A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
老
Old
But in the old days, visual artists used to fall into two distinct categories: those of us who created images with cameras and those of us who applied stuff onto other stuff, with brushes or other tools.
但在过去，视觉艺术家通常分为两类:一类是用相机创作图像的人，另一类是用画笔或其他工具把东西涂到其他东西上的人。
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
正如我赞同一个年轻人身上有一点老人的气质一样，我对一个老人身上有一点年轻人的气质也同样感到高兴。遵守这条规则的人，身体可能会变老，但思想永远不会变老。
The old sergeant from headquarters treats me like a son and takes the greatest pride in whatever I do or write. He regularly assigns me now to certain doors, and I always obey orders like the little gentleman that I am.
总部的老军士把我当儿子看待，对我所做的和所写的一切都感到无比自豪。他现在经常派我到某些地方去，我总是像我这样的小绅士一样服从命令。
I do remember, though, when I discovered the third! I was about five years old - it was a very pleasing sound. I remembered that if I hit one note, then skipped one and played the next, I could get this really good sound.
但我确实记得，当我发现第三个的时候!那时我大约五岁——那是一种非常悦耳的声音。我记得如果我敲一个音符，然后跳过一个，然后弹下一个，我就能得到这个非常好的声音。
When I hear that I realize how quickly time passes and how everybody goes on their journeys and they're always unbelievable and they never go where you think they're going to take you and, quite frankly, it also makes me feel a little old.
当我听到这个消息时，我意识到时间过得真快，每个人都在自己的旅途中，他们总是令人难以置信，他们从不去你认为他们会带你去的地方，坦白地说，这也让我觉得自己有点老了。
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 read numerous books - loads in fact - and, as I always do when recording a historical project, immersed myself into the subject matter. I spent many hours at Henry's old homes, such as Hampton Court, and visiting the Tower of London. I read no other books during that period.
我读了很多书——事实上是大量的书——而且，就像我在记录一个历史项目时经常做的那样，我把自己沉浸在主题中。我花了很多时间在亨利的故居，如汉普顿宫，参观伦敦塔。在那期间我没有读其他的书。
I hate flatscreens. I don't want to see anything in that much pixilation. I don't need to see the pimple on someone's face. I love the world through glass. The more old, dusty and tainted that glass is, the prettier and more impressionistic that is to me. I don't need to see everything perfectly. I don't like it.
我讨厌平板电视。我不想看到那么多像素。我不需要看到别人脸上的痘痘。我爱透过玻璃的世界。那块玻璃越旧，灰尘越多，越脏，对我来说就越漂亮，越有印象。我不需要把每件事都看得很清楚。我不喜欢它。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.
一个舒适的晚年是一个度过美好青春的奖赏。它不会给我们带来衰败的凄凉前景，而会给我们带来在更美好的世界里永葆青春的希望。
We've put more effort into helping folks reach old age than into helping them enjoy it.
我们把更多的精力放在帮助人们进入老年，而不是帮助他们享受老年生活。
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
年老时的忠告是愚蠢的;因为，有什么比我们越接近旅程的终点，就为道路增加给养更荒唐的事呢?
Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
老柴最好烧，老酒最好喝，老朋友最好信赖，老作家最好读书。
I'm too old to be farting around with stuff that isn't precisely what I want to do.
我太老了，不能在那些不是我真正想做的事情上浪费时间。
No man is ever old enough to know better.
再老的人也不会懂得更多。
