A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
There are still an awful lot of assets that have been evaporated but not written down. People are looking for a quarter with bad news so they can write it all off at once. Asset quality is lower than it has ever been.
仍有大量资产被蒸发,但没有减记。人们在寻找一个有坏消息的季度,这样他们就可以一次性把它一笔勾销。资产质量比以往任何时候都低。
The weirder you're going to behave, the more normal you should look. It works in reverse, too. When I see a kid with three or four rings in his nose, I know there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about that person.
你的举止越古怪,你就应该看起来越正常。反之亦然。当我看到一个鼻子上戴着三四枚戒指的孩子时,我知道这个人绝对没有什么特别之处。
Sanctions and negotiations can be very ineffective, and indeed foolish, unless the people you are talking with and negotiating with and trying to reach agreements with are people who can be trusted to keep their word.
制裁和谈判可能非常无效,而且确实愚蠢,除非与你交谈、谈判并试图达成协议的人是可以信任的守信用者。
When I hear people talk about juggling, or the sacrifices they make for their children, I look at them like they're crazy, because 'sacrifice' infers that there was something better to do than being with your children.
当我听到人们谈论杂耍,或者他们为孩子做出的牺牲时,我看着他们就像他们疯了一样,因为“牺牲”意味着有比和孩子在一起更好的事情可做。
Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.
一旦循规蹈矩,一旦惟命是从,懒散就笼罩着灵魂中一切灵敏的神经和官能。她变得徒有其表,内心空虚;迟钝、冷酷、冷漠。
I have always loved to sit in ferry and railroad stations and watch the people, to walk on crowded streets, just walk along among the people, and see their faces, to be among people on street cars and trains and boats.
我一直喜欢坐在渡轮和火车站里,看着人们,走在拥挤的街道上,走在人群中,看着他们的脸,坐在有轨电车、火车和船上,和人们在一起。
We suddenly saw how people reacted in the event of massive social upheaval, and the way that the little problems in your life don't go away. You don't stop being frightened of spiders just because the world's blown up.
我们突然看到了人们在发生大规模社会动荡时的反应,以及你生活中的小问题不会消失的方式。你不会因为世界被炸了就不再害怕蜘蛛。
People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messed cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.
人们不希望自己的生活被改变。没有人希望自己的问题得到解决。他们的戏剧。他们的干扰。他们的故事解决。他们的脏乱打扫干净了。因为他们还剩下什么?只是一个可怕的未知。
There are two types of people in this world, those that have a story about what they should have done with their life, and those that act on their dreams to make them come true. Which category do you want to fall into?
世界上有两种人,一种人对自己的人生应该做些什么有自己的故事,另一种人对自己的梦想采取行动,使之成为现实。你想归入哪一类?
I like roles that are on the extreme ends of the spectrum, and there's special appeal in exploring these slightly forgotten plays that people might think of as subjects for academic term papers instead of live theater.
我喜欢极端的角色,探索这些被人遗忘的戏剧有特殊的吸引力,人们可能会把它们当作学期论文的主题,而不是现场戏剧。
In the case of Elektra I really wasn't sure I could pull it off. There were so many intellectual leaps. My character, Stick, is blind, but he can see better than most people. So I had trouble kind of finding the logic.
在艾丽卡的例子中,我真的不确定自己能不能成功。我的角色斯蒂克是个盲人,但他比大多数人都看得清楚。所以我很难找到逻辑。
Serbia did not want to recognize our country in a peaceful way, so that is why they wanted to destroy us. All our efforts to find a peaceful solution were impossible. In order to save the people, NATO had to intervene.
塞尔维亚不想以和平的方式承认我们的国家,因此他们要摧毁我们。我们所有寻求和平解决办法的努力都是不可能的。为了拯救人民,北约不得不介入。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I tend to see the similarities in people and not the differences.
我倾向于看到人与人之间的相似之处,而不是不同点。
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。
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.
告诉我们要服从本能就像告诉我们要服从人一样。人们会说不同的话,直觉也是如此。我们的本能处于战争状态…每一种本能,如果你听从它,都会声称以牺牲其他本能为代价而得到满足。
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。
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。
I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people.
我认为英雄是任何一个真正想让这个地方变得更好的人。
