A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
Equal and united people can above all become a part of the civilization toward which mankind is moving. If we cannot be at the head of the column leading to such a civilization, there is certainly no need for us to be at is tail.
平等和团结的人民首先能够成为人类正在走向的文明的一部分。如果我们不能站在通向这样一种文明的行列的前列,我们当然就没有必要站在它的后面。
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。
So one day, in a fit of trying to do something different, I just dyed my hair dark brown and got my first role a week later, after which I thought: 'People are closed-minded, man! Like a different hair colour changes everything!'
所以有一天,我想做点不一样的事情,于是我把头发染成了深棕色,一周后得到了我的第一个角色。就像不同的头发颜色会改变一切一样!”
When you take a stand out of deep conviction, people know. They may not even agree, but they ask, 'Do I want someone who is willing to take a hard stand and someone I can trust to do that when the chips are down?' They want that.
当你坚定自己的立场时,人们就知道了。他们甚至可能不同意,但他们会问,‘我想要一个愿意采取强硬立场的人,一个在紧要关头我可以信任的人吗?“他们想要那样。
We tried to set up a company that patterned ourselves after Southwest in all the fun, the spirit, the great people, the smile, the efficiency side of it, but we've added some extras that people aren't used to finding on Southwest.
我们试图建立一个模仿西南航空的公司,在所有的乐趣,精神,伟大的人,微笑,效率方面,但是我们增加了一些额外的东西,人们不习惯在西南航空发现。
I think I always resented the fact that people thought I was trying to entertain them with my multifaceted, chameleonlike character changes. Although I liked doing that, I wasn't out to fool people and say 'Guess which one is me.'
我想我总是对人们认为我试图用我多方面的、变色龙般的性格变化来取悦他们感到不满。虽然我喜欢这样做,但我并不是要愚弄别人,然后说“猜猜哪个是我”。
They've got the singles and some people have burnt them from different web sites and stuff. So it was something that we talked about for a long, long time, and I just wanted to make sure that this remix album to be really special.
他们有单曲,有些人从不同的网站上把它们烧掉。这是我们谈论了很长时间的事情,我只是想确保这张混音专辑真的很特别。
I think that London is very much like that. I find there's humour in the air and people are interesting. And I think that it's a place which is constantly surprising. The worst thing about it? I think it can be smug and aggressive.
我认为伦敦很像那样。我发现空气中有幽默,人们很有趣。我认为这是一个不断让人惊讶的地方。最糟糕的是什么?我认为这可能是自鸣得意和咄咄逼人。
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。
People don't want to believe that technology is broken. Pharmaceuticals, robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology - all these areas where the progress has been a lot more limited than people think. And the question is why.
人们不愿意相信技术已经坏了。制药、机器人、人工智能、纳米技术——所有这些领域的进展都比人们想象的有限得多。问题是为什么。
I can do comedy, so people want me to do that, but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep, deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don't realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side.
我可以做喜剧,所以人们想让我做,但喜剧的另一面是抑郁。深深的抑郁是喜剧的另一面。选角经纪人没有意识到这一点,但为了搞笑,你必须有另一面。
I think people would actually be surprised by what we put out. Unfortunately the shadow that the original founders cast was that they were just artists that can't write books so people swept the whole of Image with that paintbrush.
我想人们会对我们所做的感到惊讶。不幸的是,最初的创始人投下的阴影是,他们只是不能写书的艺术家,所以人们用画笔扫过整个形象。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
There is probably an element of malice in our readiness to overestimate people - we are, as it were, laying up for ourselves the pleasure of later cutting them down to size.
在我们准备过高估计别人的时候,可能有一种恶意的成分——可以说,我们是在为自己积累一种乐趣,以便以后把他们的身材缩小。
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

I pick out young people and teach them in less time than it would take me to alter the methods of people from the boards, and I get actors who look the parts they have to fill.

Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure.
坚持不懈的人从别人失败的地方开始成功。
