A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
意味着
Means
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
当我们诚实地问自己生命中谁对我们最重要时,我们常常发现,是那些人,他们没有给出建议、解决方案或治愈方法,而是选择与我们分享痛苦,用温暖而温柔的手触摸我们的伤口。
Modern techniques have torn down state frontiers, both economical and intellectual. The growth of means of transport has created a world market and an opportunity for division of labor embracing all the developed and most of the undeveloped states.
现代技术已经摧毁了国家的边界,无论是经济上还是智力上。运输工具的发展创造了一个世界市场和一个包括所有发达国家和大多数不发达国家的分工机会。
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!
Part of the way the work world works is not so much creating a separation between your work and your free time, but creating the illusion of a separation between your work and your free time. Every day is the weekend for me, which means I'm always busy.
工作世界的运作方式之一,与其说是在你的工作和空闲时间之间制造一种隔阂,不如说是在你的工作和空闲时间之间制造一种隔阂的幻觉。每天对我来说都是周末,这意味着我总是很忙。
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。
But what does interest me is the notion that if you do a lot of work it means there's a potential for other people to understand that a lot of things are possible with a sustained effort and that the broadening of experiences is possible and I think that's all art can be.
但是我什么感兴趣的概念,如果你做了很多工作,这意味着有可能别人明白,很多事情是可能的和持续的努力和经验的扩大是可能的,我认为这是所有艺术都可以。

To be a surrealist means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been.

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?
