A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

希望

Hope

I've always thought of myself as more of a character actress. I've tried to do different things, but I've always been under the radar and that's how I like it. I've been really blessed to work this long and I just hope I continue to get better and better and better and better.

我一直认为自己更像是一个角色演员。我尝试过做不同的事情,但我总是在雷达下,这就是我喜欢它的原因。我真的很幸运能工作这么久,我只希望我能越来越好,越来越好,越来越好。

‘Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!’ cries she With silent lips. ‘Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door.’

“保留古老的土地,你那传奇的盛况!”她用沉默的嘴唇喊道。“给我你那疲倦的、可怜的、挤成一团渴望自由呼吸的群众,给我你那熙熙攘攘的岸边可怜的垃圾。把这些,无家可归的人,被暴风雨袭击的人,寄给我;我在金色的门边举起我的灯。”

There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.

世界上没有幸福,也没有痛苦;只有一种状态与另一种状态的比较,仅此而已。感受过最深悲伤的人,最能体会到最大的幸福。我们必须体验过死亡的滋味,才能体会到生活的乐趣。

People who put my paintings on their walls are putting their values on their walls: faith, family, home, a simpler way of living, the beauty of nature, quiet, tranquillity, peace, joy, hope. They beckon you into this world that provides an alternative to your nightly news broadcast.

把我的画挂在墙上的人是在把他们的价值观挂在墙上:信仰、家庭、家、更简单的生活方式、自然之美、宁静、安宁、和平、快乐、希望。他们召唤你进入这个世界,这个世界为你的晚间新闻广播提供了另一种选择。

My favorite fruit is grapes. Because with grapes, you always get another chance. 'Cause, you know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you're stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. But if you have a crappy grape, no problem - just move on to the next. 'Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.'

我最喜欢的水果是葡萄。因为有了葡萄,你总会有另一个机会。因为,你知道,如果你有一个烂苹果或桃子,你就只能吃那个烂水果。但是如果你有一颗烂葡萄,没问题——继续下一颗。葡萄:希望的果实。

I have learned two lessons in my life: first, there are no sufficient literary, psychological, or historical answers to human tragedy, only moral ones. Second, just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.

在我的一生中,我学到了两个教训:第一,对于人类悲剧,没有足够的文学、心理或历史答案,只有道德答案。第二,正如绝望只能从别人那里得到一样,希望也只能从别人那里得到。

Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.

看来,勇气就是克服危险、不幸、恐惧和不公的力量,同时继续在内心确认,生活及其所有的痛苦都是美好的;一切都是有意义的,即使在某种意义上超出了我们的理解;总有明天。

I tried to use words that were dealing with the emotional quality that any human being could recognize in the way that they felt about their country. It's to do with the world we live in. That world is a brutal one and full of war. It's also full of many wonderful things and love and hope.

我试着用一些词语来表达情感,任何一个人都能从他们对国家的感受中看出这种情感。这与我们生活的世界有关。那个世界是残酷的,充满了战争。它也充满了许多美好的东西,爱和希望。

On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we're going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.

在每个方面都有明确的答案,可以让这个国家变得更强大,但我们要打破人们的恐惧和沮丧情绪。我们的工作是确保即使我们取得了进展,我们也在给人们带来希望和对未来的憧憬。

You travel with the hope that something unexpected will happen. It has to do with enjoying being lost and figuring it out and the satisfaction. I always get a little disappointed when I know too well where I'm going, or when I've lived in a place so long that there's no chance I could possibly get lost.

你旅行的时候希望会发生一些意想不到的事情。它与享受迷失、发现迷失和满足有关。当我太清楚自己要去哪里,或者我在一个地方住了太久,不可能迷路的时候,我总是有点失望。

My career has been very strange. My career is like a heart monitor. I get involved in a good project now and then to keep things going. And then I make things that I work on that I hope are going to be good so I can make a living and keep a roof over the heads of those little monsters I have in my house.

我的职业生涯一直很奇怪。我的职业就像一个心脏监测器。我偶尔会参与一个好的项目,让事情继续下去。然后我做我所做的东西,我希望这些东西会很好,这样我就能谋生,并在我房子里那些小怪物的头上有一个屋顶。

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life. And the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart you'll know when you find it.

你的工作将占据你生活的很大一部分。真正满足的唯一方法是做你认为是伟大的工作。做伟大工作的唯一方法就是热爱你所做的。如果你还没有找到,继续找,不要停下来。当你找到它的时候,你会全心全意地去做。
