A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
小
Little
If you want someone to feel warm, you dress them in a warm color and put a warm light on them and you get the picture. Sometimes, all that needs pushing a little bit to help tell the story.
如果你想让某人感到温暖,你可以给他们穿一件暖色的衣服,在他们身上放一盏暖色的灯,这样你就能了解他们了。有时候,所有这些都需要一点推动来讲述故事。
Getting older, I realize I've had a very fortunate life. I've had a budget that's allowed me to do just about any silly little thing the mind could conjure up, and I'm still alive and here.
随着年龄的增长,我意识到我有一个非常幸运的生活。我有一个预算,可以让我做任何脑子里想出来的傻事,而我还活着,还在这里。
This has resulted in more and more people becoming inner-directed and having as their only goal, getting as much as they can get out of the system and putting as little into it as possible.
这导致越来越多的人变得内向型,并把这作为他们唯一的目标,尽可能多地从体制中得到东西,尽可能少地投入其中。
There is nothing, Sir, too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible.
先生,对于人类这种渺小的生物来说,没有什么是微不足道的。正是通过研究小事情,我们获得了尽可能少的痛苦和尽可能多的幸福的伟大艺术。
Wherever you write is supposed to be a little bit of a refuge, a place where you can get away from the world. The more closed in you are, the more you're forced back on your own imagination.
无论你在哪里写作,都应该是一个小小的避难所,一个你可以远离这个世界的地方。你越封闭,你就越被迫回到自己的想象中。
To me, emails are a little bit frustrating. I think that the telephone is much preferred because you get the sound of the voice and the interest and everything else you can't see in an email.
对我来说,电子邮件有点令人沮丧。我认为电话更受欢迎,因为你可以听到对方的声音,得到对方的兴趣,以及所有你在电子邮件中看不到的东西。
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.
你总是可以修改一个大计划,但你永远不能扩大一个小计划。我不相信小计划。我相信有足够大的计划来应对我们现在无法预见的情况。
But, the thing is, since I always had my own little shop and direct access to the public, I've been able to build up a technique without marketing people ever telling me what the public wants.
但是,问题是,因为我一直有自己的小商店和直接接触公众的渠道,我能够建立一种技术,而不需要营销人员告诉我公众想要什么。
Boy's natural play is rough and tumble play, it's the universal play of little boys. And it's very different from aggression. And we are a society that's failing to understand the distinction.
男孩的天性是打闹游戏,这是小男孩的普遍游戏。这和攻击性非常不同。而我们这个社会却无法理解其中的区别。
One thing I've been doing since I was a little kid and that's score touchdowns so if somebody needs somebody to get in the red zone and do some work, I could probably still do that pretty well.
我从小就一直在做的一件事就是得分触地得分,所以如果有人需要有人进入禁区做一些工作,我可能仍然可以做得很好。
There's something about doing theatre in London - it sinks a little bit deeper into your soul as an actor. It's something about the tradition of theatre, about performing on the West End stage.
在伦敦做戏剧是有意义的——作为一名演员,它会更深入你的灵魂。这是关于剧院的传统,关于在西区舞台上表演。
It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from.
这并不是说我不想出名,也不是说我痴迷于我的演员工作,而是说我不要限制自己,比如把自己关在一个可以逃脱的小监狱里。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
A great man is always willing to be little.
伟大的人物总是愿意当小人物的。
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.

我生来就不知道,也只有一点时间来改变这一点。
You are a saucy little thing aren't you?
你是个漂亮的小东西,不是吗?
