A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
也许
Maybe
I wish my name was Brian because maybe sometimes people would misspell my name and call me Brain. That's like a free compliment and you don't even gotta be smart to notice it.
我希望我的名字是布莱恩,因为有时人们会拼错我的名字,叫我布莱恩。这就像免费的赞美,你甚至不需要聪明地去注意它。
I'm not an optimist. I'm a realist. And my reality is that we live in a multifaceted, multicultural world. And maybe once we stop labeling ourselves, then maybe everyone else will.
我不是一个乐观主义者。我是一个现实主义者。我的现实是,我们生活在一个多元文化的世界。也许一旦我们停止给自己贴标签,那么也许其他人也会这么做。
Maybe it's legitimate criticism, though it can be hurtful. Maybe I haven't paid sufficient attention to the people with whom I would have a natural affinity as a liberal, and they feel let down by that.
也许这是合理的批评,尽管它可能是有害的。也许我没有足够重视那些和我有自然亲和力的自由派人士,他们对此感到失望。
My habit would have been to veer towards the dark - to prove I was something; edgy, or maybe to prove that I was cognisant of the dark side. Now, with age and confidence, I can say, yeah, that's true, but I am cognisant of the fact that people can do things well. And can be more loving than you expect.
我的习惯是转向黑暗——以证明我是个了不起的人;也许是为了证明我知道黑暗的一面。现在,随着年龄的增长和自信,我可以说,是的,这是真的,但我知道人们可以把事情做好。比你想象的更有爱心。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Maybe it's our sins that give God consolation when he finally has to give us cancer.
也许是我们的罪给了上帝安慰,当他最终不得不给我们癌症。
I wouldn't say I was a queen. Maybe a little elf.
我不会说我是女王。也许是一个小精灵。
Maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots.
也许你正在树枝间寻找,寻找只出现在树根里的东西。
I wanted to support things that are helpful to people and maybe bash what I think is dangerous. So I switched from being everybody to being myself.
我想支持对人们有帮助的东西,也许抨击我认为危险的东西。所以我从每个人变成了我自己。
Maybe everything was meant to be this way.
也许一切都是命中注定的。
