A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
I wonder anybody does anything at Oxford but dream and remember, the place is so beautiful. One almost expects the people to sing instead of speaking. It is all like an opera.
我想知道在牛津,除了梦想和记住,还有人在做什么,那地方太美了。人们几乎期望人们唱歌而不是说话。这就像一出歌剧。
People assume that the meaning of a song is vested in the lyrics. To me, that has never been the case. There are very few songs that I can think of where I remember the words.
人们认为歌曲的意义在于歌词。对我来说,从来没有过这种情况。我能想到的能记住歌词的歌曲很少。

But I would never insult the people that love this music and I would never insult the blessing of music in my life and I would never insult myself by playing uninspired music.
但我永远不会侮辱热爱这首音乐的人,我永远不会侮辱音乐在我生命中的祝福,我永远不会通过演奏没有灵感的音乐来侮辱我自己。
I defend the right of almost everything to be published... because I think that you're better off in trusting the marketplace than allowing other people to make that decision.

I had been to the South many times and I thought I knew what the South was, but not until you live with people and live through their lives do you know what it's really about.
我去过南方很多次,我以为我知道南方是什么,但直到你和人们生活在一起,经历他们的生活,你才知道南方到底是什么。
Even during my youth, I can recall very few black people living on any kind of public assistance. People were working, doing some kind of job that was useful to the community.
甚至在我年轻的时候,我记得很少有黑人依靠任何形式的公共援助生活。人们在工作,做一些对社区有用的工作。
It's the least that someone can do, someone like me that owes so much to this people and to the revolution: study hard, but more than that, defend them under any circumstance.
这是一个人能做的最起码的事情,像我这样的人,对这个民族和这场革命亏欠太多:努力学习,但更重要的是,在任何情况下都要保护他们。
I think what makes us human - is our interconnectedness among people. It's our ability to form and maintain relationships. It's the barometer by which we call ourselves human.
我认为使我们成为人类的是人与人之间的相互联系。这是我们形成和维持关系的能力。它是我们自称为人类的晴雨表。
I don't know how to cook and there's so much work involved you have to buy the groceries and prepare them. I like it when people cook for me, or I'll just order some take-out.

People thought I was this doll that came to life, so I would have different people just treating me very strangely as far as I was concerned. They wanted to see if I was real.

Well, they're Southern people, and if they know you are working at home they think nothing of walking right in for coffee. But they wouldn't dream of interrupting you at golf.
嗯,他们是南方人,如果他们知道你在家工作,他们不会认为直接走进来喝咖啡有什么大不了的。但打高尔夫球时,他们不会打扰你。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

I know that there are people who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that!
我知道有些人不爱他们的同胞,我讨厌这样的人!
You know, in my music career there was a moment where the irony was just so heavy. There were people in my audience that were the reason I developed neuroses. These people that tortured my life were using my art, my poetry, as fuel for them, to torture other people.
你知道,在我的音乐生涯中,曾经有那么一个时刻,讽刺是如此沉重。我的听众中有些人就是我患上神经症的原因。这些折磨我生活的人,用我的艺术,我的诗歌,作为他们的燃料,来折磨别人。
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.

Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't get serious with people. They don't expect it from you, and they don't want to see it. You're not entitled to be serious, you're a clown.
做一个有趣的人对你有很多好处。你觉得你不应该对别人太认真。他们不期待你这么做,他们也不想看到你这么做。你没资格严肃,你是个小丑。
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
