A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
任何东西
Anything
I'm not sure why writing for others became harder. Probably a reluctance to give away anything you might conceivably use yourself caused a block. I did it, but it remained hard when it had once been easy.
我不知道为什么为别人写作变得越来越难。可能是不愿意放弃任何你可能会用到的东西造成了阻塞。我做到了，但当它曾经是容易的时候，它仍然是困难的。
I remember telling the agent, 'I don't want to do anything but Broadway.' She was like, 'That's not really possible because there is not that much Broadway. So I'll send you out on TV and stuff like that.'
我记得我告诉经纪人，‘除了百老汇，我什么都不想做。她说，那不太可能，因为百老汇没有那么多。所以我会让你上电视之类的节目。”
If the Almighty were to rebuild the world and asked me for advice, I would have English Channels round every country. And the atmosphere would be such that anything which attempted to fly would be set on fire.
如果万能的上帝要重建世界并向我寻求建议，我将在每个国家开设英语频道。大气层会是这样，任何试图飞起来的东西都会被点燃。
We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from... Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.
我们不能设想物质是无中生有的，因为事物需要一粒种子从……因此，没有什么东西会归于虚无，而是所有的东西都回归到它们的元素中去了。
Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you don't collect all these tiny successes, the big ones don't really mean anything.
生活是由微小的快乐组成的。幸福是由那些微小的成功组成的。大地震来的太不频繁了。如果你不把这些小的成功都收集起来，那么大的成功就没有任何意义。
But I don't really care for directors flaring up and trying to humble some actor, which they would do to try and make an example out of them so everybody else would stay on the ball - and David wasn't anything like that.
但是我真的不喜欢导演们大发雷霆，试图贬低一些演员，他们会这样做，试图让他们成为榜样，这样其他人就会保持警惕——而大卫不是那种人。
I've always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way and you've got to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles on route to whatever it is that you want to accomplish.
我总是发现任何值得实现的事情总会有障碍，你必须有动力和决心去克服这些障碍，朝着你想要实现的目标前进。
There are a lot of editorials that have nothing to do with anything like that. But I was just thinking of that sense of prose as being very responsible and perceptive, thoughtful, intimate, and contriving a quote statement.
有很多社论都与这类事情无关。但我只是认为这种散文的感觉是非常负责任的，有洞察力的，有思想的，亲密的，和构思一个引用声明。
I don't know how much influence we really had, because we never put our pictures on the albums or anything and we never really promoted the Talking Heads connection, because we wanted to keep it separate from Talking Heads.
我不知道我们真的有多大的影响力，因为我们从来没有把我们的照片放在相册或其他东西上，我们从来没有真正促进过“会说话的脑袋”的联系，因为我们想要把它和“会说话的脑袋”分开。
Superheroes fill a gap in the pop culture psyche, similar to the role of Greek mythology. There isn't really anything else that does the job in modern terms. For me, Batman is the one that can most clearly be taken seriously.
超级英雄填补了流行文化心理的空白，类似于希腊神话中的角色。从现代的角度来看，没有任何其他东西能真正做到这一点。对我来说，蝙蝠侠是最值得认真对待的。
I am not going to make any commitments to the teachers union to do anything until they do something that's other than in their own self- interest. And everything they have done so far is in their self-interests, and that's it.
我不打算对教师工会做出任何承诺，除非他们做一些不符合他们自身利益的事情。到目前为止，他们所做的一切都是为了自己的利益，仅此而已。
That area environmentally is a waste. You can't do anything. I don't care if the Sierra Club goes out there. It is fully polluted! You're not only going to work to clean up the environment, but also you will put people to work.
那个地区对环境是一种浪费。你什么也做不了。我不在乎塞拉俱乐部是否会去那里。它完全被污染了!你不仅要工作来清洁环境，而且要让人们工作。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
We didn't do anything wrong... Some are frustrated that we did it this way.
我们没做错什么…有些人对我们这样做感到沮丧。
Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.
有些人永远学不到任何东西，因为他们理解一切太快。
I don't design cars. I'm not a designer. I know what I desire to be built, I know what the end result is, the horsepower, the competition we'll be working against - but I leave it to the people who work with me to put it all together. I don't do anything.
我不设计汽车。我不是设计师。我知道我想要什么，我知道最终的结果是什么，马力，我们将要面对的竞争——但是我把这一切留给和我一起工作的人去完成。我什么都不做。
I went out with people, but never anything too serious. It wasn't that easy. Now it's something I'm really looking forward to.
我和别人约会，但从不太认真。这并不容易。现在我真的很期待。
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
没有改变，进步是不可能的，那些不能改变自己想法的人，什么也改变不了。
Give me a child and I'll shape him into anything.
给我一个孩子，我会把他塑造成任何东西。
