A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
错觉
Illusion
I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking theres some kind of change.
我认为人类的心灵无法理解过去和未来。它们都只是一种幻觉,可以操纵你,让你认为会发生某种变化。
Even if I have already peaked, I have to believe I can improve. I wake up every morning, and go to practice, with the illusion that I'm going to get better that day.
即使我已经达到了顶峰,我也必须相信我能进步。我每天早上醒来,然后去练习,幻想着那一天我会变得更好。
He didn't maintain my illusion of myself, he gave me an illusion of myself. Before I met him, I never thought of myself as an actress. Boy, he sidetracked me in a great way!
他没有保持我对自己的幻想,他给了我对自己的幻想。在我遇见他之前,我从未想过自己会成为一名演员。天哪,他把我扯得太远了!
There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate, upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard.
最大的错误莫过于期望或计算国与国之间的实际恩情。这是一种幻觉,经验必须医治它,一种正当的骄傲应该抛弃它。
Truly it is an evil to be full of faults; but it is a still greater evil to be full of them and to be unwilling to recognize them, since that is to add the further fault of a voluntary illusion.
的确,满是缺点是一种罪恶;但是,满是幻想却不愿意去认识它们,这是更大的罪恶,因为这是一种自愿性幻想的进一步错误。
You can't walk alone. Many have given the illusion, but none have really walked alone. Man is not made that way. Each man is bedded in his people, their history, their culture, and their values.
你不能一个人走。很多人都有过这种错觉,但没有一个人是真正独自行走的。人不是天生的那样。每个人都与他的人民、他们的历史、他们的文化和他们的价值观紧密相连。
The belief may be too often mistaken, but the illusion of coming into direct contact with the past is intoxicating and persuasive, and can result in an interpretation that carries conviction. Sometimes confidence is all that's needed.
这种信念可能经常是错误的,但与过去直接接触的幻觉是令人陶醉和有说服力的,并可能导致一种带有信念的解释。有时候,自信就是一切。
Part of the way the work world works is not so much creating a separation between your work and your free time, but creating the illusion of a separation between your work and your free time. Every day is the weekend for me, which means I'm always busy.
工作世界的运作方式之一,与其说是在你的工作和空闲时间之间制造一种隔阂,不如说是在你的工作和空闲时间之间制造一种隔阂的幻觉。每天对我来说都是周末,这意味着我总是很忙。
Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.
你的问题是你将如何度过这奇特而宝贵的一生。不管你是想要花时间让自己看起来很好,并制造出一种错觉,认为自己拥有控制人和环境的能力,还是想要品尝它,享受它,并发现关于自己的真相。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

如果我们选择,我们可以生活在一个舒适的幻想世界。
Infinite love is the only truth. Everything else is illusion.
