A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
语言
Language
Sometimes your body language is enough for an actor to know that you're not happy. And you don't really need to say it out loud if you deal with actors you know very well. And I don't think you really need to be explicit.
有时候你的肢体语言足以让一个演员知道你不开心。如果你和你非常熟悉的演员打交道，你真的不需要大声说出来。我不认为你真的需要明确。
I liked Latin, I like languages, I liked all the myths, and the Roman tales that we were required to translate in Latin, and all these interesting people who were never quite what they thought they would be or seemed to be.
我喜欢拉丁语，我喜欢各种语言，我喜欢所有的神话，和罗马故事，我们被要求用拉丁语翻译，所有这些有趣的人从来都不是他们想象的那样或者看起来是那样的。
The attitude of independence toward a constructed language which all national speakers must adopt is really a great advantage, because it tends to make man see himself as the master of language instead of its obedient servant.
独立对待一种所有说本国话的人都必须采用的建构语言的态度确实是一个很大的优势，因为它往往使人把自己看作是语言的主人，而不是语言的顺从的仆人。
I think it would be cool if you were writing a ransom note on your computer, if the paper clip popped up and said, 'Looks like you're writing a ransom note. Need help? You should use more forceful language, you'll get more money.'
我想，如果你在电脑上写赎金便条，如果回形针弹出来说，‘看起来你在写赎金便条’，那就太酷了。需要帮助？你应该使用更有力的语言，你会得到更多的钱。”
Language is political. That's why you and me, my Brother and Sister, that's why we supposed to choke our natural self into the weird, lying, barbarous, unreal, white speech and writing habits that the schools lay down like holy law.
语言是政治。这就是为什么你和我，我的兄弟姐妹，这就是为什么我们应该把我们的自然自我扼杀在奇怪的，撒谎的，野蛮的，不真实的，白人的演讲和写作习惯中，就像学校制定的神圣的法律一样。
When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy.
当我们远离全球变暖，京都议定书，当我们不负责任地在向非洲艾滋病迈进的道路上行动迟缓，当我们不推进和实践我们自己的言论和标准时，我们发出了一个可怕的信息，那就是表里不一和伪善。
No important national language, at least in the Occidental world, has complete regularity of grammatical structure, nor is there a single logical category which is adequately and consistently handled in terms of linguistic symbolism.
至少在西方世界，没有一种重要的民族语言具有完整的语法结构规律性，也没有一种逻辑范畴在语言象征意义上得到充分而一致的处理。
A common creation demands a common sacrifice, and perhaps not the least potent argument in favour of a constructed international language is the fact that it is equally foreign, or apparently so, to the traditions of all nationalities.
一种共同的创造需要共同的牺牲，也许支持一种建构的国际语言的最有力的论据是，它对所有民族的传统都是同样陌生的，或者显然是如此。
Homer's whole language, the language in which he lived, the language that he breathed, because he never saw it, or certainly those who formed his tradition never saw it, in characters on the pages. It was all on the tongue and in the ear.
荷马的全部语言，他所生活的语言，他所呼吸的语言，因为他从来没有见过，或者那些形成他传统的人从来没有见过，写在书页上的文字。一切都在口头上，都在耳中。
It's really difficult for me. Language, I am sorry that I haven't. I think I just always expected that you learn a word in place of a word and when I discovered how difficult the grammar was and learning that was very discouraging for me.
这对我来说真的很难。语言，很抱歉我没有。我想我总是希望你用一个单词来代替一个单词，当我发现语法有多难，学习语法让我很沮丧。
Advertising practitioners are interpreters. But unlike foreign language interpreters, adpeople must constantly learn new languages. They must understand the language of each new product, and speak the language of each new target audience.
广告从业人员是口译员。但与外语口译员不同，广告人必须不断学习新的语言。他们必须理解每一个新产品的语言，并说每一个新目标受众的语言。
In English, I'm a little bit limited. I speak English as a second language, and that's a little limitation that I have to work around and I have to use it to my favor. So, yes, that's why I end up wanting to do more things in Latin America.
在英语方面，我有点受限。我把英语作为第二语言，这是一个小小的限制，我必须努力克服，我必须用它来对我有利。所以，是的，这就是为什么我最终想在拉丁美洲做更多的事情。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I met my grandfather just before he died, and it was the first time that I had seen Dad with a relative of his. It was interesting to see my own father as a son and the body language and alteration in attitude that comes with that, and it sort of changed our relationship for the better.
我在祖父去世前见到了他，那是我第一次看到父亲和他的一个亲戚在一起。很有趣的是，我把自己的父亲看作一个儿子，他的肢体语言和态度也随之改变，这让我们的关系变得更好。
One does not inhabit a country; one inhabits a language. That is our country, our fatherland - and no other.

It probably helps that my background is in the sciences and I can speak the scientists' language.
我的背景是科学，而且我能说科学家们的语言，这可能会有帮助。
Language is a living thing. We can feel it changing. Parts of it become old: they drop off and are forgotten. New pieces bud out, spread into leaves, and become big branches, proliferating.
语言是有生命的东西。我们能感觉到它的变化。它的一部分会变老:它们会脱落并被遗忘。新碎片发芽，蔓延到叶子，成为大树枝，增殖。
The limits of my language are the limits of my mind. All I know is what I have words for.
我语言的极限就是我思想的极限。我所知道的就是我的语言。
