A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

人民

People

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。

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。

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。

KEEP EXPLORING

沿着这个主题,再读几句。

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。

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。

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT

给此刻的你,一点向前的力量。
