A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
幻想
Illusions
The contemplation of things as they are, without substitution or imposture, without error or confusion, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention.
思考事物的本来面目,没有替代或欺骗,没有错误或困惑,其本身就比整个发明的收获更高贵。
Realizing this, I knew that the actual space of a room could be broken down and played with by planting illusions of real light (electric light) at crucial junctures in the room's composition.
意识到这一点,我知道房间的实际空间可以被打破,并通过在房间构成的关键节点植入真实光线(电光)的幻觉来玩。
Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.
人际关系就是一切。 宇宙中的一切之所以存在,只是因为它是存在的 和其他一切的关系。没有任何事物是孤立存在的。 我们必须停止假装我们是可以独立完成任务的个体。
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
历史上最惨痛的教训之一是:如果我们被愚弄的时间足够长,我们往往会拒绝任何有关这种欺骗的证据。竹竿把我们捉住了。一旦你让一个骗子控制了你,你几乎永远不会再得到它。
For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most certainly changes your perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us.
对于那些从太空看到地球的人,以及成百上千的人来说,这次经历无疑会改变你的视角。我们在这个世界上分享的东西比那些使我们分裂的东西更有价值。
Because our generation has waited so long to have babies, we feel we've 'discovered' something that women have been doing for thousands of years. I have no illusions that I will be in the same situation as the average working mother. I'm not trying to prove anything - I just want to have kids.
因为我们这一代人等了这么久才要孩子,我们觉得我们已经“发现”了女性几千年来一直在做的事情。我不抱任何幻想,认为自己会和普通的职业母亲一样。我不想证明什么——我只是想要孩子。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
It is natural to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes to that siren until she allures us to our death.
沉湎于希望的幻想是很自然的。我们倾向于对那个海妖闭上眼睛,直到她引诱我们走向死亡。
Our fears are more numerous than our dangers, and we suffer more in our imagination than in reality.
我们的恐惧比我们的危险更多,我们在想象中比在现实中遭受更多的痛苦。
It takes a lot to wound a man without illusions.
没有幻想的人是很难受伤害的。
I can think of nothing less pleasurable than a life devoted to pleasure.
我能想到的最令人愉快的事莫过于追求快乐的生活。
I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all.
我现在从两个方面来看待生活 从赢和输,还是以某种方式 我记得这是人生的幻觉 我真的一点也不了解生活。
There are as many pillows of illusion as flakes in a snow-storm. We wake from one dream into another dream.
幻想的枕头就像暴风雪中的雪花一样多。我们从一个梦醒到另一个梦。
