A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
事
Matter
It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war; but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.
我们仍然有责任努力避免战争;但是，如果这事真的要发生，不管是谁引起的，我们必须为自己辩护。如果我们的房子着火了，我们必须设法扑灭它，而不必问它是从里面还是外面着火的。
We said, there's another second gone, there's another minute and another hour and another day, when, as a matter of fact the second or the minute or the hour was never gone. It was the same one all the time. It had just moved along and we had moved with it.
我们说，又过了一秒钟，又过了一分钟，又过了一小时，又过了一天，而事实上，这一秒钟、这一分钟或这一小时从未消失过。一直都是一样的。它只是向前移动，我们也跟着移动。
I don't know if you ever say to yourself that you want to be an actress. It eventually becomes a social function - you are an actress and you make a living out of it, but at the beginning it's more a matter of how to survive, or how to exist in a certain way.
我不知道你是否曾经对自己说过你想成为一名演员。它最终成为一种社会功能——你是一名演员，并以此为生，但一开始更多的是如何生存，或如何以某种方式生存。
Sometimes it was difficult to make friends and be social in school because I was always practicing while other kids were getting together and doing things. But it just made me closer to my family, and I realized that they would always be there no matter what.
有时在学校里很难交到朋友和社交，因为我总是在其他孩子聚在一起做事情的时候练习。但这让我和家人更亲近，我意识到无论发生什么，他们永远都会在那里。
What's so crazy is when you give interviews to reporters that don't really care too much for you, basically what they're going to do is write what they want to write and discredit you. They're going to write and say what they want to say, no matter what you tell them.
最疯狂的是，当你接受那些并不怎么在乎你的记者的采访时，基本上他们所做的就是写他们想写的，然后抹黑你。不管你告诉他们什么，他们都会写下来，说他们想说的话。
I'd never painted anything before. I was quite content to take other people's work since I didn't care anyway about the subject matter. I approached subject matter as a scoundrel. I had nothing to say about it whatsoever. I only wanted to make these exciting paintings.
我以前从未画过任何东西。我很乐意接手别人的工作，因为我根本不在乎主题。我像个无赖一样处理问题。我对这件事没什么可说的。我只想画这些令人兴奋的画。
Money doesn't matter on a deeply personal level. It doesn't make you feel any happier. But of course I am very aware that I don't have to worry about earning a living or about those very important practical things that most people have to worry about on a very real level.
在个人层面上，金钱并不重要。它不会让你感到更快乐。但是，当然，我很清楚，我不必为谋生或那些大多数人在现实生活中不得不担心的非常重要的实际问题而操心。
So for instance it becomes clear why space and time and even the properties of matter itself depend on the observer in consciousness. In fact when you take this point of view it even explains why the laws of the universe themselves are fine tuned for the existence of life.
例如，为什么空间和时间，甚至物质本身的性质，都依赖于意识中的观察者，就变得很清楚了。事实上，当你从这个角度来看，它甚至解释了为什么宇宙的法则本身是为生命的存在而调整的。
I read numerous books - loads in fact - and, as I always do when recording a historical project, immersed myself into the subject matter. I spent many hours at Henry's old homes, such as Hampton Court, and visiting the Tower of London. I read no other books during that period.
我读了很多书——事实上是大量的书——而且，就像我在记录一个历史项目时经常做的那样，我把自己沉浸在主题中。我花了很多时间在亨利的故居，如汉普顿宫，参观伦敦塔。在那期间我没有读其他的书。
No matter where you are in your life, whatever set of people you're with, it all still breaks down like high school does. You have your social cliques, you have the people you get along with, the people you don't and the people you're ambivalent about. All of the dynamics are still here.
不管你在生活的哪个阶段，不管你和什么样的人在一起，这一切都会像高中一样崩溃。你有自己的社交圈，有和你相处融洽的人，有和你格格不入的人，还有让你矛盾的人。所有的动力都在这里。
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
我是自由的，因为我知道只有我一个人对我所做的每件事负有道德责任。我是自由的，不管我周围有什么规则。如果我觉得可以忍受，我就忍受;如果我发现它们太令人讨厌，我会打破它们。我是自由的，因为我知道只有我一个人对我所做的每件事负有道德责任。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you've come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself.
无论你是谁，无论你做了什么，无论你来自哪里，你都可以改变，成为更好的自己。
A truly appreciative child will break, lose, spoil, or fondle to death any really successful gift within a matter of minutes.
一个真正懂得欣赏的孩子会在几分钟内毁掉、失去、宠坏或爱抚任何真正成功的礼物。
No matter whether you are new or an old team member, you need time to adjust to one another.
无论你是新成员还是老成员，你都需要时间来适应彼此。
I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door - or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
我成了自己版本的乐观主义者。如果我不能通过一扇门，我会通过另一扇门——或者我要做一扇门。无论现在多么黑暗，可怕的事情总会发生。
A person that truly loves you will never let you go, no matter how hard the situation is.
一个真正爱你的人永远不会让你离开，不管情况有多难。
Of course, there will be few people who are sympathetic but you don't become a great team overnight, no matter how much money you have at your disposal.
当然，很少有人会同情你，但你不会在一夜之间成为一个伟大的团队，不管你有多少钱可以支配。
