A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人民
People
I think people are turning inward more now cause the world's got in such a weird, crazy state. I think its making people think more about their life and what it is really that they are doing. And how do we interact with a world that's going crazy? It's a very important time.
我认为人们现在更倾向于内向,因为这个世界正处于如此奇怪、疯狂的状态。我认为这让人们更多地思考他们的生活和他们真正在做什么。我们如何与这个疯狂的世界互动?这是一个非常重要的时刻。
We try to organize the world, which isn't organized the way our brains want to organize it. We tell stories about the people in our lives, we project ideas onto them. We project relationships with people, we make our lives into stories. I don't think we can avoid doing that.
我们试图组织这个世界,而这个世界并不是我们的大脑想要组织它的方式。我们讲述生活中人们的故事,我们把想法投射到他们身上。我们计划与人的关系,我们使我们的生活成为故事。我认为我们不能避免那样做。
The functions of these elders, therefore, determine the power of the people; for a representative is one chosen by others to do in their name what they are entitled to do in their own persons; or rather to exercise the powers which radically inhere in those for whom they act.
因此,这些长老的职责决定了人民的权力;因为代表是由别人选择以他们的名义做他们有权以他们自己的名义做的事;或者更确切地说,是行使他们为之行动的人内在的根本力量。
I had an instinctive feeling that the people who have little or no school training should have something coming into their homes weekly which dealt with their problems in a simple, helpful way... so I wrote in a plain, common-sense way on the things that concerned our people.
我有一种本能的感觉,那些很少或没有接受过学校培训的人应该每周都有一些东西到家里来,用一种简单、有益的方式处理他们的问题……因此,我用一种朴素的、常识性的方式写了有关我们人民的事情。
It's mainly about working hard and proving to people you're serious about it, and stretching yourself and learning. The mistake a lot of actors make, particularly young ones, is allowing themselves to feel that they're the finished articles, the bee's knees, and it's not true.
这主要是关于努力工作,向人们证明你是认真的,伸展自己,学习。很多演员,尤其是年轻演员,都会犯这样的错误,让自己觉得自己是成品,是小人物,但事实并非如此。
It's up to us, the people, to break immoral laws, and resist. As soon as the leaders of a country lie to you, they have no authority over you. These maniacs have no authority over us. And they might be able to put our bodies in prison, but they can't put our spirits in prison.
这取决于我们,人民,去打破不道德的法律,去反抗。一个国家的领导人一旦对你说谎,他们就没有权力控制你。这些疯子对我们没有权威。他们也许能把我们的肉体关进监狱,但他们不能把我们的灵魂关进监狱。
I used to believe, like many people who come from poor backgrounds, that it gave me an edge, but I think that's just something we have to tell ourselves to get by sometimes. I don't believe that anymore. Children of privilege can be just as talented and clever as anybody else.
我曾经相信,就像许多来自贫困家庭的人一样,这给了我一种优势,但我认为这只是我们有时必须告诉自己的事情。我再也不相信了。特权阶层的孩子也可以和其他人一样有才华和聪明。
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.
养成告诉别人谢谢你的习惯。真诚地表达你的感激之情,不求任何回报。真正感激身边的人,你很快就会发现身边还有很多人。真正珍惜生活,你会发现你拥有的更多。
It is fun being a strong person. You feel invincible like you can face anything that comes your way. But you know what sucks being one ? Actually, it is really a damn thing because when people know that you are strong, they think that it is okay to hurt you, over and over again.
做一个坚强的人很有趣。你觉得自己所向无敌,就像你能面对任何事情一样。但你知道什么最糟糕吗?事实上,这真的是一件该死的事情,因为当人们知道你很坚强的时候,他们认为伤害你是可以的,一次又一次。
I think for new artists the hardest thing is putting the face with a name. People maybe heard our song on the radio or something but until they get several impressions of who you are - from whatever it is, whether TV or a live show, I feel like they don't quite connect the dots.
我认为对于新艺术家来说,最难的事情就是给脸起个名字。人们可能在收音机或其他什么地方听到过我们的歌,但直到他们对你有了一些印象——不管是电视还是现场表演,我感觉他们并没有把这些点联系起来。
Our state is in crisis. Our people are hurting. Now is the time when we all must resist the traditional, selfish call to protect your own turf at the cost of our state. It is time to leave the corner, join the sacrifice, come to the center of the room and be part of the solution.
我们的国家正处于危机之中。我们的人民正在遭受痛苦。现在是我们所有人都必须抵制以国家为代价保护自己地盘的传统自私呼声的时候了。是时候离开角落,加入牺牲,来到房间的中心,成为解决方案的一部分。
Sleep makes people calmer, more alert, less fearful - just plain happier, or so I see around me and in me. I am sure that if this great nation were to concentrate on getting more sleep, we would be a happier, more confident people, and that by itself would be a major achievement.
睡眠使人更平静,更警觉,更少恐惧——仅仅是更快乐,或者我看到我的周围和我的内心。我相信,如果这个伟大的国家集中精力获得更多的睡眠,我们将成为一个更快乐、更自信的民族,这本身将是一个重大成就。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
It feels like the more I'm out there in the public eye, the more criticism I get. You need to have confidence - that's what it takes to walk out there and sing a song in front of a huge group of people.
我感觉自己在公众视野中出现得越多,就会受到越多的批评。你需要有信心——这就是走出去,在一大群人面前唱一首歌所需要的。
I don't like to talk much with people who always agree with me. It is amusing to coquette with an echo for a little while, but one soon tires of it.
我不喜欢和总是同意我的人多说话。用回声去卖弄风情,一会儿是有趣的,但很快就会厌倦的。
There's no such thing as bad weather, just soft people.
没有坏天气这种事,只有软弱的人。
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
伟大的人物讨论思想;普通人讨论事件;心胸狭窄的人爱讨论别人。
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。
Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good plays, good company, good conversation - what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.
那些决定把休闲作为心智发展手段的人,那些喜欢好音乐、好书、好画、好剧本、好伙伴、好对话的人——他们是什么?他们是世界上最幸福的人。
