A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
I think a lot of people are with the one they're meant to be with. I see it watching my parents because they've been together for so long and are still very much in love. I'm just sort of in awe of that.
我想很多人都和命中注定的那个人在一起。我看着我的父母,因为他们在一起这么久了,仍然深爱着我。我只是有点害怕。
Moreover, it thus follows that not a great deal of time was needed for the large animals of the three major parts of the world to become known to the people who spent time on the coasts of those regions.
此外,因此,世界上三个主要地区的大型动物不需要很长时间就能为那些在这些地区海岸上生活过的人们所了解。
So many people are working in vaudeville today that I looked for three weeks to book enough acts for an hour bill and didn't have them until the night before we opened in Buffalo and money was no object!
今天有那么多人在杂耍剧院工作,我花了三个星期的时间才订到足够一个小时演出的戏份,比尔直到我们在布法罗开张的前一天晚上才订到。
Everyone is different, but I'm not standoffish at all. I'm not one of those people who prefer to write a note. I'll walk right up to you and ask you out! Even if the answer's no, I'm totally cool with it.
每个人都不一样,但我一点也不冷漠。我不是那种喜欢写便条的人。我直接走过去约你出去!即使答案是否定的,我也完全接受。
And why do we, who say we oppose tyranny and demand freedom of speech, allow people to go to prison and be vilified, and magazines to be closed down on the spot, for suggesting another version of history.
为什么我们,那些说我们反对暴政,要求言论自由的人,允许人们进监狱,被污蔑,杂志当场被关闭,因为我们提出了另一种版本的历史。
I don't know how the editors are going to take it or how it may be received. But to some extent I'm hoping that with the next book, when people pick it up and read it, it will scare the pants off of them.
我不知道编辑们会怎么看,也不知道他们会怎么接受。但在某种程度上,我希望下一本书,当人们拿起来读的时候,能把他们吓得魂飞魄散。
It's like that with what sort of ideas people outside of the band have of HIM. They all see it through a different lens as well which is beautiful. Hopefully, it makes it an endless topic of conversation.
就像乐队外的人对他的看法一样。他们都从不同的角度来看待它,这是美丽的。希望这能成为一个永无止境的话题。
I think it is very ironic that most people think that the banjo is a southern white instrument. It came from Africa and even for the first years that white people played banjo they would put on blackface.
我认为很讽刺的是,大多数人认为班卓琴是南方白人的乐器。它来自非洲,甚至在白人演奏班卓琴的最初几年里,他们都会把自己的脸涂成黑色。
Even by common wisdom, there seem to be both people and objects in my dream that are outside myself, but clearly they were created in myself and are part of me, they are mental constructs in my own brain.
即使是用一般的智慧,在我的梦中,似乎有一些人和一些物体是在我自己之外的,但很明显,它们是我自己创造的,是我的一部分,它们是我自己大脑中的心智结构。
Well, I think as long as people are talking about stimulus, I think the Fed will be thinking about cutting rates because monetary policy is the better way to go because you can turn it on and turn it off.
我认为,只要人们还在谈论刺激计划,美联储就会考虑降息,因为货币政策是更好的选择,因为你可以随时启动或关闭货币政策。
Necessarily, I'm always involved in casting, as any playwright is, because the whole process of putting on a play is a collaborative, organic effort on the part of a bunch of people trying to think alike.
当然,我和任何剧作家一样,总是参与选角工作,因为上演一出戏的整个过程是一群人的合作和有机的努力,他们想要有同样的想法。
In fact, some reviewers have said that as they got into the story they forgot that the protagonist is a black woman. They were moved by the story - by the people as a whole - and not by the little things.
事实上,一些评论家说,当他们读到这个故事的时候,他们忘记了主角是一位黑人女性。他们被这个故事所感动——被人们作为一个整体所感动——而不是被一些小事所感动。
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。
I don't like to talk much with people who always agree with me. It is amusing to coquette with an echo for a little while, but one soon tires of it.
我不喜欢和总是同意我的人多说话。用回声去卖弄风情,一会儿是有趣的,但很快就会厌倦的。
People believe what they want to believe.
人们相信他们想相信的。
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 walk in the rain, others just get wet.
有些人在雨中行走,有些人只是淋湿了。
If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people.
如果你能做自己最擅长的事,并且快乐,你就比大多数人在生活中走得更远。
