A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
小
Little
Little do such men know the toil, the pains, the daily, nightly racking of the brains, to range the thoughts, the matter to digest, to cull fit phrases, and reject the rest.
这些人几乎不知道什么是辛劳，什么是痛苦，什么是日日夜夜的绞尽脑汁，什么是思想的范围，什么是物质的消化，什么是合适的词语的筛选，什么是拒绝接受的。
I was a little concerned with how the crew was going to view me because I didn't know whether this program had been kinda forced down their throats. But they were wonderful.
我有点担心摄制组会怎么看我，因为我不知道这个节目是不是强迫他们接受的。但是他们很棒。
Michael worked one day. Everybody was a little freaked out and nervous because he's a really big star. We were already working with really big stars, but Michael is Michael.
迈克尔工作了一天。每个人都有点害怕和紧张，因为他是一个真正的大明星。我们已经和大明星合作过了，但迈克尔就是迈克尔。
But this is a little different. This is the adult acting. This is a different crowd. It's more work and more good work. That's it. People will have their opinion regardless.
但这有点不同。这是成人的表演。这是一个不同的群体。这是越来越多的工作，越来越好的工作。就是这样。无论如何，人们都会有自己的观点。
I would also certainly continue to keep loan repayment interest rates as low as possible. And I would spread the financial aid a little less thinly across all income brackets.
当然，我也会继续将还贷利率保持在尽可能低的水平。我还会把财政援助分散到所有收入阶层，不会那么分散。
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.
这种创造性的行为只持续了很短的一段时间，就像闪电一样的给予和接受，这段时间刚好够你把相机调平，把稍纵即逝的猎物困在你的小盒子里。
I have just gone over my comet computations again, and it is humiliating to perceive how very little more I know than I did seven years ago when I first did this kind of work.
我刚刚又复习了一遍我的彗星计算，当我意识到我所知道的东西比七年前我第一次做这类工作时少得可怜时，我感到很丢脸。
I always get a little uppity when I hear the phrase 'TV actor.' It's like saying you're a magazine reporter. I was in the theater for ten years before I ever had a TV audition.
当我听到“电视演员”这个词时，我总是有点自大。这就像说你是一名杂志记者。在我参加电视试镜之前，我在剧院工作了十年。
But there's a little guy who sits astride my brain with a whip, and if I'm away from the machine for more than a couple of hours during the day, this little guy's lashing away.
但是有个小家伙骑在我的脑袋上用鞭子抽着，如果我一天中离开机器超过几个小时，这个小家伙就会抽打我。
On The Others, very atmospheric and probably mysterious is how I would say it felt to be on the set. It felt just a little uneasy, the atmosphere that we were trying to capture.
至于其他一些，我觉得在片场的感觉很有氛围，可能也很神秘。我们想要捕捉的那种气氛让人感觉有点不自在。
The Band was always famous for its retirements; we'd go and play and get a little petty cash together, and then not see each other till it was time to fill our pockets up again.
这支乐队一向以退休而闻名;我们一起去玩吧，弄点儿零用现金，然后等到口袋里又装满东西的时候再见面。
I don't know about you, but every time some joker points me out as I walk through an airport wearing extra-small Dolfin shorts, a tank top and leg warmers, I get a little upset.
我不知道你是怎么想的，但每次当我穿着超短裙、背心和暖腿裤走过机场时，总会有一些爱开玩笑的人指着我，让我感到有些不安。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, and the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
他那滑稽的小嘴像弓一样翘着，下巴上的胡子像雪一样白。
Even when I was little, I was big.
即使当我很小的时候，我也很大。
You can always amend a big plan, but you can never expand a little one. I don't believe in little plans. I believe in plans big enough to meet a situation which we can't possibly foresee now.

我们都来自我们自己的小星球。这就是为什么我们都是不同的。这就是生活有趣的地方。
The goal is to have to do the shot again because the camera guy shook a little bit as he was laughing. Without that happening, I'm not happy because there's nothing better for me than a world that everybody's just trying to make each other laugh.
我们的目标是再拍一次，因为摄像师笑的时候有点发抖。如果没有这样的事情发生，我就不会快乐，因为对我来说，没有什么比一个每个人都想逗对方笑的世界更好的了。
