A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
意思是
Mean
To me, every interview, even if you love the artist, needs to be somewhat adversarial. Which doesn't mean you need to attack the person, but you do need to look at it like you're trying to get information that has not been written about before.
对我来说,每一次采访,即使你喜欢这位艺术家,也需要有一些敌意。这并不意味着你需要攻击这个人,但是你需要把它看成是你试图获得的信息是以前没有写过的。
It is spectacular. From about five minutes in, when we knew for sure that we were going to have the weather to go, the smile on my face just got bigger and bigger, and I was just beaming through the whole launch. I mean, it is just an amazing ride.
它是壮观的。大约五分钟后,当我们确定天气要变坏时,我脸上的笑容变得越来越大,整个发射过程我都在微笑。我的意思是,这是一次奇妙的旅程。
I was at first but I mean I thought at first that I wanted a little bit of that in there but the reasoning behind what they cut and what they kept really makes sense and it really played for me when I saw it yesterday, it all worked and was understood.
起初我是,但我的意思是我起初以为我想一点点,但他们切割和背后的原因一直真的是有意义的,它真的在我昨天我看到它时,它所有的工作和理解。
You know, there are not only - all of the networks, and I mean every television news operation and print and radio and magazines, newspapers, all of them, are remiss in the diversity area. I mean, none of these organizations have reached a level of parity.
你知道,不仅仅是所有的网络,我的意思是每一个电视新闻运作,印刷,广播,杂志,报纸,所有的这些,在多样性领域都是疏忽的。我的意思是,这些组织都没有达到平等的水平。
If my career continues along its current arc, people will probably look at me and see a writer who is obsessed with the relationship between rich and poor and with how the rich somehow or other always manage to betray the poor, even when they don't mean to.
如果我的职业生涯继续沿着目前的轨迹发展,人们可能会看着我,看到一个执迷于贫富关系,以及富人总是以某种方式背叛穷人的作家,即使他们并非有意如此。
I always seem to find myself fighting the law of equilibrium - the great leveling force that brings things to the mean and takes the 'cartoonishness' out of life. Perhaps I am doing a very unnatural thing... If Einstein were still alive I would ask him about it.
我似乎总是发现自己在与平衡法则作斗争——平衡法则是一种强大的平衡力,它使事物趋于平衡,使生活不再具有“卡通化”。也许我在做一件很不自然的事……如果爱因斯坦还活着,我会问他这个问题。
My painting is visible images which conceal nothing... they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.
我的画是有形的图像,没有任何隐藏…它们唤起了神秘感,当你看到我的照片时,你会问自己一个简单的问题“这是什么意思?”它没有任何意义,因为神秘也没有任何意义,它是不可知的。
You have to give access to people with disabilities but there is no requirement to hire them. What I mean by affirmative obligation is that producers must take the necessary steps to include opportunities for people with disabilities and a vast majority of them do.
你必须给残疾人提供机会,但没有雇佣他们的要求。我所说的积极义务是,生产者必须采取必要的步骤,为残疾人提供机会,而他们中的绝大多数人都是这样做的。
It was a lot easier to write songs before I had a record deal, because the record labels and the industry doesn't mean to put pressure on you, but they do. They don't realize that they are, but you end up having a pressure there that you feel. At times I feel myself wanting to say, 'Just let me do what I do.'
在我和唱片公司签约之前,写歌要容易得多,因为唱片公司和唱片行业并不想给你施加压力,但他们确实给了你压力。他们没有意识到这一点,但你最终会感受到一种压力。有时我觉得自己想说,‘让我做我该做的吧。’
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Life does not mean mere karma or mere bhakti or mere jnana.
生命并不仅仅意味着因果报应、巴克提或耆那教。
When something is missing in your life, it usually turns out to be someone.
当你的生活中缺少了什么东西时,往往是某个人。
I mean, Tool has a style, but we try to make all our songs sound different from each other.
我的意思是,工具有自己的风格,但是我们试着让我们所有的歌曲听起来都不一样。
Alliance does not mean love, any more than war means hate.
联盟并不意味着爱,正如战争并不意味着仇恨一样。
I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
我不是榜样…我扣篮并不意味着我应该抚养你的孩子。
I mean, when it gets down to it I just wanted to play the drums. The rest of it never meant that much to me.
我的意思是,当真正开始的时候,我只想打鼓。其余的对我来说从来就没有那么重要。
