A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Long
The cool wind blew in my face and all at once I felt as if I had shed dullness from myself. Before me lay a long gray line with a black mark down the center. The birds were singing. It was spring.
凉风吹在我脸上，我突然觉得自己好像摆脱了呆滞。在我面前有一条长长的灰色的线，中间有一个黑色的标记。鸟儿在唱歌。这是春天。
But it's funny that now I'm in such a happy situation, I look more objectively at my own past and see what others have seen for a long time and I'm just so glad I've been able to get to this point.
但有趣的是，现在我处于如此幸福的境地，我更客观地看待自己的过去，看到别人很长时间以来所看到的，我很高兴我能走到这一步。
Living is like working out a long addition sum, and if you make a mistake in the first two totals you will never find the right answer. It means involving oneself in a complicated chain of circumstances.
生活就像做一个很长的加法，如果你在前两个加法上犯了错误，你将永远找不到正确的答案。它意味着把自己卷入一系列复杂的环境中。
You can not do what you want to do unless you know the correct technique. The only other way you can learn how to do it is by doing it yourself, which would take twice as long than if you went to school.
你不能做你想做的事，除非你知道正确的技术。你能学习如何做这件事的唯一另一种方法是自己做，这将花费两倍于你上学的时间。
I'm old enough, by a long shot, to remember going to the library and spending days researching. If I was looking for a line from a poem or something else I needed, that would be the trip I would have to take.
从长远来看，我已经足够大了，可以记得去图书馆花了几天时间做研究。如果我要从一首诗或其他我需要的东西中寻找一句话，那就是我必须经历的旅程。
As soon as I finished the first book, I wrote a second, which I hope to sell this year, and I have just about finished the third book in the series. Two more are already outlined. I'm in this for the long haul.
我刚写完第一本书，就写了第二本书，希望今年能卖出去，而我也差不多完成了这个系列的第三本书。另外两项计划已经拟定。我要在这干很长时间。
Usually I like to improvise. Sometimes, depending on the nature of the piece, I like to improvise because I think it brings certain freshness and a reality to it, as long as it doesn't go too far out of the box.
通常我喜欢即兴发挥。有时，根据作品的性质，我喜欢即兴创作，因为我认为它能带来一定的新鲜感和现实感，只要不太出格。
Working in a salon, you look at trends all day long. You're looking at color all the time, what new products are coming out. You're a part of the fashion industry, especially if you're working in a higher-end salon.
在沙龙工作，你整天都在关注潮流。你一直在关注颜色，看看有什么新产品问世。你是时尚行业的一份子，尤其是如果你在一家高端沙龙工作。
For a long time I thought I could deal with my anger and hostility on my own. But I couldn't. I denied that it had affected me, and yet I was so frantic on the inside with other people: I needed to be constantly reassured.
很长一段时间，我认为我可以独自处理我的愤怒和敌意。但我不能。我否认它影响了我，但我的内心却对其他人如此疯狂:我需要不断地得到安慰。
I do not have a brain that I long for in dealing with matters of which I am ignorant, that don't come within my ken and a rationale, a reason, and argument and so on, and I can't do that and I'm not in that bracket at all.
我没有一个我渴望的大脑来处理我所不知道的事情，那些不在我的知识范围内的事情，一个理论，一个理由，一个论点等等，我不能那样做，我根本不在那个范围内。
But my answer to that question would have to be, aside from the obvious, which is the people and the relationships that you garner over a long period of time but the catering. The catering. They're the best. So it's the food.
但我对这个问题的回答是，除了显而易见的，那就是你在很长一段时间里积累的人际关系，除了餐饮。餐饮。他们是最好的。所以是食物的问题。
I don't see any reason to quit playing. I'll be doing this at least till I get to a hundred and something. You know, I ain't got far to go. But I'm still going to be playing, as long as I have good ideas, and can play as I do.
我看不出有任何理由停止打球。我至少要干到一百岁左右。你知道，我没有走多远。但只要我有好主意，而且能像现在这样打球，我还是会继续打球。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

去斗殴的唯一好处是你可以进入绿色的房间，你可以看到一些你很久没有见过的老朋友。
The degree of leverage now being reversed is staggering, and the underlying global imbalances - notably between the savers and the spenders - will require long and painful adjustment.
