A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

生活

Live

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

勇敢地去做伟大的事情,去赢得光荣的胜利,即使会受到失败的挫折……而不是与那些既不享受也不太受苦的可怜的人为伍,因为他们生活在一个既不知道胜利也不知道失败的灰暗的黎明里。

So many people prefer to live in drama because it's comfortable. It's like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship - it's actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.

很多人喜欢生活在戏剧中,因为它很舒服。这就像一个人呆在一段糟糕的婚姻或关系中——实际上更容易留下来,因为他们知道每天会发生什么,而不是离开,不知道会发生什么。

I've had over a dozen models come in and pose fro me live for these new Cirque pieces. Cirque is a world-wide phenomenon and they are just incredible athletes. I've been to all the performances and am really fascinated by all of their productions.

我请了十几个模特来为我的这些新马戏团作品做现场表演。马戏团是一个世界性的现象,他们都是不可思议的运动员。我看过所有的演出,对他们所有的作品都很着迷。

Injustice, poverty, slavery, ignorance - these may be cured by reform or revolution. But men do not live only by fighting evils. They live by positive goals, individual and collective, a vast variety of them, seldom predictable, at times incompatible.

不公正、贫穷、奴役、无知——这些都可以通过改革或革命来解决。但是人不仅仅是靠与罪恶作斗争来生活的。他们生活在积极的目标下,个人的和集体的,各种各样的目标,很少是可以预测的,有时是不相容的。

Planting native species in our gardens and communities is increasingly important, because indigenous insects, birds and wildlife rely on them. Over thousands, and sometimes millions, of years they have co-evolved to live in local climate and soil conditions.

在我们的花园和社区种植本土物种越来越重要,因为本土昆虫、鸟类和野生动物都依赖它们。在数千年,有时甚至是数百万年的时间里,它们共同进化,适应了当地的气候和土壤条件。

Don't you see what's at stake here? The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet.

你没看到这里有什么危险吗?所有科学的最终目的是洞察未知。你意识到我们对地球的了解比我们对恒星和外太空星系的了解还要少吗?最大的谜团就在这里,就在我们脚下。

You know how fighting fish do it? They blow bubbles and in each one of those bubbles is an egg and they float the egg up to the surface. They keep this whole heavy nest of eggs floating, and they're constantly repairing it. It's as if they live in both elements.

你知道斗鱼是怎么做到的吗?它们吹泡泡,每个泡泡里都有一个鸡蛋,它们把鸡蛋浮到水面。它们让这个沉重的蛋巢漂浮着,并不断地修复它。就好像它们同时存在于这两种元素中。

I tried the paleo diet, which is the caveman diet - lots of meat. And I tried the calorie restriction diet: The idea is that if you eat very, very little - if you're on the verge of starvation, you will live a very long time, whether or not you want to, of course.

我尝试了旧石器时代的饮食,也就是穴居人的饮食——很多肉。我尝试了卡路里限制饮食:这个想法是,如果你吃得非常非常少——如果你处于饥饿的边缘,你会活得很长时间,当然,不管你想不想。
