A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
他
Him
When I was a young prosecutor, I got called to testify against my boss. I could have backed down, but I didn't. I stood up to him. And he fired me for it.
当我还是一名年轻的检察官时，我被叫去指证我的老板。我本可以让步的，但我没有。我向他站了起来。他因此炒了我鱿鱼
As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost.
任何一个成年人，只要他认为自己像过去的父母和老师一样，可以变得内省，唤起自己的青春去理解他面前的青春，他就迷失了。
Every time a student walks past a really urgent, expressive piece of architecture that belongs to his college, it can help reassure him that he does have that mind, does have that soul.
每当一个学生经过一幢属于他的学院的非常紧急、富有表现力的建筑时，它都能帮助他确信，他确实有那样的头脑，有那样的灵魂。
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.

To chase an athlete that really doesn't want to speak with you and when you finally get him, gives you three words and you have to write a story based on three words of information he gave you, that's pretty tough.
要追一个不想和你说话的运动员，当你终于追上他，给你三个字，你必须根据他给你的三个字的信息写一个故事，这是相当困难的。
A non-fiction writer pretty much has the shape of the figure in front of him or her and goes about refining it. A work of non-fiction is not as difficult to write as a work of fiction, but it's not as satisfying in the end.
一个非小说作家在他或她面前有一个人物的形状，并不断完善它。一部非小说作品并不像小说作品那么难写，但它最终并没有那么令人满意。
The former measured six feet and an inch in his stockings, and, without a single pound of cumbrous flesh about him, weighed a hundred and eighty. The latter was an inch shorter than his rival, and ten pounds lighter; but he was much the most active of the two.
前者在他的长统袜里有六英尺零一英寸长，身上没有一磅赘肉，却有一百八十磅重。后者比他的对手矮一英寸，轻十磅;但他是这两个人中最活跃的。
Ned made a tremendous rattling, at which Bullet took fright, broke his bridle, and dashed off in grand style; and would have stopped all farther negotiations by going home in disgust, had not a traveller arrested him and brought him back; but Kit did not move.
奈德发出巨大的咔哒咔哒声，子弹吓了一跳，挣断了缰绳，潇洒地跑开了。要不是有个旅客把他抓了回来，把他带回来，他一定会厌恶地回家去，从而停止一切进一步的谈判;但是基特没有动。
We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.
我们称失去父亲的人为孤儿;一个失去妻子的鳏夫。但是，这个人知道失去朋友的巨大痛苦，我们用什么名字称呼他呢?在这里，每一种语言都是沉默的，在无能为力中保持着平静。
