happen.
我认为生活中有一种焦虑，我们会不由自主地关注下一件事，或者抱怨过去。担心不会让它发生，也不会让它不发生。
Even during the rationing period, during World War II, we didn't have the anxiety that we'd starve, because we grew our own potatoes, you know? And our own hogs, and our own cows and stuff, you know.
即使在配给时期，在二战期间，我们也不担心会饿死，因为我们自己种土豆，你知道吗?还有我们自己的猪，我们自己的牛等等。
I have thought sometimes that the sanest people, the people who are just very balanced, very happy, are probably lower achieving than other people. My kind of irrationality happens to be fear or anxiety.
我有时想，最理智的人，那些非常平衡、非常快乐的人，可能比其他人的成就要低。我的非理性恰好是恐惧或焦虑。
In sharp contrast to the idea that this stage of life is enviable, we hear high levels of anxiety about getting old, anxieties about health, mobility, access to facilities, simple routine care and attention.
与人生这个阶段令人羡慕的想法形成鲜明对比的是，我们听到人们对变老感到高度焦虑，对健康、机动性、设施的可及性、简单的日常护理和关注感到焦虑。
Incidentally, one of the most worrying problems in the impact of Western modernity on traditional culture is that it quite rapidly communicates its own indifference or anxiety or even hostility about age and ageing.
顺便提一句，西方现代性对传统文化影响中最令人担忧的问题之一是，它相当迅速地传达出自己对年龄和老龄化的冷漠、焦虑甚至敌意。
My mother speaks of my step being a source of life-long pain to her, that it is a living death, etc. By the same post I had several letters from anxious relatives, telling me that it was my duty to come home and thus ease my mother's anxiety.
我母亲说我的脚步声是她终生痛苦的源泉，是活生生的死亡，等等。在同一岗位上，我收到了几封焦急的亲戚的来信，他们告诉我，我有责任回家，这样就能减轻母亲的焦虑。
That's one of the reasons I wanted to be an actor, to be like them. And there they were at my table, all talking about how nervous they were, about the lines, and so forth. No matter how big you get, you still have the same kinds of anxieties and so forth.
这就是我想成为一名演员的原因之一，像他们一样。他们坐在我的桌旁，都在谈论他们有多紧张，谈论台词，等等。不管你变得多大，你仍然有同样的焦虑等等。
Working moms commonly testify that they feel guilty when they are away from their children and guilty when they are not at their jobs. Devoted fathers certainly miss their children deeply, but it does not seem to be with the same gnawing, primal anxiety that often afflicts women.
职业母亲通常会证明，当她们离开孩子时，她们会感到内疚;当她们不工作时，她们会感到内疚。忠诚的父亲们当然非常想念他们的孩子，但这似乎与折磨女性的那种折磨人的原始焦虑不同。

It's a whole different kind of anxiety. But the great thing about doing a theatre job is that once the ball starts rolling you just have to go with it, it's inexorable.
这是一种完全不同的焦虑。但是，做一名戏剧工作的好处是，一旦事情开始发展，你就必须随波逐流，这是不可阻挡的。
