A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
生活
Lives
People want to hear about the extremes of human nature. They want things that are larger than their own lives, and more romantic, and not necessarily of their own experiences.
人们想听到人性的极端。他们想要的东西比他们自己的生活更大,更浪漫,不一定是他们自己的经历。
Our great symbol for the Goddess is the moon, whose three aspects reflect the three stages in women's lives and whose cycles of waxing and waning coincide with women's menstrual cycles.
我们对女神的伟大象征是月亮,它的三个方面反映了女性生活的三个阶段,其盛衰周期与女性月经周期一致。
The whole earth is the tomb of heroic men and their story is not given only on stone over their clay but abides everywhere without visible symbol woven into the stuff of other mens lives.
整个地球是英雄人物的坟墓,他们的故事不仅刻在石头上,而且无处不在,没有明显的符号编织在其他男人的生命中。
But if we have been willing to give our lives to this enterprise, which is for the honour of our country, I appeal to our countrymen to see that those who depend on us are properly cared for.
但是,如果我们愿意为这项事业献出我们的生命,这是为了我们国家的荣誉,我呼吁我国同胞看到依赖我们的人得到适当的照顾。
To write the lives of the great in separating them from their works necessarily ends by above all stressing their pettiness, because it is in their work that they have put the best of themselves.
把伟人的生活与他们的作品分开来写,必然以强调他们的渺小而告终,因为正是在他们的作品中,他们展现了最好的自己。
A politics that is not sensitive to the concerns and circumstances of people's lives, a politics that does not speak to and include people, is an intellectually arrogant politics that deserves to fail.
一个对人民生活的关切和环境不敏感的政治,一个不与人民对话、不把人民包括在内的政治,是一个理应失败的自以为是的政治。
The task which we have set ourselves is simply to show why and for what purpose we hold that standpoint during most of our lives, and why and for what purpose we are provisionally obliged to abandon it.
我们给自己规定的任务仅仅是表明我们为什么和为了什么而在生活的大部分时间里坚持这一立场,以及我们为什么和为了什么而暂时不得不放弃这一立场。
If the lives of men can be measured in terms of years, ideologies in decades, and nations in centuries, then the unit measuring civilizations, born of the interaction among peoples, would be the millennium.
如果人类的生命可以用年数、几十年的意识形态和几百年的国家来衡量,那么衡量文明的单位,即各民族之间相互作用所产生的文明,将是一个千年。
However far fiction writers stray from their own lives and experiences - and I stray pretty far from mine - I think, ultimately, that we may be writing what we need to write in some way, albeit unconsciously.
无论小说家们如何偏离自己的生活和经历——我也偏离了自己的生活和经历——我认为,最终,我们可能在以某种方式写我们需要写的东西,尽管是无意识的。
A man in my situation, my lords, has not only to encounter the difficulties of fortune. and the force of power over minds which it has corrupted or subjugated. but the difficulties of established prejudice: the man dies, but his memory lives.
一个处在我这种境况的人,我的勋爵们,不仅要遭遇命运的困难。以及它所腐化或征服的思想的力量。而是根深蒂固的偏见所带来的困难:这个人死了,但他的记忆还活着。
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
当我们诚实地问自己生命中谁对我们最重要时,我们常常发现,是那些人,他们没有给出建议、解决方案或治愈方法,而是选择与我们分享痛苦,用温暖而温柔的手触摸我们的伤口。
The Royal Family are not like you and me. They live in houses so big that you can walk round all day and never need to meet your spouse. The Queen and Prince Philip have never shared a bedroom in their lives. They don't even have breakfast together.
皇室不像你我。他们住的房子太大了,你可以整天走来走去,根本不需要见你的配偶。女王和菲利普亲王一生中从未共用一间卧室。他们甚至不一起吃早餐。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

My purpose is to inspire people of all walks of life to discover the virtue inherent within them and to bring forth that virtue in their daily lives.
