A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
小
Little
It makes little difference how many university courses or degrees a person may own. If he cannot use words to move an idea from one point to another, his education is incomplete.
一个人拥有多少大学课程或学位并不重要。如果他不能用语言把一个想法从一个点转移到另一个点，他的教育就是不完整的。
And these little things may not seem like much but after a while they take you off on a direction where you may be a long way off from what other people have been thinking about.
这些小事情可能看起来并不多，但一段时间后，它们会把你带到一个新的方向，让你远离其他人一直在想的事情。
The fact people think that when you sell a lot of books you are not a serious writer is a great insult to the readership. I get a little angry when people try to say such a thing.
事实上，人们认为当你卖了很多书，你不是一个严肃的作家，这是对读者的极大侮辱。当人们试图说这样的话时，我有点生气。
It's a nice visual. I had just done Blade and I put on more weight for Blade and I thought I might as well use it so I kept it and added a little more. I wanted him to be a big bear.
很好的视觉效果。我刚刚做了刀锋，我增加了刀锋的重量，我想我最好还是用它，所以我保留了它，并增加了一点。我想让他成为一只大熊。
Even when someone gets to looking like she should be so proud of herself, instead she's like, 'I could be another three pounds less; I could be a little taller and have bigger lips.'
即使有人看上去应该为自己感到骄傲，她也会说，‘我可以再瘦三磅;我可以再高一点，拥有更大的嘴唇。”
There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. That little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
人与人之间没有什么差别，但这小小的差别却能造成很大的差别。这小小的差别就是态度。最大的区别在于它是积极的还是消极的。
It's an album that is a little bit different and probably isn't easy to get out. It's not likely that a major label would have picked it up and said that they had a smash hit record.
这是一张有点不同的专辑，可能不容易推出。一个大唱片公司不太可能拿起它，说他们有一张非常成功的唱片。
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.
任何一条道路，只要沿着它的尽头走下去，就会毫无结果。爬上一小段山来测试它是不是一座山。从山顶上，你看不见那座山。
I looked, and saw that Bob had entirely lost his left ear, and a large piece from his left cheek. His right eye was a little discoloured, and the blood flowed profusely from his wounds.
我看了看，发现鲍勃的左耳完全掉了，左脸颊也掉了一大块。他的右眼有点变色，血从他的伤口流出来。
Everything a writer learns about the art or craft of fiction takes just a little away from his need or desire to write at all. In the end he knows all the tricks and has nothing to say.
一个作家对小说艺术或工艺的了解，只会使他对写作的需要或欲望减少一点点。最后他知道了所有的诀窍，却无话可说。
We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.
我们都有一点奇怪，生活也有一点奇怪，当我们发现有人的奇怪和我们的一致时，我们就加入他们，彼此都觉得奇怪，并称之为爱。
If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do. He's not a little peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's really needed.
如果我们要改变我们的世界观，图像必须改变。这位艺术家现在有一项非常重要的工作要做。他不是一个娱乐富人的边缘人物，他真的很需要。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Time, which runs through the world like an endless tinsel thread, seemed to pass through the centre of this room and through the centre of these people and suddenly to pause and petrify, stiff, still and glittering... and the objects in the room drew a little closer together.
时间像一根没有尽头的金丝，穿过这个世界，似乎穿过了这间屋子的中心，也穿过了这些人的中心，突然停了下来，僵硬了，静止了，闪闪发光……房间里的东西靠得更近了。
He had a broad face and a little round belly, that shook, when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.
他有一张宽宽的脸和一个小小的圆圆的肚子，当他笑的时候，肚子就像一碗果冻一样颤抖。
Month after month, Wizard Academy equips people who want to make a difference. This is why journalists and scientists and artists and educators and business owners and advertising professionals and ministers are attracted to our little school.
一个月又一个月，巫师学院为那些想有所作为的人提供装备。这就是为什么记者、科学家、艺术家、教育家、企业主、广告专业人士和部长们都被我们的小学校所吸引。
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
任何一个为了获得一点安全而放弃一点自由的社会，都不配拥有这两样东西，也不会两样都失去。
The old sergeant from headquarters treats me like a son and takes the greatest pride in whatever I do or write. He regularly assigns me now to certain doors, and I always obey orders like the little gentleman that I am.
总部的老军士把我当儿子看待，对我所做的和所写的一切都感到无比自豪。他现在经常派我到某些地方去，我总是像我这样的小绅士一样服从命令。
The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.
我们思考和行动的范围受到我们没有注意到的东西的限制。因为我们没有注意到我们没有注意到，所以我们对改变几乎无能为力;直到我们注意到没有注意是如何塑造我们的思想和行为的。
