A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
使
Made
It made me alive to the fact that the most important thing sometimes is what isn't said - to prepare for moments of revelation that can be read entirely on actors' faces without dialogue.
这让我意识到,有时候最重要的是什么没有说出来——为那些完全可以从演员脸上读到的没有对话的启示时刻做好准备。
My friends tell me that I've calmed down, that I seem more centered. I don't know, I think my inner self was more hollow before, which made me more scattered, and more needy to get laughs.
我的朋友告诉我,我已经冷静下来了,我看起来更专注了。我不知道,我觉得我的内心以前更空虚,这让我更分散,更渴望得到笑声。
Shields were generally made of wood, covered with leather, or some similar substance. To secure them, in some sort, from being cut through by the sword, they were surrounded with a hoop of metal.

I never expected this to catch on in the way it did! Of course similar observations have been made by any number of people, and the distinction is obvious to anyone who thinks about the subject a little.

I'd like to one day be featured on a list of inspirational people who have made a difference in the world, whether it be helping underprivileged people or putting an end to the poaching of wildlife in Africa.

When I got to Princeton I made a point of attending the Philosophy Club and listening to the lectures, but I didn't get involved in any discussions in those clubs. I guess after the first year, I dropped that.
当我来到普林斯顿的时候,我很重视参加哲学俱乐部,听讲座,但是我没有参与任何俱乐部的讨论。我想第一年之后,我就放弃了。
I became very famous, as a teenager, and my name and photo were splashed in all the media. They made me larger than life, so I wanted to live larger than life, and the only way to do that was to be intoxicated.

When a judge assumes the power to decide which distinctions made in a statute are legitimate and which are not, he assumes the power to disapprove of any and all legislation, because all legislation makes distinctions.
当法官有权力决定某一法规中哪些区分是合法的,哪些是不合法的,他就有权力反对任何和所有的立法,因为所有的立法都有区分。
