A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
镜子
Mirror
The way you get to know yourself is by the expressions on other people's faces, because that's the only thing that you can see, unless you carry a mirror about.
你了解自己的方式是通过别人脸上的表情,因为那是你唯一能看到的东西,除非你随身带着镜子。
Mirrors don’t lie. They only show a part of truth. A broken mirror can enlarge a face up to a dimension of a small planet. A problem of reflection? A point of view.
镜子不会说谎。他们只显示了部分事实。破碎的镜子可以把一张脸放大到一个小行星的尺寸。反思的问题?一个观点。
He reproduced himself with so much humble objectivity, with the unquestioning, matter of fact interest of a dog who sees himself in a mirror and thinks: there's another dog.
他以如此谦卑的客观态度再现了自己,带着一条狗在镜子里看到自己并想:还有另一条狗。
I always wear beige, black or white. For one thing I look good in them. For another, when I'm beside a star at a fitting, and she looks into the mirror, I don't want to be competing in any way.
我总是穿米色、黑色或白色的衣服。首先,我穿它们很好看。另一方面,当我在试衣时站在一位明星旁边,她看着镜子时,我不想以任何方式竞争。
Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed.
就像水一样,只有在表面不受干扰的情况下,才能清楚地反映出天空和树木,只有在内心平静和完全放松的时候,才能反映出真实的自我形象。
And so we were asleep there in San Diego. And our pilot called us. And his brother was on one of the other planes. And when he was leaving the airport, he saw in his rear view mirror that there was an explosion.
我们在圣地亚哥睡着了。我们的飞行员打电话给我们。他哥哥在另一架飞机上。当他离开机场时,他从后视镜里看到发生了爆炸。
I had to go to a mirror and look at it. I couldn't picture myself in my own head. I had no image beyond a stick figure. I wasn't a mean person as a kid, or dumb, and something has to be said to justify excluding you.
我不得不走到镜子前看着它。我无法想象我自己。我只有一个简笔画的形象。当我还是个孩子的时候,我不是一个刻薄的人,也不是一个愚蠢的人,我必须说些什么来证明把你排除在外是合理的。
I used to blame my problems on other people. But my moment of clarity, if you want to call it that, came when I was looking in the mirror one day and just burst into tears. It wasn't just that I looked bad, it was that I knew my problem was me.
我过去常常把我的问题归咎于别人。但我清醒的那一刻,如果你想这么说的话,是有一天我看着镜子里的自己,突然哭了起来。我不仅看起来很糟糕,而且我知道我的问题出在我自己身上。
I remember him watching me through the crack of a door singing with a hairbrush. I was in front of his mirror. I think he wanted me to sing. He would get me on the table and make me sing sometimes or play the piano. He was very encouraging on that front.
我记得他透过门缝看着我用梳子唱歌。我在他的镜子前。我想他想让我唱歌。他会把我放在桌子上,有时让我唱歌或弹钢琴。在这方面,他非常鼓舞人心。
I love driving, but sometimes, I'm not too good at it because I spend too much time looking in the rearview mirror if I know I'm being followed. You don't respond like, 'Oh, there's paparazzi.' It's more like, 'There's a man, and he's going to attack me.' That's how your body responds.
我喜欢开车,但是有时候,我不太擅长开车,因为如果我知道有人在跟踪我,我就会花太多时间看后视镜。你不会这样回答,‘哦,有狗仔队。这更像是在说,有个人要攻击我。这就是你的身体的反应。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Don't stare into a mirror when you are trying to solve a problem.
当你试图解决问题时,不要盯着镜子看。
As a kid, I'd go into the bathroom when I was having a tantrum. I'd be in the bathroom crying, studying myself in the mirror. I was preparing for future roles.
