A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自己
Own
It is incumbent upon each of us to improve spending and savings practices to ensure our own individual financial security and preserve the collective economic well-being of our great society.
我们每个人都有责任改进支出和储蓄做法,以确保我们个人的财政安全,维护我们伟大社会的集体经济福祉。
I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door - or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
我成了自己版本的乐观主义者。如果我不能通过一扇门,我会通过另一扇门——或者我要做一扇门。无论现在多么黑暗,可怕的事情总会发生。
Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light, but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life.
死亡是这样一个人,你能清楚地看到他,他的眼睛就在你的心脏的中心:他的眼睛不是通过对光线的反应而看到的,而是通过对来自你生命骨髓中的一种寒意的反应而看到的。
Maybe it's just my own chronic morbidity and melancholia, but I really do think about it a great deal and quite often in the small hours of the night when, it is said, the greatest numbers of people die.
也许这只是我自己的慢性疾病和忧郁症,但我确实对它思考了很多,而且常常是在深夜的几个小时里,也就是据说死亡人数最多的时候。
Apart altogether from our own vital interests, we cannot and must not desert those other nations who have already gone through so much tragedy and suffering to defeat the evil designs of the Axis powers.
除了我们自己的切身利益之外,我们不能也绝不能抛弃那些已经经历了如此多的悲剧和苦难以击败轴心国邪恶图谋的其他国家。
In the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for "finding himself." If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence.
归根到底,个人要对自己的生活负责,对“发现自己”负责。如果他坚持把自己的责任转移给别人,他就不能发现自己存在的意义。
When nearly a third of our high school students do not graduate on time with their peers, we have work to do. We must design our middle and high schools so that no student gets lost in the crowd and disconnected from his or her own potential.
当我们近三分之一的高中生不能和他们的同龄人一起按时毕业时,我们就有工作要做。我们必须设计我们的初中和高中,使学生不会迷失在人群中,与自己的潜力脱节。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?
友谊不过是与他人的愚蠢和不幸结盟的另一个名称。我们自己的那份痛苦就够了:那么,为什么要自愿地进入别人的痛苦呢?
Personally, I feel that in my own work I wanted to look programmed or impersonal but I don't really believe I am being impersonal when I do it. And I don't think you could do this.
就我个人而言,我觉得在我自己的工作中,我想让自己看起来程序化或不带个人色彩,但我并不真的相信我这样做时不带个人色彩。我觉得你做不到。
Despair has its own calms.
绝望有它自己的平静。
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if i have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
不要相信任何东西,无论你在哪里读到的,也无论谁说过,即使我说过,也不要相信,除非它符合你自己的理性和常识。
It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.
每一个为自己珍视良心自由的人,都有责任在他人的情况下抵制良心自由的侵犯,否则,由于环境的变化,他们的情况可能会变成他自己的情况。
Freedom - to walk free and own no superior.
自由——自由地走,没有优越。
