A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
乐观
Optimism
Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
胜利不是一时的事;这是一个全天候的事情。你不会偶尔获胜,你不会偶尔把事情做对,你会一直把事情做好。胜利是习惯。不幸的是,失败也是如此。
When I have been unhappy, I have heard an opera... and it seemed the shrieking of winds; when I am happy, a sparrow's chirp is delicious to me. But it is not the chirp that makes me happy, but I that make it sweet.
当我不开心的时候,我听到了一场歌剧……那仿佛是风的尖叫;当我快乐的时候,麻雀的啁啾对我来说是美味的。但使我快乐的不是啁啾,而是我使它甜蜜。
Optimism is not inherently a superior way of viewing the world. Certainly doctors will say it might be better for one's physical health to be an optimist. But, morally speaking it may not be appropriate in certain circumstances.
乐观主义本质上并不是一种优越的世界观。当然,医生会说,对一个人的身体健康来说,做一个乐观主义者可能更好。但是,从道德上讲,它在某些情况下可能并不合适。
What helps luck is a habit of watching for opportunities, of having a patient but restless mind, of sacrificing one's ease or vanity, of uniting a love of detail to foresight, and of passing through hard times bravely and cheerfully.
帮助运气的是一种寻找机会的习惯,一种耐心而不安分的心态,一种牺牲安逸或虚荣心的习惯,一种把对细节的热爱与远见结合起来的习惯,一种勇敢而快乐地度过艰难时刻的习惯。
There is only one optimist. He has been here since man has been on this earth, and that is man himself. If we hadn't had such a magnificent optimism to carry us through all these things, we wouldn't be here. We have survived it on our optimism.
只有一个乐观主义者。自从人类来到这个世界上,他就一直在这里,那就是人类自己。如果我们没有如此乐观的心态来度过这一切,我们就不会在这里。我们靠乐观度过了难关。
A pessimist is a person who is always right but doesn't get any enjoyment out of it, while an optimist, is one who imagines that the future is uncertain. It is a duty to be an optimist, because if you imagine that the future is uncertain, then you mu.
悲观主义者总是对的,却不能从中得到任何快乐;乐观主义者则认为未来是不确定的。做一个乐观主义者是一种责任,因为如果你认为未来是不确定的,那么你就错了。
With optimism, you look upon the sunny side of things. People say, 'Studs, you're an optimist.' I never said I was an optimist. I have hope because what's the alternative to hope? Despair? If you have despair, you might as well put your head in the oven.
乐观地看待事物的光明面。人们说,斯图兹,你是个乐观主义者。我从来没有说过我是个乐观主义者。我有希望,因为除了希望还有什么选择?绝望吗?如果你感到绝望,你不妨把你的头放进烤箱里。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
永远的乐观是力量的倍增器。
If we see the light at the end of the tunnel, It’s the light of the oncoming train.
如果我们看到隧道尽头的灯光,那就是迎面而来的列车的灯光。
A fruit-bearing tree is known by its flowers.
结果实的树,看花而知。
The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose.
乐观主义者看到的是玫瑰,而不是它的刺;悲观主义者盯着荆棘,没有注意到玫瑰。
You're never a loser until you quit trying.
除非你放弃尝试,否则你永远不会是个失败者。
