A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
对立
Opposites
Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.
每一刻的光明与黑暗都是一个奇迹。
And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on.
而信仰的态度则与执着于信仰、执着于坚持恰恰相反。
Opposites may attract, but I wouldn't put my money on a relationship of financial opposites.
性格相对的人可能会互相吸引,但我不会把钱花在经济上相对的人身上。
The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.
正确陈述的反面是错误陈述。但是一个深刻的真理的反面很可能是另一个深刻的真理。
Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.
好的作家定义现实;坏的只是重述它。一个好的作家能把事实变成真理;一个糟糕的作家往往会适得其反。
Economy, prudence, and a simple life are the sure masters of need, and will often accomplish that which, their opposites, with a fortune at hand, will fail to do.
节俭、谨慎和简朴的生活是需求的主宰,它们常常能完成与之相反的事情,而手头有一笔财富却做不到这一点。
Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?
每个人都投下阴影;不仅是他的身体,还有他那不完全融合的精神。这是他的悲伤。任凭他往哪个方向转,日头就向哪个方向落;中午短,晚上长。你没见过吗?
