A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
大多数
Most
The most important thing about a TV set is to get it back against something and not out in the middle of a room where it's like a somber fellow making electronic judgments on you.
电视机最重要的一点是要把它放回原处,而不是放在一个房间的中央,让它看起来像一个阴沉的家伙在对你进行电子判断。
The safest and most suitable form of penance seems to be that which causes pain in the flesh but does not penetrate to the bones, that is, which causes suffering but not sickness.
最安全、最适当的苦修形式似乎是使肉体痛苦而不穿透骨头的苦修,也就是说,使人受苦而不使人生病。
I think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to understand the fundamental workings of the universe via a language devised for telling one another when the best fruit is.
我认为,也许最重要的问题是,我们正试图通过一种语言来理解宇宙的基本运作方式,这种语言是用来告诉彼此最好的水果是什么时候的。
Thirteen thousand dollars a year is not enough to raise a family. That's not enough to pay your bills and save for their future. That's barely enough to provide for even the most basic needs.
一年一万三千美元不够养家。这还不够支付你的账单和为他们的未来存钱。这几乎不够满足最基本的需要。
Sometimes I use Botox. Compared to most, I use it very sparingly. One time I did too much, though. I feel weird if I can't move my face, and that one time I overdid it, I felt trapped in my own skin.
有时我用肉毒杆菌。与大多数人相比,我很少使用它。不过,有一次我做得太多了。如果我不能移动我的脸,我觉得很奇怪,有一次我做得太过火了,我感觉被自己的皮肤困住了。
The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?
我能为我的朋友做的最多的就是做他的朋友。我没有钱给他。如果他知道我爱他是幸福的,他就不要别的报酬了。难道友谊不是神圣的吗?
One's family is the most important thing in life. I look at it this way: One of these days I'll be over in a hospital somewhere with four walls around me. And the only people who'll be with me will be my family.

If I said to most of the people who auditioned, 'Good job, awesome, well done,' it would have made me actually look and feel ridiculous. It's quite obvious most of the people who turned up for this audition were hopeless.

You really get the most out of sweet corn if you pick the corn off the stalk and rush it to a pot of boiling water. The longer you wait, the more sugar you lose. But if you get it in the first half hour, that is the sweetest corn ever.
如果你把玉米从茎上摘下来,然后把它放到一壶沸水里,你就能充分利用甜玉米。你等的时间越长,你失去的糖就越多。但如果你在半小时内吃到,那是有史以来最甜的玉米。
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.

We found that the most exciting environments, that treated people very well, are also tough as nails. There is no bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo... excellent companies provide two things simultaneously: tough environments and very supportive environments.

Originality is nothing but judicious imitation. The most original writers borrowed from one another. The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the prope.
独创性不过是明智的模仿。最具独创性的作家互相借鉴。我们从书中得到的指导就像火一样。我们从邻居那里得到它,在家里点燃它,与他人交流它,它就变成了一个过程。
