想象力
Imagination
Well, the fact is that one imagination is critically important, and if you have had your imagination stimulated by what is basically a variety of subjects, you are much more amenable to accepting, to understanding and interacting with the realities of the world.
事实上,一个想象力是非常重要的,如果你的想象力受到各种各样的事物的刺激,你就更容易接受,理解和与现实世界互动。
It is an awesome thing to comprehend the magnitude of the fact that what a human being dreams and imagines can be realized. The power of that truth needs to be directed toward our creation of a future that is worthy of true human value and the world civilization.
理解一个人的梦想和想象是可以实现的,这是一件了不起的事情。这一真理的力量需要指向我们创造一个值得人类真正价值和世界文明的未来。
The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy; but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted: thence proceeds mawkishness.
一个男孩的想象力是健康的,一个男人成熟的想象力是健康的;但在这两者之间有一段生命的空间,在这空间里,灵魂处于骚动之中,性格未定,生活道路未定,雄心壮志高瞻远瞩。
I no longer wonder the elegant arts are unknown here; the rigor of the climate suspends the very powers of the understanding; what then must become of those of the imagination?... Genius will never mount high, where the faculties of the mind are benumbed half the year.
我不再奇怪这里没有高雅的艺术;气候的严峻性使理智的力量完全丧失了;那么,那些想象的东西一定会变成什么样子呢?天才永远不会登上高峰,那里的心智官能半年都处于麻木状态。
I'm not claiming that football is the nation's salvation in this area, but it's one of them, one little thing that apparently has captured the imagination of a large sector of our society. But when football can't be a relatively pure outlet, a fun thing, then it hurts itself.
我并不是说足球是这个国家在这个领域的救星,但它是其中之一,一件小事,显然已经吸引了我们社会很大一部分人的想象力。但当足球不能成为一种相对纯粹的发泄方式、一件有趣的事情时,它就会伤害自己。
Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
今天,我开始明白爱是什么,如果它存在……当我们分开的时候,我们都感到缺少了另一半。我们不完整,就像一本丢了第一卷的两卷书。这就是我想象中的爱:不在时的不完整。
If Copenhagen were a person, that person would be generous, beautiful, elderly, but with a flair. A human being that has certain propensities for quarrelling, filled with imagination and with appetite for the new and with respect for the old - somebody who takes good care of things and of people.
如果哥本哈根是一个人,这个人应该慷慨,美丽,年老,但有才华。一个人有一定的争吵倾向,充满想象力,对新事物充满欲望,对旧事物充满敬意——一个能很好地照顾人和事的人。
