A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人类
Human
I think records and music are more appropriate and more respectful of the human soul than the churches are. And more respectful of the needs of humans to communicate with the aspects of themselves that are neglected by language.
我认为唱片和音乐比教堂更合适,更尊重人类的灵魂。更尊重人类与自身被语言忽略的方面交流的需要。
Human material seems to have one major defect: it does not like to be considered merely as human material. It finds it hard to endure the feeling that it must resign itself to passive acceptance of changes introduced from above.
人类的物质似乎有一个主要的缺陷:它不喜欢仅仅被认为是人类的物质。它发现很难忍受这种感觉,即它必须被动地接受来自上面的变化。
It is impossible for us to understand the Church if we regard her as subject to the limitations of human culture. For she is essentially a supernatural organism which transcends human cultures and transforms them to her own ends.
如果我们认为她受人类文化的限制,我们就不可能理解教会。因为她本质上是一个超自然的有机体,它超越了人类文化,并将其转化为自己的目的。
As the writer, you're always a presence in the song. If you get close to what human beings are like, you're writing about common experience. We all do much the same things, so if you nail somebody, then you've also nailed yourself.
作为作者,你总是在歌曲中出现。如果你接近人类的样子,你就在写共同的经历。我们都做着同样的事情,所以如果你钉住了某人,那么你也钉住了自己。
Relativism should be confronted where it damages fundamental human rights, because we're not relativists if we believe that the human being should be at the centre of society and the rights of every human being should be respected.
相对主义应该在损害基本人权的地方受到挑战,因为如果我们认为人类应该处于社会的中心,每个人的权利都应该得到尊重,那么我们就不是相对主义者。
Every abstract picture of the world is as impossible as a blueprint of a storm. Don't be ashamed because you're human: be proud! Inside you, vaults behind vaults open endlessly. You will never be finished, and that's as it should be.
每一幅抽象的世界图景都像风暴的蓝图一样不可能。不要因为你是人类而感到羞耻:要自豪!在你的内心,金库后面的金库永远敞开着。你永远不会结束,这是应该的。
If you really want to show power in its larger aspects, you need to show the effects on the powerless, for good or ill - the human cost of public works. That's what I try to do, show not only how power works but its effect on people.
如果你真的想从更大的方面展示权力,你需要展示对无权者的影响,无论是好是坏——公共工程的人力成本。这就是我想做的,不仅展示权力是如何运作的,也展示它对人们的影响。
I've got my whole life. There's a lifetime of experience, a lifetime of experiencing the road and the music and different players. It makes me a richer human being. I have a greater source of information to tap into, a wealth of life.
我有我的全部生活。有一生的经历,一生的道路,音乐和不同的演奏者。它使我成为一个更富有的人。我有更大的信息源可以挖掘,丰富的生活。
All forms of tampering with human beings, getting at them, shaping them against their will to your own pattern, all thought control and conditioning is, therefore, a denial of that in men which makes them men and their values ultimate.
所有形式的对人类的干预,接近他们,将他们塑造成违背他们意愿的你自己的模式,所有的思想控制和条件作用,因此,是对使他们成为男人和他们的价值终极的男人的否定。
Classic economic theory, based as it is on an inadequate theory of human motivation, could be revolutionized by accepting the reality of higher human needs, including the impulse to self actualization and the love for the highest values.
经典的经济学理论是建立在一个不充分的人类动机理论的基础上的,它可以通过接受更高的人类需求的现实,包括自我实现的冲动和对最高价值的热爱,来进行革命性的变革。
These things don't just come, arrive and settle like a bird picking up a few bits of crumbs. They develop. I think the best word for these things is develop. They develop because of the human beings who just happen to be there at the time.
这些东西不会像小鸟捡起几块面包屑一样飞来飞去。他们发展。我认为对这些事情最好的描述就是发展。它们的发展是因为当时恰好在那里的人类。
No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa.
没有一个社会能够消除人类的悲伤,没有一个政治制度能够把我们从生活的痛苦、对死亡的恐惧和对绝对的渴望中解救出来。是人的条件决定了社会的条件,而不是社会条件决定人的条件。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will.
我不是鸟;没有网能把我缠住;我是一个拥有独立意志的自由的人。
What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined - to strengthen each other - to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
对于两个人的灵魂来说,有什么比在无言的、无法言说的回忆中感到他们是连在一起的——彼此加强——彼此在一起更伟大的事情呢?
The methods of peace propaganda which aim at establishing peace doctrine by argument and by creating a feeling favorable to peace in general seem to fall short of reaching the springs of human action and of dealing with the causes of the conduct which they seek to modify.
和平宣传的方法旨在通过辩论建立和平学说,并在一般情况下创造一种有利于和平的感觉,但这些方法似乎没有达到人类行动的源泉,也没有处理他们试图改变的行为的原因。
The human voice is the most beautiful instrument of all, but it is the most difficult to play.
人类的声音是所有乐器中最美丽的,但它是最难演奏的。
Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being.
维护他人的权利是人类最崇高、最美丽的目标。
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。
