A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
我们自己
Ourselves
We were making new ones the second year. We were in syndication the second year. So we were on Saturday nights, prime time, every morning, and then they put it on Sunday evenings too. So it was all over the place.
第二年我们在做新的。第二年我们加入了银团。所以我们是在周六晚上,黄金时间,每天早上,然后他们把它也放在周日晚上。所以到处都是。
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。
The ability and desire to transform the mundane materials at hand that we both bring into the collaboration well beyond the sum total of the parts - to birth a new baby neither of us could claim single parentage of.
我们都有能力和愿望将手头的平凡材料转化为合作的一部分,这远远超出了所有部件的总和——生产一个我们都不能声称是单亲的新生儿。
We of the sinking middle class may sink without further struggles into the working class where we belong, and probably when we get there it will not be so dreadful as we feared, for, after all, we have nothing to lose.
我们这些正在下沉的中产阶级,也许无需进一步挣扎就能进入我们所属的工人阶级,或许当我们到达那里时,情况不会像我们担心的那么可怕,因为毕竟我们没有什么可失去的。
There are a lot of us little gypsies out there that need to go and find another place you know. A safer, healthier or just a different venue in order to develop and find ourselves. I am so lucky to live the life that I do.
我们很多吉普赛人需要去另一个地方,你知道的。一个更安全,更健康,或者只是一个不同的地方来发展和发现自己。我很幸运能过这样的生活。
Phrenology taught us that the mind thinks by means of the brain, is liable to become fatigued by too long attention, as the locomotive muscles are by too much walking; and I therefore proposed to them to take a brief rest.

Let us lose none of their humble words, let us note their slightest gestures, and tell me, tell me that we will think of them together, now and later, when we realise the misery of the times and the magnitude of their sacrifice.

Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will be in our troubled world.

Everyone is an ocean inside. Every individual walking the street. Everyone is a universe of thoughts, and insights, and feelings. But every person is crippled in his or her own way by our inability to truly present ourselves to the world.
每个人的内心都是一片海洋。每一个走在街上的人。每个人都是一个由思想、见解和感受组成的宇宙。但每个人都有自己的缺陷,因为我们无法真正地向世界展现自己。
So much of our lives is given over to the consideration of our imperfections that there is no time to improve our imaginary virtues. The truth is we only perfect our vices, and man is a worse creature when he dies than he was when he was born.
我们生活中太多的时间都花在考虑自己的缺点上,以至于没有时间去改善我们想象中的优点。事实上,我们只是在完善我们的罪恶,人死后比出生时更坏。
We are in the entertainment business and we all know if you are top of the tree you get the big money. Those of us who have been in it are the fortunate ones but we understand that we probably don't deserve it as much as the nurses or teachers.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
当我们诚实地问自己生命中谁对我们最重要时,我们常常发现,是那些人,他们没有给出建议、解决方案或治愈方法,而是选择与我们分享痛苦,用温暖而温柔的手触摸我们的伤口。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests.

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.
