A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

傲慢

Arrogance

Sometimes a neighbor whom we have disliked a lifetime for his arrogance and conceit lets fall a single commonplace remark that shows us another side, another man, really; a man uncertain, and puzzled, and in the dark like ourselves.

有时候,一个我们一生都不喜欢的邻居,因为他的傲慢和自负,说出一句平凡的话,就会让我们看到他的另一面,一个真正的人;一个像我们一样茫然不知所措的人。

Honest discussions - even and perhaps especially on topics about which we disagree - can help us resist hypocrisy and arrogance. They can also help us live up to the basic ideals, such as liberty and justice for all, on which our country was founded.

诚实的讨论——甚至可能是关于我们不同意的话题——可以帮助我们抵制虚伪和傲慢。它们还可以帮助我们实现我们国家赖以建立的基本理想,如人人享有自由和正义。

A person unlearns arrogance when he knows he is always among worthy human beings; being alone fosters presumption. Young people are arrogant because they always associate with their own peers, those who are all really nothing but who would like to be very important.

当一个人知道自己总是和有价值的人在一起时,他就会忘记傲慢;独处助长傲慢。年轻人是傲慢的,因为他们总是与自己的同龄人交往,这些人真的什么都不是,只是想成为非常重要的人。

You've got to know what your 'thing' is, and you've got to call it a 'thing,' whether it's meanness, nastiness, un-forgiveness, arrogance, ego, resistance, rebelliousness or defiance. Everybody's got a 'thing,' and once you call your 'thing' a 'thing,' we can give it a place to be or dismiss it.

你必须知道你的“东西”是什么,你必须把它叫做“东西”,不管是卑鄙、肮脏、不宽恕、傲慢、自我、反抗、反叛还是反抗。每个人都有一个“东西”,一旦你把你的“东西”叫做一个“东西”,我们就可以给它一个地方,或者把它扔掉。
