A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
看
Looking
What interests me about clocks is that everything is hand-made, and yet to the person looking at the clock, something magical is happening that cannot be explained unless you are the clockmaker.
时钟让我感兴趣的是,所有的东西都是手工制作的,但对于看钟的人来说,发生了一些不可思议的事情,除非你是钟表匠,否则无法解释。
I was a goth girl in high school. Perhaps the powdered white face and the black lipstick were not the most attractive. I felt fabulous at the time but looking back, uh, probably not the best idea.
我上高中时是个哥特女孩。也许粉末状的白脸和黑色的唇膏并不是最吸引人的。当时我感觉很棒,但现在回想起来,嗯,可能不是最好的主意。
You think you're looking at things all the time, but you're not looking at things, you're looking at what your brain is interpreting through light and color. And who knows what everybody else sees?
你以为你一直在看东西,但你不是在看东西,你是在看你的大脑通过光和颜色在解释什么。谁知道其他人看到了什么?
I don't want to let my life as a woman pass me by. There's a time to work, there's a time to be young and crazy, and there should be a time to enjoy motherhood. I'm actually looking forward to that.
我不想让我作为一个女人的生命与我擦肩而过。有工作的时候,有年轻和疯狂的时候,也应该有享受做母亲的时候。我真的很期待。
Honestly, if I was looking at myself and I cheated, then I'd just think, 'Wow, how disappointing, I actually thought you were better than that.' It's about me and about the kind of man I want to be.
老实说,如果我看着自己作弊,我就会想,‘哇,真让人失望,我还以为你比我强呢。“这关乎我,关乎我想成为什么样的人。
You can tell by looking at me that I've got more miles behind me than I've got in front of me. When you reach that point, if you've got some good years left, you want to make sure that you use them wisely.
你看我就知道我后面的路比前面的路长得多。当你到了那个时候,如果你还有一些好年数,你要确保你明智地使用它们。
I don't buy the tabloids, but you're surrounded by it all and people tell you things they've read. I'd be sitting on a train looking over someone's shoulder and thinking: That's familiar... oh my God, it's me.
我不买小报,但你被它包围着,人们告诉你他们读过的东西。我会坐在火车上,越过某人的肩膀,想:这太熟悉了……天啊,是我。
Y'know what? This is what I go by: It doesn't matter how good-looking a guy is, it just depends on his personality. If a guy can make you laugh and make fun of you, then that's what would win me over. So, yeah.
你知道什么?这就是我的评价:一个男人有多帅并不重要,重要的是他的个性。如果一个男人能让你开怀大笑,取笑你,那就是能赢得我的。所以,是的。
I've always worked a bit like a cook in a big restaurant, where you've got lots and lots of things laid out and you go and look into one cauldron and you look into the other and you see what's coming to the boil.
我的工作一直有点像在一家大餐厅里做厨师,那里有很多很多的东西,你去看一个锅里的东西,再看另一个锅里的东西,你就会看到什么东西快要沸腾了。
I'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth.
我总是试图做一些不可能的事来取悦别人。它来自于我内心的不安全感,也来自于我没有看到我必须要解决的事情。有时候你坚持是因为你不想面对事实。
I like looking nice, but I always put comfort over fashion. I don't find thin girls attractive; be happy and healthy. I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather have lunch with my friends than go to a gym.
我喜欢看起来漂亮,但我总是把舒适置于时尚之上。我不觉得瘦女孩有吸引力;保持快乐和健康。我从来没有对我的外表有过任何问题。我宁愿和我的朋友一起吃午饭也不愿去健身房。
I like nonsense - it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope... And that enables you to laugh at all of life's realities.
我喜欢胡言乱语——它能唤醒脑细胞。幻想是生活的必要组成部分。这是一种用错误的望远镜观察生命的方式…这让你可以嘲笑生活中的所有现实。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I'm always looking, and I'm always asking questions.
我总是在看,我总是在问问题。
Looking back you realize that a very special person passed briefly through your life- and it was you. It is not too late to find that person again.
回首往事,你会意识到一个非常特别的人在你生命中短暂地走了一段时间,而这个人就是你。现在再找到那个人还为时不晚。
I think art is good at looking back and looking forward. I don't think art is good at looking head-on. At the end of the day, people are more important than paintings.
我认为艺术善于回顾和展望。我不认为艺术擅长正面观察。说到底,人比画更重要。
The only way to do is just to go for it, otherwise it ends up looking phoney.
唯一的办法就是去做,否则它看起来就像假的。
Looking back across the years, so many pictures flash on the screen of my memory that just as I begin to see one clearly, another slides in, blotting out the first, itself to be pushed aside by the next and the next and the next.
回首这些年,我的记忆中有那么多的照片在屏幕上闪过,当我开始清晰地看到其中的一张时,另一张幻灯片进来了,遮住了第一张,它自己被下一张、下一张、下一张推开了。
It's kind of awkward to eat alone in a restaurant because everybody's looking at me.
一个人在餐馆吃饭有点尴尬,因为每个人都在看着我。
