A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
报纸
Newspaper
When you're given a newspaper column, you're not being paid to sit on a fence and scratch your chin and say 'On the one hand this' and 'On the other hand that.' You're getting paid for your opinion.
当你拿到一篇报纸专栏文章时，你并不是靠坐在栅栏上挠挠下巴，一边说“这个”，一边说“那个”来赚钱的。“你的意见是有报酬的。
When you're a kid, you see your parents reading the newspaper and you're like, 'God, why are they reading the newspaper?' When you're young, you're not reading the newspaper. But there comes a time in your life when the newspaper's cool.
当你还是个孩子的时候，你看到父母在看报纸，你会想，‘天哪，他们为什么要看报纸?“当你年轻的时候，你不会看报纸。但在你的生活中总会有那么一段时间报纸很酷。
Just about any story we think about doing, whether we've read it in a newspaper, heard it on the radio or come upon it through word of mouth - by the time you get there, every other network, cable station and talk show is already racing to the scene.
我们想要做的任何事情，无论是在报纸上读到的，在广播上听到的，还是通过口口相传得到的，当你到达那里的时候，其他所有的网络、有线电视台和脱口秀节目都已经在竞相报道了。
Local television is a slightly different story. It is under much more pressure in the same way that all local businesses are, whether that's a local newspaper, local radio or local television. But I think television in the aggregate is actually in very good shape.
地方电视台的情况略有不同。它承受的压力和所有当地企业一样大，无论是当地报纸、电台还是电视台。但我认为总的来说，电视的发展状况非常好。
Webster and I are very aloof. The two of us go and sit there by ourselves. I sit by myself in the corner with my book and the newspaper. He kind of runs around a little bit, and then he goes and sits on top of the picnic table. He never plays with other little dogs.
韦伯斯特和我都很冷漠。我们俩一个人去那儿坐着。我一个人坐在角落里，手里拿着书和报纸。他有点跑动，然后他走过去坐在野餐桌上。他从不和其他小狗玩耍。
Let's face it: Most of us don't realize it, but we are failing our kids as reading role models. The best role models are in the home: brothers, fathers, grandfathers; mothers, sisters, grandmothers. Moms and dads, it's important that your kids see you reading. Not just books - reading the newspaper is good, too.
让我们面对现实吧:我们大多数人都没有意识到这一点，但作为榜样，我们辜负了孩子们的期望。最好的榜样是在家里:兄弟、父亲、祖父;母亲,姐妹,祖母。爸爸妈妈们，让你们的孩子看到你们读书是很重要的。不仅仅是书——读报纸也很好。
To me, the newspaper business was a way to learn about life and how things worked in the real world and how people spoke. You learn all the skills - you learn to listen, you learn to take notes - everything you use later as a novelist was valuable training in the newspaper world. But I always wanted to write novels.
对我来说，报纸行业是一种了解生活的方式，了解现实世界中的事物以及人们如何说话。你学会了所有的技巧——你学会了倾听，你学会了记笔记——你以后作为小说家所使用的一切都是在报界得到的宝贵训练。但我一直想写小说。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
There are those who believe we have need of more literature, of a large international publishing house, of a great peace newspaper, or the like. I am rather skeptical about this idea.
有些人认为，我们需要更多的文学作品，需要一个大型国际出版社，需要一份伟大的和平报纸，诸如此类。我对这个想法持怀疑态度。
Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.
我早年就注意到报纸上从来没有正确报道过任何事件。
Homer is new this morning, and perhaps nothing is as old as today's newspaper.
荷马今天早上是新的，也许没有什么比今天的报纸更古老的了。
What appears in newspapers is often new but seldom true.
报纸上出现的往往是新的，但很少是真实的。
Accuracy to a newspaper is what virtue is to a lady; but a newspaper can always print a retraction.
准确之于报纸，犹如美德之于女士;但报纸总是可以刊登一份撤回声明。
A newspaper should be the maximum of information, and the minimum of comment.
报纸应该是信息量最大，评论最少的报纸。
