A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
没有什么
Nothing
If you spend a whole afternoon just eating popcorn and watching football, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But if that's all you do, you get swept along with the tide, without any idea of where you're going.
如果你整个下午只吃爆米花和看足球,这绝对没有什么错。但如果你只做这些,你就会随波逐流,不知道自己要去哪里。
Nothing. We're all friends and friendly. So when the cameras go down, depending on the mood or the nature of the material we're dealing with, there's usually a kind of a prevailing light attitude that's floating around.
什么。我们都是朋友,很友好。所以,当摄像机下降时,根据我们处理的材料的情绪或性质,通常会有一种流行的光的态度在周围漂浮。
Every time I've talked about my family in the past, people have ended up getting upset. So I said to my friends and family: 'I shan't refer to you at all, and there's nothing for you to get upset about. There's the deal.'
每次我谈到我过去的家庭,人们最后都变得心烦意乱。所以我对我的朋友和家人说:‘我根本不会提到你,你也没有什么可烦恼的。这笔交易。”
I don't know what I want to do. There are people who want me to do things. There's a possible book. There are lots of things to consider. I just have to figure out what I want to do. I'm not one to sit around and do nothing.
我不知道我想做什么。有些人想让我做事。可能有一本书。有很多事情需要考虑。我只是想知道我想做什么。我不是那种无所事事的人。
On recovering my senses, I hastened to quit a place where I hoped there was nothing further to detain me. I first filled my pockets with gold, then fastened the strings of the purse round my neck, and concealed it in my bosom.
我一恢复了知觉,就急忙离开了一个地方,我希望那里不会再有什么事耽搁我了。我先在口袋里装满了金子,然后把钱袋的线系在脖子上,藏在胸前。
If my grandchildren were to look at me and say, 'You were aware species were disappearing and you did nothing, you said nothing', that I think is culpable. I don't know how much more they expect me to be doing, I'd better ask them.
如果我的孙辈看着我说,‘你知道物种正在消失,但你什么也没做,什么也没说’,我认为这是有罪的。我不知道他们还要我做多少,我最好问问他们。
I think you just assume that your memory is just sort of a video playback of your experience, but it's nothing like that at all. It's a complete refabrication of an event and a lot of it is made up, because you're filling in spaces.
我认为你只是假设你的记忆只是你经历的视频回放,但它根本不是那样的。这是一个事件的完全重构,很多都是虚构的,因为你在填充空间。
If nothing is to be done in the given situation, he must invent plausible reasons for doing nothing; and if something must be done, he must suggest the something. The unpardonable sin is to propose nothing, when action is imperative.
如果在给定的情况下什么也不做,他必须为什么也不做编造合理的理由;如果必须采取措施,他必须提出建议。当行动是必须的时候,什么也不提是不可饶恕的罪。
I think it is probably more important to attend specialized conventions for a journeyman writer than any other, but it's useful at all stages of a career, if for nothing else, to find out how the industry is working at any given time.
我认为,对于一个经验丰富的作家来说,参加专业会议可能比参加其他任何会议都更重要,但它在职业生涯的各个阶段都很有用,如果没有其他目的,那就是了解这个行业在任何特定时间是如何运作的。
I think early on I knew what I was going to do and it was based a lot on familiarity but it was also because I didn't have a lot of skills. There was nothing I wanted t be. I didn't want to be a doctor. I wanted to be in show business.
我想我很早就知道我要做什么了,这很大程度上是建立在熟悉的基础上的,但也因为我没有很多技能。没有什么是我不想成为的。我不想当医生。我想从事演艺事业。
It really comes down to Mick. He's the one who was constantly trying to get these five people in one room together. This is his love, his baby. It's his band, and there's nothing more he loves to do than get up on stage and play with us.
这完全取决于米克。是他一直想把这五个人聚在一个房间里。这是他的爱,他的孩子。这是他的乐队,他最喜欢做的就是上台和我们一起演奏。
I think the challenge is going out in front of a paying audience with absolutely nothing and trying to entertain them for two hours. Thankfully, I only think about that right before we go on, and then once we're out there, everything's fine.
我认为挑战在于,在付费观众面前,什么都不做,却想让他们开心两个小时。谢天谢地,我只是在我们继续之前才想到这个,然后一旦我们到了那里,一切就都好了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
There is nothing inevitable about crime and there is nothing inevitable about anti-social behaviour.
犯罪没有什么是不可避免的,反社会行为也没有什么是不可避免的。
You say it best, when you say nothing at all.
当你什么都不说的时候,你说得最好。
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away, If he doesn't, nothing can make him stay.
如果一个男人想要你,没有什么能阻止他,如果他不想,也没有什么能让他留下。
A building or a town will only be alive to the extent that it is governed in a timeless way. It is a process which brings order out of nothing but ourselves; it cannot be attained, but it will happen of its own accord, if we will only let it.
一座建筑或一座城镇只有在以一种永恒的方式管理时才会存在。这是一个从我们自己身上产生秩序的过程;这是不可能实现的,但它会自动发生,如果我们只让它。
I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
我宁愿尝试做一些伟大而失败的事情,也不愿尝试什么都不做而成功。
Nothing happens until something moves.
什么都不会发生,直到有东西移动。
