A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人
Person
When I recall today my early youth, I should take the boy that I then was, with the exception of a few individual features, for a different person, were it not for the existence of the chain of memories.
当我回忆起今天我年轻的时候,我应该把那个男孩看作是我当时的样子,除了一些个别的特征外,对于一个不同的人来说,如果不是因为记忆链的存在。
Patriotism has served, at different times, as widely different ends as a razor, which ought to be used in keeping your face clean and yet may be used to cut your own throat or that of an innocent person.
爱国主义在不同的时期,就像剃刀一样,有着截然不同的用途。剃刀本应用来清洁你的脸,但也可能用来割自己或无辜的人的喉咙。
Just before I got down here I had a chance to see Agassi play another game and he smoked another player, which was nice to see. Someone who a lot of people thought couldn't come back and now he's winning.
就在我来到这里之前,我有机会看到阿加西打另一场比赛,他抽了另一名球员,这很好。很多人以为他不会回来了,现在他赢了。
What is exciting is not for one person to be stronger than the other... but for two people to have met their match and yet they are equally as stubborn, as obstinate, as passionate, as crazy as the other.
令人兴奋的不是一个人比另一个人更强大……但两个人遇到了意中人,却和对方一样固执、一样固执、一样热情、一样疯狂。
I'm always watching people over a short time frame, putting them in an extreme position. Sometimes you don't see the humanity in a person because the time frame is so short and the circumstance so extreme.
我总是在短时间内观察人们,把他们置于一个极端的位置。有时候你看不到一个人的人性,因为时间太短,环境太极端。
You had no right to be born; for you make no use of life. Instead of living for, in, and with yourself, as a reasonable being ought, you seek only to fasten your feebleness on some other person's strength.
你没有出生的权利;因为你没有利用生命。作为一个理性的人,你不是为自己而活,为自己而活,为自己而活,为自己而活,你只是想把你的软弱依附在别人的力量上。
With rare exceptions, I feel strongly that McGovern's rule is an appropriate one for us all. The longer I live, the more I observe that carrying around anger is most debilitating to the person who bears it.
除了极少数例外,我强烈认为麦戈文的规则对我们所有人都是适用的。我活得越久,就越能观察到,带着愤怒到处跑,对承受它的人来说,是最让人衰弱的。
I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person, which makes me a better mom. I feel lucky because I have the luxury of working only one or two days a week.
我喜欢工作。工作带给我的自尊和满足感让我成为一个更好的人,让我成为一个更好的妈妈。我感到幸运,因为我有一星期只工作一两天的奢侈。
'Weary Willie' is very real to me. He is a man who has given up. The boat has gone and left him. The cards are stacked against him. He's content to make out with what he's got. He knows he'll go no further.
“疲倦的威利”对我来说很真实。他是一个已经放弃的人。船开走了,离开了他。形势对他不利。他对自己所拥有的一切感到满足。他知道他不会再往前走了。
Well, I think that if you sincerely try to imagine what life is like for another person - not in a mocking way, not in a satirical way, but in a sincere, compassionate way - I don't think that's exploitive.
嗯,我认为,如果你真诚地去想象另一个人的生活是什么样的——不是用嘲笑的方式,不是用讽刺的方式,而是用真诚的、富有同情心的方式——我不认为这是剥削。
I would like to say I've achieved goals, but really, modeling is all luck. You're not really achieving anything. The least hardworking person with a special face can be huge and have a whole world of success.
我想说我已经实现了目标,但实际上,做模特全靠运气。你没有真正取得任何成就。最不努力工作的人,拥有一张特别的脸,也可以是一个巨大的人,拥有一个成功的世界。
Sometimes we think of a creature like a person in a suit, but then you have limitations of two eyes and two legs - they have to see and breathe. I got more into puppetry because it offered more possibilities.
有时我们会想到一个生物,就像一个穿着西装的人,但是你有两只眼睛和两条腿的限制——他们必须看到和呼吸。我更喜欢木偶戏,因为它提供了更多的可能性。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I don't know the first real thing about the dating game. I don't know how to talk to a specific person and connect. I just think you have to go to person by person and do the best you can with people in general.
我对约会游戏一无所知。我不知道如何和一个特定的人交谈并建立联系。我只是认为你必须一个人一个人地去,尽可能地与人相处。
Ultimately, I'm not the most prolific person, but I've been doing this for a long time, and I keep on putting out music. The only thing that drives music is the people who are making it.
最终,我并不是最多产的人,但我已经这样做了很长时间,而且我一直在发布音乐。推动音乐发展的唯一动力是音乐制作者。
We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
我们害怕在乎得太多,害怕别人根本不在乎。
I don't understand the whole dating thing. I know right off the bat if I'm interested in someone, and I don't want them to waste their money on me and take me out to eat if I know I'm not interested in that person.
我不明白约会是怎么回事。如果我对某个人感兴趣,我马上就知道了,我不想让他们把钱浪费在我身上,如果我知道我对那个人不感兴趣,我就带我出去吃饭。
The one thing that does not abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.
唯一不遵守多数决定原则的是一个人的良心。
I don't think I would be a writer if I had stayed in Chile. I would be trapped in the chores, in the family, in the person that people expected me to be.
如果我留在智利,我想我不会成为一名作家。我将被困在家务琐事中,在家庭中,在人们期望我成为的那个人里。
