A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
五月
May
We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.
我们应该为年老做好准备，这样，这个世界就不会迫切需要从对下一个世界的冥想中吸收老年。看到老态龙钟的瘦削的手在坟墓上做棺材是可怕的。
You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.
你是受过教育的。你的证书就是你的学位。你可以把它看作通往美好生活的门票。让我请你想出一个替代方案。把它看作是你改变世界的门票。
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
正如我赞同一个年轻人身上有一点老人的气质一样，我对一个老人身上有一点年轻人的气质也同样感到高兴。遵守这条规则的人，身体可能会变老，但思想永远不会变老。
I think we are living in selfish times. I'm the first one to say that I'm the most selfish. We live in the so-called 'first world,' and we may be first in a lot of things like technology, but we are behind in empathy.
我认为我们生活在一个自私的时代。我是第一个说我最自私的人。我们生活在所谓的“第一世界”，我们可能在很多事情上领先，比如科技，但我们在同理心方面落后了。
Over the long run, the price of gold approximates the total amount of money in circulation divided by the size of the gold stock. If the market price of gold moves a long way from this level, it may indicate a buying or selling opportunity.
从长期来看，黄金价格近似于流通中的货币总量除以黄金存量的大小。如果黄金的市场价格从这一水平大幅波动，它可能预示着一个买进或卖出的机会。
I understand that computers, which I once believed to be but a hermaphrodite typewriter-cum-filing cabinet, offer the cyber literate increased ability to communicate. I do not think this is altogether a bad thing, however it may appear on the surface.
我明白，我曾经认为电脑不过是一台雌雄同体的打字机兼文件柜，但它为懂网络的人提供了更强的沟通能力。我不认为这完全是一件坏事，不管表面上看起来如何。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
深爱的人永远不会变老;他们可能因年老而死，但却英年早逝。
People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.
人们可能听到你的话，但他们能感觉到你的态度。
It may be unfair of me but I do feel I know it.
这可能对我不公平，但我确实觉得我知道。
If you practice an art, be proud of it and make it proud of you It may break your heart, but it will fill your heart before it breaks it; it will make you a person in your own right.
如果你练习一门艺术，要为它感到骄傲，让它为你感到骄傲。它会让你成为一个真正的人。
Those things which I am saying now may be obscure, yet they will be made clearer in their proper place.
我现在所说的，也许是模糊不清的，但到了一定的时候，就必更加清楚了。
