A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

People
We are the most powerful nation in the world, but we're not the only nation in the world. We are not the only people in the world. We are an important people, the wealthiest, the most powerful and, to a great extent, generous. But we are part of the world.
我们是世界上最强大的国家,但我们不是世界上唯一的国家。我们不是世界上唯一的民族。我们是一个重要的民族,最富有、最强大,而且在很大程度上慷慨大方。但我们是世界的一部分。
If I steal money from any person, there may be no harm done from the mere transfer of possession; he may not feel the loss, or it may prevent him from using the money badly. But I cannot help doing this great wrong towards Man, that I make myself dishonest.
如果我从任何人那里偷钱,仅仅转移财产可能不会造成任何伤害;他可能感觉不到损失,或者这可能阻止他不当使用这笔钱。但我无法不这样对待人类,我使自己不诚实。
Some people work hard in this business and become really popular, really big stars but they never receive an award from within the business. Somehow, when your colleagues and friends believe in you to the point of handing you an award it means so much more.
有些人在这个行业工作很努力,成为非常受欢迎的大明星,但他们从来没有获得过来自行业内部的奖励。不知何故,当你的同事和朋友信任你,甚至要给你颁奖时,这意味着更多。
Because when you have millions of people with this kind of need for gratification, and the culture is saying that it's possible for everyone to satisfy all of their needs and desires all of the time, there are obviously going to be clashes - clashes of ego.
因为当数以百万计的人都有这种满足的需求时,文化告诉我们,每个人都有可能随时满足他们所有的需求和欲望,很明显会有冲突——自我冲突。
Even the people who have had success and made money writing these books of fiction seem to feel the need to pretend it's no big deal, or part of a natural progression from poetry to fiction, but often it's really just about the money, the perceived prestige.
即使是那些成功地写了这些小说并赚了钱的人,似乎也觉得有必要假装这没什么大不了的,或者说是从诗歌到小说的自然发展的一部分,但通常情况下,真正重要的只是钱,以及所感知到的声望。
What I'm making music for now is more similar to what I was doing in the beginning. In those days it was all about doing music so when people heard it in a club it would take their minds of their worries. I got more artistic but now I've gone back to basics.
我现在做的音乐和我一开始做的很相似。在那些日子里,音乐就是一切,所以当人们在俱乐部里听到音乐时,他们就会把烦恼抛诸脑后。我变得更有艺术感了,但现在我又回到了基础。
The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens.
最后三到四次是肌肉生长的动力。这种疼痛区把冠军和其他不是冠军的人区分开来。这是大多数人缺乏的,他们没有勇气坚持下去,只是说不管发生什么,他们都会经历痛苦。
Well, when I think of steroids I think of an image. You have the advantage over someone, which is a form of cheating. I guess it wouldn't be right unless it was legal for everybody. Reason it's not legal for everybody is because it can hurt people seriously.
当我想到类固醇时,我想到的是一张图片。你比别人更有优势,这是一种欺骗。我想除非对每个人都合法,否则这是不正确的。它不合法的原因是它会严重伤害人们。
There are a significant number of people who appreciate what we do, and most of them gravitate to Analog because this is where they can find it. The other magazines tend to share their audiences, which may result in each of them having a smaller market share.
有相当多的人欣赏我们所做的事情,他们中的大多数人被模拟技术所吸引,因为这是他们能找到的地方。其他杂志倾向于分享他们的读者,这可能导致他们各自的市场份额更小。
Death used to announce itself in the thick of life but now people drag on so long it sometimes seems that we are reaching the stage when we may have to announce ourselves to death. It is as though one needs a special strength to die, and not a final weakness.
死亡过去常常在生命的壮年宣布它自己,但现在人们拖得太久了,有时我们似乎到了不得不宣布死亡的时候。就好像一个人死的时候需要一种特殊的力量,而不是最终的弱点。
I think people should have the legal right to hurt themselves without fearing that they're going to get locked up for doing so. But on a personal level, if someone I loved was hurting himself or herself in front of me, I would, of course, try to restrain them.
我认为人们应该拥有伤害自己的合法权利,而不必担心他们会因此而被关起来。但就我个人而言,如果我爱的人在我面前伤害了自己,我当然会努力克制他们。
One of the most amazing things about mathematics is the people who do math aren't usually interested in application, because mathematics itself is truly a beautiful art form. It's structures and patterns, and that's what we love, and that's what we get off on.
数学最令人惊奇的事情之一是,做数学的人通常对应用不感兴趣,因为数学本身就是一种美丽的艺术形式。它是结构和模式,这是我们喜欢的,这是我们开始的地方。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
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。
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
People that seem so glorious are all show; underneath they are like everyone else.
看起来那么光荣的人都是显摆出来的;其实他们和其他人没什么不同。
These wealthy people were very interested in contemporary music. They wanted to help diffuse it and get it to be known to other people.
这些有钱人对当代音乐很感兴趣。他们想帮助传播它,让别人知道它。
Honestly, a lot of people thought that I was on top of the world selling so many millions of records, and that this is the life that everybody would want, but I never got to enjoy any of my success.
老实说,很多人认为我是世界上销售数百万张唱片的冠军,这是每个人都想要的生活,但我从来没有享受过我的任何成功。
