A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

给

Give

You can give men food and leisure and amusements and good conditions of work, and still they will remain unsatisfied. You can deny them all these things, and they will not complain so long as they feel that they have something to die for.

你可以给人食物、闲暇、娱乐和良好的工作条件,但他们仍然不满足。你可以否认他们所有的这些,只要他们觉得有什么值得为之牺牲的东西,他们就不会抱怨。

If they are, then the only ultimate truths are the particulars of concrete experience, and no postulate or general assumption is inherent in science until its proceedings become systematic, or the truths already reached give direction to further research.

如果是这样,那么唯一的根本真理就是具体经验的特殊性,在科学的进展成为系统的,或者已经得到的真理为进一步的研究指明了方向之前,科学中不存在任何固有的假定或一般的假定。

This communication alone, by the comparison of the antagonisms, rivalries, movements which give birth to decisive moments, permits the evolution of the soul, whereby a man realizes himself on earth. It is impossible to be concerned with anything else in art.

只有这种交流,通过对产生决定性时刻的对立、对抗和运动的比较,才允许灵魂的进化,从而使人在地球上实现自我。在艺术上不可能再关心别的事情。

Dancers, many dancers today can do so much technically. You can give them steps that are complicated, then more complicated, pyrotechnical - and they can execute these steps to perfection. But to do simple steps with a pure classical line, that is truly difficult.

舞者,今天的许多舞者在技术上可以做很多。你可以给他们一些复杂的步骤,然后是更复杂的,烟火的——他们可以把这些步骤执行到完美。但要用纯古典的线条做简单的步骤,确实很难。

You have to give access to people with disabilities but there is no requirement to hire them. What I mean by affirmative obligation is that producers must take the necessary steps to include opportunities for people with disabilities and a vast majority of them do.

你必须给残疾人提供机会,但没有雇佣他们的要求。我所说的积极义务是,生产者必须采取必要的步骤,为残疾人提供机会,而他们中的绝大多数人都是这样做的。

When you see a fish you don't think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen through the water... If I made fins and eyes and scales, I would arrest its movement, give a pattern or shape of reality. I want just the flash of its spirit.

当你看到一条鱼,你不会想到它的鳞片,是吗?你想想它的速度,它浮在水面上闪闪发光的身体……如果我做了鳍、眼睛和鳞片,我就会阻止它的运动,给它一个现实的模式或形状。我只要它精神的闪光。

So someday in the near future hopefully rather than having a foot or a leg amputated we'll just give you an injection of the cells and restore the blood flow. We've also created entire tubes of red blood cells from scratch in the laboratory. So there are a lot of exciting things in the pipeline.

所以在不久的将来我们希望不是截肢而是给你注射细胞来恢复血液流动。我们还在实验室里从零开始创造了完整的红细胞管。所以有很多令人兴奋的事情在进行中。

We give the podium to a lot of people who shouldn't have the podium. The message that's delivered the loudest and in the most entertaining way is the one that we're going to put on because that's what we want. We want ratings more than we want to deliver information. That's just where the culture's gotten.

我们把讲台给了很多不应该站在讲台上的人。以最响亮、最有趣的方式传递的信息,就是我们将要传递的信息,因为这正是我们想要的。我们想要的是评级而不是信息。这就是文化的起源。
