A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Long
From as long as, literally as far back as I can remember I've liked puns, word jokes, I can literally recall looking at a comic at the age of six or seven and I remember what I enjoyed and what it was precisely and how the joke worked.
从我记事起，我就喜欢双关语和文字笑话，我能记起六七岁时看漫画的情景，我记得我喜欢什么，确切地说，是什么，笑话是怎么起作用的。
Whenever I go to work I wear a jacket and a tie, because I'm inherently quite lazy, and my books take so long to do, and my publishers don't bug me, so it's so easy to fool yourself into thinking you're working harder than you really are.
我每次上班都穿夹克打领带，因为我天生就很懒，我的书要花很长时间才能完成，我的出版商也不烦我，所以很容易让自己误以为自己比实际工作更努力。
I got married and decided I wanted to do a dance record, and I didn't ever expect for it to be what it was or for the 'No Doubt' thing to be such a long break, but it was one of those things where you just had to sort of follow your inspiration.
结婚的时候,我觉得我想做一个舞蹈记录,和我不期望它是什么或“毫无疑问”的这样一个长时间的休息,但这是不可避免的事,你只需要跟着你的灵感。
And so, you can do hundreds and hundreds of studies showing a general factor and just so long as you restrict your populations, your testing materials and the kinds of situations you look at, you can keep finding the same wrong thing again and again.
所以，你可以做成百上千的研究来证明一个普遍的因素只要你限制你的群体，你的测试材料和你所观察的情况，你就可以一次又一次地发现同样的错误。
It has long been known for sure that the sight of tasty food makes a hungry man's mouth water; also lack of appetite has always been regarded as an undesirable phenomenon, from which one might conclude that appetite is essentially linked with the process of digestion.
人们早就知道，一看到美味的食物，饥饿的人就会流口水;此外，食欲不振一直被认为是一种不受欢迎的现象，从这一现象我们可以得出这样的结论:食欲在本质上与消化过程有关。
Though actually the work of man's hands - or, more properly speaking, the work of his travelling feet, - roads have long since come to seem so much a part of Nature that we have grown to think of them as a feature of the landscape no less natural than rocks and trees.
但实际上人的手的工作——或者,更确切的说,他的脚的工作,道路似乎早就来这么多自然的一部分,我们已经把它们作为景观的一大特色自然不比岩石和树木。
Really, I'm incredibly disjointed and not candid. Just in general, my thoughts tend to come out in little spurts that don't necessarily connect. If you hang around long enough, you can find the linear path. But it will take a second. That is why these interviews never go well for me.
真的，我的语无伦次而且不坦诚。总的来说，我的想法往往是一股脑儿冒出来的，不一定有联系。如果你停留的时间足够长，你可以找到线性路径。但这需要一秒钟。这就是为什么这些面试对我来说从来都不顺利。
People are remarkably bad at remembering long lists of goals. I learned this at a professional level when trying to get my high-performance coaching clients to stay on track; the longer their lists of to-dos and goals, the more overwhelmed and off-track they got. Clarity comes with simplicity.
人们非常不善于记住长长的目标清单。当我试图让我的高绩效教练客户保持在正轨上时，我在专业水平上学会了这一点;他们的待办事项和目标清单越长，他们就越不知所措，越偏离轨道。清晰伴随着简单。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

我知道，只要我坐下来写，想法就会出现。它们会是什么，我不知道。
May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.
愿你想活多久就活多久，不想活多久就活多久。
Being a part of the National Football League for so long, I've come across so many trainers and equipment managers who've allowed me to be who I am today.
作为国家足球联盟的一员，我已经经历了这么长时间，我遇到了这么多的教练和设备经理，他们让我成为了今天的我。
For too long, actually, we have either said you're this or that.
太久了，事实上，我们不是说你是这个就是那个。
