A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Well, for one thing, the executives in charge at Cartoon Network are cartoon fans. I mean, these are people who grew up loving animation and loving cartoons, and the only difference between them and me is they don't know how to draw.
首先,卡通频道的主管都是卡通迷。我的意思是,这些人从小就喜欢动画和卡通,他们和我唯一的区别就是他们不知道如何画画。
But I don't know if people are meant to be together. You have to have a lot in common, choose well and be really fortunate. It's not like you're sprinkled with fairy dust. You have to believe that love will be there when you need it.
但我不知道人们是否注定要在一起。你必须有很多共同之处,做出正确的选择,并且非常幸运。又不是你身上撒满了仙尘。你必须相信爱会在你需要的时候出现。
I'm moved to think about the political state of our country right now. Most people who go out and vote have a very clear sense of what's right and wrong. And a lot of those people who don't aren't sure, so they don't go out and vote.
我现在开始思考我们国家的政治状况。大多数参加投票的人都非常清楚什么是对的,什么是错的。很多人不确定,所以他们不出去投票。
There is an idea abroad among moral people that they should make their neighbors good. One person I have to make good: Myself. But my duty to my neighbor is much more nearly expressed by saying that I have to make him happy if I may.
有道德的人们普遍认为应该善待邻居。我必须让一个人变得优秀:我自己。但是,我对邻居的责任更接近于通过说,如果可能的话,我必须让他幸福来表达。
There are many things that people do happily that I can't imagine why they would do it... But I have to say that even though I am critical or judgmental of society at large, I'm not critical of people individually. We are who we are.
有很多事情人们做得很开心,我无法想象他们为什么会这样做……但我必须说,尽管我对整个社会持批评或评判态度,但我并不对个人持批评态度。我们就是我们。
The white men in the East are like birds. They are hatching out their eggs every year, and there is not room enough in the East, and they must go elsewhere; and they come out West, as you have seen them coming for the last few years.
东部的白人就像鸟一样。它们每年都在孵蛋,东方没有足够的空间,它们必须到别的地方去;他们来到西方,就像你们在过去几年看到的那样。
I think some people record songs and make records a certain way to cater to radio. If you're born to make commercial music that's cool. But if you're born to not make commercial records, maybe you're meant to cater to another market.
我认为有些人录制歌曲和录制唱片是为了迎合广播。如果你生来就是做商业音乐的,那很酷。但如果你生来就不做商业唱片,也许你注定要迎合另一个市场。
There was a misconception about me when I started off because I had my hair greased up and I have some vague resemblance to the hillbilly gene pool that Elvis came from. People would say, 'You want to be Elvis' and I would say, 'No'.
刚开始的时候,人们对我有一种误解,因为我把头发涂上了油脂,而且我和埃尔维斯的乡下人基因库有一些模糊的相似之处。人们会说,‘你想成为猫王’,而我会说,‘不’。
A lot of emotional stress that people go through, some people figure out a way to handle it. They have a strong enough support system to keep going and keep moving forward. And some people, they feel like they don't have that outlet.
人们会经历很多情感上的压力,有些人会想办法处理它。他们有足够强大的支持体系来继续前进。而有些人,他们觉得自己没有这样的出口。
It's just interesting that people don't really know about the roles that I play that are darker. I kind of do a huge blend of really big light things but also really dark indie things, and it just sort of happens to work out that way.
有趣的是,人们并不知道我所扮演的角色有多黑暗。我做了一个巨大的混合了非常大的光明的东西,但也非常黑暗的独立的东西,它只是碰巧以这种方式工作。
My own experience is use the tools that are out there. Use the digital world. But never lose sight of the need to reach out and talk to other people who don't share your view. Listen to them and see if you can find a way to compromise.
我自己的经验是使用现有的工具。利用数字世界。但永远不要忽视与那些与你观点不同的人交流的必要性。听听他们的意见,看看你是否能找到妥协的办法。
I think that when you get dressed in the morning, sometimes you're really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops, you're saying: 'Hope I don't get chased today.' 'Be nice to people in sneakers.'
我认为,当你早上穿好衣服的时候,有时候你实际上是在决定当天的行为。比如,如果你穿人字拖,你是在说:‘希望我今天不会被追赶。“对穿运动鞋的人好一点。”
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
People and squirrels are very different. Most people will not argue that. But I find that there is one situation in which they're very similar. And that is: when I am driving towards them in my car. Then they're kind of hard to tell apart - especially if the human is kind of hairy.
人和松鼠是非常不同的。大多数人不会这么认为。但我发现有一种情况它们非常相似。那就是:当我开着车向他们驶来的时候。然后它们就很难区分了——尤其是如果人类是多毛的。
Speaking generally, people who are drawn to journalism are interested in what happens from the ground up less than they are from the top down.
一般来说,被吸引到新闻业的人对自下而上发生的事情更感兴趣,而不是自上而下。
Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.
有些人永远学不到任何东西,因为他们理解一切太快。
Month after month, Wizard Academy equips people who want to make a difference. This is why journalists and scientists and artists and educators and business owners and advertising professionals and ministers are attracted to our little school.
一个月又一个月,巫师学院为那些想有所作为的人提供装备。这就是为什么记者、科学家、艺术家、教育家、企业主、广告专业人士和部长们都被我们的小学校所吸引。
No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.
没有人有足够的记忆力成为一个成功的说谎者。
It had been startling and disappointing to me to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming of themselves like grass.
当我发现故事书是由人写的,书并不是自然奇观,而是像草一样自己生长出来的时候,我感到既震惊又失望。
