A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
得到
Getting
I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me - spiritually and financially
我下定决心要彻底戒掉酗酒和任何可能妨碍我身心健康的事情。善良的闸门已经向我敞开——精神上和经济上
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。
Picasso's always been such a huge influence that I thought when I started the cartoon paintings that I was getting away from Picasso, and even my cartoons of Picasso were done almost to rid myself of his influence.
毕加索对我的影响是如此之大,以至于当我开始画漫画的时候,我想我正在远离毕加索,甚至我画的毕加索漫画几乎都是为了摆脱他的影响。
If you read about Mussolini or Stalin or some of these other great monsters of history, they were at it all the time, that they were getting up in the morning very early. They were physically very active. They didn't eat lunch.
如果你读过墨索里尼、斯大林或其他一些历史上的伟人,你会发现他们一直都是这样,他们每天早上都很早起床。他们身体非常活跃。他们没有吃午饭。
You cannot hold on to anything good. You must be continually giving - and getting. You cannot hold on to your seed. You must sow it - and reap anew. You cannot hold on to riches. You must use them and get other riches in return.
你抓不住任何好的东西。你必须不断地给予和获得。你不能留住你的种子。你必须播种,然后再收获。你不能抓住财富不放。你必须利用它们,并得到其他财富的回报。
To really be tortured by a song, it needs to be more than just something you don't like or don't get; it has to make your skin crawl by getting under it. Strangely, that last clause could describe provocative or daring music, as well.
要真正被一首歌所折磨,它需要的不仅仅是你不喜欢或得不到的东西;它必须钻到你的皮肤下面,让你起鸡皮疙瘩。奇怪的是,最后这句话也可以用来形容挑衅或大胆的音乐。
I'm excited, ... It's a fresh start. I need to make some good impressions and get back to where I once was. I'm not getting caught up in who's (in San Diego) and who's not there. I'm just getting a fresh start and a chance to rebuild.
我兴奋,……这是一个新的开始。我需要留下一些好印象,回到我曾经的位置。我不会纠结于谁在(圣地亚哥)谁不在那里。我只是有了一个新的开始和一个重建的机会。
I took a private lesson, but it didn't really work out, so I went back to playing along with records. That's really the thing that got me into playing a lot - getting excited about playing along with my favorite bands like Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
我上了一节私人课,但效果并不好,所以我又回去跟着唱片玩了。这真的是让我投入很多演奏的东西——和我最喜欢的乐队一起演奏,比如齐柏林飞艇和黑色安息日乐队,让我感到兴奋。
If you're an Afghan village leader in a small town down around Kandahar somewhere, and you know that the footprint is getting smaller for your security, and the Taliban saying don't forget, I'm going to be back real soon, who is your loyalty going to go through?
如果你是坎大哈附近某个小镇的一个阿富汗村长,你知道为了你的安全,你的足迹正在变得越来越小,而塔利班说别忘了,我很快就会回来,你的忠诚会通过谁?
That type of autograph, pictures and apparel thievery was not part of what I grew up with. I loved the artists and their music. I would be thrilled to meet them, but the thought of getting a scribble or stealing an article of clothing never occurred or appealed to me.
那种签名、照片和偷衣服的行为并不是伴随我长大的。我喜欢这些艺术家和他们的音乐。如果能见到他们,我会很兴奋,但我从来没有想过要去涂鸦或偷一件衣服。
I've found that in now having experienced what it's like to make records and just through growing up in general that you should be expressive about what's affecting you instead of trying to sing about a subject just for the sake of other people getting something from it.
我发现,在经历了录制唱片的过程之后,在成长的过程中,你应该表达出那些影响你的东西,而不是仅仅为了让别人从中得到一些东西而唱出一个主题。
Anytime you win, it's a good win. But we didn't play very well. Offensively, we were getting underneath the ball and hitting in the air a lot. And defensively, we made a couple of mistakes that hurt us. We're going to have to shape some things up by Thursday and Saturday.
任何时候你赢了,都是一场好赢。但是我们打得不是很好。在进攻端,我们经常钻到球下面,在空中击球。在防守端,我们犯了几个错误,伤害了我们。我们必须在星期四和星期六之前把一些事情安排妥当。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
You know you are getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
当蜡烛比蛋糕贵的时候,你就知道自己老了。
There is a note in the front of the volume saying that no public reading may be given without first getting the author's permission. It ought to be made much more difficult to do than that.
在这本书的前面有一个说明,说没有得到作者的许可,公众不得阅读。这件事应该做得比这困难得多。
If it's coming near the end of a chapter and I'm really getting into it, I tend to get up earlier and earlier, just because I'm excited to get to work.
如果快到一章的结尾了,而且我真的很投入,我就会越来越早起床,因为我很兴奋能开始工作。
I'd get into a room and disappear into the woodwork. Now the rooms are so crowded with reporters getting behind-the-scenes stories that nobody can get behind-the-scenes stories.
我会走进一个房间,消失在木制品中。现在房间里挤满了报道幕后故事的记者,没有人能知道幕后故事。
I'm too obsessed that the people who say critical things about me are right, even though I'm getting to do something I love.
我太着迷于那些批评我的人是对的,即使我要做我喜欢的事情。
Most people regard getting their way as a matter of simple justice.
大多数人认为,为所欲为只是一个简单的正义问题。
