A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
A lot of people put all that stuff on a pedestal, and they won't touch it. But I don't think that's the reason they did that. I think they played that stuff out of pure joy.
很多人把所有的东西都放在一个基座上,他们不会碰它。但我不认为这是他们那样做的原因。我想他们演奏那首曲子纯粹是出于高兴。
There is probably an element of malice in our readiness to overestimate people - we are, as it were, laying up for ourselves the pleasure of later cutting them down to size.
在我们准备过高估计别人的时候,可能有一种恶意的成分——可以说,我们是在为自己积累一种乐趣,以便以后把他们的身材缩小。
Visionary people face the same problems everyone else faces; but rather than get paralyzed by their problems, visionaries immediately commit themselves to finding a solution.
有远见的人面临着和其他人一样的问题;但是,梦想家们不会被他们的问题吓倒,而是立即致力于找到解决方案。
A lot of people don't like bumper stickers. I don't mind bumper stickers. To me a bumper sticker is a shortcut. It's like a little sign that says 'Hey, let's never hang out.'
很多人不喜欢保险杠贴纸。我不介意保险杠贴纸。对我来说,汽车保险杠贴纸是一条捷径。它就像一个小牌子,上面写着“嘿,我们永远不要出去玩。”
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
全国人民不了解我们的银行和货币体系已经足够好了,因为如果他们了解的话,我相信明天上午之前就会有一场革命。
I mean, in some cases with libel laws, you know, they can write things about people who have no course of action, because they can't afford to take legal action against them.
我的意思是,在一些诽谤法的案例中,你知道,他们可以写一些关于没有诉讼程序的人的事情,因为他们没有能力对他们采取法律行动。
I tend to not want to put labels or categories on the music, only because people come with preconceived ideas about what they're going to hear, or won't come for this reason.
我倾向于不给音乐贴上标签或分类,只是因为人们对他们将要听到的东西有先入为主的想法,或者因为这个原因不来。
Most people who are activists and are concerned about issues get their information from sources which reinforce their opinions and give them the facts that they want to hear.
大多数积极分子和关心问题的人从他们的信息源获得信息,这些信息源加强了他们的观点,给他们提供了他们想要听到的事实。
All my life people have made fun of me because I was so skinny. They kind of made me feel bad about it sometimes. I worried that maybe people will think I am really anorexic.
我一生都被人取笑,因为我太瘦了。他们有时让我感觉很糟糕。我担心人们会认为我真的厌食症。
There will always be a few people who just want to knock you down or are jealous or just want to be horrible for the sake of it. I don't know what drives someone to be nasty.
总会有一些人只是想要打倒你,或者是嫉妒你,或者只是想为了你而变得可怕。我不知道是什么让人这么讨厌。
I came to these mediums through having the garden, and of course, people who have designed gardens have always worked in collaboration, and never made their own inscriptions.
我是通过拥有花园而接触到这些媒介的,当然,那些设计花园的人一直都是合作的,从来没有自己写过铭文。
Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown.
大多数人在即将取得成功时就放弃了。他们在一码线上退出。他们在比赛的最后一分钟离成功触地只有一英尺远的时候放弃了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
People don’t buy what you do; people buy why you do it.
人们不会买你的东西;人们相信你这样做的原因。
People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
人们常说“美在观者的眼中”,而我认为关于美最解放的事情就是意识到你是观者。这使我们能够在别人不敢看到的地方发现美,包括我们自己的内心。
It feels like the more I'm out there in the public eye, the more criticism I get. You need to have confidence - that's what it takes to walk out there and sing a song in front of a huge group of people.
我感觉自己在公众视野中出现得越多,就会受到越多的批评。你需要有信心——这就是走出去,在一大群人面前唱一首歌所需要的。
If you explode onto the scene at a very young age, there are so many people pulling you in different directions. It takes time to recalibrate and see what's important.
如果你在很小的时候就爆红了,会有很多人把你往不同的方向拉。重新调整需要时间,看看什么是重要的。
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
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.
