A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
个人
Myself
I'd just like to prove to myself that I'm all here and all together and can get the best out of myself. I'd also like to prove that to a couple of other people.
我只是想向自己证明，我在这里，我在一起，我可以发挥自己最好的一面。我也想向其他人证明这一点。
Am I worried people will say I'm repeating myself? Sure. One thought I had was to publish it as a novel but eventually I just decided to do what I wanted to do.
我担心人们会说我在重复我自己吗?确定。一个想法是把它写成小说出版，但最终我决定做我想做的事。
Imagine if it happened to you: All of a sudden you find this thing on your wrist and people are telling you it has powers. I would be a little skeptical myself.
想象一下如果它发生在你身上:突然你发现这个东西在你的手腕上，人们告诉你它有力量。我自己也有点怀疑。
I have now taken a serious task upon myself and I fear a greater one that is in the power of any man to perform in the given time-but it is too late to go back.
我现在已经承担了一项严肃的任务，我害怕在给定的时间里，任何人都有能力完成一项更大的任务——但是现在已经太晚了，不能回去了。
It was a fine day. It is a tough enough golf course that you can get back into it with a good round...For the most part I gave myself a lot of good birdie putts.
那天天气很好。这是一个足够强硬的高尔夫球场，你可以回到它与一个良好的回合…在很大程度上，我给自己打了很多漂亮的小鸟球。
I suppose I sometimes used to act like I wasn't a human being... Sometimes I look back at myself and remember things I used to say, or my hairstyle, and I cringe.
我想我有时表现得好像我不是一个人……有时我回头看自己，想起我以前说过的话，或者我的发型，我就会畏缩。
I never thought of myself in comedy at all... I loved going to the theatre and seeing people wearing beautiful clothes come down the staircase and start to dance.
我从来没有想过自己会演喜剧……我喜欢去剧院，看到人们穿着漂亮的衣服从楼梯上走下来，开始跳舞。
When I was practicing psychology, I used to tell myself if I ever get to where I'm just doing this for the money or I'm just going through the motions, I'll quit.
当我在做心理学的时候，我常常告诉自己，如果我只是为了钱或者只是做做样子，我就会辞职。
I view myself primarily as a trial lawyer who happens to be writing, as opposed to a writer who happens to be a trial lawyer, so the audience is like a jury to me.
我认为自己主要是一个碰巧在写作的审判律师，而不是一个碰巧是审判律师的作家，所以观众对我来说就像陪审团。
I write as a way of keeping myself going. You build your life around writing, and it's what gets you through. So it's partly just curiosity to see what you can do.
我写作是为了让自己继续下去。你的生活是围绕写作展开的，写作让你度过难关。所以部分原因是好奇想看看你能做什么。
I just believe that the feeling of wonder is amazing. I am pushing myself as far as I can humanly push myself... I can only hope for the best and expect the worse.
我只是相信那种惊奇的感觉很奇妙。我在尽我所能地强迫自己……我只能抱最好的希望，做最坏的打算。
That helped me to keep in touch with myself and to keep in touch with this really quite extraordinary language and literature into which I had pushed a little way.
这帮助我与自己保持联系，并与我所推动的这个非常非凡的语言和文学保持联系。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I'm the sort of person who keeps a lot to myself.
我是那种对自己守口如瓶的人。
The panic of the Depression loosened my inhibitions against being different. I could be myself.
大萧条的恐慌放松了我对与众不同的抑制。我可以做我自己。
I've always been in the right place and time. Of course, I steered myself there.
我总是在正确的时间和地点。当然，我是自己开车去的。
In any case, Ives encouraged me to go into music even though he himself had such a hard time being a composer.
无论如何，艾夫斯鼓励我进入音乐领域，尽管他自己作为一名作曲家经历了如此艰难的时期。
If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when?
我若不为自己，谁为我呢?如果我不为别人，我是谁?如果不是现在，什么时候?
I'm bad and I'm going to hell, and I don't care. I'd rather be in hell than anywhere where you are.
我很坏，我要下地狱了，我不在乎。我宁愿去地狱也不愿去任何你在的地方。
