A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
People know me. I'm not going to produce any cartwheels out there. I'm not going to belong on Comedy Central. I'll always be a tennis player, not a celebrity.
人知道我。我不会做任何侧手翻。我不属于喜剧中心。我将永远是网球运动员，而不是名人。
I love it when people say, 'You're nothing like I thought you were going to be' - which always means, 'I like you so much more than I thought I was going to.'
我喜欢人们说，“你一点也不像我想的那样”——这意味着，“我比我想的更喜欢你。”
I know a lot of people who have tremendous commercial success and they go directly for it. There's something that has always been difficult about that for me.
我认识很多人，他们在商业上取得了巨大的成功，他们直接去追求。这对我来说总是有一些困难。
I wonder if most people ever ask themselves why love is connected with reproduction. And if they do ask themselves about this, I wonder what answer they give.
我想知道，大多数人是否曾经问过自己，为什么爱情与生育有关。如果他们问自己这个问题，我不知道他们会给出什么答案。
Baseball people, and that includes myself, are slow to change and accept new ideas. I remember that it took years to persuade them to put numbers on uniforms.
棒球人，包括我自己，改变和接受新想法的速度很慢。我记得他们花了好几年的时间才说服他们在制服上加上号码。
There are people who can start having very powerful experiences without taking psychedelics. It can happen against their will. This is a universal phenomenon.
有些人可以在不服用迷幻药的情况下开始拥有非常强大的体验。这可能违背他们的意愿。这是一个普遍现象。
Propaganda in the ordinary sense of the term plays a less important part in a consumer society, where people greet all official pronouncements with suspicion.
普通意义上的宣传在消费社会中扮演着不那么重要的角色，在这个社会中，人们对所有官方声明都持怀疑态度。
Love is often nothing but a favorable exchange between two people who get the most of what they can expect, considering their value on the personality market.
考虑到他们在人格市场上的价值，爱情往往只是两个人之间的一种有利的交流，他们能得到他们所能期望的最多的东西。
I don't really like dressing up. Some people probably think actresses dress up everywhere they go. I'm in sweatpants half the time with my hair in a ponytail.

It's important not to limit the amount of their own money that candidates can spend, but to give other people access to enough money to run competitive races.
重要的是不要限制候选人自己的钱，而是让其他人有足够的钱来参加竞争。
People aren't as stupid as the politicians think. More and more of us are laughing off our 'civic duty' to vote, rejecting the role of compulsory constituent.
人们并不像政客们想的那么愚蠢。我们中越来越多的人对投票的“公民义务”一笑置之，拒绝扮演强制选民的角色。
I like to connect to people in the virtual world, exchanging thoughts and ideas, when in the physical world we might never have the opportunity to cross paths.
我喜欢与虚拟世界中的人们联系，交流思想和想法，而在现实世界中，我们可能永远没有机会相遇。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Death used to announce itself in the thick of life but now people drag on so long it sometimes seems that we are reaching the stage when we may have to announce ourselves to death. It is as though one needs a special strength to die, and not a final weakness.
死亡过去常常在生命的壮年宣布它自己，但现在人们拖得太久了，有时我们似乎到了不得不宣布死亡的时候。就好像一个人死的时候需要一种特殊的力量，而不是最终的弱点。
I do think the attempt to raise consciousness has succeeded. People are very aware of gender concerns now.
我确实认为提高意识的尝试已经成功。人们现在非常关注性别问题。
It had been startling and disappointing to me to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming of themselves like grass.
当我发现故事书是由人写的，书并不是自然奇观，而是像草一样自己生长出来的时候，我感到既震惊又失望。
Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest.
告诉我们要服从本能就像告诉我们要服从人一样。人们会说不同的话，直觉也是如此。我们的本能处于战争状态…每一种本能，如果你听从它，都会声称以牺牲其他本能为代价而得到满足。
People believe what they want to believe.
人们相信他们想相信的。
I don't think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star.
我不认为自己是一个电影明星，我可以很容易地说服别人我不是一个电影明星。
