A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
少
Less
There are about a dozen of these gardens, more or less extensive, according to the business or wealth of the proprietor; but they are generally smaller than the smallest of our London nurseries.
这样的花园大约有十几个，根据业主的生意或财产情况，或多或少有些广阔;但它们一般比我们伦敦最小的托儿所还要小。
The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That's one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living.
学会读书的人越多，学会谋生的人就越少。这是一点教育。它会因为你的实际工作而影响你。你知道的越多，你就越觉得别人欠你的钱越多。
Incidentally, the usual designation of the magnitude scale to my name does less than justice to the great part that Dr. Gutenberg played in extending the scale to apply to earthquakes in all parts of the world.
顺便说一句，通常把震级标在我的名字上，并不能很好地说明古登堡博士在把震级扩大到适用于世界各地地震方面所起的巨大作用。
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
正如我赞同一个年轻人身上有一点老人的气质一样，我对一个老人身上有一点年轻人的气质也同样感到高兴。遵守这条规则的人，身体可能会变老，但思想永远不会变老。
Never the less, it is no light thing to enter into a profession absolutely foreign and alien to the people among which one's lot is cast; a profession which seems as dim and faraway and unreal as the shores of Europe.
然而，从事一种与自己命运攸关的人民完全陌生的职业并不是一件轻松的事;这个职业就像欧洲海岸一样模糊、遥远、虚幻。
There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life, which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person, that would be pretty boring.
作为一个角色演员，压力更小。这通常意味着你的一生都在行动，这是我的意图。我不想成为一个有钱有名的人，那样会很无聊。
Maybe it's just, I've always been to the less traveled places, in any topic, whether it's history, I always like to just choose the most obscure topic. And I don't know why I have that impulse. I can't really explain it but I've been doing that since I was a little kid.
也许只是，我总是去人迹罕至的地方，在任何话题上，无论是历史，我总是喜欢选择最模糊的话题。我不知道我为什么会有这种冲动。我真的无法解释，但我从很小的时候就开始这么做了。
It seems to me that everyone on this planet whom I know or have worked with is suffering from self-hatred and guilt to one degree or another. The more self-hatred and guilt we have, the less our lives work. The less self-hatred and guilt we have, the better our lives work, on all levels.
在我看来，这个星球上我认识或共事过的每一个人都或多或少地遭受着自我憎恨和负罪感的折磨。我们的自我憎恨和罪恶感越多，我们的生活就越没有意义。我们的自我憎恨和罪恶感越少，我们的生活在各个层面上就会越好。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Compliments feel better when they're genuine and unexpected. The more girls you call beautiful, the less impact it has.
当赞美是真诚的、出乎意料的时候，会让人感觉更好。你认为漂亮的女孩越多，对你的影响就越小。
There is less in this than meets the eye.
这并不像看上去那么简单。
To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.
指挥就是服务，不多也不少。
There are two kinds of companies, those that work to try to charge more and those that work to charge less. We will be the second.
有两种公司，一种努力提高收费，另一种努力降低收费。我们将是第二个。
Interactive computers and software will, I think, provide a less costly method of doing some kinds of inquiry, in knowledge acquisition and even reasoning and interaction.
我认为，交互式计算机和软件将提供一种成本更低的方法来进行某些类型的查询，包括知识获取，甚至推理和交互。
