A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
Now everybody's got a crazy notion of their own. Some like to mix up with a crowd, some like to be alone. It's no one elses' business as far as I can see, but every time that I go out the people stare at me, with me little ukulele in me hand.
现在每个人都有自己的疯狂想法。有些人喜欢和一群人混在一起,有些人喜欢独处。据我所知,这不关别人的事,但每次我出门,人们都盯着我看,手里拿着小尤克里里琴。
And I think what people in New Jersey have gotten to know about me over the last decade that I've been in public life is what you see is what you get. And I'm no different when I'm sitting with you than I am when I'm at home or anyplace else.
我想,在过去的十年里,新泽西人对我的了解是,我在公共生活中所看到的就是你所得到的。当我和你坐在一起的时候,我和我在家里或其他任何地方的时候没有什么不同。
The land is ours. It's not European and we have taken it, we have given it to the rightful people... Those of white extraction who happen to be in the country and are farming are welcome to do so, but they must do so on the basis of equality.
土地是我们的。它不是欧洲的,我们拿走了,我们把它给了合法的人……那些碰巧在乡下务农的白人是受欢迎的,但他们必须在平等的基础上这样做。
I equate fame towards people who know your work, people who will see your work. But all that stuff, like with the Genies and stuff like that, it was so much fun. It's so much fun and it's nice when it comes, but that's not what it's all about.
我把名声等同于那些知道你作品的人,那些会看到你作品的人。但是所有这些,比如和精灵在一起之类的,都非常有趣。它是如此有趣,当它来的时候很好,但这不是它的全部。
I think the more avenues that open up when people want to publish, the better. Some of the authors that want to jump ship from the traditional houses and go on their own, you know what? Good luck. It's going to be a lot tougher than you think.
我认为,当人们想要发表文章时,开放的途径越多越好。有些作家想要离开传统的家庭,独立生活,你知道吗?祝你好运。这比你想象的要困难得多。
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。
People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constraints, such people have a corpse in their mouth.
那些谈论革命和阶级斗争而不明确提及日常生活,不理解什么是爱的颠覆性,什么是拒绝约束的积极一面的人,他们的嘴里含着一具尸体。
The very concept of history implies the scholar and the reader. Without a generation of civilized people to study history, to preserve its records, to absorb its lessons and relate them to its own problems, history, too, would lose its meaning.
历史的概念本身就意味着学者和读者。如果没有一代文明人来研究历史,保存历史记录,吸取历史教训,并把它们与自身的问题联系起来,历史也将失去其意义。
You have to wait for people to program you. The only difference is the amount of people that you're going to reach but that's going to even out in the next two or three years anyway. Computers are being bought faster than televisions right now.
你必须等待别人为你编写程序。唯一的不同是你能接触到的人的数量,但无论如何,在接下来的两三年内,你能接触到的人的数量将会持平。现在买电脑比买电视还快。
I think a reason that a lot of people feel politically paralysed is that it used to be clear how power was organised. But those who have their hands on the levers of popular culture today have great power - and it isn't even clear who they are.
我认为,许多人感到政治瘫痪的一个原因是,过去人们很清楚权力是如何组织起来的。但是,那些掌握着当今流行文化杠杆的人拥有巨大的权力——甚至不清楚他们是谁。
My beliefs will run through everything I do. My beliefs, my values are my anchor and when people try to drag me, as I know they will, it is to that sense of right and wrong, that sense of who I am and what I believe, to which I will always hold.
我的信念将贯穿我所做的一切。我的信念,我的价值观是我的锚,当人们试图拖着我走的时候,我知道他们会这样做,那是对与错的感觉,那是我是谁的感觉,那是我的信仰,那是我将永远坚持的。
And I realized, when I'd come in to the meetings with these corrugated metal and chain link stuff, and people would just look at me like I'd just landed from Mars. But I couldn't do anything else. That was my response to the people and the time.
我意识到,当我带着这些波纹金属和链环参加会议时,人们会看着我,就像我刚从火星着陆一样。但我无能为力。这是我对人民和时间的回应。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
人们常说“美在观者的眼中”,而我认为关于美最解放的事情就是意识到你是观者。这使我们能够在别人不敢看到的地方发现美,包括我们自己的内心。
If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people.
如果你能做自己最擅长的事,并且快乐,你就比大多数人在生活中走得更远。
If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
如果自由意味着什么,那就是告诉人们他们不想听的话的权利。
There's a little more ego involved in these jobs than people might realize.
这些工作中涉及的自我意识比人们可能意识到的要多一些。
I have travelled all over the world and one thing that amazes me is that I can communicate with people. My story may be different but emotionally we are all the same.
我周游了世界,令我惊讶的一件事是我可以与人交流。我的故事可能不同,但在情感上我们都是一样的。
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。
