A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
心
Heart
If we may believe our logicians, man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter. He has a heart capable of mirth, and naturally disposed to it.
如果我们相信我们的逻辑学家，人类与其他生物的区别就在于它的笑的能力。他有一颗快乐的心，而且天生就喜欢快乐。
I would sooner swim to the Bermudas on Two politicians’ rotten bladders, tied Together with an intelligence heart string, Than depend on so changeable a prince’s favour.
我宁愿躺在两位政客腐烂的鱼鳔上，用一根智慧的心绳系在一起，游到百慕大群岛，也不愿依靠一位如此善变的王子的宠爱。
Who will grieve for this woman? Does she not seem too insignificant for our concern? Yet in my heart I never will deny her, Who suffered death because she chose to turn.
谁会为这个女人伤心呢?对我们来说，她不是太微不足道了吗?然而在我心里，我永远不会否认她，因为她选择了回头而遭受了死亡。
I gave my heart to the Lord, and I remember the incident vividly. The Lord spoke to me. I know that sounds funny. It was not an audible voice or anything of that nature.
我把我的心献给上帝，我清楚地记得那件事。耶和华对我说话。我知道这听起来很有趣。那不是一个可听见的声音，也不是那种声音。
If a man truly loves, he gives no heed to what others may think. His heart has no room for that, for it is filled to the brim with the unutterable truth of his feelings.
如果一个人真爱一个人，他不会在意别人的想法。他的心容不下这些，因为他的感情里充满了说不出的真情实感。
If what you see by the eye doesn't please you, then close your eyes and see from the heart. Because the heart can see beauty and love more then the eyes can ever wonder.
如果你不喜欢你所看到的，那么闭上你的眼睛，用心去看。因为心比眼睛更能看到美和爱。
No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus holds. Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped; no other man has been so devoutly loved.
在这个世界上，没有人拥有或曾经拥有耶稣所拥有的地位。其他的神也被虔诚地崇拜;从来没有一个人象他那样被虔诚地爱着。
A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
一个人的作品不过是一次缓慢的跋涉，通过艺术的弯路，重新发现那两三个伟大而简单的形象，在他们面前，他的心第一次打开了。
He refused to give up, refused to wonder if she’d been mistaken, refused because his heart yearned too much for that strange, wonderful, terrifying creature called Witch.
他拒绝放弃，拒绝怀疑她是否弄错了，拒绝了，因为他的心太渴望那个叫女巫的奇怪的、奇妙的、可怕的生物了。
It would, of course, be hopeless to attempt to crowd into an international language all those local overtones of meaning which are so dear to the heart of the nationalist.
当然，试图把民族主义者心中所珍视的所有地方意义的暗示都挤进一门国际语言，那是毫无希望的。
The heart never grows better by age; I fear rather worse, always harder. A young liar will be an old one, and a young knave will only be a greater knave as he grows older.
心永远不会随着年龄的增长而变得更好;我害怕得更糟，总是更困难。年轻的说谎者会变老，而年轻的无赖只会随着年龄的增长而变得更坏。
That man is a creature who needs order yet yearns for change is the creative contradiction at the heart of the laws which structure his conformity and define his deviancy.
人是一种需要秩序但又渴望改变的生物，这是构成他的从众性和定义他的越轨行为的法则的核心的创造性矛盾。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among rocks.
众所周知，如果一个人的内心土壤从未受过教育而变得松软或肥沃过，那么偏见是最难以根除的;他们在那里生长，如同野草生长在岩石中。
A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.
女人的心应该藏在神里面，男人必须去寻找他，才能找到她。

奇怪的是，一颗心要经过多少次破碎，岁月才会使它变得明智。

要改善世界，首先要靠自己的心、头脑和双手。
The heart has eyes which the brain knows nothing of.
心有眼睛，大脑却一无所知。
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.
相信你自己:每颗心都随着那根铁弦振动。
