A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
追求
Aspire
Historically, Heathrow has been something of a joke, outweighed by its excellent connections. We have to aspire to having an airport at Heathrow with two runways which is a world-class airport. It's a big challenge.
从历史上看，希思罗机场一直是一个笑话，其出色的连接能力超过了它。我们希望希思罗机场有两条跑道，这是一个世界级的机场。这是一个很大的挑战。
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.
一个高尚的人用一种高于自己的思想来比较和估计自己;一个卑鄙的人，比他自己还卑鄙。一个产生抱负;另一种野心，是一个庸俗的人所追求的。
As kids we didn't complain about being poor; we talked about how rich we were going to be and made moves to get the lifestyle we aspired to by any means we could. And as soon as we had a little money, we were eager to show it.
作为孩子，我们没有抱怨贫穷;我们谈论了我们将变得多么富有，并采取行动，尽我们所能获得我们所渴望的生活方式。一旦我们有了一点钱，我们就迫不及待地想展示出来。
There is a huge difference between journalism and advertising. Journalism aspires to truth. Advertising is regulated for truth. I'll put the accuracy of the average ad in this country up against the average news story any time.
新闻和广告之间有很大的区别。新闻追求真理。广告是为了真理而被管制的。我将把这个国家平均广告的准确性与平均新闻报道的准确性进行比较。
I absolutely refuse the fame part of my business. I refuse even the money side of my business. I try to do as good work as I can do, I try to grow in my art and reach for truth. That's what I want from my art, that's what I aspire to.
我绝对拒绝我事业的名声部分。我甚至拒绝我的生意的金钱方面。我尽我所能做好工作，我努力在我的艺术中成长，追求真理。这就是我想从我的艺术中得到的，这就是我渴望的。
Why shouldn't rap be esoteric, able to take in current events, history and criticism? I guess it's this old idea of containment - that rappers, because they're black, can't and shouldn't aspire to look outside the ghetto for influence.
说唱为什么不应该是深奥的，能够接受时事、历史和批评?我想这是一种古老的遏制思想——说唱歌手，因为他们是黑人，不能也不应该渴望从贫民区之外寻求影响。
I try to combine my work with my family, that's what I aspire to. I don't say that's the only thing. It's not all work and family, because otherwise you would be saying no to the many other things in life and there are many other things.
我努力把工作和家庭结合起来，这是我所向往的。我不是说这是唯一的。不只是工作和家庭，因为否则你就会对生活中的许多其他事情说不，还有许多其他事情。
Learn from me, if not by my precepts, then by my example, how dangerous is the pursuit of knowledge and how much happier is that man who believes his native town to be the world than he who aspires to be greater than his nature will allow.
向我学习，如果不是通过我的训诫，而是通过我的榜样，那么追求知识是多么危险，一个相信自己的家乡是世界的人，比一个渴望超越自己本性所允许的人，是多么幸福。
Evolutionary biologists are not content merely to explain how variation occurs within limits, however. They aspire to answer a much broader question-which is how complex organisms like birds, and flowers, and human beings came into existence in the first place.
然而，进化生物学家并不满足于解释变异是如何在一定范围内发生的。他们渴望回答一个更广泛的问题，那就是像鸟、花和人类这样复杂的生物体是如何产生的。
I don't want to flee, nor do I want to abandon the battle of these farmers who live without any protection in the forest. They have the sacrosanct right to aspire to a better life on land where they can live and work with dignity while respecting the environment.
我不想逃跑，也不想放弃那些在森林里没有任何保护的农民们的战斗。他们有神圣不可侵犯的权利，渴望在土地上过上更美好的生活，在那里他们可以有尊严地生活和工作，同时尊重环境。
It is hard to go beyond your public. If they are satisfied with cheap performance, you will not easily arrive at better. If they know what is good, and require it. you will aspire and burn until you achieve it. But from time to time, in history, men are born a whole age too soon.
你很难超越你的公众。如果他们对廉价的性能感到满意，你就不会轻易达到更好的效果。如果他们知道什么是好的，并且需要它。你会渴望并燃烧，直到你实现它。但在历史上，男人总是过早地出生整整一个时代。
There is no passion in the mind of man so weak, but it mates and masters the fear of death. And therefore death is no such terrible enemy, when a man hath so many attendants about him that can win the combat of him. Revenge triumphs over death; love slights it ; honour aspireth to it ; grief flieth to it.
人的头脑中没有一种激情是如此的脆弱，但它却能与死亡的恐惧交配并驾驭它。因此，当一个人身边有那么多可以战胜他的随从时，死亡就不是那么可怕的敌人了。复仇战胜死亡;爱轻视它;尊荣追求它;悲伤会随之而来。
KEEP EXPLORING

Most of us who aspire to be tops in our fields don't really consider the amount of work required to stay tops.
我们大多数渴望在自己的领域成为顶尖的人，并没有真正考虑保持顶尖所需要的工作量。
I don't aspire to direct like many actors. I would aspire most likely to do some writing, but I haven't had a chance to do that.
我不像许多演员那样渴望导演。我很想写点东西，但我还没有机会这么做。
