A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
一生
Lifetime
I had become interested in economics, an interest that was transformed into a lifetime dedication when I met with the mathematical theory of general economic equilibrium.
我对经济学产生了兴趣，当我接触到一般经济均衡的数学理论时，这种兴趣变成了毕生的奉献。
I saw as a teacher how, if you take that spark of learning that those children have, and you ignite it, you can take a child from any background to a lifetime of creativity and accomplishment.
作为一名教师，我看到，如果你把这些孩子身上的学习火花点燃，你就能让一个孩子从任何背景成长为具有创造力和成就的人。
You don't want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions. The questions are diamonds you hold in the light. Study a lifetime and you see different colors from the same jewel.
你不想要无数个答案，而是想要一些永远的问题。问题是你在阳光下的钻石。研究一生，你会发现同一颗宝石有不同的颜色。
Things happen to everybody in the course of a lifetime. Relationships end, people die, tragedy befalls everyone. So everyone has this wealth of experience, and the older you are the more you have to draw on.
每个人在一生中都会遇到一些事情。关系结束，人们死去，悲剧降临到每个人身上。所以每个人都有丰富的经验，你年龄越大，你就越需要利用这些经验。
Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists.
写小说使我对人的一生中未知的东西产生了一种持久的敬意，让我有了一种去哪里寻找线索、如何追随、如何联系的感觉，在错综复杂的世界中找到一条清晰的线。
Part of the elasticity that you need, in order to continue to try to create, is the foregone conclusion that not all of it is going to be fabulously successful. But it's all going to be part of a long lifetime body of experimentation.
为了继续创造，你所需要的弹性的一部分，是预先的结论，并不是所有的都能取得惊人的成功。但这些都将是长期实验的一部分。
The mystic purchases a moment of exhilaration with a lifetime of confusion; and the confusion is infectious and destructive. It is confusing and destructive to try and explain anything in terms of anything else, poetry in terms of psychology.
神秘主义者用一生的困惑换来片刻的兴奋;这种困惑具有传染性和破坏性。试图用其他东西来解释任何事物，用心理学来解释诗歌，是令人困惑和具有破坏性的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
迷上某人只需一分钟，喜欢上某人需要一小时，爱上某人则要一天，然而，忘记某人却是一辈子的事情。
