A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Kind

The whole notion of journalism being an institution whose fundamental purpose is to educate and inform and even, one might say, elevate, has altered under commercial pressure, perhaps, into a different kind of purpose, which is to divert and distract and entertain.

新闻机构的根本目的是教育和提供信息,甚至有人可能会说,是提高新闻水平。但在商业压力下,新闻机构的整个理念或许已经转变为另一种目的,那就是转移人们的注意力和娱乐。

What I found was when I started my first study, and then in subsequent studies, is here you have people under some kind of duress, or I chose to study them because they represented some kind of historical event, as it impacted on them or as they helped to create it.

我发现当我开始我的第一个研究中,然后在后续的研究中,这里有人们在某种胁迫下,或者我选择研究他们,因为他们代表了某种历史事件,影响他们或他们帮助创建它。

I'm not really one of those people who goes and writes some big back story and agonizes over characters. I think you kind of can get it. For me personally, it's just kind of more instinctive. But I don't have kind of an acting background. I fell into it accidentally.

我并不是那种会去写一些大背景故事,为角色而苦恼的人。我觉得你能理解。对我个人来说,这只是一种本能。但我没有演戏的背景。我不小心掉进去了。

If it's just screaming - and I know this sounds so ridiculous - that gets old. But sometimes when there's literal chaos, it's like being in a war zone, and that's kind of exciting. You're just running through the crowd of people chasing after you and no one knows what's going on.

如果只是尖叫——我知道这听起来很荒谬——那就老了。但有时,当真的发生混乱时,就像身处战区一样,这是令人兴奋的。你只是在人群中奔跑,没有人知道发生了什么。

But it is nice to know that you have other races lined up, because sometimes you can get so focused on your next marathon that it can become kind of unhealthy in some ways. So it's nice to have something else to slap you in the face and say, all right, there is life after the Olympics.

但很高兴知道你还有其他比赛要参加,因为有时候你会过于专注于下一场马拉松,以至于在某些方面会变得不健康。所以,有别的事情给你一记耳光,然后说,好吧,奥运会之后还有生活。

I think I had kind of an advantage. When I was growing up, my dad had just got out of jail and he had a great record collection. He had - it was all - these were the songs. So I heard a lot of these songs, like, my whole life, so for me it was easy. I already knew what I was going to sing.

我想我有一个优势。在我成长的过程中,我父亲刚刚出狱,他收藏了很多唱片。他有——就是所有的——这些就是歌曲。所以我听了很多这样的歌,就像,我的一生,所以对我来说很容易。我已经知道我要唱什么了。

It's fairness to say those who work hard, get up in the morning, cut their cloth - in other words 'we can only afford to have one or two children because we don't earn enough'. They pay their taxes and they want to know that the same kind of decision-making is taking place for those on benefits.

公平地说,那些努力工作,早上起床,削减他们的衣服-换句话说,“我们只能负担得起一个或两个孩子,因为我们没有足够的收入”。他们交税,他们想知道同样的决策也发生在那些领救济金的人身上。

Vampires have always held a very seductive kind of lore and have always been some variety of attractive, whether it's attractiveness that's born of just the physical attributes that they have - this kind of ethereal beauty or translucent pallor - or whether it is more to do with the way they carry themselves.

吸血鬼总是持有一种诱人的传说,一直是一些各种各样的吸引力,不管是吸引力的出生的物理属性,他们——这种空灵的美或半透明苍白——还是与他们携带自己的方式。

I don't know if this is the kind of retrospective analysis that people are fond of applying to their work or actions, but it feels like I knew I was going to be famous and I knew that an element of that would be traumatic, so that if I could make myself something big and otherworldly, it would be a kind of defence.

我不知道这是一种回顾性分析,人们喜欢申请他们的工作或行动,但感觉就像我知道我将是著名的和我知道的创伤,因此,如果我能让自己大,超凡脱俗,那将是一种防御。
