A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

People
I know I'm not a coal miner, but I do long hours and I never complain, and there is nowhere else I'd rather be. So, yeah, that's how I'd define myself. I want to do it right, and prove people wrong once and for all about the myth of child stars.
我知道我不是一个煤矿工人,但我工作时间长,从不抱怨,我也不想去别的地方。这就是我对自己的定义。我想把它做对,并一劳永逸地证明人们错误的关于童星的神话。
It's very hard for me to know what to say about fusion right now, inasmuch as it is not yet scientifically feasible. I just can't understand how so many people are able to predict so much about something that still isn't scientifically possible.
我现在很难知道该怎么说核聚变,因为它在科学上还不可行。我只是不明白为什么这么多人能预测这么多科学上还不可能的事情。
My lord, I will tell you what the case was. I was coming up within a league of the Dutchman, and some of my men were making a mutiny about taking her, and my gunner told the people he could put the captain in a way to take the ship, and be safe.
大人,我来告诉你是怎么回事。我走到离荷兰人不到一海里的地方,我手下的一些人正在造反,要把她抓走。我的炮手对人们说,他可以让船长设法把船抓走,这样就安全了。
I feel sorry for people who have to edit me. Which is why book writing is by far the most enjoyable. Really the only thing it's based on is whether it's good or not. No book editor, in my experience, is getting a manuscript and try to rewrite it.
我为那些不得不编辑我的人感到遗憾。这就是为什么写书是迄今为止最令人愉快的。它唯一的依据就是它是否好。以我的经验,没有一个图书编辑会拿着一份手稿,然后试图重写它。
Most of the people that I went to school with - I went to secondary school - we were educated to go and work in the line at Ford's, and if we were lucky, technical skilled labor. I sort of rejected that, and thought I wanted to do something else.
大多数和我一起上学的人——我上的是中学——我们接受的教育是去福特公司排队工作,如果幸运的话,我们是技术熟练的工人。我拒绝了,我想做点别的。
There are roles I want that my agency might not want me to do because of the subject matter or whatever. Or there are roles that people won't bring to me because they don't think I'll do it. And that is a big strain because an actor wants to act.
有些角色是我想要的,但我的公司可能因为主题或其他原因不希望我担任的。或者有些角色人们不会给我带来,因为他们认为我不会做。这是一个很大的压力,因为演员想要表演。
Lots of people can write a good first page but to sustain it, that's my litmus test. If I flip to the middle of the book and there's a piece of dialogue that's just outstanding, or a description, then I'll flip back to the first page and start it.
很多人都能写出好文章的第一页,但要坚持下去,这是我的试金石。如果我翻到书的中间有一段精彩的对话,或者一段描述,我就会翻回第一页,然后开始。
A lot of these people, these program directors, just like anybody else in the world, even though they're supposed to be leaders in the world, they're followers. They follow what they think someone else is doing, instead of trying to blaze a trail.
很多这样的人,这些项目总监,就像世界上的其他人一样,即使他们被认为是世界上的领导者,他们也是追随者。他们跟随自己认为别人在做的事情,而不是试图开辟一条道路。
I don't know many people, if any, who have had some straight line toward success. I mean, they start here, they work hard, they've got what it takes, and they just go straight to the top over some number of years. Most people get a little failure.
我不知道有多少人,如果有的话,曾经有过通往成功的直线。我的意思是,他们从这里开始,他们努力工作,他们得到了所需的东西,他们只是在几年的时间里直接进入高层。大多数人都会有一点失败。
I feel like the people from Iceland have a different relationship with their country than other places. Most Icelandic people are really proud to be from there, and we don't have embarrassments like World War II where we were cruel to other people.
我觉得冰岛人与他们的国家有着不同于其他地方的关系。大多数冰岛人都为自己来自那里而感到自豪,我们没有像二战那样对他人残忍的尴尬。
The only way you can have it all is by delegating all the running of the home to other people - which I don't ever want to do... So you do it yourself, and it takes time and energy and effort. And if you give it the time, it's profoundly enjoyable.
你能拥有这一切的唯一方法就是把家里所有的事务都委托给别人——我从来不想这么做……所以你自己做,这需要时间、精力和努力。如果你给它时间,它是非常愉快的。
People can get their news any way they want. What I love about what's happened is that there are so many different avenues, there are so many different outlets, so many different ways to debate and discuss and to inquire about any given news story.
人们可以以任何他们想要的方式获得新闻。我喜欢所发生的事情是因为有很多不同的途径,有很多不同的渠道,有很多不同的方式来辩论、讨论和询问任何给定的新闻故事。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
当然,思想开放的问题在于,人们会坚持走过去,并试图把东西放进去。
Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.
在意别人的想法,你就永远是他们的囚犯。
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。
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。
People will stare. Make it worth their while.
人们会盯着看。让他们觉得值得。
