A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

People
I think the thing we see is that as people are using video games more, they tend to watch passive TV a bit less. And so using the PC for the Internet, playing video games, is starting to cut into the rather unbelievable amount of time people spend watching TV.
我认为我们看到的是，随着人们越来越多地使用电子游戏，他们倾向于少看一些被动电视。所以用电脑上网，玩电子游戏，开始减少人们花在看电视上的令人难以置信的时间。
I very rarely came across rude or disrespectful people. I don't know how I slipped by all of them, but I honestly can't think of one experience off the top of my head that was like that. I'm sure they're there, but I'd have to think really hard to recall them.
我很少遇到粗鲁无礼的人。我不知道我是怎么从这些经历中溜走的，但说实话，我想不出有哪一次是这样的。我肯定它们在那里，但我得好好想想才能回忆起来。
I just think that there are those people that their resolve is strengthened by what it is that's keeping them down, and there are some people that will buckle under it. You never know which one is which until you get into the eighth or ninth round of the fight.
我只是认为，有些人的决心会因为压制他们的力量而得到加强，有些人会屈服。你永远不知道哪个是哪个，直到你进入第八或第九轮的战斗。
People often complain that music is too ambiguous, that what they should think when they hear it is so unclear, whereas everyone understands words. With me, it is exactly the opposite, and not only with regard to an entire speech but also with individual words.
人们经常抱怨音乐太模糊，当他们听到音乐时应该怎么想太模糊，而每个人都能听懂歌词。对我来说，情况恰恰相反，不仅是在整个演讲中，而且在每个词中都是如此。
I was fortunate that I was at newspapers for eight years, where I wrote at least five or six stories every week. You get used to interviewing lots of different people about a lot of different things. And they aren't things you know about until you do the story.
幸运的是，我在报社工作了八年，每周至少写五六篇报道。你会习惯采访很多不同的人关于很多不同的事情。只有当你写了这个故事，你才会知道这些。
I'd rather have the illusion that (politicians) had ideas and high inspirations and principals, that they foster something in people that makes them want to be part of it instead of all of this exclusion stuff, which is really horrible. Everyone's not the same.
我宁愿幻想(政客)有想法，有高度的灵感和原则，他们在人们身上培养某种东西，使他们想成为其中的一部分，而不是所有这些排斥的东西，这真的很可怕。每个人都不一样。
I think a lot of people of my generation are discomfited by the assertion of neutrality in the mainstream media, this idea that they're the voice of God. I think it's just honest to say, yes, you know where I'm coming from but you can fact-check anything I say.
我想我们这一代的很多人都对主流媒体的中立立场感到困惑，他们认为自己是上帝的声音。我想说实话，是的，你知道我来自哪里，但你可以核实我说的任何话。
Unless we do things in this country to slow down our population, slow down our birth control, provide better water for people, provide power for people, we're gonna find out that the next wars are not going to be fought over diamonds, gold and political things.
除非我们在这个国家采取措施来减缓人口增长，减缓人口控制，为人们提供更好的水，为人们提供电力，否则我们将会发现，下一场战争不会因为钻石、黄金和政治问题而爆发。
I would call it a comedy variety show. We have some people just doing straight standup. We usually try to have one musical act of sort. So its just people being funny in different ways, not just sketch, not just standup, not just characters, all of those things.
我把它叫做喜剧综艺节目。我们有些人只是站着表演。我们通常尝试一种音乐行为。所以这只是人们用不同的方式搞笑，不只是素描，不只是站立，不只是角色，所有这些事情。
People are mostly focused on defending the computers on the Internet, and there's been surprisingly little attention to defending the Internet itself as a communications medium. [We] need to pay some more attention to that, because it's actually kind of fragile.
人们主要关注的是保护互联网上的计算机，但令人惊讶的是，很少有人关注保护互联网本身作为一种通信媒介。(我们)需要对此给予更多关注，因为它实际上有点脆弱。
Why are people unemployed? Because there is no work. Why is there no work? Because people are not buying products and services. Why are people not buying products and services? Because they have no money. Why do people have no money? Because they are unemployed.
为什么人们会失业?因为没有工作。为什么没有工作?因为人们不再购买产品和服务。为什么人们不购买产品和服务?因为他们没有钱。为什么人们没有钱?因为他们失业了。
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。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
People love gossip. It's the biggest thing that keeps the entertainment industry going.
人们喜欢八卦。这是娱乐产业发展的最大动力。
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。
Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
许多政治家习惯于把它作为一个不言自明的命题，即在人们能够充分利用他们的自由之前，没有人应该是自由的。这句格言就像古老故事里的傻瓜，他决定在学会游泳之前不下水。
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。
People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily.
人们常说动力不会持久。洗澡也不行。这就是我们每天推荐它的原因。
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。
