A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
小
Little
The little may contrast with the great, in painting, but cannot be said to be contrary to it. Oppositions of colors contrast; but there are also colors contrary to each other, that is, which produce an ill effect because they shock the eye when brought very near it.
在绘画中，小与大可以对比，但不能说相反。颜色对比的对位;但是也有相反的颜色，也就是说，它们会产生不好的效果，因为当它们非常靠近眼睛时，会使眼睛受到震动。
Bad company is like a nail driven into a post, which, after the first and second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty; but being once driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold to draw it out, but which can only be done by the destruction of the wood
坏伙伴就像钉在柱子上的钉子，第一次和第二次打击后，可以毫不费力地拔出来;但是，一旦被赶到头部，钳子就抓不住它，无法把它拔出来，而这只能通过破坏木头来实现
I like the light that comes off metal shutters at siesta time in the summer, having a break from driving in the shops at motorway services, the odour of petrol at petrol stations, rolling down little slopes. I hate it when you tread in a puddle and the water soaks your socks.
我喜欢夏天午睡时金属百叶窗发出的光，喜欢从高速公路服务处的商店里开车出来休息一下，喜欢加油站的汽油味，喜欢从小斜坡上滚下来的味道。我讨厌你踩在水坑里，水会浸湿你的袜子。
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。
In my gym class, we had something called The Pit, this little alcove where we had to sit if we forgot our gym clothes. It was usually just the crippled kid, the pregnant girl, and me. It was pretty awkward, just hanging with all these freaks who didn't want to show their legs.
在我的体育课上，我们有一个叫做“坑”的地方，这是一个小凹室，如果我们忘了带运动服，我们就得坐在那里。通常只有跛脚的孩子，怀孕的女孩和我。和这些不愿露出腿来的怪胎们在一起，真的很尴尬。
In the past few years, we've been doing amazing stuff with desserts. Pastry chefs have been using herbs and spices in their desserts. So vanilla cake doesn't have to be just vanilla, it can have a little thyme. Or you could have a custard with a little lavender in it, which is just amazing.
在过去的几年里，我们一直在做一些很棒的甜点。糕点师一直在甜点中使用香草和香料。香草蛋糕不只是香草，也可以加一点百里香。或者你也可以在蛋奶沙司里加点薰衣草，这真是太棒了。
I've never really been star struck. I was a little bit taken aback when I was doing a chat show recently and I was sat in the make-up chair chatting to a guy say next to me but I couldn't look round and see who it was, it was only when I got up I realised it had been Bryan Adams I'd been talking to!
我从来没有真正被明星吸引过。我有点吃惊,当我最近在做一个访谈节目,我是坐在化妆椅旁边一个人说我聊天但我不能仔细察看,看看是谁,只有当我起床我意识到它已经被布莱恩•亚当斯我说话!
I definitely had those moments, like any actor, when you get anxious and think, 'When am I going to work again?' But I would feel that way even when I had every offer in the world coming to me. Then I became a father and I felt a little more of the anxiety that came with the responsibility of being a parent.
我确实有过这样的时刻，就像任何演员一样，当你感到焦虑时，你会想，‘我什么时候再去工作?“但即使世界上所有的工作机会都来找我，我还是会有这种感觉。后来我当了父亲，我感到作为父母的责任带来了更多的焦虑。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
We think too much, and feel too little.
我们想得太多，感觉太少。
Always be a little kinder than necessary.
永远要比需要的仁慈一点。
I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, i am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best..
我自私，没有耐心，还有点不安全。我犯错误，我失控，有时很难处理。但如果你不能接受我最差的一面，那你也不配拥有我最好的一面
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。
All the world old is queer save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer.
除了你和我，整个世界都是古怪的，连你也有点古怪。
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。
