A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
手
Hands
I like to use my hands. When I was in theatre in college, that was one of my biggest notes: 'You use your hands too much.'
我喜欢用我的手。当我在大学里读戏剧的时候，这是我最重要的一句话:“你用手太多了。”
I grew up under the sticks and stones rule. I didn't put my hands on you so why should you put your hands on me or my family.
我是在棍棒和石头的统治下长大的。我没有把手放在你身上，所以你为什么要把手放在我或我的家人身上。
Everyone in my family used to work with some kind of tool in their hands every day. That's what we do. That's what I did before I got into acting.
我家里的每个人过去每天手里都拿着某种工具工作。这就是我们所做的。在我开始演戏之前，我就是这么做的。
As a writer, I am constantly aware that I take my life in my hands with everything I do and say. It's just a fact of life. For me it always has been.
作为一名作家，我时刻意识到我的一言一行都掌握在自己手中。这就是生活的事实。对我来说一直如此。
Newspapers are the second hand of history. This hand, however, is usually not only of inferior metal to the other hands, it also seldom works properly.
报纸是历史的秒针。然而，这只手，通常不仅是劣质金属比其他手，它也很少正常工作。
Relationship is not just holding hands while you understand each other. It’s also having lots of misunderstandings and still not leaving each other’s hands.
关系不只是在你理解对方的时候牵着手。也有很多误解，仍然没有离开彼此的手。
The director took my face in his hands and asked me to show him my teeth, as with a horse. This happened on a Wednesday, and by the following Monday I was shooting.
导演用双手捧着我的脸，让我给他看我的牙齿，就像给一匹马看一样。这件事发生在一个星期三，到了下一个星期一，我开始拍摄。
Whether it is successful or not is not the exercise for me. It is not up to me. It is out of my hands now. I am not going to in two years have hindsight and say I made a big mistake.
它是否成功对我来说不是练习。这不是我能决定的。现在我已经无能为力了。我不会在两年后回过头来看，然后说我犯了一个大错误。
You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and half-decent brains. Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime.
你和我的身体被赋予了两只手、两条腿和半真半假的大脑。有些人生来就不是这样的。业力在另一个生命中运作。
We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.
我们应该为年老做好准备，这样，这个世界就不会迫切需要从对下一个世界的冥想中吸收老年。看到老态龙钟的瘦削的手在坟墓上做棺材是可怕的。
Before the operation on my left hand I wasn't able to stretch my fingers open all the way. I've never had very big hands, but I could do the splits with them. Eventually I couldn't any more. I had a twisted tendon in my little finger that prevented me from being able to stretch.
在我的左手做手术之前，我的手指一直伸不开。我从来没有非常大的手，但我可以用他们做劈叉。最后我再也受不了了。我的小指肌腱扭伤，无法伸展。
