A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
心
Heart
She limped over to the battle-scarred monster and held out her hand. The heart was surprisingly heavy as Tool poured it into her palm. She lifted the muscle to her lips and bit deep. Blood ran down her chin.
她一瘸一拐地走到那个伤痕累累的怪物跟前,伸出手来。当工具把心倒进她的手掌时,她的心出奇地沉重。她把肌肉举到唇边,咬得很深。血顺着她的下巴往下流。
It is precisely because the issue raised by this case touches the heart of what makes individuals what they are that we should be especially sensitive to the rights of those whose choices upset the majority.
正是因为这个案件所提出的问题触及到个人的本质,我们才应该对那些选择使大多数人不安的人的权利特别敏感。
One of my beliefs is that there are certain institutions within a community which stand for the spirit and heart of that community, there's the church, the local football team, the local pub and the theatre.
我的一个信念是,在一个社区中有一些机构代表着这个社区的精神和核心,有教堂、当地足球队、当地酒吧和剧院。
There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.
一个畜生的无私和自我牺牲的爱,有一些东西直接进入他的内心,他经常有机会考验一个人的微不足道的友谊和薄纱般的忠诚。
I never told a victim story about my imprisonment. Instead, I told a transformation story - about how prison changed my outlook, about how I saw that communication, truth, and trust are at the heart of power.
我从来没有讲过我被监禁的受害者的故事。相反,我讲述了一个转变的故事——关于监狱如何改变了我的看法,关于我如何看待沟通、真相和信任是权力的核心。
Worship is our response to the overtures of love from the heart of the Father. Its central reality is found 'in spirit and truth.' It is kindled within us only when the Spirit of God touches our human spirit.
敬拜是我们对天父之爱的回应。它的核心现实是“在精神和真理中”。只有当神的灵感动我们人的灵的时候,它才在我们里面发光。
As soon as you concern yourself with the 'good' and 'bad' of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weaken and defeat you.
只要你关心你的同伴的“好”和“坏”,你就在你的心中为恶意创造了一个入口。测试、竞争和批评他人会削弱和打败你。
What I have to do now is figure where my passion is, and follow my heart; I've proven that if I have the passion for something then I can succeed. I haven't been listening to my heart in the last little while.
我现在要做的是找到我的激情所在,追随我的内心;我已经证明,如果我对某件事有激情,那么我就能成功。在过去的一段时间里,我没有倾听我的内心。
One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.
艺术与生活的不同之处在于,在艺术中,事物都有自己的形状。它允许我们在事件发生的那一刻将我们的情绪固定下来,它允许心与心、舌头与眼泪的结合。
The earth has grown old with its burden of care, but at Christmas it always is young, the heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair, and its soul full of music breaks the air, when the song of angels is sung.
大地因忧虑而变得苍老,但在圣诞节,它总是年轻的。当人们唱起天使的歌时,那颗宝石的心就明亮而美丽地燃烧着,它的灵魂就充满了音乐,空气中充满了音乐。
Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. It's the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands, but brains, imagination, heart maybe.
绘画和雕塑是非常古老的形式。这是我们工业社会中唯一剩下的东西,在这个社会里,一个人不仅可以用自己的双手,还可以用自己的头脑、想象力和心灵去创造一些东西。
I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that's true in any of the arts.
我认为一个艺术家最重要的是不要担心别人怎么想。你只需要做你内心和你的存在,并把它展现出来——这在任何艺术中都是真的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Let us, then, be up and doing, with a heart for any fate; still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor and to wait.
那么,让我们起来干吧,对任何命运都要有一颗勇敢的心;不断地获得,不断地追求,要学会苦干和耐心等待。
Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.
每颗心都唱着一首歌,残缺不全,直到另一颗心窃窃私语。想唱歌的人总能找到歌。每一个沐浴在爱河中的人都是诗人。
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。
In art the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.
在艺术中,手永远不能执行高于心所能想象的任何事情。
If my mind can conceive it, & my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.
如果我的头脑能想象,我的心能相信,我就知道我能做到。
A celibate, like the fly in the heart of an apple, dwells in a perpetual sweetness, but sits alone, and is confined and dies in singularity.
独身主义者就像苹果心的苍蝇,永远生活在甜蜜之中,但却孤独地坐着,受到限制,在奇异中死去。
