A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

从来没有

Never

A child too, can never grasp the fact that the same mother who cooks so well, is so concerned about his cough, and helps so kindly with his homework, in some circumstance has no more feeling than a wall of his hidden inner world.

一个孩子也永远无法理解这样一个事实:同样是这位母亲,她做饭做得那么好,那么关心他的咳嗽,那么慈祥地帮助他做作业,在某些情况下,她对他的感情不过是隐藏在他内心世界的一堵墙。

I conclude, therefore, that this star is not some kind of comet or a fiery meteor... but that it is a star shining in the firmament itself one that has never previously been seen before our time, in any age since the beginning of the world.

因此,我的结论是,这颗恒星不是某种彗星或炽热的流星……而是一颗在天空中闪耀的星星,在我们这个时代之前,在世界诞生以来的任何时代,从来没有人见过它。

So people think I'm lying about my age all the time? It's the records that are wrong. I've never told anyone how old I am. The minute they ask me, I say 'That's none of your business.' So that means I've never once lied about my age. Now that's true!

所以人们认为我一直在谎报年龄?是记录错了。我从来没有告诉过任何人我有多大。他们一问我,我就说:‘这不关你的事。所以这意味着我从来没有谎报过自己的年龄。现在这是真的!

I'll never forget one morning I walked in and I had a hell of a bruise - it had been a difficult night the night before - and a client said to me, 'Good God, Vidal, what happened to your face?' And I said, 'Oh, nothing, madam, I just fell over a hairpin.'

我永远不会忘记,有一天早上,我走进去时,身上青肿得很厉害——头天晚上很难受——一个客户对我说,‘天哪,维达尔,你的脸怎么了?我说,“哦,没什么,夫人,我只是被一个发夹绊倒了。”

I can make things, but I don't cook them, exactly. Like salmon, I can stick that in a pan. Or the other day I made noodles, but they were hard. It never occurred to me to check them; I just stopped cooking them when I felt they were ready. Really, I'm too absentminded.

我能做东西,但我不会做。比如三文鱼,我可以把它放在锅里。前几天我做了面条,但是面条很硬。我从来没有想过要检查它们;当我觉得它们准备好了的时候,我就不再做了。真的,我太心不在焉了。
