A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人类
Human Being
With no matter what human being, taken individually, I always find reasons for concluding that sorrow and misfortune do not suit him; either because he seems too mediocre for anything so great, or, on the contrary, too precious to be destroyed.
不管他是什么人，从个人角度看，我总能找到理由得出这样的结论:悲伤和不幸不适合他;要么因为他看起来太平庸，无法成就如此伟大的事业，要么恰恰相反，因为他太珍贵，无法毁灭。
My horizon on humanity is enlarged by reading the writers of poems, seeing a painting, listening to some music, some opera, which has nothing at all to do with a volatile human condition or struggle or whatever. It enriches me as a human being.
通过阅读诗歌作家的作品，看一幅画，听一些音乐，听一些歌剧，我对人性的视野得到了扩大，而这些都与动荡不安的人类状况或斗争无关。它丰富了我作为一个人。
That's the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end. The fog is like a cage without a key.
这就是抑郁症的原因:一个人几乎可以在任何事情上生存，只要她看到末日就在眼前。但抑郁症是如此的潜伏，它每天都在加剧，根本不可能看到它的尽头。雾就像一个没有钥匙的笼子。
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.
战斗是人类能沉溺其中的最壮观的竞争。它带出所有最好的东西;它去掉了所有的底数。在战斗中人人都害怕。懦夫是那种让恐惧战胜责任感的人。责任是男人的本质。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
No human being will ever know the Truth, for even if they happen to say it by chance, they would not even known they had done so.
没有人会知道真相，因为即使他们碰巧说了这句话，他们也不会知道自己说了这句话。
I thought, briefly, that I would never feel as intensely connected to the world, to another human being, as I did at that moment.
我简短地想，我再也不会像那一刻那样，与这个世界、与另一个人如此紧密地联系在一起了。
To an ordinary human being, love means nothing if it does not mean loving some people more than others.
对于一个普通人来说，如果爱不意味着爱一些人胜过爱其他人，那么爱就没有任何意义。
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。
And I'm as attached to my wife as anybody can be to another human being.
我对我妻子的感情就像任何人对另一个人的感情一样。
I see if I can make human beings look like reptiles.
我看能不能把人类弄得像爬行动物。
