A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人类
Human Being
I thought to myself, there's a man who gave up his life to serve others - to touch people in that way is probably the greatest thing you can do as a human being.
我对自己说,有一个人为了服务他人而放弃了自己的生命——以这种方式去接触他人,可能是你作为一个人能做的最伟大的事情。
The most important tribute any human being can pay to a poem or a piece of prose he or she really loves is to learn it by heart. Not by brain, by heart; the expression is vital.
任何一个人对一首他或她真正喜爱的诗歌或散文所能表达的最重要的敬意,就是把它背下来。不是用头脑,而是用心;表达是至关重要的。
The problem here is with a human being, not with a monster, not with an animal. The human being does things that even the monster does not do, because the human is more sophisticated.
这里的问题是人类,而不是怪物,也不是动物。人类做的事情甚至是怪物都不会做的,因为人类更复杂。
So don't think in reality I am a singer, I think I am a human being that has sung always all her life, and has learned a little to sing, and has found herself in the middle of a career.
所以不要认为我是一个歌手,我认为我是一个一生都在唱歌的人,学了一点唱歌,发现自己正处于事业的中期。
Hairdressers are a wonderful breed. You work one-on-one with another human being and the object is to make them feel so much better and to look at themselves with a twinkle in their eye.
理发师是一个很好的品种。你和另一个人一对一地工作,目的是让他们感觉好很多,用他们眼中闪烁的光芒来审视自己。
Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever.
看着一个人平静地死去,让我们想起一颗流星;在浩瀚的天空中,有一百万盏灯,其中有一盏在短暂的瞬间突然熄灭,然后永远消失在无尽的黑夜中。
The most interesting thing in the world is another human being who wonders, suffers and raises the questions that have bothered him to the last day of his life, knowing he will never get the answers.
世界上最有趣的事情是另一个人,他会思考、忍受并提出那些困扰他直到生命最后一天的问题,他知道自己永远得不到答案。
A human body is a conversation going on, both within the cells and between the cells, and they’re telling each other to grow and to die; when you’re sick, something’s gone wrong with that conversation
一个人的身体是一个正在进行的对话,在细胞内部和细胞之间,它们告诉彼此生长和死亡;当你生病的时候,谈话就会出问题
The thing is, I don't believe in most of what's done. The amount of financial and imaginative energy that's put into mediocrity is just amazing which I find to be fundamentally offensive as a human being.
问题是,我不相信大部分已经做过的事情。在平庸中投入的大量金钱和想象力是惊人的,我发现这从根本上是对一个人的冒犯。
I parody myself every chance I get. I try to make fun of myself and let people know that I'm a human being, and these things that have happened to me are real. I'm not just some cartoon who exists and suddenly doesn't exist.
我一有机会就模仿自己。我试着取笑自己,让人们知道我是一个人,这些发生在我身上的事情是真实的。我不只是某个卡通人物存在然后突然不存在。
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。
It was a very profound experience, getting in touch with that part of us, in all of us human beings, that is committed beyond yourself to the point of giving everything you have, including your life, for other people, for your fellow man.
这是一次非常深刻的经历,与我们所有人身上的那一部分接触,那部分超越了你自己,奉献你所拥有的一切,包括你的生命,为他人,为你的同胞。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Hardly any human being is capable of pursuing two professions or two arts rightly.
几乎没有人能够同时从事两种职业或两种艺术。
Every human being is intended to have a character of his own; to be what no other is, and to do what no other can do.
每个人都有自己的性格;做别人不能做的事,做别人不能做的事。
I'd like to think I'm a caring human being.
我愿意认为我是一个有爱心的人。
No human being will work hard at anything unless they believe that they are working for competence.
没有人会在任何事情上努力工作,除非他们相信他们是为了能力而工作。
The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded.
笑话的目的不是贬低一个人,而是提醒他自己已经被贬低了。
