A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人类
Human
Because she looks so real and natural, there is something unsettling about her. She's our direct ancestor, so you expect to see something human, but she is not a human and not an ape, but something in between.
因为她看起来那么真实和自然,所以她有些不安。她是我们的直系祖先,所以你希望看到一些人类的东西,但她不是人类也不是猿,而是介于两者之间。
I do not think that it is right for me to start giving opinions about the human rights situation of any country, including Gambia, except when those crimes translate into the crimes that I have to investigate.
我不认为我应该开始就任何国家的人权状况发表意见,包括冈比亚,除非这些罪行转化为我必须调查的罪行。
The structure of life I have described in buildings - the structure which I believe to be objective - is deeply and inextricably connected with the human person, and with the innermost nature of human feeling.
我在建筑物中所描述的生活结构- -我认为是客观的结构- -与人有着深刻和不可分割的联系,并与人的感情的最内在的本质相联系。
The cosmical importance of this conclusion is profound and the possibilities it opens for the future very remarkable, greater in fact than any suggested before by science in the whole history of the human race.
这一结论的宇宙重要性是深远的,它为未来打开的可能性是非常显著的,事实上比科学在整个人类历史上提出的任何建议都要大。
In justice to human society it may perhaps be said of almost all the polities and civil institutions in the world, however imperfect, that they have been founded in and carried on with very considerable wisdom.
为了公正地对待人类社会,也许可以这样说,世界上几乎所有的政治和公民机构,无论多么不完善,都是以相当大的智慧建立和发展起来的。
In Hitchcock's eyes the movement was dramatic, not the acting. When he wanted the audience to be moved, he moved the camera. He was a subtle human being, and he was also the best director I have ever worked with.
在希区柯克看来,这个动作是戏剧性的,而不是表演。当他想要观众被感动时,他移动了相机。他是一个敏锐的人,也是我合作过的最好的导演。
I am not religious. I do not believe that personhood is conferred upon conception. But I also do not believe that a human embryo is the moral equivalent of a hangnail and deserves no more respect than an appendix.
我不信教。我不认为人格是由概念赋予的。但我也不认为人类胚胎在道德上等同于一根倒刺,它只配得上一个阑尾。
The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
如果没有需要克服的限制,人类经验的惊人丰富性将失去一些有益的快乐。如果没有黑暗的山谷可供穿越,山顶的时间也不会如此美妙。
It is our task to inquire into the causes that have brought about the observed differentiation, and to investigate the sequence of events that have led to the establishment of the multifarious forms of human life.
我们的任务是探究引起所观察到的分化的原因,并调查导致人类生活的多种形式形成的一系列事件。
The world does not speak. Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs. But it cannot propose a language for us to speak. Only other human beings can do that.
世界不说话。只有我们做的。一旦我们用一种语言给自己编程,这个世界就能让我们持有信念。但它不能为我们提供一种语言。只有其他人类才能做到这一点。
You can learn all about the human condition from covering the crime beat in a big city - you don't need to go to Beirut for that - but a foreign correspondent begins to understand poverty from a different perspective.
你可以从报道大城市的犯罪现场了解到人类的所有状况——你不需要去贝鲁特报道——但一名外国记者开始从一个不同的角度理解贫困。
From this bestial view that the human mind consists of only sense certainty, pleasure and pain, Locke developed an equally bestial theory of the nation. Man originally existed in a State of Nature of complete liberty.
洛克从这种兽性的观点,即人类的心灵只由感觉确定性、快乐和痛苦组成,发展出一种同样兽性的国家理论。人类最初存在于完全自由的自然状态中。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be 'meetings.'
如果你必须用一个词来说明人类没有实现、也永远不会实现其全部潜力的原因,那么这个词就是“会议”。
The decisive moment in human evolution is perpetual. That is why the revolutionary spiritual movements that declare all former things worthless are in the right, for nothing has yet happened.
人类进化的决定性时刻是永恒的。这就是为什么那些宣称过去的一切都是毫无价值的革命精神运动是正确的,因为还没有发生任何事情。
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.
永远要认识到人类个体是目的,不要把它们作为达到目的的手段。
If we can put a man on the moon and sequence the human genome, we should be able to devise something close to a universal digital public library.
如果我们能把一个人送上月球,并对人类基因组进行测序,我们应该能够设计出类似于一个通用数字公共图书馆的东西。
It's all right for a woman to be, above all, human. I am a woman first of all.
女人最重要的是要有人性。首先我是一个女人。
Favor comes because for a brief moment in the great space of human change and progress some general human purpose finds in him a satisfactory embodiment.
因为在人类变化和进步的伟大空间里,有一段短暂的时间,某些人类的普遍目标在他身上得到了令人满意的体现。
