A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
想法
Idea
People ask me all the time, "Where do your ideas come from?" So, to clear up this question...I keep my ideas inside the mind of a tiny man who is tied up in my closet.
人们总是问我，“你的想法从何而来?”所以，为了澄清这个问题……我把我的想法藏在一个被我锁在壁橱里的小个子男人的脑子里。
There's an element of tongue-in-cheek in every one of our songs. Walking off into the sunset, holding hands, and being married forever was not exactly a brand new idea.
我们的每首歌都有一种半开玩笑的成分。走到夕阳下，牵着手，永远结婚并不是一个全新的想法。
If you've lost focus, just sit down and be still. Take the idea and rock it to and fro. Keep some of it and throw some away, and it will renew itself. You need do no more.
如果你失去了注意力，坐下来保持安静。把这个想法拿过来拿去。留着一些，扔掉一些，它就会自我更新。你不需要再做什么了。
The idea of the show is that it's active and that children will become involved and watch the show, but also participate in the show. And I didn't know if that would work.
这个节目的理念是，它是活跃的，孩子们会参与其中，观看节目，但也会参与其中。我不知道这是否可行。
A great idea is usually original to more than one discoverer. Great ideas come when the world needs them. Great ideas surround the world's ignorance and press for admission.
一个伟大的想法通常由不止一个发现者提出。当世界需要伟大的想法时，它们就会出现。伟大的思想围绕着这个世界的无知和入学压力。
Whitney wanted to eradicate the idea that in the case of a language we are dealing with a natural faculty; in fact, social institutions stand opposed to natural institutions.
惠特尼想要消除这样一种想法，即在语言的例子中，我们面对的是一种天生的能力;事实上，社会制度与自然制度是对立的。
The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
神圣的观念是任何文化中最保守的观念之一，因为它试图把其他观念——不确定性、进步、变化——变成犯罪。
The Northern idea of form is more of a process. The various units of the form overlap. You can't tell where some things stop and new things start. This is typical of Sibelius.
北方的形式观念更像是一个过程。表单的各个单元相互重叠。你不知道一些事情在哪里停止，新的事情在哪里开始。这是典型的西贝利厄斯。
Just as the water of a river near its mouth, in its final form, is composed largely of many tributaries, so an idea, in its final form, is composed largely of later additions.
就像河口附近的水，在它的最终形态中，主要由许多支流组成一样，一个思想，在它的最终形态中，主要由后来的补充组成。
Why should the composer be more guilty than the poet who warms to fantasy by a strange flame, making an idea that inspires him the subject of his own very different treatment?
为什么作曲家要比诗人更有罪恶感呢?诗人被一种奇怪的火焰温暖着，产生了一种想法，激发了他的灵感，使他以一种截然不同的方式对待自己的主题。
I guess my idea of a good audience is one that's quiet and listens, but also that's alive: they respond, they're getting the jokes, they're with me. And that' s been happening.
我想，我心目中的好听众应该是那种安静、认真倾听的人，但同时又充满活力:他们会回应，他们会听懂笑话，他们会和我在一起。这种情况一直在发生。
I had to get rid of any idea of hell or any idea of the afterlife. That's what held me, kept me down. So now I just have nothing but contempt for the institution of the church.
我必须摆脱任何关于地狱或来世的想法。这就是我的动力，我的动力。所以现在我对教会的制度只有蔑视。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The idea of a soulmate is beautiful and very romantic to talk about it in a movie or a song, but in reality, I find it scary.
在电影或歌曲中谈论灵魂伴侣的想法很美好，也很浪漫，但在现实中，我觉得它很可怕。
In science, the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to whom the idea first occurs.
在科学上，功劳归于使世界信服的人，而不是首先想到这个主意的人。
I'm definitely responsible for coming in with some basic chord changes, or ideas. Everybody in the band looks to me to come up with the basic seed, so it's not very productive to come in with nothing.
我一定要负责一些基本的和弦变化，或想法。乐队里的每个人都指望我能做出最基本的种子，所以如果什么都不做是不会有多大成效的。
The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot.
这样做的目的并不是要封堵所有的投篮。这样做的目的是让你的对手相信你可以封堵每一个投篮。
I am so full of ideas. But I'm worried I never finish anything I start.
我有很多想法。但我担心我从来没有完成我开始做的事情。
It's not so much that I got that idea at some point, it came up naturally because of the improvisational nature of the story I was telling.
并不是说我在某个时候有了这个想法，而是因为我所讲的故事是即兴创作的。
