A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
注意
Attention
It's easy to get next to music theory, especially between your peers and music classes and so forth. You just pay attention. I had a good ear, so I realized that printed music was just about reminding you what to play.
学习音乐理论很容易，尤其是在同学和音乐课之间。你只要集中注意力。我的耳朵很好，所以我意识到印刷音乐只是为了提醒你该演奏什么。
Discipline is based on pride, on meticulous attention to details, and on mutual respect and confidence. Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of the goal or the fear of failure.
纪律是建立在骄傲、对细节的一丝不苟、相互尊重和信心的基础上的。纪律必须是一种根深蒂固的习惯，它比目标带来的兴奋或对失败的恐惧更强烈。
Of all the species of literary composition, perhaps biography is the most delightful. The attention concentrated on one individual gives a unity to the materials of which it is composed, which is wanting in general history.
在所有的文学作品中，传记也许是最令人愉快的。把注意力集中在一个人身上，使构成这个人的材料统一起来，这是一般历史所缺乏的。
Save for minor ailments and accident, my battalion is practically immune from sickness; colds come and go as a matter of course, sprains and cuts claim momentary attention, but otherwise the health of the battalion is perfect.
除了一些小病和意外事故外，我的部队几乎没有生病。感冒来了又走是理所当然的事，扭伤和割伤需要短暂的关注，但除此之外，部队的健康状况是完美的。
There's times when you're having dinner with a good friend and you're in the middle of a conversation and somebody comes up and cuts you off. Can you sign this? Can I take a picture with you? I'm adjusting to all the attention.
有时候你和一个好朋友一起吃饭，你正在谈话，有人走过来打断了你。你能签下这个吗?我能和你合个影吗?我正在适应所有的关注。
Instead of yelling and spanking, which don't work anyway, I believe in finding creative ways to keep their attention - turning things into a game, for instance. And, when they do something good, positive reinforcement and praise.
我相信要找到创造性的方法来吸引他们的注意力，比如把事情变成一场游戏，而不是大喊大叫和打屁股，这些都不管用。当他们做了好事，积极的鼓励和表扬。
It has always surprised me how little attention philosophers have paid to humor, since it is a more significant process of mind than reason. Reason can only sort out perceptions, but the humor process is involved in changing them.
哲学家们对幽默的关注之少总是让我感到惊讶，因为幽默是一种比理性更重要的思维过程。理性只能理清认知，但幽默的过程涉及到改变它们。
I used to be a real prince charming if I went on a date with a girl. But then I'd get to where I was likely to have a stroke from the stress of keeping up my act. I've since learned the key to a good date is to pay attention on her.
如果我和一个女孩约会，我曾经是一个真正的白马王子。但之后我可能会因为压力太大而中风。从那以后，我明白了一个好的约会的关键是要关注她。
I used to just take every job that seemed relatively appealing. But now I take a job and it's in the trades the next day - it feels like people are watching and waiting to see what you do, and when you do take a job, attention is noted.
我曾经接受每一份看起来相对有吸引力的工作。但现在我找了一份工作，第二天就进入了行业——感觉就像人们在观望，等着看你在做什么，而当你真的找了一份工作时，注意力就会被注意到。
Vegas has the Whitman's Sampler of audiences. They come from all different places, so you have to do some crowd psychology. You have to find the heartbeat of the room. It doesn't shift my jokes, but it shifts my timing and my attention.
维加斯拥有惠特曼式的观众群。他们来自不同的地方，所以你必须做一些群体心理学。你必须找到房间的心跳。它不会转移我的笑话，但它会转移我的时间和注意力。
I called their attention also to the absence of all means of ventilating the hall, remarking that, as we had already breathed the air which it contained for a full hour, it must have lost much of its vital properties and needed to be renewed.
我还提醒他们注意，大厅里没有任何通风的设备，因为我们已经呼吸了整整一个小时的空气，所以它一定失去了许多重要的功能，需要更新。
I think that the use of copyright is going to change dramatically. Part of it is economics. There is just going to be so much content out there - there's a scarcity of attention. Information consumes attention, and there's too much information.
我认为版权的使用将发生巨大的变化。部分原因是经济原因。将会有那么多的内容在那里-有一个稀缺的关注。信息消耗注意力，信息太多了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.
始终致力于思想、言语和行为的完全和谐。时刻致力于净化你的思想，一切都会好起来的。
If I would get an album out every eight months and if I would write songs that were more up-tempo and try to focus more on making singles, then I could probably get more attention. But I don't think the albums would be very fun to listen to, and it would be a drag for me.
如果我能每八个月出一张专辑，如果我能写一些节奏更快的歌，试着更多地专注于创作单曲，那么我可能会得到更多的关注。但是我不认为这些专辑听起来会很有趣，而且对我来说会是一个累赘。
Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.
关注是最稀有和最纯粹的慷慨。
If we bestow but a very little attention to the economy of the animal creation, we shall find manifest examples of premeditation, perseverance, resolution, and consumate artifice, in order to effect their purpose.
如果我们对动物创造的经济只给予很少的关注，我们就会发现明显的预谋、毅力、决心和完善技巧的例子，以便达到它们的目的。
Once I had all the attention, all I had to do was deliver.
一旦我得到了所有的关注，我所要做的就是传递信息。
