A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

看

Look

At times, we forget the magnitude of the havoc we can wreak by off-loading our minds onto super-intelligent machines, that is, until they run away from us, like mad sorcerers' apprentices, and drag us up to the precipice for a look down into the abyss.

有时,我们忘记了将我们的思想卸载到超级智能机器上所能造成的巨大破坏,也就是说,直到它们像疯狂的魔法师学徒一样从我们身边跑开,把我们拖到悬崖边向下看深渊。

Sometimes we look for those thunderous things to happen in our life for our lives to change or go in the other direction. We seek the miracle. We seek the parting of the seas, the moving of the mountains. But no, it's a quiet thing. At least for me it was.

有时候,我们期待着那些轰轰烈烈的事情发生在我们的生活中,让我们的生活改变或走向另一个方向。我们追求奇迹。我们寻求海的分岔,山的移动。但不,这是一件安静的事情。至少对我来说是这样。

If my career continues along its current arc, people will probably look at me and see a writer who is obsessed with the relationship between rich and poor and with how the rich somehow or other always manage to betray the poor, even when they don't mean to.

如果我的职业生涯继续沿着目前的轨迹发展,人们可能会看着我,看到一个执迷于贫富关系,以及富人总是以某种方式背叛穷人的作家,即使他们并非有意如此。

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

当你快乐的时候,看看你的内心深处,你会发现只有那些带给你悲伤的东西才会带给你快乐。当你悲伤的时候,再看看你的心,你会发现你在为你曾经快乐的东西哭泣。

I know that sounds selfish, but you have to look at what it's doing to you personally - are you frustrated because of the way people perceive you, or are you happy enough about the things you've realized about yourself that you can tolerate the way people perceive you?

我知道这听起来很自私,但你必须看看这对你个人有什么影响——你是否因为别人对你的看法而感到沮丧,还是因为你对自己所认识到的事情感到足够快乐,从而能够容忍别人对你的看法?

I run like an electric golf cart. Now I look at eating as a way to feed my body and keep me younger. It's not about starving your body, but treating your body like a Ferrari. You don't put in the crappiest gas you can find. You use supreme. In the long term, you'll run clean.

我跑起来像个电动高尔夫球车。现在我把吃看作是一种喂养身体和保持年轻的方式。这不是让你的身体挨饿,而是像对待一辆法拉利一样对待你的身体。你不用放你能找到的最糟糕的汽油。你用最高。从长远来看,你会洗心革面的。

I've never really been star struck. I was a little bit taken aback when I was doing a chat show recently and I was sat in the make-up chair chatting to a guy say next to me but I couldn't look round and see who it was, it was only when I got up I realised it had been Bryan Adams I'd been talking to!

我从来没有真正被明星吸引过。我有点吃惊,当我最近在做一个访谈节目,我是坐在化妆椅旁边一个人说我聊天但我不能仔细察看,看看是谁,只有当我起床我意识到它已经被布莱恩•亚当斯我说话!
