A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
想法
Idea
The idea that maybe you don't have to own a car if you only need one occasionally may catch on, just like time-sharing caught on in real estate.
如果你只是偶尔需要一辆车，也许你不必拥有一辆车，这种想法可能会流行起来，就像分时度假在房地产中流行一样。
I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I've never been interested in that.
我认为一般来说，现场演奏是个糟糕的主意。很多舞台作品都是对个性的展现，而我对这一点从来都不感兴趣。
I encourage students to pursue an idea far enough so they can see what the cliches and stereotypes are. Only then do they begin to hit pay dirt.
我鼓励学生们追求一个足够远的想法，这样他们就能看到陈词滥调和刻板印象是什么。只有到那时，他们才开始发迹。

If we have been brought up with the idea that life is for suffering and sacrifice, then of course we would seek death to escape this 'vale of tears'.
如果我们从小就有这样的想法，生活就是为了受苦和牺牲，那么我们当然会为了逃离这个“眼泪谷”而寻求死亡。
The philosophical idea that there are no more distances, that we are all just one world, that we are all brothers, is such a drag! I like differences.
那种认为再也没有距离，我们都是一个世界，我们都是兄弟的哲学观点，是如此的拖沓!我喜欢的差异。
The idea of avant-garde art is a very suspicious thing to me, the idea that poetry is new and it keeps being new the way Chevrolets every year are new.
前卫艺术的想法对我来说是一件非常可疑的事情，诗歌是新的，它一直是新的，就像雪佛兰每年都是新的一样。
The world has become so complex that the idea of a power in which everything comes together and can be controlled in a centralized way is now erroneous.
这个世界已经变得如此复杂，以至于把一切都集中在一起并以集中的方式加以控制的权力概念现在是错误的。
I was so enamored with the idea of being in show business so everything was bright to me. I mean, I didn't think of it as being tough and things like that.
我是如此迷恋在演艺圈的想法，所以一切对我来说都是光明的。我的意思是，我不认为这是艰难的事情之类的。
My stories run up and bite me on the leg - I respond by writing down everything that goes on during the bite. When I finish, the idea lets go and runs off.
我的故事跑上来咬我的腿——我的反应是把咬的时候发生的每件事都写下来。当我完成时，这个想法就消失了。
