A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
生活
Living
You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: 'Holy Christ, whaddya know - I'm still around!' It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career.
你不可能像我这么大，每天早上醒来时脸上都带着惊讶的表情:‘天哪，你知道吗——我还活着!“我从酗酒、抽烟、开车和职业生涯中幸存下来，这绝对令人惊讶。
My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.
当然，我的版本并不是在挥舞国旗，让我们都坐上耶稣的列车，离开地狱吧。我不是那种人。这是一个拥抱，生活是美好的，值得活下去的，是的，这并不容易，但有更多的好处而不是坏处。
I was away from the front lines for a while this spring, living with other troops, and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them.
今年春天，我离开前线有一段时间，和其他部队住在一起，在我离开的时候发生了很多战斗。当我准备回到前线的老朋友们身边时，我不知道自己是否能感觉到他们身上有什么变化。
The action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes.
这种行为带有一种不完整感和挫败感，但没有负罪感。胜利的生活并不意味着完美的生活在生活的意义上没有缺点，但它意味着足够的生活，这可以与许多错误相一致。
The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.
生命的意义不是只有在死后才会被发现，而是隐藏在某个神秘的领域里;相反，我们可以通过吃生命之树的多汁果实，以及尽可能充分和创造性地活在当下来发现生命。
I think England has served me very well. I like living in London for the reasons I gave. I have absolutely no intentions of cutting those ties. There is absolutely no reason to do so. Certainly not, so that I can have a swimming pool and a palm tree.
我认为英格兰对我很好。我喜欢住在伦敦是因为我给出的理由。我绝对没有切断这些联系的意图。完全没有理由这样做。当然不是，这样我就可以有一个游泳池和一棵棕榈树。
Many have imagined republics and principalities which have never been seen or known to exist in reality; for how we live is so far removed from how we ought to live, that he who abandons what is done for what ought to be done, will rather bring about.
许多人设想了从未在现实中出现过或知道存在过的共和国和君主国;因为我们所行的与所当行的相距甚远，那弃绝已经行的，只取应该行的，反倒要成就。
It was necessary to bluff the Japanese camp commanders, with whatever authority I could muster, that I had come officially to ensure that the surrender terms were being complied with and that living conditions for the POWs were being immediately improved.
有必要用我所能调动的一切权威来吓唬日军的营长，说我是正式来的，是为了确保投降条件得到遵守，战俘的生活条件立即得到改善。
I don't know if you ever say to yourself that you want to be an actress. It eventually becomes a social function - you are an actress and you make a living out of it, but at the beginning it's more a matter of how to survive, or how to exist in a certain way.
我不知道你是否曾经对自己说过你想成为一名演员。它最终成为一种社会功能——你是一名演员，并以此为生，但一开始更多的是如何生存，或如何以某种方式生存。
Fishing provides that connection with the whole living world. It gives you the opportunity of being totally immersed, turning back into yourself in a good way. A form of meditation, some form of communion with levels of yourself that are deeper than the ordinary self.
钓鱼提供了与整个生活世界的联系。它给你一个完全沉浸其中的机会，让你以一种好的方式回归自我。一种冥想的形式，一种与比普通自我更深层次的自我交流的形式。
I realised the bohemian life was not for me. I would look around at my friends, living like starving artists, and wonder, 'Where's the art?' They weren't doing anything. And there was so much interesting stuff to do, so much fun to be had... maybe I could even quit renting.
我意识到波希米亚生活不适合我。我会环顾四周，看着我的朋友们，像饥饿的艺术家一样生活，然后想，‘艺术在哪里?“他们什么也没做。有那么多有趣的事情要做，有那么多有趣的事情要做……也许我甚至可以不再租房。
The rich are different. Their wants are very high maintenance. They'll pick eye color and hair color, all the way down to what she does for a living, what school she went to. Their list can be extremely long. But at the end of the day, dating is dating, because they're human beings.
富人则不同。他们的需要很难维持。他们会挑选眼睛的颜色和头发的颜色，一直到她以什么为生，她上过什么学校。他们的清单可能非常长。但说到底，约会就是约会，因为他们都是人。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.
生活有两种方式:你可以把生活当作没有奇迹;你可以把每件事都当作奇迹来生活。
Nothing is less important than which fork you use. Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor.
没有什么比使用哪个叉子更重要的了。礼仪是生活的科学。它包含了一切。这是道德。它是荣誉。
There is no passion to be found in setting for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
没有激情可以在设定一个低于你能力的生活中找到。
The more living patterns there are in a place - a room, a building, or a town - the more it comes to life as an entirety, the more it glows, the more it has that self-maintaining fire which is the quality without a name.
一个地方——一个房间、一座建筑或一座城镇——的生活模式越多，它作为一个整体就越有生命力，它发出的光芒越多，它就越有自我维持的火焰，这是一种没有名字的品质。
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
你的生活不是由生活带给你什么决定的，而是由你对生活的态度决定的;与其说是发生在你身上的事情，不如说是你的大脑看待事情的方式。
Not being in tune with your customers is like living in an alternate reality; the way you think your customers feel about your product is not always the same as what your customers really think about your product.
不与客户保持一致就像生活在另一种现实中;你认为你的客户对你产品的看法并不总是和他们对你产品的真实看法一样。
