A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
坏
Bad
I'm not a bad driver. And I never will be because I took lessons when I was quite a boy. I never had to pass a test because there wasn't such a thing when I first started driving a motor car. So I didn't have to pass one.
我开车不差。我永远也不会,因为我小时候上过课。我从来不用通过考试,因为当我第一次开始驾驶汽车的时候还没有这样的东西。所以我不用通过。
There has been so much recent talk of progress in the areas of curriculum innovation and textbook revision that few people outside the field of teaching understand how bad most of our elementary school materials still are.
最近关于课程改革和教科书修订方面取得进展的讨论如此之多,以致于教学领域以外的人很少了解我们大多数小学教材仍然有多差。
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.
每天读一些别人没有读过的东西。每天思考一些别人没有思考过的事情。每天做一些别人都不会傻到去做的事情。头脑持续地成为一致意见的一部分是有害的。
That didn't happen. Still, I had six pretty good years and one where I didn't reach what I wanted for myself or the club. I don't accept that makes you a bad manager or a poor coach. If that is the view I strongly disagree with it.
这并没有发生。尽管如此,我有六年的时间过得相当不错,其中有一年我没有达到自己或俱乐部的目标。我不认为这会让你成为一个糟糕的教练。如果这是一种观点,我强烈反对。
You know how it is with writing. You just write what you want to write. There's no way to predict what is good or bad. You just do what you think is funny, and either it works or you're finished. It's impossible to predict anything.
你知道写作是怎么一回事。你想写什么就写什么。没有办法预测什么是好,什么是坏。你只要做你认为有趣的事,要么成功,要么完蛋。什么都不可能预测。
I like pressure. Pressure doesn't make me crack. It's enabling. I eat pressure, and there might be times when I get a bad feeling in my gut that this might be too much, but you feel pressure when you're not doing something, you know?
我喜欢压力。压力不会让我崩溃。启用。我吃的是有压力的食物,有时候我的肚子里会有一种不好的感觉,这可能太多了,但是当你不做事的时候,你会感到压力,你知道吗?
It's really hard when people write nasty things about you all the time. As much as good things are said about you, it's always those one or two bad comments that really stay with you and gnaw at you. I try not to read that stuff if I can.
当人们总是写你的坏话时,真的很难。尽管别人说你的好话,但真正让你耿耿于怀、咬牙切齿的总是那一两句坏话。我尽量不去读那些东西。
Sometimes it just doesn't translate to people. You just move on, and you feel bad because people worked so hard on it and everyone loved it... Everybody was treated so well and was going for something and trying to do the best work possible.
有时候,它就是无法传达给人们。你只是往前走,你会感觉很糟糕,因为大家都很努力,每个人都喜欢它……每个人都得到了很好的待遇,他们都在追求自己的目标,努力把工作做到最好。
I had a very bad time with acid. I did that classic thing of looking in the mirror by mistake and seeing the devil. But I took it several times, because you always think that next time you might have the wonderful time that everyone else is having.
我和迷幻药相处得很不好。我犯了个经典的错误,照镜子时看到了魔鬼。但是我花了几次时间,因为你总是认为下次你可能会拥有其他人都拥有的美好时光。
I understand that computers, which I once believed to be but a hermaphrodite typewriter-cum-filing cabinet, offer the cyber literate increased ability to communicate. I do not think this is altogether a bad thing, however it may appear on the surface.
我明白,我曾经认为电脑不过是一台雌雄同体的打字机兼文件柜,但它为懂网络的人提供了更强的沟通能力。我不认为这完全是一件坏事,不管表面上看起来如何。
You couldn't pay me enough to be a law enforcement officer. Their job is a tough job. You have to solve people's problems, you have to baby-sit people, you have to always be doing this cat-and-mouse game with the bad guys. My respect for them is immense.
你付不出足够的钱让我当执法人员。他们的工作很难。你必须解决人们的问题,你必须照顾他们,你必须总是和坏人玩猫捉老鼠的游戏。我非常尊重他们。
I've been very lucky, from the beginning. I've found that as long as you're fundamentally good - as long as you're not being bad to people - people give you a lot of room to be yourself, because being yourself is being honest. And that's what people want to see.
从一开始我就很幸运。我发现,只要你本质上是善良的——只要你对别人不坏——人们就会给你很多做自己的空间,因为做自己就是诚实。这就是人们想看到的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

If bad decorating was a hanging offense, there'd be bodies hanging from every tree!
如果糟糕的装饰是一种悬挂的冒犯,那么每棵树上都会挂着尸体!
You have good days, you have bad days. But the main thing is to grow mentally.
你有好日子,也有坏日子。但最重要的是精神上的成长。
I tend to not only read reviews, but also every little stupid thing online. It's a very bad idea, and there's a lot of angry people in the world. And it's weird to absorb all that weirdness.
我不仅喜欢看评论,还喜欢在网上看每一件傻事。这是一个非常糟糕的主意,世界上有很多愤怒的人。吸收所有这些奇怪的东西是很奇怪的。
I was a very bad journalist. Awful. I would just invent everything. If I did an interview, I had a preconception of what that person should say and I would put my words in his mouth.
我是个很糟糕的记者。糟透了。我会发明一切。如果我做一个采访,我对那个人应该说什么有一个先入之见,我会把我的话放进他的嘴里。
