A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
硬
Hard
Words began to appear in English and to make some kind of equivalent. For what satisfaction it is hard to say, except that something seems unusually piercing, living, handsome, in another language, and since English is yours, you wish it to be there too.
单词开始出现在英语中,并产生了一些等价词。除了在另一种语言中,有一种东西似乎异乎寻常地尖锐、生动、漂亮,除此之外,还有什么能让你感到满意的呢?既然英语是你的,你希望它也在那里。
There's a long record here of being wrong. There's a good reason for it. There are probably multiple reasons. Certainly proliferation is a hard thing to track, particularly in countries that deny easy and free access and don't have free and open societies.
有很长一段错误的记录。这是有原因的。原因可能有很多。当然,核扩散是一件很难追踪的事情,尤其是在那些拒绝方便和自由进入、没有自由和开放社会的国家。
It is work, work that one delights in, that is the surest guarantor of happiness. But even here it is a work that has to be earned by labor in one's earlier years. One should labor so hard in youth that everything one does subsequently is easy by comparison.
工作,使人快乐的工作,才是幸福最可靠的保证。但即使在这里,这也是一项早年必须靠劳动才能获得的工作。一个人年轻时应该努力工作,这样他以后做的每件事相比之下都是容易的。
I've been trying to find women writers for my staff for a while now and I have three women on my staff and three guys so it's pretty equal. I don't know why that is. It's been the same thing for a while. It's hard for female comedians to stand out. That's weird. That's a shame.
一段时间以来,我一直在为我的员工寻找女性作家,我的员工中有三名女性和三名男性,所以男女比例相当。我不知道为什么。一段时间以来都是一样的。女喜剧演员很难脱颖而出。这是奇怪的。这是一个耻辱。
I have worked long and hard to try to reduce my debts, and I am devastated that it came to this conclusion. I now intend to focus on the remaining dates of the Westlife tour and my commitments to the band before looking to rebuild a future for my wife, my three children and myself.
我努力工作了很长时间,试图减少我的债务,我对得出这个结论感到震惊。现在我打算把重点放在西城男孩巡演的剩余日期和我对乐队的承诺上,然后再为我的妻子、三个孩子和我自己重建一个未来。
People and squirrels are very different. Most people will not argue that. But I find that there is one situation in which they're very similar. And that is: when I am driving towards them in my car. Then they're kind of hard to tell apart - especially if the human is kind of hairy.
人和松鼠是非常不同的。大多数人不会这么认为。但我发现有一种情况它们非常相似。那就是:当我开着车向他们驶来的时候。然后它们就很难区分了——尤其是如果人类是多毛的。
The fans know what's happened to me over the past couple of years. I lost my family. I pretty much got devastated financially and the fans know that I've had some hard times - and that's the nature of loyal fans. They want to see the people that they love and believe in get back on their feet.
球迷们知道我过去几年发生了什么。我失去了我的家人。我的经济几乎崩溃了,球迷们也知道我有过一段艰难的时期——这就是忠实球迷的本质。他们希望看到他们所爱的人和他们信任的人重新站起来。
I don't think I've ever worked so hard on something, but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands, it wouldn't be ours anymore.
我想我从来没有在某件事上如此努力过,但在麦金塔上工作是我一生中最干净利落的经历。几乎每个参与其中的人都会这么说。我们都不想在最后发布它。就好像我们知道,一旦我们失去了它,它就不再是我们的了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
It's hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone when your heart still does.
当你的心还在爱一个人的时候,你很难告诉自己停止爱他。
The truth of the matter is that you always know the night thing to do. The hard part is doing it.
事实上,你总是知道晚上该做什么。最难的部分是做这件事。
This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until its done. It's that easy, and that hard.
你可以这样做:你坐在键盘前,一个字一个字地写下来,直到写好为止。就是那么简单,那么难。
I can't believe this is happening to me. The weirdest thing is it was just a dream, and now it's actually real. It's hard to believe sometimes.
我不敢相信这发生在我身上。最奇怪的是,这只是一个梦,现在它是真实的。有时候很难相信。
I fall too fast, crash too hard, forgive too easy, and care too much.
我摔得太快,摔得太重,原谅得太容易,关心得太多。
When every one of your arguments is characterized an attempt to bring back slavery or resegregate lunch counters, it's a little hard to have any sort of productive debate.
当你的每一个论点都带有试图恢复奴隶制或重新隔离午餐柜台的特征时,要进行任何富有成效的辩论都有点难。
