A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Performance
Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the "naturals," the ones who somehow know how to teach.
教学是人类唯一的主要职业，我们还没有开发出工具，使一个普通人有能力和表现。在教学中，我们依赖于“自然主义者”，那些不知何故知道如何教学的人。
To boast of a performance which I cannot beat is merely stupid vanity. And if I can beat it that means there is nothing special about it. What has passed is already finished with. What I find more interesting is what is still to come.
吹嘘一场我打不过的表演，纯粹是愚蠢的虚荣。如果我能打败它，那就说明它没什么特别的。过去的已经过去了。我发现更有趣的是还会发生什么。
In the days when corporate downsizing was all the rage, Wall Street took a lot of flak for judging companies too harshly and setting the bar for corporate performance so high that executives felt their only option was to slash payrolls.
在企业裁员风行一时的时代，华尔街受到了很多批评，因为它对企业的评价过于苛刻，并为企业业绩设定了过高的标准，以至于高管们觉得他们唯一的选择就是裁员。
As I had collaborated with visual artists before whether on installations, on performance pieces, in the context of theatre works and as I had taught for a time in art colleges the idea of writing music in response to painting was not alien.
因为我以前和视觉艺术家合作过，无论是在装置上，在表演作品上，在戏剧作品的背景下，还是在艺术学院教过一段时间，创作音乐来回应绘画的想法并不陌生。
I've never been a really big fan of theatre. I don't know why. It's so much for effort. It's much more difficult for me than stage acting just because of the pressure that's piled on you and you have to learn the entire performance by heart.
我从来就不是一个真正的戏剧迷。我不知道为什么。需要付出很多努力。对我来说，这比舞台表演困难得多，因为你承受着巨大的压力，你必须把整个表演背下来。
My first impression when I made it through was 'Good, because I'm going to prove to you that I deserve to be here', because they told me that sometimes I lack confidence in my performance and sometimes I'm not as consistent as they'd like me to be.
当我成功的时候，我的第一印象是“很好，因为我要向你们证明我值得来到这里”，因为他们告诉我，有时我对自己的表现缺乏信心，有时我不像他们希望的那样始终如一。
There are all sorts of reasons why I don't do much work in the theatre, the main one being that after two performances I feel I've given all I can. I hate repetition, I really do. It's like asking a painter to paint he same picture every day of his life.
我在剧院工作不多的原因有很多，其中最主要的原因是在两场演出之后，我觉得我已经尽了我所能。我讨厌重复，真的讨厌。这就像让一个画家每天画他生活中的同一幅画。
I've done my coaching badges, I've got my Pro Licence, but I enjoy what I'm doing now. I'm also the elite performance director of the Welsh FA. The main thing for me was always Liverpool Football Club and my country, Wales - and I'm lucky enough to still be involved with both of them.
我已经完成了我的教练徽章，拿到了职业执照，但我很享受现在的工作。我也是威尔士足球协会的杰出表演总监。对我来说，最重要的是利物浦足球俱乐部和我的祖国威尔士——我很幸运仍然和他们在一起。
'Funny People' is my favorite performance of myself to date. Even though it's a comedy and there are serious moments, I really felt like Leo felt like a real person. It didn't feel like I was playing myself. Whether it's a comedy or drama, I just try to make it as realistic as possible.
“有趣的人”是我迄今为止最喜欢的表演。虽然这是一部喜剧，也有严肃的时刻，但我真的觉得里奥就像一个真实的人。我不觉得自己在玩。无论是喜剧还是剧情片，我都尽量把它拍得逼真。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
He has all those different aspects to him, so I can more or less decide as a performer how I'm going to deliver a line in a particular scene, or play a particular scene in total.
他有所有这些不同的方面，所以我或多或少可以决定作为一个演员，我要如何在一个特定的场景中表达一个台词，或者整体上演奏一个特定的场景。
When I was in Van Halen I was hitting notes that were out of my range. I never went for those registers before until Eddie pulled it out of me.
当我在范哈伦的时候，我弹的音符超出了我的能力范围。我从来没去找过那些收银机，直到艾迪把它从我身上拿出来。
We need improvement in the style of performance. There is no more advantage in a musician who plays and conducts than in one who is only a beater of rhythm.
我们需要改进演出风格。演奏和指挥的音乐家并不比只懂节奏的击球手更有优势。
As far as performance, the roar of the crowd, the smell of the greasepaint no I don't feel that.
至于表演，人群的轰鸣声，油彩的味道不，我感觉不到。
A total commitment is paramount to reaching the ultimate in performance.
全面的承诺对于达到最终的业绩是至关重要的。
Just as the performance of the vilest and most wicked deeds requires spirit and talent, so even the greatest demand a certain insensitivity which under other circumstances we would call stupidity.
正如做最邪恶、最邪恶的事需要精神和才能一样，即使是最邪恶的事也需要某种麻木不仁，在其他情况下，我们称之为愚蠢。
