A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
回来
Back
Part of what we love about poetry is the fact that it seems ancient, that it has an authority of ancient language and ancient form, and that it's timeless, that it reaches back.
我们喜欢诗歌的部分原因是它看起来很古老，它有古语言和古形式的权威，它是永恒的，它可以追溯到古代。
I look back on my liberal political beliefs with a sort of wonder - as another exercise in self-involvement - rewarding myself for some superiority I could not logically describe.
回顾我的自由主义政治信仰时，我有一种奇怪的感觉——这是另一种自我参与的方式——因为某种我无法从逻辑上描述的优越感而奖励自己。
My acting ability would have sent me back to the post office. It was my singing that got me jobs. Ironically, now, people think of me as an actor and don't know me much as a singer.
我的演技会把我送回邮局的。是我的歌声让我找到了工作。讽刺的是，现在，人们认为我是一个演员，而不知道我是一个歌手。
There is a point at which everything becomes simple and there is no longer any question of choice, because all you have staked will be lost if you look back. Life's point of no return.
在某一时刻，一切都变得简单，不再有任何选择的问题，因为如果你回头看，你所押下的赌注将全部丢失。人生没有回头路。
They give me the money, I give them the book. Having input into the adaptation would be kind of like selling a house and coming back three years later and saying, 'Paint it this color!'
他们给我钱，我给他们书。在改编过程中投入资金，就像卖掉一栋房子，三年后回来说，‘把它漆成这个颜色!’
In a still hot morning, the tide went out and didn't come back in. This was not a spectacular event. The sea did not roll up like a scroll, like the sky in Revelations. It quietly withdrew.
在一个依然炎热的早晨，潮水退去，再也没有回来。这不是一个壮观的事件。海不像书卷，也不像启示中的天空那样卷起。它悄然退出。
The myths have always condemned those who "looked back." Condemned them, whatever the paradise may have been which they were leaving. Hence this shadow over each departure from your decision.
神话总是谴责那些“回头看”的人。无论他们离开的天堂是什么，都要谴责他们。因此，每一次背离你的决定，都会蒙上这层阴影。
I think maybe one day I'll go back to music. I don't know. I don't know if sometimes you lose a passion or you don't lose it, it becomes more personal and less about sharing it with everyone.
我想也许有一天我会回到音乐。我不知道。我不知道有时候你是否失去了激情，或者你没有失去激情，它变得更加个人化，而不是和每个人分享。
I looked back at some of my earlier published stories with genuine horror and remorse. I got thinking, How many extant copies might there be, who owns them, and do they keep their doors locked?
我带着真实的恐惧和悔恨回顾我早期发表的一些故事。我开始思考，现存的副本可能有多少，谁拥有它们，它们的门锁上了吗?
On the other hand, the artist has much to do in the realm of color construction, which is so little explored and so obscure, and hardly dates back any farther than to the beginning of Impressionism.
另一方面，艺术家在色彩结构领域有很多工作要做，这是如此少的探索，如此模糊，几乎可以追溯到印象派的开始。
I wouldn't go back on my old days, though; everybody needs to have their wild years. It's just a question of when and I'd rather have had them early than be doing it as a mid-life crisis type thing.
不过，我不会回到过去;每个人都需要狂野的岁月。这只是一个时间的问题，我宁愿早点吃，也不愿把它当作中年危机一类的事情来做。
She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.
她是心灵的朋友。她把我召集起来。我是碎片，她把它们收集起来，按正确的顺序还给我。有个女人是你心灵的朋友，这很好。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
If any player has a bad game it's there in the back of your mind in the next game. There's always a hangover. It is like a wounded animal in a way, as you want to get out there as quick as possible and rectify it.
如果任何一个球员有一场糟糕的比赛，在下一场比赛中它就在你的脑海中。总会有宿醉。在某种程度上，它就像一只受伤的动物，因为你想尽快离开那里，纠正它。
I've very proud to be mayor of our great city. It's a city with a heart and a soul. Chicago has a unique spirit. Our business community wants to give back.
我非常自豪能成为我们伟大城市的市长。这是一座有心灵和灵魂的城市。芝加哥有一种独特的精神。我们的商界想要回馈社会。
I want to be back every year. If I don't go, I want it to be because someone else just was having a great season. I want it to at least be a close call.
我想每年都回来。如果我不去，我希望是因为其他人刚刚有一个伟大的赛季。我希望这至少是一次千钧一发的机会。
The great function of poetry is to give back to us the situations of our dreams.
诗歌的伟大功能是把我们梦中的情景还给我们。
It is true that the poet does not directly address his neighbors; but he does address a great congress of persons who dwell at the back of his mind, a congress of all those who have taught him and whom he has admired; they constitute his ideal audience and his better self.
诚然，诗人并不直接对他的邻居说话;但是，他确实是在一个伟大的大会上发表演说，这个大会的成员都住在他的思想深处，这个大会的成员都是那些曾经教过他，他也曾钦佩过他的人;他们构成了他理想的听众和更好的自己。
I learned so many roles so quickly as a young singer, I thought it was time to come back to them and make them better - deeper, more nuanced.
作为一个年轻的歌手，我很快就学会了很多角色，我认为是时候回到他们身边，让他们变得更好——更深刻、更细致。
