A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
I am confident that, in the end, common sense and justice will prevail. I'm an optimist, brought up on the belief that if you wait to the end of the story, you get to see the good people live happily ever after.
我相信,常识和正义最终将占上风。我是个乐观主义者,从小就相信,如果你等到故事的结尾,你就会看到好人从此过上幸福的生活。
People may flatter themselves just as much by thinking that their faults are always present to other people's minds, as if they believe that the world is always contemplating their individual charms and virtues.
人们认为自己的缺点总是存在于他人的脑海中,就好像他们相信这个世界总是在审视他们个人的魅力和美德一样,他们也可能因此而沾沾自喜。
I'm from there. You know, when you grow up with these people and see them every day and then you look at the numbers it was easy; it was a no-brainer. And when Sony took a look, it was a no-brainer to them, too.
我来自那里。你知道,当你和这些人一起长大,每天都看到他们,然后你看着这些数字,这很简单;这是显而易见的。而当索尼看一眼时,他们也毫不犹豫地接受了。
Well, sometimes if I go out to dinner with my family, people will come up to me and put their hand across my plate for me to shake, sometimes when I have a bite of food in my mouth. I find this a bit disturbing.
嗯,有时候如果我和我的家人出去吃饭,人们会走到我面前,把他们的手放在我的盘子上让我握手,有时候当我嘴里有食物的时候。我觉得这有点令人不安。
People make suggestions on what to say all the time. I'll give you an example; I don't read what's handed to me. People say, 'Here, here's your speech, or here's an idea for a speech.' They're changed. Trust me.
人们总是对该说什么提出建议。我给你们举个例子;我不读递给我的东西。人们会说,‘给,这是你的演讲,或者这是演讲的想法。他们改变了。相信我。
He exists and we have four people who identified him and I know who he is, where he is, what his phone number is, everything about him that one needs. All I need is a criminal trial so I can have him subpoenaed.
他确实存在,我们有四个人确认了他的身份,我知道他是谁,他在哪里,他的电话号码是什么,一个人需要的关于他的一切。我只需要一个刑事审判,这样我就能传唤他。
Obviously, the anti-ERA people are tickled about my ordeal because it proves that the ERA breaks up families. When they point out that feminism is a dangerous thing, I just say marriage is pretty precarious too.
显然,反时代的人们对我的遭遇感到高兴,因为这证明了这个时代拆散了家庭。当他们指出女权主义是一件危险的事情时,我只是说婚姻也很不稳定。
I don't know the first real thing about the dating game. I don't know how to talk to a specific person and connect. I just think you have to go to person by person and do the best you can with people in general.
我对约会游戏一无所知。我不知道如何和一个特定的人交谈并建立联系。我只是认为你必须一个人一个人地去,尽可能地与人相处。
I think 'Tap Dogs' has lasted so long because people have a natural interest in tap dancing. This form of dancing can't be dated, it's such an intriguing form of dance because the feet are also an an instrument.
我认为“踢踏舞狗”之所以能流传这么久,是因为人们对踢踏舞有着天生的兴趣。这种舞蹈形式是不可过时的,它是如此迷人的舞蹈形式,因为脚也是一种乐器。
It's incredible, but I think a lot of people it shot over their heads 'cause they're used to just getting images and messing around with them, and for us to do something quite so 'designed' was a bit of a shock.
这是不可思议的,但我认为很多人都是在他们的头上拍摄的,因为他们已经习惯了只是获取图像和摆弄它们,而对于我们来说,做一些如此“设计”的东西是有点令人震惊的。
The only people available to change the world are the people now living in it, with all the beliefs they bring along - however retrograde those beliefs may appear to those of us who see ourselves as enlightened.
唯一可以改变世界的人是现在生活在这个世界上的人,他们带着所有的信念——不管这些信念在我们这些自认为是开明的人看来多么倒退。
Now it is evident that a little insight into the customs of every people is necessary to insure a kindly communication; this, joined with patience and kindness, will seldom fail with the natives of the interior.
现在很明显,了解每个人的风俗习惯是确保友好沟通的必要条件;这一点,加上耐心和善良,将很少会失败的土著内陆。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
People who are always taking care of their health are like misers, who are hoarding a treasure which they have never spirit enough to enjoy.
总是注意自己健康的人就像守财奴,他们囤积了大量的财富,却从来没有足够的精神去享受。
I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.
我觉得我们比以前聪明多了。每个人都知道抽象艺术可以是艺术,大多数人知道他们可能不喜欢它,即使他们知道它还有另一个目的。
One of the tragedies of modern times is that people have come to believe that something said by someone in the past, perhaps for illustrative or provocation purposes, actually represents that person's beliefs at the time.
现代的悲剧之一是,人们开始相信某人过去说过的一些话,可能是为了说明或挑衅的目的,实际上代表了那个人当时的信仰。
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。
The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work.
很多人没有意识到机遇的存在,是因为它总是穿着工装裤走来走去,看上去像在努力工作。
People believe what they want to believe.
人们相信他们想相信的。
