A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
给
Giving
So I would hope they would develop some kind of habit that involves understanding that their life is so full they can afford to give in all kinds of ways to other people. I consider that to be baseline spirituality.
所以我希望他们能养成一种习惯，让他们明白他们的生活是如此的充实，以至于他们能够以各种方式给予他人。我认为这是灵性的底线。
Not only should we be giving Amtrak the money it needs to continue to provide services; we should be providing security money to upgrade their tracks and improve safety and security measures in the entire rail system.
我们不仅应该给美铁继续提供服务所需的资金;我们应该提供安全资金来升级他们的轨道，改善整个铁路系统的安全和安保措施。
I have somewhere met with the epitaph on a charitable man which has pleased me very much. I cannot recollect the words, but here is the sense of it: "What I spent I lost; what I possessed is left to others; what I gave away remains with me."
我在什么地方见过一位慈善人士的墓志铭，这使我非常高兴。我记不得这句话了，但它的意思是:“我花了我失去了;我所拥有的留给别人;我所送出的东西还留在我身边。”
There stands no contradiction between giving voice to legitimate anxiety and at the same time, as and when exchange of fire commences, looking to the rest of the country, as well as all of us in the House, to give full moral support to our forces.
在合理表达忧虑的同时，在交火开始的时候，我们期待着全国其他地区以及众议院的所有人向我们的部队提供充分的道义支持，这两者之间没有矛盾。
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
当我们诚实地问自己生命中谁对我们最重要时，我们常常发现，是那些人，他们没有给出建议、解决方案或治愈方法，而是选择与我们分享痛苦，用温暖而温柔的手触摸我们的伤口。
There is no such thing as an isolated man or woman; we are each of us made up of a cluster of appurtenances. What do you call one’s self? Where does it begin? Where does it end? It overflows into everything that belongs to us--and then it flows back again.
世上没有与世隔绝的男人或女人;我们每个人都是由一群附属物组成的。一个人的自我叫什么?它从哪里开始?它在哪里结束?它流入我们所有的东西，然后又流回来。
Giving presents is a talent; to know what a person wants, to know when and how to get it, to give it lovingly and well. Unless a character possesses this talent there is no moment more annihilating to ease than that in which a present is received and given.
送礼物是一种天赋;要知道一个人想要什么，知道何时以及如何得到它，要充满爱心地把它给予他人。除非一个角色拥有这种天赋，否则没有比接受和给予礼物更容易毁灭的时刻了。
All of the muscles were gone, so that was a real tough time of rebuilding all of that. But you have a deadline, you have an obligation. You've said that you will commit to this part, and I just can't live with myself for not really giving it as much as I can.
所有的肌肉都消失了，所以重建所有的肌肉非常困难。但是你有最后期限，你有义务。你说过你会致力于这一角色，但我无法忍受自己没有尽我所能去做。
Any ordinary favor we do for someone or any compassionate reaching out may seem to be going nowhere at first, but may be planting a seed we can't see right now. Sometimes we need to just do the best we can and then trust in an unfolding we can't design or ordain.
我们为别人做的任何普通的帮助，或任何富有同情心的伸出援手，一开始似乎都不会有什么结果，但可能正在播下一颗我们现在看不到的种子。有时候，我们需要做的只是尽我们所能，然后相信一个我们无法设计或注定的展开。
We must be aware of the dangers, which lie in our most generous wishes. Some paradox of our nature leads us, when once we have made our fellow men the objects of our enlightened interest, to go on to make them the objects of our pity, then of our wisdom, ultimately of our coercion.
我们必须意识到存在于我们最慷慨的愿望中的危险。我们天性中的一些矛盾导致我们，一旦我们把我们的同胞作为我们启蒙兴趣的对象，就会继续把他们作为我们怜悯的对象，然后是智慧的对象，最终是强迫的对象。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others.
给予使我们从自己需求的熟悉领域中解放出来，打开我们的心灵，进入被他人需求占据的无法解释的世界。
For it is in giving that we receive.
因为我们是在给予中得到的。
The arch-flatterer, with whom all the petty flatterers have intelligence, is a man’s self.
阿谀奉承者是一个人的自我，所有微不足道的阿谀奉承者都有他的聪明才智。
The Lord gave us farmers two strong hands so we could grab as much as we could with both of them.
上帝给了我们农夫两只强壮的手，这样我们就可以用这两只手尽可能多地抓东西。
All my pictures are built around the idea of getting in trouble and so giving me the chance to be desperately serious in my attempt to appear as a normal little gentleman.
我所有的照片都是围绕着陷入困境的想法而创作的，所以给了我一个机会，让我在努力表现成一个正常的小绅士的过程中，表现得极其严肃。
