A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
印象
Impression
You know, I think many people have the mistaken impression that Congress regulates Wall Street. In truth that's not the case. The real truth is that Wall Street regulates the Congress.
你知道,我想很多人都有一个错误的印象,认为国会监管华尔街。事实上并非如此。真正的事实是,国会是由华尔街监管的。
I dread handshakes. I've got some problems with my hands, and everywhere I go, people want to impress me with their grip. To make it worse, now women are coming up with that firm shake.
我怕握手。我的手有一些问题,无论我走到哪里,人们都想用他们的握力给我留下深刻的印象。更糟糕的是,现在女性也开始尝试这种坚定的握手。
I'm a Navy brat. You find that a lot of stage actors are Army or Navy brats, because they have the ability to make a big impression, make friends, and then leave just a few months later.
我是个海军小子。你会发现很多舞台演员都是陆军或海军的小混混,因为他们有能力给人留下深刻的印象,结交朋友,然后几个月后就离开了。
You would hardly believe how difficult it is to place a figure alone on a canvas, and to concentrate all the interest on this single and universal figure and still keep it living and real.
你几乎不会相信,把一个人单独放在画布上,把所有的兴趣都集中在这个单一的、普遍的人物身上,同时又保持它的鲜活和真实,是多么困难。
Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them.
我们的灵感时刻并没有丢失,虽然我们没有特别的诗歌来展示它们;因为那些经历给我们留下了不可磨灭的印象,我们时时刻刻都会想起它们。
Churchill was one of the few men I have met who even in the flesh give me the impression of genius. George Bernard Shaw is another. It is amusing to know that each thinks the other is overrated.
丘吉尔是我见过的为数不多的几个能给我天才印象的人之一。萧伯纳是另一个。有趣的是,双方都认为对方被高估了。
Normally, I could hit hard enough, as anyone who studied my fights might have known. But the impression was that I was essentially defensive, the very reverse of a killer, the prize fighter who read books, even Shakespeare.
正常情况下,我能打出足够的重拳,任何研究过我拳法的人都知道这一点。但我给人的印象是,我本质上是防御性的,与一个杀手截然相反,一个阅读书籍的职业拳击手,甚至是莎士比亚。
When I was younger, I had no interest. But after I went to Paris to see the collections for the first time a few years ago, they made a huge impression on me. I realized that fashion is an art form, like acting or painting.
当我年轻的时候,我没有兴趣。但几年前,当我第一次去巴黎看这些收藏品时,它们给我留下了深刻的印象。我意识到时尚是一种艺术形式,就像表演或绘画一样。
It's not an epitaph. I felt I could look back at my life and get a good story out of it. It's a picture of somebody trying to figure things out. I'm not trying to create some impression about myself. That doesn't interest me.
这不是墓志铭。我觉得我可以回顾我的生活,从中得到一个好的故事。这是一个人试图解决问题的图片。我不是想给自己留下什么印象。我对此不感兴趣。
With photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and, so to speak, renew past experiences at will.
摄影创造了一种新的语言。现在,我们第一次可以用现实来表达现实。我们可以看着一个印象,只要我们愿意,我们可以深入研究它,可以说,恢复过去的经验随意。
My impression is that most women public service workers have a long fuse. Precisely because they care so deeply about services, more than anyone, they still want to find a sensible and fair negotiated agreement. But their patience has run out.
我的印象是,大多数的女性公共服务工作者都是脾气暴躁的。正是因为他们比任何人都更关心服务,所以他们仍然希望找到一个合理和公平的谈判协议。但他们的耐心已经耗尽。
My first impression when I made it through was 'Good, because I'm going to prove to you that I deserve to be here', because they told me that sometimes I lack confidence in my performance and sometimes I'm not as consistent as they'd like me to be.
当我成功的时候,我的第一印象是“很好,因为我要向你们证明我值得来到这里”,因为他们告诉我,有时我对自己的表现缺乏信心,有时我不像他们希望的那样始终如一。
KEEP EXPLORING
