A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
立即
Instantly
The idea that we can actually have an impact on places more or less instantly, too, by responding in some way or not responding, I think, also makes it true.
我认为,通过某种方式的回应或不回应,我们实际上也能或多或少地立即对某些地方产生影响,这一想法也使之成为现实。
Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.
任何称职的人都会坚持他认为正确的事情,但只有稍微好一点的人才会立即毫无保留地承认自己错了。
Let a man get up and say, Behold, this is the truth, and instantly I perceive a sandy cat filching a piece of fish in the background. Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say.
让一个人站起来说,看哪,这是真的,我立刻看到一只沙色的猫在背景里偷鱼。瞧,我说,你把猫忘了。
My kitchen is not a place to live in. I made it white so I can tell instantly if it's not clean-and I like it clean enough to be able to eat off the floors-or the tables, for that matter.
我的厨房不是住的地方。我把它涂成白色,这样我就能立刻分辨出它是否干净——而且我喜欢它干净到可以在地板上或者桌子上吃东西。
Technology gives us power, but it does not and cannot tell us how to use that power. Thanks to technology, we can instantly communicate across the world, but it still doesn't help us know what to say.
技术给了我们力量,但它没有也不能告诉我们如何使用这种力量。多亏了科技,我们可以在世界各地即时交流,但它仍然不能帮助我们知道该说什么。
I have to confess that I have so rarely experienced triumph that I cannot claim to know it well enough to judge, but it seems to be at best a momentary joy followed instantly by sadness, and, then, of necessity, by wariness.
我必须承认,我很少经历过胜利,因此我不能说我很清楚地知道胜利的意义,但它充其量不过是短暂的快乐之后紧接着是悲伤,然后必然是警惕。
You were able to sing something they related to instantly, because it was part of what you felt. It was part of what you had already traveled through. It's part of the people you were associating with daily. It was all of that.
你能够立刻唱出一些与他们相关的东西,因为这是你感觉的一部分。这是你已经经历过的事情的一部分。它是你每天交往的人的一部分。就是这些。
