A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
个人
Myself
I didn't get hugely famous really quick. It was a slow, gradual process, so I was able to sort of grow into myself and figure out who I was and what I wanted without the glaring spotlight on me telling me who I was.
我并没有很快出名。这是一个缓慢的、渐进的过程,所以我能够慢慢地成长,弄清楚我是谁,我想要什么,而不是在聚光灯下告诉我我是谁。
I don't remember my parents together, ever: my father was much older, and really only interested in collecting magazines and bathroom suites; we were the only family in the area to have a bathroom suite on the lawn.
我不记得我的父母曾经在一起:我的父亲比我大得多,他真的只对收集杂志和浴室套间感兴趣;我们是这个地区唯一一个在草坪上拥有浴室套房的家庭。
When I see myself in the videogame it's amazing how realistic I look. This is the most authentic and realistic soccer game I have ever seen. It is like I'm looking in a mirror. The attention to detail is incredible.
当我在电子游戏中看到自己时,我发现自己看起来是多么的真实。这是我看过的最真实、最逼真的足球比赛。就像我在照镜子一样。对细节的关注令人难以置信。
It's bittersweet, ... It didn't work out here. It's something I've got to swallow. They had high expectations and I had high expectations for myself. For some reason... I've got to put it on myself. But it happened.
这是苦乐参半的,……在这里行不通。这是我不得不咽下去的东西。他们对我有很高的期望,我对自己也有很高的期望。由于某种原因……我得自己戴上。但它的发生而笑。
But when I lose my temper, I find it difficult to forgive myself. I feel I've failed. I can be calm in a crisis, in the face of death or things that hurt badly. I don't get hysterical, which may be masochistic of me.
但是当我发脾气时,我发现很难原谅自己。我觉得我失败了。我可以在危机中保持冷静,面对死亡或伤害严重的事情。我不会歇斯底里,这可能是我的受虐狂。
I like them all - I don't always approve. I see myself as a sort of benevolent uncle to these characters, and I can see why they do what they do; sometimes they make some mistakes, but at heart I think they're decent.
我喜欢他们所有人——我并不总是赞成。我把自己看作是这些角色的仁慈叔叔,我能理解他们为什么这么做;有时他们会犯一些错误,但在内心深处,我认为他们是正派的。
I felt that the best I could do for my father, and the best I could do for myself, and my mother and my family was to stay open to the experience, and learn whatever I could at every step of the way as it was going on.
我觉得我能为我的父亲做的最好的事情,我能为我自己做的最好的事情,我的母亲和我的家人做的最好的事情,就是保持开放的心态去接受这种经历,在前进的每一步都尽可能地去学习。
Certainly I'll never be able to put myself in the situation that people growing up in the less developed countries are in. I've gotten a bit of a sense of it by being out there and meeting people and talking with them.
当然,我永远无法把自己置身于在欠发达国家长大的人所处的境地。我已经有了一些感觉,因为我走到外面,和人们见面,和他们交谈。
For myself, for a long time... maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn't worth hearing, and I think everyone's voice is worth hearing. So if you've got something to say, say it from the rooftops.
对于我自己,在很长一段时间里……也许我觉得自己不真实,我觉得我的声音不值得听,我觉得每个人的声音都值得听。所以如果你有什么要说的,站在屋顶上说。
It was very important that it be done in such a way that it be executed with complete conviction. If I had done it both ways, if I was trying to cover myself in case it didn't work, then it would have been to no purpose.
非常重要的是,必须以一种完全有信念的方式执行这项任务。如果我用两种方法都做了,如果我试图保护自己以防失败,那就没有任何意义了。
I probably visualize myself, the shots I'm going to get in the game, how I'm going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team's best player, what it's going to take out of me, the whole aspect of the game.
我可能会想象自己,我将在比赛中得到的投篮,我将如何防守,我们必须做什么来阻止对方最好的球员,这将从我身上带走什么,整个比赛的方方面面。
Yes, and I had pimples so badly it used to make me so shy. I used not to look at myself. I'd hide my face in the dark, I wouldn't want to look in the mirror and my father teased me and I just hated it and I cried everyday.
是的,我长了很多青春痘,这让我很害羞。我以前不看自己。我把脸藏在黑暗中,我不想照镜子,我父亲嘲笑我,我讨厌这样,我每天都哭。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
When I first see the dailies, I look only at myself, but then you start to see the scene.
当我第一次看到日报时,我只看我自己,然后你开始看到场景。
I am the author of my life. Unfortunately I'm writing in pen and I can't erase my mistakes.
我是我生命的作者。不幸的是,我用钢笔写,我不能抹去我的错误。
At this stage of my life, I've dedicated myself to playing what I want to play, how I want to play it for the rest of my time. Regardless of whether one might like it or one might not like it, this is where I am.
在我人生的这个阶段,我全身心地投入到演奏我想演奏的东西,以及我想用怎样的方式演奏我的余生。不管你喜不喜欢,这就是我的处境。
When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that's a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that's the thrill in fashion.
当我把各种表情组合在一起的时候,我敢让自己做点什么。我总是在寻找最有趣的剪影,或者一些不太对劲的东西,但我必须弄清楚。我必须让它成为我自己。我认为这就是时尚的魅力所在。
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。
All novels are about crime. You'd be hard pressed to find any novel that does not have an element of crime. I don't see myself as a crime novelist, but there are crimes in my books. That's the nature of storytelling, if you want to reflect the real world.
所有的小说都是关于犯罪的。你很难找到没有犯罪元素的小说。我不认为自己是犯罪小说家,但我的书中也有犯罪。如果你想反映真实世界,这就是讲故事的本质。
