A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人类
Human
There was a time when the most powerful of human intellects were deluded by the gibberish of the astrologer and the alchemist... But time advances; facts accumulate; doubts arise... The highest intellects, like the tops of mountains, are the first to catch and to reflect the dawn.
曾经有一段时间，人类最强大的智慧被占星家和炼金术士的胡言乱语所迷惑……但是时间进步;事实的积累;怀疑出现……最高的智慧，如高山之巅，最先捕捉并反射黎明。
People and squirrels are very different. Most people will not argue that. But I find that there is one situation in which they're very similar. And that is: when I am driving towards them in my car. Then they're kind of hard to tell apart - especially if the human is kind of hairy.
人和松鼠是非常不同的。大多数人不会这么认为。但我发现有一种情况它们非常相似。那就是:当我开着车向他们驶来的时候。然后它们就很难区分了——尤其是如果人类是多毛的。
I think that people have expectations of themselves and other people that are based on these fictions that are presented to them as the way human life and relationships could be, in some sort of weird, ideal world, but they never are. So you're constantly being shown this garbage and you can't get there.
我认为人们对自己和他人的期望是建立在这些小说的基础上的这些小说向人们展示了人类的生活和人际关系，在某种奇怪的理想世界中可能是怎样的，但是他们从来没有。所以你不断地被展示这些垃圾，你无法到达那里。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
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。
I'm not the first person to have discovered evidence that consciousness exists beyond the body. Brief, wonderful glimpses of this realm are as old as human history.
我不是第一个发现意识存在于肉体之外的证据的人。对这一领域的短暂而奇妙的一瞥与人类历史一样古老。
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。
Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists.
写小说使我对人的一生中未知的东西产生了一种持久的敬意，让我有了一种去哪里寻找线索、如何追随、如何联系的感觉，在错综复杂的世界中找到一条清晰的线。
The human body has two ends on it: one to create with and one to sit on. Sometimes people get their ends reversed. When this happens they need a kick in the seat of the pants.
人体有两个末端:一个用来创造，另一个用来坐着。有时人们会适得其反。当这种情况发生时，他们需要从裤子的座位上踢一下。
