A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
意味着
Means
Man is a means and not an end, and he is a means to economic or political ends which are not really ends in themselves but means to other ends which in their turn are means and so ad infinitum.
人是一种手段而不是目的,他是达到经济或政治目的的一种手段,而经济或政治目的本身并不是真正的目的,而是达到其他目的的手段,而这些目的反过来又是手段,如此无穷。
There is an expression, "The world is as you are." I think it means that it can be the same old world, but when we change -- in a more positive way -- that same old world looks better and better.
有句话是这样说的:“世界就是你自己。”我认为这意味着它可以是同样的旧世界,但当我们以一种更积极的方式改变时,同样的旧世界会变得越来越好。
That means presenting the issues in certain ways that will appeal to those people and then becoming a prisoner of your own language and thought process. That has always happened - it's just been intensified.
这意味着以特定的方式提出问题,吸引那些人,然后成为你自己的语言和思维过程的囚徒。这种情况一直都在发生,只是变得更加严重了。
In terms of an identity, an identity reflects an individuality, by definition. And, if there is a quality present, it is recognizable and it can be named. If you can't name it, it means you don't recognize it.
就身份而言,根据定义,身份反映了个性。而且,如果有一个高质量的礼物,它是可识别的,它可以命名。如果你不能说出它的名字,那就意味着你不认识它。
The main consideration with those who, possessing some capital, propose to emigrate as the means of improving their condition, is, the society likely to be found in the land fixed on for their future residence.

As far as starting or not starting, that means more to some players than others. And if it means more to someone else, I think you should let them start and just go out there and do your job when it's your turn.
至于首发与否,这对一些球员来说比其他人更重要。如果这对其他人来说意味着更多,我认为你应该让他们开始,当轮到你的时候,让他们去做你的工作。
Even the striving for equality by means of a directed economy can result only in an officially enforced inequality - an authoritarian determination of the status of each individual in the new hierarchical order.

It’s not important to reach the top of the mountain. What is important is the climb. … The journey is far more important than the destination, because it is of our making. What counts is how we behave as we are climbing.
到达山顶并不重要。重要的是攀登。旅行远比目的地重要,因为它是我们自己创造的。重要的是我们攀登时的行为举止。
By what criterion... can we distinguish among the numberless effects, that are also causes, and among the causes that may, for aught we can know, be also effects, - how can we distinguish which are the means and which are the ends?
的标准……我们能在无数的结果中加以区分吗?这些结果也是原因,而在我们所知道的原因中,也许也是结果,我们怎么能区分哪些是手段,哪些是目的呢?
A particularly fine head on a man usually means that he is stupid; particularly deep philosophers are usually shallow thinkers; in literature, talents not much above the average are usually regarded by their contemporaries as geniuses.

As a social good, I think privacy is greatly overrated because privacy basically means concealment. People conceal things in order to fool other people about them. They want to appear healthier than they are, smarter, more honest and so forth.
作为一种社会公益,我认为隐私被严重高估了,因为隐私基本上意味着隐藏。人们隐瞒事情是为了愚弄别人。他们想表现得比自己更健康,更聪明,更诚实等等。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Age is something only in your head or a stereotype. Age means nothing when you are passionate about something.
年龄只存在于你的脑海中,或者是一种刻板印象。当你对某件事充满激情时,年龄并不意味着什么。
I ascribe a basic importance to the phenomenon of language. To speak means to be in a position to use a certain syntax, to grasp the morphology of this or that language, but it means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization.
我认为语言现象具有基本的重要性。“说”的意思是能够使用某种语法,掌握这种或那种语言的形态,但最重要的是要假定一种文化,支持一种文明的重量。

So people think I'm lying about my age all the time? It's the records that are wrong. I've never told anyone how old I am. The minute they ask me, I say 'That's none of your business.' So that means I've never once lied about my age. Now that's true!
所以人们认为我一直在谎报年龄?是记录错了。我从来没有告诉过任何人我有多大。他们一问我,我就说:‘这不关你的事。所以这意味着我从来没有谎报过自己的年龄。现在这是真的!
I always have a good reason for taking something out but I never have one for putting something in. And I don't want to, because that means that the picture is being painted predigested.
