A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
媒体
Media
Which suggests something about media and war: it's not just that events happen and the media documents and presents them. There is a third element: what the public is ready to accept, what the public wants to know.
这暗示了媒体和战争的一些东西:不仅仅是事件发生，媒体记录并呈现它们。还有第三个要素:公众愿意接受什么，公众想知道什么。
It's an image that the media has given me as a bad girl, and the only reason they gave me that image is just because of the few things that have gone wrong in my life, and also because I grew up living in a trailer.
这是媒体给我的一个坏女孩的形象，他们给我这个形象的唯一原因只是因为我的生活中出现了一些问题，也因为我是在拖车里长大的。
What was a problem was the excessive amount of media attention to the appointment of the first woman and everything she did. Everywhere that Sandra went, the press was sure to go. And that got tiresome; it was stressful.
问题是媒体对任命第一位女性以及她所做的一切给予了过多的关注。桑德拉走到哪里，媒体就到哪里。这让人厌烦;这是压力。
The media tends to report rumors, speculations, and projections as facts... How does the media do this? By quoting some "expert"... you can always find some expert who will say something hopelessly hopeless about anything.
媒体倾向于把谣言、猜测和预测当作事实来报道。媒体是如何做到这一点的?引用一些“专家”的话…你总能找到一些专家，他们会对任何事情说一些毫无希望的话。
The Western media tends to place a lot of emphasis on official institutions in Ukraine such as its supreme court, the central election commission, and the parliament. In reality, the people of Ukraine now control their destiny.
西方媒体往往把重点放在乌克兰的官方机构上，比如最高法院、中央选举委员会和议会。实际上，乌克兰人民现在掌握着自己的命运。
Also, the commercial media in a superior position, really, to any other corporate lobby, because where would people hear about commercial media or corporate media criticism, where would they hear criticism of them other than in the commercial media?
而且，商业媒体的优势，真的，比任何其他的企业游说团体都要大，因为人们从哪里听到商业媒体或企业媒体的批评，除了商业媒体，他们从哪里听到对他们的批评?
The daily press, the immediate media, is superb at synecdoche, at giving us a small thing that stands for a much larger thing. Reporters on the ground, embedded or otherwise, can tell us about or send us pictures of what happened in that place at that time among those people.
每日的媒体，即时的媒体，擅长于提喻，擅长于给我们一个代表更大事物的小事物。地面上的记者，不管是嵌入式的还是其他的，都可以告诉我们或者给我们发送当时在那个地方发生的那些人的照片。
You know, the media and politicians are always gonna be in a bit of tension with one another and probably most of the time that's healthy and indeed even creative. But it's where - it's really when news organisations are used as kind of instruments of politics that it gets tricky.
你知道，媒体和政客之间总是会有一些紧张关系，可能大多数时候这是健康的，甚至是创造性的。但当新闻机构被用作政治工具时，问题就变得棘手了。
Social media is a giant distraction to the ultimate aim, which is honing your craft as a songwriter. There are people who are exceptional at it, however, and if you can do both things, then that's fantastic, but if you are a writer, the time is better spent on a clever lyric than a clever tweet.
社交媒体极大地分散了你对最终目标的注意力，而最终目标是磨练你作为一名作曲家的写作技巧。然而，也有一些人在这方面很特别，如果你能同时做到这两件事，那就太好了，但如果你是一个作家，花时间写一首聪明的歌词比发一条聪明的推特更好。
