A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

诚实

Honest

Men are as we have always known them, neither better nor worse from the hearts of rogues there springs a latent honesty, from the depths of honest men there emerges a brutish appetite - a thirst for extermination, a desire for blood.

正如我们一直所了解的那样,无论好人还是坏人,都不会从恶棍的心里产生一种潜在的诚实,从诚实的人的内心深处产生一种野蛮的欲望——一种消灭的渴望,一种嗜血的欲望。

The two most common charges against the older fiction, that it pleased wickedly and that it taught nothing, had broken down before the discovery, except in illiberal sects, that the novel is fitted both for honest use and for pleasure.

人们对老小说最常见的两种指责是,它让人感到邪恶地愉悦,它没有教给人们任何东西,但在人们发现这部小说既适合于正当使用,又适合于娱乐之前,这两种指责就已经站不住脚了。

I have always been an honest trader. I come from a school of traders where there was honour in the deal. No contracts, just a handshake and that's it, done. That's the way I prefer to do business but it's not always possible these days, sadly.

我一直是个诚实的商人。我来自一个交易商的学校,在那里交易是有荣誉的。没有合同,只是握手,就这样。我更喜欢用这种方式做生意,但遗憾的是,如今这种方式并不总是可行的。

When there are multiple versions of a story, you really have three ways to go. You can pick the most sensational version. You can try to balance things in your gut to get to what you think is the honest truth. Or you can err on the side of kindness.

当一个故事有多个版本时,实际上有三种方法。你可以选择最耸人听闻的版本。你可以试着平衡你内心的东西,以得到你认为是真实的真相。或者你可能会因为善良而犯错。

KEEP EXPLORING

沿着这个主题,再读几句。

I was finding it very difficult to find a label that understood what I wanted to do and really believed that people wanted to hear something honest and a little bit different. So, I did feel a bit like a clown. You're knocking on everyone's door trying to get them to believe what you're doing.

我发现很难找到一个品牌能理解我想做什么,并真正相信人们想听到一些诚实的、有点不同的东西。所以,我觉得自己有点像个小丑。你在敲每个人的门,试图让他们相信你在做什么。

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT

给此刻的你,一点向前的力量。
