A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
想象
Imagine
We were alone. Where, I could not say, hardly imagine. All was black, and such a dense black that, after some minutes, my eyes had not been able to discern even the faintest glimmer.
我们是一个人。我说不出,简直无法想象。四周一片漆黑,一片浓密的漆黑,几分钟后,我的眼睛连最微弱的闪光也看不清了。
We both can be the most beautiful and benevolent creatures on the planet, but then there's another side that can be as harsh and as ugly as the darkest thing you could imagine seeing.
我们都可以是这个星球上最美丽、最善良的生物,但也有另外一面,它可能是你能想象到的最残酷、最丑陋的东西。
I'm shy. I can go on a trip for days and not go because I won't sit on a toilet seat on a plane. I'm certainly not going to go on somebody's lawn. Could you imagine, in a cocktail dress?
我害羞。我可以去旅行几天也不去,因为我不会在飞机上坐在马桶上。我当然不会去别人家的草坪。你能想象穿着酒会礼服的样子吗?
Can you imagine that Cuba and Europe's youth, who had forgotten about traditional music, who only thought of rock music, are now looking back towards their grandparents? That is a phenomenon.
你能想象古巴和欧洲的年轻人,他们已经忘记了传统音乐,他们只想到摇滚音乐,现在正回头看他们的祖父母吗?这是一种现象。
Morgan liked to imagine the town as some immense yeast culture, left in a deep cupboard by an absent-minded lab technician, festering uncontrolled, running rampant in the ideal growing conditions.
摩根喜欢把这个小镇想象成一个巨大的酵母培养皿,被一个心不在焉的实验室技术员留在一个很深的柜子里,溃烂得无法控制,在理想的生长条件下肆意蔓延。
All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose
所有成功人士,无论男女,都是伟大的梦想家。他们想象他们的未来会是什么样子,在各个方面都很理想,然后他们每天朝着他们的远景、目标或目的努力
Well, I think that if you sincerely try to imagine what life is like for another person - not in a mocking way, not in a satirical way, but in a sincere, compassionate way - I don't think that's exploitive.
嗯,我认为,如果你真诚地去想象另一个人的生活是什么样的——不是用嘲笑的方式,不是用讽刺的方式,而是用真诚的、富有同情心的方式——我不认为这是剥削。
Nobody has things just as he would like them. The thing to do is to make a success with what material I have. It is a sheer waste of time and soul-power to imagine what I would do if things were different. They are not different.
没有人拥有他想要的东西。我要做的就是用我所有的材料取得成功。想象如果事情不一样,我会怎么做,这纯粹是浪费时间和精神力量。他们没有什么不同。
There are many things that people do happily that I can't imagine why they would do it... But I have to say that even though I am critical or judgmental of society at large, I'm not critical of people individually. We are who we are.
有很多事情人们做得很开心,我无法想象他们为什么会这样做……但我必须说,尽管我对整个社会持批评或评判态度,但我并不对个人持批评态度。我们就是我们。
We got into all the trouble you could ever imagine. We figured that if the Jones boys and all the gangsters ran Chicago, we had our own territory now. All the stores, all the crime, we were in charge of everything, my stepbrother and my brother.
我们遇到了你能想象到的所有麻烦。我们想,如果琼斯家的孩子和所有的匪徒都来管理芝加哥,我们现在就有自己的地盘了。所有的商店,所有的犯罪,一切都由我们负责,我的继兄弟和我的兄弟。
The pictures we saw before we got down here didn't even touch the reality of what it is like being here. We can be right on the beach with all the devastation and still not be able to imagine what it was like when the wall of water actually came up.
我们来到这里之前看到的照片甚至没有触及这里的真实情况。我们可能正站在海滩上,周围一片狼藉,但仍然无法想象当水墙真正浮出水面时是什么样子。
There is the danger of over preparation, of loss of spontaneity; over rehearsal is the most terrible thing you can imagine. We do have a very close association between costume and set designer, though. And the cameraman is very important, of course.
有过度准备的危险,有失去自发性的危险;排练过度是你能想象到的最可怕的事情。不过,我们在服装和布景设计师之间有非常密切的联系。当然,摄影师非常重要。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Imagine a world in which there is no time. Only images.
想象一个没有时间的世界。只有图片。

我妻子是我的灵魂伴侣。我无法想象没有她的日子。
People who don't see their nature and imagine they can practice thoughtlessness all the time are lairs and fools.

No one feels another's grief, no one understands another's joy. People imagine they can reach one another. In reality they only pass each other by.

It's tempting to imagine how we could hurt someone close, because it reminds us how fiercely we love them.
我们很容易想象自己会如何伤害身边的人,因为这会提醒我们,我们是多么地爱他们。
