A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
信息
Information
Information from destructive activities going back a hundred years right up until today is being incorporated into the system. And as that happens the underlying framework of industrialism is collapsing and causing disintegration.
直到今天，来自一百年前破坏性活动的信息都被纳入了这个系统。当这种情况发生时，工业主义的基本框架正在崩溃并导致解体。
For too long, decisions have been taken behind closed doors - tablets of stone have simply been past down to people without bothering to involve people, listen to their views or give them information about what we are doing and why.
长久以来，决策都是在紧闭的门后做出的——石碑只是简单地传递给人们，而没有费心让人们参与进来，倾听他们的观点，或者告诉他们我们在做什么以及为什么要做。
I would never jeopardize classified information to be brought out to the public. This information is all open source. There is no reason to worry about classification. It is simply an attempt by bureaucrats to cover their rear ends.
我绝不会把要公之于众的机密信息置于危险境地。这些信息都是开源的。没有理由担心分类。这只不过是官僚们试图掩盖自己的弱点。
The printed page conveys information and commitment, and requires active involvement. Television conveys emotion and experience, and it's very limited in what it can do logically. It's an existential experience - there and then gone.
印刷的页面传达信息和承诺，需要积极参与。电视传达情感和经验，它在逻辑上所能做的非常有限。这是一种存在的体验——在那里，然后消失。
I'm moving into that eldership age, you know? I'm at the 'wise woman' age where it's not about learning, but utilizing the information that I have in a way that serves other people. That's a high calling and it's a great responsibility.
我要进入老年了，你知道吗?我正处在一个“智慧女性”的年龄，在这个年龄，我不学习，而是以一种服务于他人的方式利用我所拥有的信息。这是一项崇高的使命，也是一项重大的责任。
To me, every interview, even if you love the artist, needs to be somewhat adversarial. Which doesn't mean you need to attack the person, but you do need to look at it like you're trying to get information that has not been written about before.

It should simply be an empirical matter whether the climate is changing or not and whether we're responsible. But the various sides of the debate have now become so tribal that it's no longer a matter of changing our views as more information comes in.

It's much more difficult to work on a broad subject than on a specific one, because even if it's hard to find the information, if you look hard enough for something specific you will find it, and you will discover things that you wouldn't have thought of before.

I've never crashed a wedding. When I was a kid I, of course, used to crash parties. Crashing a wedding is difficult though because you have to have the suit, and you have to have information in case someone catches you. You have to know at least some names and something.

As we go through this transition where a lot more people will be reading on devices, nobody is paying enough attention to make sure it's a smooth transition. I believe we still need places where people can go to handle, hold and talk about books, get information about what books are out there, and so on.
当我们经历这一转变时，将有更多的人在设备上阅读，但没有人足够关注确保这是一个平稳的转变。我相信我们仍然需要一个地方，人们可以去处理，持有和谈论书籍，获得关于书籍的信息，等等。
We have a way of dealing with information that has sort of personal - personally identifying information in it. But there are legitimate secrets - you know, your records with your doctor; that's a legitimate secret. But we deal with whistleblowers that are coming forward that are really sort of well motivated.
我们有一种处理信息的方法，其中包含了个人识别信息。但也有合法的秘密——你知道，你和医生的记录;这是一个合法的秘密。但是我们要处理那些主动站出来的告密者他们的动机非常好。
