A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
希望
Hope
Hope and Memory have one daughter and her name is Art, and she has built her dwelling far from the desperate field where men hang out their garments upon forked boughs to be banners of battle. O beloved daughter of Hope and Memory, be with me for a while.
希望和记忆只有一个女儿，她的名字叫艺术，她建造了自己的住所，远离绝望的田野，那里的人们把衣服挂在分叉的树枝上，作为战争的旗帜。呵，我所亲爱的，希望和记忆的女儿，与我同在吧!
Favored Nations is a long-term commitment. Our hope is that those who are passionate about real musicianship will want to hear and own most of our albums. We will set out to attain the same direct relationship with our customers that we have with our artists.
受惠国是一个长期的承诺。我们希望那些对真正的音乐有激情的人会想听我们的音乐，并拥有我们大部分的专辑。我们将一如既往地与我们的艺术家建立直接的客户关系。
I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.
我试着减少亵渎，但在写这本书的时候，我减少了太多的亵渎，以至于我担心写不出什么来。也许我们将不得不把它简单地看作是一本亵渎神明的书，并希望下一本书将少一些亵渎神明，或者更神圣一些。
At least believe this many humans, who are interested obviously in this topic. Many of them visited me after lectures and meetings, in hope that I can give concrete answers to their questions. For it was clear: If that does not know it, who is to then know it?
至少相信这么多人，他们显然对这个话题感兴趣。他们中的许多人在讲座和会议结束后来找我，希望我能对他们的问题给出具体的答案。因为有一件事是清楚的，就是不知道，有谁知道呢?
I think it's realistic to have hope. One can be a perverse idealist and say the easiest thing: 'I despair. The world's no good.' That's a perverse idealist. It's practical to hope, because the hope is for us to survive as a human species. That's very realistic.
我认为有希望是现实的。一个人可能是一个固执的理想主义者，他会说最简单的话:‘我绝望了。这世界不好。“那是个固执的理想主义者。希望是现实的，因为希望是我们作为人类物种生存的希望。这是非常现实的。
There was a story that I was in a shoe shop and that I threw a pair of flip flops at the wall, shouting, 'I can't believe how overpriced these are!' I thought, 'Gosh, if I'm gonna take a big stand on something I would hope it would be for more than flip flops!'
有个故事说，我在一家鞋店里，我把一双人字拖扔到墙上，大声喊道:“我不敢相信这双鞋定价这么高!”我想，‘天哪，如果我要对某件东西采取强硬立场，我希望它不仅仅是指人字拖!’
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
完成每一天的工作。你已经尽力了。一些错误和荒谬已经悄然而至;尽快忘掉它们。明天是新的一天。你应该平静地开始，带着高昂的精神，而不是被你过去的胡言乱语所拖累。
To sit patiently with a yearning that has not yet been fulfilled, and to trust that, that fulfillment will come, is quite possibly one of the most powerful "magic skills" that human beings are capable of. It has been noted by almost every ancient wisdom tradition.
带着一种尚未实现的渴望耐心地坐着，并相信这种渴望会实现，这很可能是人类能够拥有的最强大的“魔法技能”之一。几乎每一个古老的智慧传统都注意到了这一点。
It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man.
正是在承认无知和承认不确定性的过程中，人类才有希望朝着某个方向不断地运动，而不是像人类历史上的不同时期那样，被限制，被永久地阻挡。
I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.
我想有时候你需要做的就是听别人说同样的话，然后意识到你并不孤单。我试着在歌曲中注入一些希望，无论在什么情况下，这样就不仅仅是肮脏，苦差事和痛苦的生活。
I hope we never get to the point that we put ourselves in Jesus' place. But when I read the New Testament basically, we get three mandates: to love God, to love each other, and to take care of the least among us. And I think this is at least a step in the right direction.
我希望我们永远不要把自己放在耶稣的位置上。但当我读新约的时候，我们得到了三个命令:爱上帝，彼此相爱，照顾我们中间最小的人。我认为这至少是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。
Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.
希望是一种心态，而不是世界。从这种深刻而有力的意义上讲，希望并不等同于一切顺利带来的喜悦，也不等同于愿意投资那些显然正在走向成功的企业，而是一种因为好事而努力工作的能力。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.
进入此地的人哪，你们都当弃绝指望。
Man is, properly speaking, based upon hope, he has no other possession but hope; this world of his is emphatically the place of hope.
恰当地说，人是基于希望的，除了希望，他别无所有;他的这个世界充满了希望。
The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
悲观主义者从每一个机会中看到困难。乐观主义者在每个困难中都能看到机会。
If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
如果你想造一艘船，不要让人们聚在一起捡木头，不要给他们分配任务和工作，而是要教他们渴望无边无际的大海。
You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know.
你可以选择视而不见，但你不能再说你不知道。
The only true borders lie between day and night, between life and death, between hope and loss.
唯一真正的界限是在白天和黑夜之间，在生与死之间，在希望和失去之间。
