A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
If there wasn't mystery, people wouldn't have anything to ponder. If you already knew everything, you wouldn't have anything to think about and life would just be really boring.
如果没有神秘,人们就不会有任何值得思考的东西。如果你已经知道了所有的事情,你就没有什么可想的了,生活也会变得很无聊。
Some people are like wheelbarrows; useful only when pushed, and very easily upset. The time to stop talking is when the other person nods his head affirmatively but says nothing.
有些人就像手推车;只有在被推的时候才有用,而且很容易心烦意乱。当对方肯定地点点头,但什么也没说时,就是停止说话的时候。
People think top singers are overpaid, but opera houses have a top fee, which is a good thing. Of course concerts are different- everyone wants to make as much money as possible.
人们认为顶级歌手的薪酬过高,但歌剧院的收费很高,这是一件好事。当然音乐会是不同的——每个人都想赚尽可能多的钱。
Everyone realizes that one can believe little of what people say about each other. But it is not so widely realized that even less can one trust what people say about themselves.
每个人都意识到,一个人很难相信别人对彼此说的话。但人们并没有广泛认识到,人们对自己的评价更不可信。
You know, everybody has a slogan, and once you beat people over the head with it so much, then that's what you'll eventually be called once you retire from the sport or whatever.
你知道,每个人都有自己的口号,一旦你用它打败了很多人,那么当你退役后,人们就会这样称呼你。
You'd be surprised how many kids and young people come to the website and send me email that they are actually going into the Marine Corp because of something that I said or did.
你会惊讶地发现,有那么多的孩子和年轻人来到这个网站,给我发电子邮件,说他们实际上是因为我说过或做过的事情而进入海军陆战队的。
In the past the publishers I've worked with have been extremely generous. And in almost every case, have been people who believed in the work rather than the sales and marketing.
过去和我合作过的出版商都非常慷慨。在几乎所有的案例中,都是相信工作而不是销售和市场的人。
The people don't have to be together right now, in a month, or in a year. If those two people are meant to be, then they will eventually be together somehow at some time in life.
人们不需要现在就在一起,一个月,或者一年。如果这两个人是命中注定的,那么他们终有一天会在一起。
We all look to have transcendent experiences that lift us out of the everyday, and fear is a good one. But, I think it's the same reason why people want to laugh their heads off.
我们都希望有超越自我的体验,让我们从日常生活中解脱出来,而恐惧是一种很好的体验。但是,我认为这也是人们想笑掉大牙的原因。
While it is important for people to see your promise you must also remember that hope is the keeper of both happiness and disappointment, the father of both progress and failure.
当人们看到你的承诺是很重要的,你也必须记住,希望是快乐和失望的守护者,进步和失败的父亲。
If the right people do the right things, we can walk, we can have a future. But if people don't put time into it to make it run in a right way, I don't think your team will work.
如果对的人做对的事,我们就能走,我们就能有未来。但是如果人们不花时间让它以正确的方式运行,我认为你的团队就不会工作。
The fact people think that when you sell a lot of books you are not a serious writer is a great insult to the readership. I get a little angry when people try to say such a thing.
事实上,人们认为当你卖了很多书,你不是一个严肃的作家,这是对读者的极大侮辱。当人们试图说这样的话时,我有点生气。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
It is fun being a strong person. You feel invincible like you can face anything that comes your way. But you know what sucks being one ? Actually, it is really a damn thing because when people know that you are strong, they think that it is okay to hurt you, over and over again.
做一个坚强的人很有趣。你觉得自己所向无敌,就像你能面对任何事情一样。但你知道什么最糟糕吗?事实上,这真的是一件该死的事情,因为当人们知道你很坚强的时候,他们认为伤害你是可以的,一次又一次。
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 seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
人们似乎没有看到,他们对世界的看法也是一种性格的表白。
Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.
有些人永远学不到任何东西,因为他们理解一切太快。
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。
I don't like that man. I must get to know him better.
我不喜欢那个人。我必须更了解他。
