A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

When you beat a team so often - especially like this season when Chelsea had already lost three times to us - you know people expect you to do it again. But you also know they're going to be even more motivated to finally win.
当你经常击败一支球队——尤其是这个赛季切尔西已经三次输给我们的时候——你知道人们希望你能再赢一次。但你也知道他们最终会更有动力去赢得比赛。
I also did an Ozzy piece for him, and so I got hired. Everything happened really fast. I can't give people advice, because everything in my life changed completely in less than a year and it's still not something I am used to.
我还为他写了一篇奥兹的文章,所以我被录用了。一切都发生得太快了。我不能给别人建议,因为我生活中的一切都在不到一年的时间里发生了彻底的改变,而这仍然不是我所习惯的。
Young people don't want to be second to anyone. Everyone wants to be an overnight star. Look how many years I had to wait, how many roads I had to travel, how many songs I had to sing. And now I'm just beginning, never ending.
年轻人不想成为任何人的第二。每个人都想一夜成名。看看我要等多少年,我要走多少条路,我要唱多少首歌。现在我才刚刚开始,永远不会结束。
At a minimum the majority of search dollars will flow to a social media model because people care most about what their peers think and the technology is there for that information to be quickly shared on products and services.
至少,大部分搜索资金将流向社交媒体模式,因为人们最关心的是他们的同行怎么想,而且有技术可以让这些信息在产品和服务上快速共享。
People commonly travel the world over to see rivers and mountains, new stars, garish birds, freak fish, grotesque breeds of human; they fall into an animal stupor that gapes at existence and they think they have seen something.
人们常到世界各地去看河流和山脉,看新星,看艳丽的鸟,看畸形的鱼,看奇形怪状的人类;他们陷入一种动物的昏迷状态,对存在睁大眼睛,他们认为自己看到了什么。
Some people act as though art that is for a mass audience is not good art, and I think this has been a very negative thing. I know that I have wanted very much to write books that are accessible to the widest audience possible.
有些人的行为似乎是艺术,为大众观众是不好的艺术,我认为这是一个非常消极的事情。我知道我非常想写一本书,让尽可能多的读者都能读懂。
As long as the number one worry for people, keeping them up at nights, is whether they're going to have a job in the morning, then they are less likely to resist unfair changes, or unfair treatment, or cuts in real pay at work.
只要人们最担心的事情,让他们夜不能寐的事情,是他们是否要在早上工作,那么他们就不太可能抗拒不公平的改变,不公平的待遇,或者是工作中实际工资的削减。
People don't understand that that's really what it is. They're looking for a magic phone number or something. And to a certain extent, I understand that, because comedy is treated so much as a stepping stone by a lot of people.
人们不明白那是什么。他们在找一个神奇的电话号码什么的。在某种程度上,我能理解这一点,因为喜剧被很多人视为垫脚石。
In this age, in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it, nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions.
在这个时代,在这个国家,民意决定一切。有了它,没有什么会失败;相反,没有什么能成功。塑造公众情绪的人比制定法律或宣布司法决定的人更有深度。
I didn't wish those tragedies upon the people who played them out. It was certainly tragic for them, but not for me. All of those things brought me to where I am. Without those things, I couldn't be who I am, I wouldn't be here.
我不希望那些悲剧发生在上演这些悲剧的人身上。这对他们来说无疑是一场悲剧,但对我却不是。所有这些都把我带到了现在的位置。没有这些,我就不会是现在的我,我就不会在这里。
We are just interested in dealing with the people we're paying every day. We know federal law allows them to vote in a union at anytime, but we think we can resist that by talking to our own people and giving them enough upside.
我们感兴趣的只是和我们每天付钱的人打交道。我们知道联邦法律允许他们在任何时候在一个联盟中投票,但是我们认为我们可以通过与我们自己的人民对话并给予他们足够的好处来抵制这种做法。
And I say the sacred hoop of my people was one of the many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father.
我说,我的人民的神圣的圆环是许多圆环中的一个,它们围成一个圆圈,宽如白昼,宽如星光,在圆圈的中央长着一棵高大的开花树,为一位母亲和一位父亲的所有孩子提供庇护。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals; if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God, they are called developers.
如果人们破坏了人类创造的可替换的东西,他们被称为破坏者;如果他们破坏了上帝创造的不可替代的东西,他们就被称为开发者。
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。
Death used to announce itself in the thick of life but now people drag on so long it sometimes seems that we are reaching the stage when we may have to announce ourselves to death. It is as though one needs a special strength to die, and not a final weakness.
死亡过去常常在生命的壮年宣布它自己,但现在人们拖得太久了,有时我们似乎到了不得不宣布死亡的时候。就好像一个人死的时候需要一种特殊的力量,而不是最终的弱点。
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。
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。
