A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
高中
High School
Every dude in your high school wasn't striving to be the best poet because then he'd get all the girls, right? But you could imagine a society in which that were the case.
你高中的每一个男生都没有努力成为最好的诗人，因为那样他就能得到所有的女孩，对吧?但你可以想象这样一个社会。
I've been writing since I'm five years old. I've been writing books since high school - junior high, high school. I write every single day. I never thought I'd be published.
我从五岁就开始写作了。我从高中就开始写书了——初中，高中。我每天都写作。我从没想过我会被出版。
So by the time I got to Michigan I was a stutterer. I couldn't talk. So my first year of school was my first mute year and then those mute years continued until I got to high school.
所以当我来到密歇根的时候，我已经是一个口吃者了。我不能说话。所以我上学的第一年是我第一个哑巴年，然后那些哑巴年一直持续到我上高中。
In high school, during marathon phone conversations, cheap pizza dinners and long suburban car rides, I began to fall for boys because of who they actually were, or at least who I thought they might become.
在高中，在马拉松式的电话交谈、便宜的披萨晚餐和长时间的郊区汽车旅行中，我开始爱上男孩，因为他们实际上是谁，或者至少我认为他们可能会成为谁。
It is hard to rationalise or explain why you love what you love. But I have always been interested in science and maths, and in high school I was struck that you could use maths to understand nature and science.
很难给自己的爱找个合理的解释。但我一直对科学和数学感兴趣，在高中时，我很惊讶地发现你可以用数学来理解自然和科学。
I fantasize about going back to high school with the knowledge I have now. I would shine. I would have a good time, I would have a girlfriend. I think that's where a lot of my pain comes from. I think I never had any teenage years to go back to.
我幻想着用我现在拥有的知识回到高中。我会发光。我会玩得很开心，我会有女朋友。我想这就是我很多痛苦的来源。我想我再也不会回到少年时代了。
I think being mean to people in high school is healthy. It's sort of like you're in this situation with all these other kids and sometimes you need to get your aggression out. And if you'd had people be mean to you before, it really does build character.
我认为对高中生刻薄是健康的。这就像你和其他孩子在这种情况下，有时你需要把你的攻击性发泄出来。如果你以前让别人对你刻薄，这确实能塑造你的性格。
I didn't care for most of the books I was being asked to read in school. I started reading like crazy right after high school when I got a job in a mental hospital. I was working my way through college, and I did a lot of night shifts, and there was nothing to do. So I read like crazy, serious stuff, all the classics.
我不喜欢学校要求我读的大部分书。高中毕业后，我在一家精神病院找到了一份工作。我靠自己的努力读完了大学，我上了很多夜班，没有什么可做的。所以我读那些疯狂的，严肃的东西，所有的经典。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
When I was in high school, there's no doubt I was trying to swing like Tiger Woods when he first came on tour.
当我上高中的时候，毫无疑问，当老虎伍兹第一次参加巡回赛的时候，我就像他一样挥杆。
By the time I entered high school, I had forsaken academics altogether in favor of my burgeoning acting career.
到我上高中的时候，我已经完全放弃了学业，转而投身于蓬勃发展的演艺事业。
Yes, I did try acting when I was in high school and I was terrible at it. So I definitely have had the experience of being bad at artistic endeavor.
是的，我在高中的时候试过演戏，但我演得很糟糕。所以我肯定有过不擅长艺术的经历。
I'm so fortunate in that I've never had another job to pay a bill but acting, since the day I got out of high school.
我很幸运，自从高中毕业后，除了演戏，我从未有过其他工作要付账单。
All my high school papers were written in the rare book room.
我所有的高中论文都是在珍藏室里写的。
