A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
花园
Garden
One does not lash hat lies at a distance. The foibles that we ridicule must at least be a little bit our own. Only then will the work be a part of our own flesh. The garden must be weeded.
没有人会把帽子绑在远处。我们嘲笑的缺点至少应该是我们自己的。只有这样,工作才会成为我们身体的一部分。花园必须除草。
In garden arrangement, as in all other kinds of decorative work, one has not only to acquire a knowledge of what to do, but also to gain some wisdom in perceiving what it is well to let alone.
在园林布置中,正如在所有其他种类的装饰工作中一样,一个人不仅要获得该做什么的知识,而且要在感知什么是最好的方面获得一些智慧。
I've found a place that would amaze you. People used to live there, but now it's all overgrown and no one goes there. Absolutely no one - only me... Just a little house and a garden. And two dogs.
我找到一个地方会让你大吃一惊。人们过去住在那里,但现在那里杂草丛生,没有人去那里。绝对没有人——只有我……只有一座小房子和一个花园。和两只狗。
The most noteworthy thing about gardeners is that they are always optimistic, always enterprising, and never satisfied. They always look forward to doing something better than they have ever done before.
关于园丁,最值得注意的是他们总是乐观,总是进取,从不满足。他们总是期待着做一些比以前更好的事情。
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
把爱放在心里。没有它的生活就像花儿凋零时没有阳光的花园。爱和被爱的意识给生活带来了其他任何东西都无法带来的温暖和丰富。
One of the most important resources that a garden makes available for use, is the gardener's own body. A garden gives the body the dignity of working in its own support. It is a way of rejoining the human race.
花园最重要的资源之一就是园丁自己的身体。花园给身体一种尊严,让它在自己的支持下工作。这是重新加入人类的一种方式。
On every stem, on every leaf ... and at the root of everything that grew, was a professional specialist in the shape of grub, caterpillar, aphis, or other expert, whose business it was to devour that particular part.
每一根茎,每一片叶……在万物生长的根源上,是一个以幼虫、毛虫、蚜虫或其他专家的形式出现的专业专家,他的工作就是吞噬这一特定的部分。
They say that gardens look better when they are created by loving gardeners rather than by landscapers, because the garden is more tended to and cared for. The same thing goes for cooking. I only cook for people I love.
他们说,如果花园是由热爱园艺的人而不是园艺师创造的,那么花园看起来会更好,因为花园更容易照料和照料。烹饪也是一样。我只给我爱的人做饭。
Gardening is a kind of disease. It infects you, you cannot escape it. When you go visiting, your eyes rove about the garden; you interrupt the serious cocktail drinking because of an irresistible impulse to get up and pull a weed.
园艺是一种疾病。它感染了你,你无法逃避。当你去参观时,你的眼睛会扫视花园;你打断了严肃的鸡尾酒会,因为你有一种不可抗拒的冲动,想站起来抽根草。
So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf, to make an apple-pie; and at the same time a great she-bear, coming up the street, pops its head into the shop. 'What! no soap?' So he died, and she very imprudently married the barber.
于是她到花园里去割一片卷心菜叶子,做一个苹果派。与此同时,一只巨大的母熊,从街上走来,一头扎进了商店。“什么!没有肥皂吗?他就这样死了,而她却轻率地嫁给了理发师。
A garden is a complex of aesthetic and plastic intentions; and the plant is, to a landscape artist, not only a plant - rare, unusual, ordinary or doomed to disappearance - but it is also a color, a shape, a volume or an arabesque in itself.
一个花园是一个审美和造型意图的综合体;对于景观艺术家来说,植物不仅是一种稀有的、不寻常的、普通的或注定要消失的植物,而且它本身也是一种颜色、一种形状、一个体量或一种阿拉伯风格。
Granny beads are what they're called when a grandma works the garden all day - you always see them - they have a handkerchief around their neck with a lot of dust on them, and then the sweat will go down and make these black beads of sweat and dirt around their neck. And that's what they call granny beads.
奶奶珠子是他们称之为整天当奶奶的花园——你总是看到他们——他们有一块手帕在脖子上有很多灰尘,然后出汗会下降,使这些黑色珠子的汗水和污垢在脖子上。这就是他们所说的奶奶珠。

Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.
任何让我们放慢脚步、迫使我们保持耐心的事情,任何让我们重新回到大自然的慢循环中的事情,都是有帮助的。园艺是优雅的工具。

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
把爱放在心里。没有它的生活就像花儿凋零时没有阳光的花园。
Presently we pass to some other object which rounds itself into a whole as did the first; for example, a well-laid garden; and nothing seems worth doing but the laying-out of gardens.
不久,我们又谈到另一个物体,它和第一个物体一样,把自己变成一个整体。例如,一个布局良好的花园;除了布置花园外,似乎没有什么值得做的。
