A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
流言蜚语
Gossip
Sometimes I think the human animal doesn't really need food or water to survive, only gossip.
有时我认为人类动物并不真的需要食物或水来生存，只是八卦而已。
It's an indulgence to sit in a room and discuss your beliefs as if they were a juicy piece of gossip.

Truth is not exciting enough to those who depend on the characters and lives of their neighbors for all their amusement.

你们要躲避好管闲事的人。因为他们必成为多嘴多舌的人。
There is a lust in man no charm can tame: Of loudly publishing his neighbor's shame: On eagles wings immortal scandals fly, while virtuous actions are born and die.
人性中有一种欲望是任何魅力都无法驯服的，那就是大声宣扬邻居的耻辱:在鹰的翅膀上，不朽的丑闻飞翔，而正直的行为则生而又死。
Where you see valid achievements or virtue being attacked, it's by someone viewing them as a mirror of their own inadequacy instead of an inspiring beacon for excellence.
当你看到有效的成就或美德受到攻击时，那是因为有人把它们看作是自己不足的一面镜子，而不是通向卓越的鼓舞人心的灯塔。
I was both very successful and very left; the living demonstration of how you could be on the left and still be in the gossip columns and be envied for the money you made.
我既非常成功，又非常左倾;这是一个活生生的例子，说明你既能站在左边，又能上八卦专栏，还能因为赚到的钱而被嫉妒。
Every week I read about myself in a magazine, about something that I haven't done or some place that I've never been or don't even know. It's just gossip, rumors, egos, and politics.
每周我都会在杂志上读到一些关于我自己的事，一些我从未做过的事，一些我从未去过或甚至不知道的地方。只是八卦、谣言、自负和政治。
When you gossip, it's self-hexing. Because when you do it, it comes back to you. Everything starts with the word. The word is demonstrating a condition of the mind. If it's in your mind and comes out of your mouth, it will be created.
当你八卦的时候，那是自寻烦恼。因为当你这样做的时候，它会回到你的身边。一切都从这个词开始。这个词显示了一种精神状态。如果它在你的脑海里，从你的嘴里出来，它就会被创造出来。
