A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
过去
past
Every time I've talked about my family in the past, people have ended up getting upset. So I said to my friends and family: 'I shan't refer to you at all, and there's nothing for you to get upset about. There's the deal.'
每次我谈到我过去的家庭，人们最后都变得心烦意乱。所以我对我的朋友和家人说:‘我根本不会提到你，你也没有什么可烦恼的。这笔交易。”
I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there.
如果有人敲我的门，而只有乐队和经理有我的电话号码，我从来不接。无论如何，我的电话没有响，所以我从来没有注意到它。我偶尔会走过去捡起来看看有没有人。
I do sometimes strongly hope that in a past life, my most recent life before this, I was absolutely horrible, evil, hideous. Because otherwise - well, hell, to even things up next time around, I'm going to have to pay for this one, am I not?
我有时强烈希望，在我的前世，在我最近的前世，我绝对是可怕的，邪恶的，可怕的。因为，否则——好吧，见鬼，为了下次扯平，我得为这个买单，不是吗?
After voluntary exertions on the part of our people to which the history of the world furnishes no parallel, is the old root of bitterness still to remain in the ground, to sprout and bear fruit in the future as it has borne fruit in the past?
在世界历史所无法比拟的我国人民的自愿努力之后，痛苦的老根还会象它过去所结的果实那样留在地里，在未来发芽和结果吗?
I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past.
我几乎完全无视先例，相信会有更好的结果。有人告诉我事情总是这样做，我很生气。我反对先例的暴政。我追求任何可以改变过去的新事物。
Know what the old masters did. Know how they composed their pictures, but do not fall into the conventions they established. These conventions were right for them, and they are wonderful. They made their language. You make yours. All the past can help you.
知道过去的大师们是怎么做的。知道他们如何构图，但不要落入他们所建立的常规。这些惯例对他们来说是正确的，而且非常棒。他们创造了自己的语言。你做你的。所有的过去都能帮助你。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
For the past two years,the only thing the 'Idol' machine has been doing has been maliciously attacking my name.
在过去的两年里，“偶像”机器一直在做的唯一一件事就是恶意攻击我的名字。
Never mind a world that can't see past brutality.

In the past, so many of my records, really, have been sketches for records that never really got made.

The self is an oral society in which the present is constantly running a dialogue with the past and the future inside of one skin.
自我是一个口头的社会，在这个社会里，现在不断地与过去和未来在同一个皮肤里进行对话。
Sometimes it takes looking at the past to really be able to move forward and learn from it.
有时需要回顾过去，才能真正向前迈进，并从中吸取教训。
But it's funny that now I'm in such a happy situation, I look more objectively at my own past and see what others have seen for a long time and I'm just so glad I've been able to get to this point.
但有趣的是，现在我处于如此幸福的境地，我更客观地看待自己的过去，看到别人很长时间以来所看到的，我很高兴我能走到这一步。
