A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

People
People are constantly asking Portia and me if we are going to have children. We thought about it. We love to be around children after they've been fed and bathed. But we ultimately decided that we don't want children of our own. There is far too much glass in our house.
人们总是问我和波西亚我们是不是要生孩子。我们想过了。我们喜欢在孩子们吃过饭、洗过澡之后和他们在一起。但我们最终决定不要我们自己的孩子。我们家的玻璃太多了。
The problem of how we finance the welfare state should not obscure a separate issue: if each person thinks he has an inalienable right to welfare, no matter what happens to the world, that's not equity, it's just creating a society where you can't ask anything of people.
我们如何为福利国家提供资金的问题不应掩盖另一个单独的问题:如果每个人都认为自己拥有不可剥夺的福利权利,不管世界发生什么,那不是公平,而是创造一个你不能向人们提出任何要求的社会。
I think my cooking these days is a lot more relaxed from when I was working in professional kitchens. Spending time in people's kitchens made me realize that people want to eat healthy meals that are easy to prepare, with minimal ingredients that can be made on a budget.
我想我现在的烹饪比我在专业厨房工作时轻松多了。花时间在人们的厨房让我意识到,人们想要吃健康的食物,容易准备,用最少的成分,可以在预算。
Some people are cool with the fact that their bodies bear witness to this great thing they produced, their children, and I understand that. But on a personal level, it makes me feel better that my breasts are not down to my knees when I'm undressed in front of my husband.
有些人很冷静,他们的身体见证了他们所创造的伟大的东西,他们的孩子,我理解这一点。但就我个人而言,当我在丈夫面前脱光衣服时,我的胸部没有低到膝盖以下,这让我感觉更好。
I'm not comfortable being around too many people. I don't like being out in public too much. I don't like going to bars. I don't like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don't always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.
我不喜欢和太多的人在一起。我不太喜欢在公共场合露面。我不喜欢去酒吧。我不喜欢做名人的事。所以我扮演的大多数角色都是那些在朋友圈之外感到不自在的人。
I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it.
我尊重那些充满激情的人。我做的事。但当一个人是法官时,他们不应该把这个带到法官席上。并不是真正的激情,除非在极少数情况下,能很好地服务于板凳席。而是一种理解法律并遵循法律的能力。
A lot of people have this strategy where if they have a hard question they wait to ask it to the end of the interview because they think the person is going to walk out. But what they have to realize is, is that if the person walks out, they have a pretty successful story.
很多人都有这样的策略,如果他们有一个很难回答的问题,他们会等到面试结束时再问,因为他们认为这个人会离开。但是他们必须意识到的是,如果这个人离开了,他们就有了一个非常成功的故事。
It's hard to do it because you gotta look people in the eye and tell 'em they're irresponsible and lazy. And who's gonna wanna do that? Because that's what poverty is, ladies and gentlemen. In this country, you can succeed if you get educated and work hard. Period. Period.
这很难做到,因为你必须看着别人的眼睛告诉他们,他们不负责任,懒惰。谁会想这么做呢?因为这就是贫穷,女士们先生们。在这个国家,如果你接受教育并努力工作,你就能成功。时期。时期。
If we turn our back on the people of this country who need to work for a living, we shouldn't be here, to be honest, because that has to be an essential part of what we do to protect the country, from the standpoint of defense, protect workers and make sure they have jobs.
如果我们将回到这个国家的人民谁需要为谋生而工作,我们不应该在这里,说实话,因为这是我们保护的重要组成部分,从防御的角度来看,保护工人和确保他们有工作。
The Deep South has a completely different history, both good and bad, that is fascinating for everybody. It makes people work together who usually don't, and that sounds like a cliche in so many ways, but it actually happened... and it happened because of a beautiful idea.
南方腹地有着完全不同的历史,有好有坏,这对每个人来说都很吸引人。它让那些通常不合作的人们在一起工作,这在很多方面听起来像是陈词滥调,但它确实发生了……它的发生是因为一个美丽的想法。
People are beginning to understand there is nothing in the world so remote that it can't impact you as a person. It's not just diseases. Economists are now beginning to say if we are going to have good markets in Africa, we're going to have to have healthy people in Africa.
人们开始明白,世界上没有什么东西是如此遥远,以至于它不能影响你作为一个人。不仅仅是疾病。经济学家现在开始说,如果我们要在非洲拥有良好的市场,我们就必须在非洲拥有健康的人口。
I always knew I had a voice and I've always known I could sing, but I was too shy to let it come out. I think it's the hardest thing to do, to sing in front of people. When I finally let go and did it, I realized it's what I'm most talented at and what I love to do the most.
我一直知道我有自己的声音,我一直知道我能唱歌,但我太害羞了,不敢说出来。我认为在众人面前唱歌是最难的事情。当我最终放手去做的时候,我意识到这是我最擅长的,也是我最喜欢做的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

我确实认为提高意识的尝试已经成功。人们现在非常关注性别问题。
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
生活中的许多失败是人们在放弃时没有意识到他们离成功有多近。
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。
People and squirrels are very different. Most people will not argue that. But I find that there is one situation in which they're very similar. And that is: when I am driving towards them in my car. Then they're kind of hard to tell apart - especially if the human is kind of hairy.
人和松鼠是非常不同的。大多数人不会这么认为。但我发现有一种情况它们非常相似。那就是:当我开着车向他们驶来的时候。然后它们就很难区分了——尤其是如果人类是多毛的。
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。
