A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
I looked below and saw my people there, and all were well and happy except one, and he was lying like the dead - and that one was myself.
我往下一看,看见我的同胞们都很好,很幸福,只有一个例外。他像死人一样躺着——那个人就是我。
My mom was always the supplier of soccer balls, and so people were always knocking on my door, and trying to get me out so we could play.
我妈妈总是提供足球,所以人们总是来敲我的门,想把我弄出去,这样我们就可以玩了。
Forgiveness is a promise, not a feeling. When you forgive other people, you are making a promise not to use their past sins against them.
宽恕是一种承诺,而不是一种感觉。当你宽恕别人的时候,你是在承诺不利用他们过去的罪恶来伤害他们。
Be grateful to the man you help, think of him as god. Is it not a great privilege to be allowed to worship god by helping our fellow men?
感激你帮助的人,把他当成上帝。藉由帮助我们的同胞来敬拜神,岂不是一种极大的特权吗?
I wrote speculative fiction because I loved to read it, and thought I could do better than some of the people who were getting published.
我写推理小说是因为我喜欢读它,并且认为我可以比一些即将出版的人做得更好。
May not the complaint, that common people are above their station, often take its rise in the fact of uncommon people being below theirs?
“平凡人高于他们的地位”这一抱怨,难道不常以“平凡人低于他们的地位”这一事实为依据吗?
News reports stand up as people, and people wither into editorials. Cliches walk around on two legs while men are having theirs shot off.
新闻报道以人的身份出现,而人则沦为社论。陈词滥调说,当男人在射击的时候,他们会用两条腿走路。
Although I am deeply grateful to a great many people, I forgo the temptation of naming them for fear that I might slight any by omission.
虽然我对很多人怀有深深的感激之情,但我还是放弃了给他们命名的诱惑,因为我担心自己会漏掉一些名字。
People think that I must be a very strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy. It is in a glass jar on my desk.
人们认为我一定是一个很奇怪的人。这是不对的。我有一颗小男孩的心。它在我桌子上的一个玻璃瓶里。
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way."
有两种人:一种人对上帝说:“愿你的旨意成就”;另一种人,上帝说:“好吧,那就照你的意思去做。”
People say love is blind because they do not know what love is. I say unto you, only love has eyes; other than love, everything is blind.
人们说爱是盲目的,因为他们不知道爱是什么。我告诉你们,只有爱才有眼睛。除了爱,一切都是盲目的。
I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.
我注意到,即使是那些声称一切都是命中注定的人,我们也无法改变它,在他们过马路前要三思。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
许多政治家习惯于把它作为一个不言自明的命题,即在人们能够充分利用他们的自由之前,没有人应该是自由的。这句格言就像古老故事里的傻瓜,他决定在学会游泳之前不下水。
People will stare. Make it worth their while.
人们会盯着看。让他们觉得值得。
All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose
所有成功人士,无论男女,都是伟大的梦想家。他们想象他们的未来会是什么样子,在各个方面都很理想,然后他们每天朝着他们的远景、目标或目的努力
People who are always taking care of their health are like misers, who are hoarding a treasure which they have never spirit enough to enjoy.
总是注意自己健康的人就像守财奴,他们囤积了大量的财富,却从来没有足够的精神去享受。
I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.
我觉得我们比以前聪明多了。每个人都知道抽象艺术可以是艺术,大多数人知道他们可能不喜欢它,即使他们知道它还有另一个目的。
