A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
个人
Myself
Being an actor myself I realize that all actors believe they are qualified to play any role. If you showed me a script with a black woman character I would tell you that I could do it. That is what we do. We act as if we are someone else.
作为一名演员,我意识到所有的演员都认为自己有资格扮演任何角色。如果你给我看一个有黑人女性角色的剧本,我会告诉你我能做到。这就是我们所做的。我们表现得好像我们是另一个人。
You dream about the Olympics for so long and you have that one day, then it's over, and when you don't run well there is this huge letdown. It took me years to deal with that. I feel like I almost had to cleanse myself of that experience.
你梦想奥运会这么长时间,你有那么一天,然后它结束了,当你跑得不好,这是一个巨大的失望。我花了几年的时间来处理这个问题。我觉得我几乎要净化自己的经历。
I put myself in the place of the listener when editing my writing. The last thing that I want to do is be preached at and told who to be or what to think when listening to an artist. However, I do want to be inspired. There's a fine line.
当我编辑我的文章时,我把自己放在听众的位置上。我最不愿意做的事情就是被灌输给一个艺术家,告诉他应该成为什么样的人,或者在聆听艺术家的作品时该怎么想。然而,我确实想要得到启发。这是有界限的。
I've been to a number of places and seen for myself the caliber of people who are in the Navy today - in all the services for that matter. This is an altogether different bunch. These people of today are really bright, young, good people.
我去过很多地方,亲眼目睹了今天在海军服役的人的能力——在所有的服务领域。这是完全不同的一群。今天的这些人非常聪明、年轻、善良。
I could have made money this way, and perhaps amused myself writing code. But I knew that at the end of my career, I would look back on years of building walls to divide people, and feel I had spent my life making the world a worse place.
我本可以用这种方式赚钱,或许还可以自娱自乐地编写代码。但我知道,在我的职业生涯结束时,当我回首多年来筑起隔离人们的高墙时,我会觉得我的一生让世界变得更糟。
You know I need that cockiness, the self-belief, arrogance, swagger, whatever you want to call it, I need that on the golf course to bring the best out of myself. So you know once I leave the golf course, you know that all gets left there.
你知道我需要那种自大,自信,自大,狂妄,不管你怎么说,我需要在高尔夫球场上表现出最好的自己。所以你知道,一旦我离开高尔夫球场,你知道所有的东西都被留在那里。
After a prosperous, but to me very wearisome, voyage, we came at last into port. Immediately on landing I got together my few effects; and, squeezing myself through the crowd, went into the nearest and humblest inn which first met my gaze.
我们经过了一次很顺利但又使我很厌烦的航行,终于进了港。一上岸,我就把仅有的几件东西收拾好;我挤过人群,走进最近的一家客店,这是我第一次看到这家客店。
When I'm writing, I'm trying to immerse myself in the chaos of an emotional experience, rather than separate myself from it and look back at it from a distance with clarity and tell it as a story. Because that's how life is lived, you know?
当我写作的时候,我试着让自己沉浸在一种情感体验的混乱中,而不是把自己和它分离开来,从远处清晰地回顾它,把它当作一个故事来讲述。因为这就是生活,你知道吗?
I have a problem with cabinets being messy and people just shoving things in and closing the door. I will lie in bed and not be able to sleep because I'll say to myself: 'I think I saw something in that cabinet that just shouldn't be there.'
我有一个问题,橱柜很乱,人们只是把东西塞进去,然后把门关上。我会躺在床上睡不着,因为我会对自己说:‘我想我在那个柜子里看到了不该在那里的东西。’
I look out of this window and I think this is a cosmos, this is a huge creation, this is one small corner of it. The trees and birds and everything else and I'm part of it. I didn't ask to be put here, I've been lucky in finding myself here.
我看着窗外,我想这是一个宇宙,这是一个巨大的创造,这是它的一个小角落。树、鸟和其他一切,我都是其中的一部分。我没有要求被放在这里,我很幸运地发现自己在这里。
I love out-of-the-way, rugged places. For me, holidays are about the experiences, and the people, and the memories, rather than sitting on a nice beach getting tanned. I try to plant myself where I am and embrace what is there in front of me.
我喜欢偏僻崎岖的地方。对我来说,假期是关于经历、人和回忆的,而不是坐在美丽的沙滩上晒黑。我试着把自己安置在我所处的位置,拥抱我面前的一切。
Sometimes I have a tough time getting along with myself. When I was a child, I needed a lot of attention... and I don't have a small ego. For me, appearing on a stage or presenting a cake is the same thing. You need a crowd around you to do it.
有时候我很难和自己相处。当我还是个孩子的时候,我需要很多的关注……我可不是小我。对我来说,出现在舞台上或展示蛋糕是一回事。你需要一群人围在你身边来做这件事。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I don't flatter myself - I'm not a scientist, I'm not a conservation expert.
我不会自鸣得意——我不是科学家,也不是保护专家。
I see myself as a citizen of the planet. Even as a child, I always found it mindless to root for your own team. I was puzzled by the fact that people said their own team was better than other teams simply because it was theirs.
我把自己看作是这个星球的公民。甚至当我还是个孩子的时候,我就发现为自己的团队加油是愚蠢的。人们说他们自己的球队比其他球队好,只是因为这是他们的球队,这让我很困惑。
I keep myself busy with the things i do. But everytime i pause, i still think of you.
我让自己忙于我所做的事情。但每次我停下来,我还是会想起你。
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。
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。
I am an enthusiast, but not a crank in the sense that I have some pet theories as to the proper construction of a flying machine. I wish to avail myself of all that is already known and then, if possible, add my mite to help on the future worker who will attain final success.
我是一个狂热的爱好者,但并不是一个怪人,因为我有一些关于如何正确建造飞行器的理论。我希望利用我自己已经知道的一切,然后,如果可能的话,加上我的一点,以帮助未来的工人谁将获得最终的成功。
