A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
相互依存
Interdependence
Communication is a continual balancing act, juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy and independence. To survive in the world, we have to act in concert with others, but to survive as ourselves, rather than simply as cogs in a wheel, we have to act alone.
沟通是一种持续的平衡行为，在亲密和独立的需求之间平衡。为了在这个世界上生存，我们必须与他人合作，但是为了作为我们自己而生存，而不仅仅是作为一个齿轮上的齿轮，我们必须独自行动。
There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
没有所谓的“白手起家”的人。我们是由成千上万的人组成的。每一个曾经为我们做过一件好事，或对我们说过一句鼓励的话的人，都已经成为我们性格、思想以及成功的组成部分。
No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.
没有一种善举会自行停止。一种行为导致另一种行为。下面是一个很好的例子。一个简单的善举就能把树根向四面八方抛去，树根就会发芽，长成新的树。善良对他人所做的最大的贡献就是使他们善待自己。
We have learned to say that the good must be extended to all of society before it can be held secure by any one person or any one class. But we have not yet learned to add to that statement, that unless all [people] and all classes contribute to a good, we cannot even be sure that it is worth having.
我们已经学会说，只有把善扩展到整个社会，才能使任何一个人或任何一个阶层得到保障。但是，我们还没有学会给这句话加上一句:除非所有的人、所有的阶级都为一件好事做出贡献，否则我们甚至不能肯定它是否值得拥有。
There is an endless net of threads throughout the universe... At every crossing of the threads there is an individual. And every individual is a crystal bead. And every crystal bead reflects Not only the light from every other crystal in the net But also every other reflection Throughout the entire universe.
宇宙中有无数的丝线…… 每条线的交叉处都有一个独立的点。 每个人都是一颗水晶珠。 每颗水晶珠都会反射 不仅是网中其他晶体发出的光 还有其他的反射 整个宇宙。
When I think about the world I would like to leave to my daughter and the grandchildren I hope to have, it is a world that moves away from unequal, unstable, unsustainable interdependence to integrated communities - locally, nationally and globally - that share the characteristics of all successful communities.
当我想到世界上我想让我的女儿和孙子,我希望这是一个世界,远离不平等,不稳定、不可持续的相互依存综合社区——本地,全国和全球共享的特点,所有成功的社区。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Civilization grew in the beginning from the minute that we had communication -- particularly communication by sea that enabled people to get inspiration and ideas from each other and to exchange basic raw materials.
从我们有了交流的那一刻起，文明就开始发展了——尤其是海上的交流，使人们能够从彼此身上获得灵感和想法，并交换基本的原材料。
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
我认为，领导力一度意味着肌肉;但是今天它意味着与人相处。
To help the poor to a capacity for action and liberty is something essential for one's own health as well as theirs: there is a needful gift they have to offer which cannot be offered so long as they are confined by poverty.
帮助穷人获得行动和自由的能力对一个人以及他们自己的健康都是至关重要的:他们必须提供一种必要的礼物，只要他们受到贫困的限制，这种礼物就不能提供。
Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens.
我们的生活就是一个学徒，去认识这样一个真理:每绕一个圆圈，就会有另一个圆圈出现;自然界没有终点，但每一个终点都是一个起点，在每一个深渊之下都有一个更低的深渊在打开。
The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another
慈悲的整个理念是建立在对所有这些生命的相互依赖的敏锐意识之上的，这些生命都是彼此的一部分，并且都参与到彼此之中
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.
梦想变成了行动。从行动中再次萌生梦想;这种相互依赖产生了最高形式的生活。
