A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
硬
Hard
I've heard people say it looks as if I don't care and I've certainly read that, but the way I play is natural. I don't think I can change it. I know I'm working as hard as the next man, even if it doesn't always look that way.
我听人说我好像不在乎,我当然也读过,但我打球的方式很自然。我想我改变不了。我知道我和其他人一样努力工作,即使情况并不总是这样。
One always has to remember these days where the garbage pail is, because it's so easy to make sounds, and to put sounds together into something that appears to be music, but it's just as hard as it always was to make good music.
人们总是要记住垃圾桶在哪里,因为制造声音很容易,把声音组合成音乐,但要制造出好的音乐就像以前一样难。
I knew what my times were and how my practices were progressing and how close I was to the goals I had set for the year. I swam hard. I always swam hard. If I didn't, I knew I would pay for it either the next day or the next meet.
我知道我的时间是什么,我的实践进展如何,我离我为这一年设定的目标有多近。我游泳很难。我总是努力游泳。如果我不这样做,我知道我会在第二天或下次见面时为此付出代价。
I had to be intellectually satisfied as well as emotionally because at that time of life one doesn't just fall into it in adolescent emotion, and I was satisfied at every point that it was the one way and the hard way to do things.
我必须在智力上和情感上都感到满足,因为在那个时候,一个人不只是沉浸在青春期的情感中,我对每一点都很满意,那就是这是一种做事的方式,也是一种困难的方式。
Being at school, being who I am, being an athlete, it was hard to find people like me. There's not many athletes that can be at my level. That was kind of hard finding people who love something so much they want to keep on doing it.
在学校,做我自己,做一名运动员,很难找到像我这样的人。没有多少运动员能达到我的水平。要找到如此热爱某件事并想要继续做下去的人有点难。
It's hard to decide how to match words to music. It's not like it's twice the work. It's always difficult for me to explain to the composer what I'm looking for. I'm not a professional; I lack even basic knowledge about writing music.
很难决定如何把文字和音乐搭配起来。又不是两倍的工作量。我总是很难向作曲家解释我在寻找什么。我不是专业人士;我甚至缺乏写音乐的基本知识。
I like making pies. I have a bunch of fruit trees in my backyard. My loquat tree sprouted, and I like making loquat pie. They're really hard to peel and everything, and it took me forever, but they make the best pies. They're amazing.
我喜欢做馅饼。我的后院有一串果树。我的枇杷树发芽了,我喜欢做枇杷派。它们真的很难剥,我花了很长时间,但它们做的派是最好的。他们是了不起的。
So many of the sounds that contemporary composers were trying to create were to be found in the traditional musics of the world. That was encouraging but also little daunting to think that you had to work so hard to be new and yet it was old.
当代作曲家试图创造的许多声音都可以在世界传统音乐中找到。这是令人鼓舞的,但也没有令人气馁的想法,你必须如此努力工作,以成为新的,但它是旧的。
I know without our fans and the devotion of our fans we wouldn't be here. I don't mean to put them down, but I'm just stating a fact that it is hard to play to people that see you all the time and it takes a lot of fun out of it in some ways.
我知道,没有我们的球迷和球迷的奉献,我们就不会在这里。我并不想贬低他们,但我只是想说明一个事实,那就是和那些经常见到你的人一起玩很难,而且在某些方面会让你失去很多乐趣。
Well, of course a boxing match is hard because boxing isn't set for you to do good. You have to force your will upon someone, but dancing you don't have to force your will. It should be a lot easier because if I make a mistake I don't get hit.
当然,拳击比赛是很难的,因为拳击不是为你做好准备的。你必须把你的意志强加于人,但跳舞你不需要把你的意志强加于人。这应该容易得多,因为如果我犯了错误,我不会被击中。
At first, it was hard to sit down and read the things that people were saying. A lot of people would've worked their way up to this position and would've gotten a thick skin over a few years' time. For me, though, all this happened in a few months.
起初,很难坐下来读人们在说什么。很多人会通过自己的努力达到这个职位,并在几年的时间里得到厚脸皮。但对我来说,这一切都发生在几个月之内。
I think that once you open the door and allow people in on a certain aspect, it's very hard to then control how far that ripple effect is. So I think that the person who is known or famous has the ability to decide what they do or don't want to share.
我认为,一旦你打开大门,允许人们进入某个领域,就很难控制连锁反应的程度。所以我认为,名人有能力决定他们想做什么或不想分享什么。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
After I did the first Die Hard I said I'd never do another, same after I did the second one and the third. The whole genre was running itself into the ground.
在我做了第一个虎胆龙威之后,我说我再也不会做了,同样的,在我做了第二个和第三个虎胆龙威之后。整个流派都在走下坡路。
The only way to get people to like working hard is to motivate them. Today, people must understand why they're working hard. Every individual in an organization is motivated by something different.
让人们喜欢努力工作的唯一方法就是激励他们。今天,人们必须明白他们为什么努力工作。组织中的每个人都有不同的动机。
