A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
When part of what you're trying to get at is the truth hidden under a taboo, or when you want to nail a hypocrisy, laughter is a very useful tool. I want to show the painful side of existence, but there is no question I also want to make people laugh.
当你试图了解隐藏在禁忌之下的真相，或者当你想戳穿虚伪时，笑是一个非常有用的工具。我想展示存在的痛苦的一面，但毫无疑问我也想让人们笑。
When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
当人们谈论写作、说话或思考的自由时，我只能笑。从来没有这样的东西存在过。现在不存在这样的东西;但我希望它会存在。但这一定是在你我不再写信和说话之后的几百年以后了。
I say to people who care for people who are dying, if you really love that person and want to help them, be with them when their end comes close. Sit with them - you don't even have to talk. You don't have to do anything but really be there with them.
我对那些关心濒死之人的人说，如果你真的爱那个人，想要帮助他们，在他们生命垂危的时候和他们在一起。和他们坐在一起——你甚至不需要说话。你不需要做任何事情，只要和他们在一起。
When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people.
当领导人选择让自己成为受欢迎程度的竞标者时，他们在国家建设中的才能将毫无用处。他们将成为奉承者，而不是立法者;人民的工具，而不是向导。
When something like that happens, people want to try to find some dirt and make it more of a soap opera. But I think we both walked away with the door still open, if we want to do something together again. So yeah, I would call it a friendly break-up.
当这样的事情发生时，人们想要找到一些污垢，让它更像一部肥皂剧。但我想如果我们想再一起做点什么的话，我们都是在门还开着的时候离开的。所以，我认为这是一次友好的分手。
People go back to the stuff that doesn't cost a lot of money and the stuff that you don't have to hand money to over and over again. Stuff that you get for free, stuff that your older brother gives you, stuff that you can get out of the local library.
人们回到那些不需要花很多钱的东西上，那些你不需要一遍又一遍地花钱的东西上。你可以免费得到的东西，你哥哥给你的东西，你可以从当地图书馆得到的东西。
Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.
是的，这是一种，我们有点明白了，因为其他来自不同国家的人也尽他们所能在奥运会上获得奖牌或金牌。你知道，如果他们能努力工作，我们也能努力工作。
People would ask me to autograph their bodies and then the next time I'd see them on tour they'd have my autograph tattooed. I decided I wouldn't write on people anymore, but I'd give them arms and legs and if they wanted those autographed I'd do that.
人们会让我在他们的身体上签名，然后下次我在巡演上看到他们的时候，他们会把我的签名纹在身上。我决定不再在人们身上写字了，但我会给他们胳膊和腿，如果他们想要我的亲笔签名，我会那样做。
We now assume that when people turn on the evening news, they basically already know what the news is. They've heard it on the radio. They've seen it on the Internet. They've seen it on one of the cable companies. So that makes our job a bit different.
我们现在假设，当人们打开晚间新闻时，他们基本上已经知道新闻是什么。他们从收音机里听到的。他们在网上看到过。他们在一家有线电视公司上看到过。这让我们的工作有点不同。
I don't know if people feel this way, but I think by nature that when you start off as a young pop singer, they assume that you're a bit pampered, prissy, and precious, or that you live in a bubble and not in the real world. For me that's not the case.
我不知道人们是否有这样的感觉，但我认为，从本质上讲，当你开始作为一个年轻的流行歌手，他们会认为你有点娇生惯养、过分讲究和珍贵，或者你生活在一个虚幻的世界而不是真实的世界。对我来说不是这样的。
There will always be disputes between nations which, at times, will inflame the public and threaten conflicts, but the main thing is to educate the people of the world to be ever mindful that there are better means of settling such disputes than by war.
国与国之间总会有争端，这些争端有时会激怒公众，威胁到冲突，但最重要的是教育世界人民永远记住，解决这些争端有比战争更好的办法。
Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.
进步艺术不仅可以帮助人们了解他们所生活的社会中工作的客观力量，而且可以帮助人们了解他们内心生活中强烈的社会特征。最终，它可以推动人们走向社会解放。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae
你知道，真正重要的是你爱的人幸福健康。其他的都撒在圣代上
I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.
我觉得我们比以前聪明多了。每个人都知道抽象艺术可以是艺术，大多数人知道他们可能不喜欢它，即使他们知道它还有另一个目的。
The most successful politician is he who says what the people are thinking most often in the loudest voice.
最成功的政治家是用最响亮的声音说出人们的想法的人。
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。
I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.
如果一个人今天没有比昨天更聪明，我认为他没有多大价值。
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。
