A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
我们自己
Ourselves
We march and fight, to death or on to victory. Our might is right, no traitors shall prevail. Our hearts are steeled against the fiery gates of hell. No shot or shell, can still our mighty song.
我们前进,我们战斗,我们走向死亡,我们走向胜利。我们的力量是正确的,任何叛徒都不能获胜。我们的心被炼狱的烈火之门所磨砺。没有炮弹,也没有炮弹,还能奏出我们雄壮的歌。
Just as we outgrow a pair of trousers, we outgrow acquaintances, libraries, principles, etc., at times before they're worn out and times - and this is the worst of all - before we have new ones.
就像我们长大后不再穿裤子一样,我们也不再穿熟人、图书馆、原则等等,有时裤子还没穿坏,有时——这是最糟糕的——还没有新裤子。
We should conceive of ourselves not as rulers of Earth, but as highly powerful, conscious stewards: The Earth is given to us in trust, and we can screw it up or make it work well and sustainably.
我们不应该把自己想象成地球的统治者,而应该想象成高度强大、有意识的管家:地球是托付给我们的,我们可以把它搞砸,或者让它运转良好、可持续。
White Man, let us stand together to secure the survival of your people and my people, for they are one and the same - they are our beloved, miraculous, wonderful, blessed and masterful white race!
白人,让我们站在一起,确保你们的人民和我的人民的生存,因为他们是一体的——他们是我们敬爱的、不可思议的、奇妙的、受祝福的、专横的白人!
Since this war began our sympathy has gone out to all the suffering people who have been dragged into it. Further hundreds of millions have become involved since I spoke at Limerick fortnight ago.
自从这场战争开始以来,我们同情所有被卷入战争的苦难人民。自两周前我在利默里克发表演讲以来,又有数亿人参与其中。
To be content with life or to live merrily, rather all that is required is that we bestow on all things only a fleeting, superficial glance; the more thoughtful we become the more earnest we grow.
满足于生活或快乐地生活,我们所需要的只是给所有的东西一个短暂的,肤浅的一瞥;我们思考得越多,成长得就越认真。
We sat around and I fed them barbecue and whiskey. And pretty soon everyone started to compete with each other on the guitars. It seemed the more everyone drank and ate, the more everyone got into it.
我们围坐在一起,我喂他们烧烤和威士忌。很快,每个人都开始在吉他上互相竞争。似乎每个人喝得越多,吃得越多,就越沉迷其中。
The task which we have set ourselves is simply to show why and for what purpose we hold that standpoint during most of our lives, and why and for what purpose we are provisionally obliged to abandon it.
我们给自己规定的任务仅仅是表明我们为什么和为了什么而在生活的大部分时间里坚持这一立场,以及我们为什么和为了什么而暂时不得不放弃这一立场。
Not only does travel give us a new system of reckoning, it also brings to the fore unknown aspects of our own self. Our consciousness being broadened and enriched, we shall judge ourselves more correctly.
旅行不仅给我们提供了一个新的计算系统,它还把我们自己未知的方面带到前台。随着我们意识的开阔和丰富,我们会更正确地判断自己。
Our enemies are our evil deeds and their memories, our pride, our selfishness, our malice, our passions, which by conscience or by habit pursue us with a relentlessness past the power of figure to express.
我们的敌人是我们的恶行和他们的记忆、我们的骄傲、我们的自私、我们的恶意、我们的激情,这些都是我们的良知或习惯无情地追逐着我们,无情地超越了形象所能表达的力量。
We had been working. We had a bunch of songs written and it came time to make the record, so we had our lawyer make the call to Elektra and ask for our advance. Then, we got dropped. It was actually exciting.
我们一直在工作。我们写了很多歌,是时候录制唱片了,所以我们让律师打电话给艾丽卡,要求预付我们的钱。然后,我们被抛弃了。这真的很令人兴奋。
We went out for six weeks a year. We first started in Mexico and we did that for so many years that we finally said we've got to explore and start going globally. And then we started going all over the world.
我们一年出去六个星期。我们首先从墨西哥开始,做了这么多年,最后我们说我们必须探索并开始走向全球。然后我们开始环游世界。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Let us read with method, and propose to ourselves an end to which our studies may point. The use of reading is to aid us in thinking.
让我们有方法地读书,并为自己提出一个研究的目标。阅读的作用是帮助我们思考。
We don't pretend to disagree.
我们不会假装不同意。
Man is a fire-stealing animal, and we can't help building machines and machine intelligences, even if, from time to time, we use them not only to outsmart ourselves but to bring us right up to the doorstep of Doom.
人类是一种偷火的动物,我们无法不去制造机器和机器智能,即使我们时不时地使用它们,不仅是为了比自己更聪明,而且是为了把我们带到末日的门口。
We understand God by everything in ourselves that is fragmentary, incomplete, and inopportune.
我们藉著自己身上一切残缺的、不完全的、不合时宜的,来认识神。
We are born to Exist, not to know, to be, not to assert ourselves.
我们生来就是为了生存,而不是为了了解、存在,也不是为了维护自己。
What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are.
我们在工作时间做什么决定了我们拥有什么;我们在闲暇时间做什么决定了我们是谁。
