A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

People
The thing you've got to watch for is going broke when you're old. Look at all the people that go down and out at the finish. The man who built my country place is blind now and penniless. That's terrible!
你要当心的是你老了以后会破产。看看那些在终点时冲下去又冲出去的人。建造我们国家的那个人现在是瞎子,身无分文。那是可怕的!
People always tell me, 'Don't work so much', but I can't help it. I feel like all the things I've done are important to get to this adult stage and now I'm getting all these adult offers, so it's working.
人们总是告诉我,‘不要工作太多’,但我没有办法。我觉得我所做的一切对于进入成人阶段都是很重要的,现在我收到了很多成人的邀请,所以一切都很顺利。
Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
选一天。尽情享受吧。总有一天会到来。人们来了……我想,过去帮助我珍惜现在——我不想因为担心未来而毁掉现在。
But it so happens, and it will ever happen so, that they who have lived to serve their country - no matter how weak their efforts may have been - are sure to receive the thanks and blessings of its people.
但是,这样的事情会发生,而且永远会发生,那些活着为国家服务的人——无论他们的努力有多么微不足道——一定会得到其人民的感谢和祝福。
It is a call for black people in this country to unite, to recognize their heritage, to build a sense of community. It is a call for black people to define their own goals, to lead their own organizations.
这是号召这个国家的黑人团结起来,承认他们的传统,建立一种社区意识。这是对黑人的号召,要求他们定义自己的目标,领导自己的组织。
You see people who have been very heavy in their life who have taken that body, trimmed it down, firmed it up through discipline, exercise and being able to say no. Eating properly, that all comes into it.
你会看到那些在生活中非常沉重的人,他们通过训练、锻炼和能够说“不”来锻炼身体,使之变得结实。吃得好,这些都很重要。
People should have the choice to be able to live where they want to live, go to school where they want to go to school, marry whoever they want to marry regardless of what their complexion is and so forth.
人们应该有权选择住在他们想住的地方,上他们想上的学校,和他们想嫁的人结婚,不管他们的肤色如何等等。
The Internet is a big place where a lot of people can voice their opinions, and my mother chooses to pick fights with random people from all over the world who don't have the nicest things to say about me.
互联网是一个很大的地方,很多人都可以发表自己的观点,我妈妈选择和来自世界各地的人打架,他们对我没有什么好话可说。
However, I have a low opinion of people with narrow political horizons. Someone who talks about the environment and knows nothing about economics can make as many mistakes as someone who does the opposite.
然而,我对政治视野狭窄的人评价很低。一个只会谈论环境而对经济一无所知的人,可能会犯与之相反的错误一样多的错误。
With all the great products that are apparently out there that are undetectable, for me to take something like that... when people take things that now aren't even being tested for, does it make any sense?
所有伟大的产品,显然是在那里,是无法检测的,对我来说,采取这样的东西…当人们服用现在甚至没有经过测试的药物时,这有什么意义吗?
Onstage I do all the stuff I'd never do in real life, like lashing out at people who make me mad or freaking out in a long bank lineup. Performing allows me to fulfill all the sicko fantasies I've ever had.
在舞台上,我做了所有我在现实生活中从未做过的事情,比如抨击那些让我发疯的人,或者在一长串银行排队中发疯。表演让我实现了我所有病态的幻想。
Some people aren't touchy-feely, but I grew up in a family where you'd walk into the family room and there'd be five people on the couch with an arm here, an arm there, everyone scratching and taking turns.
有些人不太感性,但我生长在这样一个家庭,当你走进家庭客厅,会发现有五个人坐在沙发上,一只手在这里,一只手在那里,每个人都在挠,轮流。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.
客人就像鱼一样,过了三天就开始发臭。
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。
My point of view is, I'm just a person, and there are times when I look at other people and think, 'My God, they spend so much time thinking about things that seem so absurd.' But I'm sure people must think the same thing about me.
我的观点是,我只是一个人,有时候我看着别人的时候会想,‘天哪,他们花了那么多时间去想那些看起来很荒谬的事情。“但我肯定人们对我也会有同样的看法。
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。
I don't think I would be a writer if I had stayed in Chile. I would be trapped in the chores, in the family, in the person that people expected me to be.
如果我留在智利,我想我不会成为一名作家。我将被困在家务琐事中,在家庭中,在人们期望我成为的那个人里。
