A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人
Person
I'm a very outgoing person. I'm always happy, I'm one of those people who are always smiling. If somebody described me to somebody else, they'd say the kid with the curly hair with the big smile on his face. I get along with everybody.
我是一个非常外向的人。我总是很快乐,我是那种总是微笑的人。如果有人向别人描述我,他们会说那个卷发的孩子,脸上带着大大的笑容。我和每个人都相处得很好。
I just like observing people - it's something I've done ever since I was a kid, and I got really good at it. That's a big part of why I became a comedian. My audience is filled with every kind of person you can imagine, and I love that.
我只是喜欢观察别人——这是我从小就做的事情,而且我做得很好。这也是我成为喜剧演员的一个重要原因。我的听众中有各种各样你能想象得到的人,我喜欢这样。
A liberal is a person who believes that water can be made to run uphill. A conservative is someone who believes everybody should pay for his water. I'm somewhere in between: I believe water should be free, but that water flows downhill.
自由主义者是相信水可以流到山上的人。保守主义者认为每个人都应该为自己的水付费。我的观点介于两者之间:我认为水应该是免费的,但水是往下坡流的。
They really stay just characters to me. I look at them, and I don't see always the same person up there. And hopefully, people will see that too. Because it's very easy to bore people, and that's a killer. So hopefully that won't happen.
他们对我来说真的只是角色而已。我看着他们,并不是总能在上面看到同一个人。希望大家也能看到。因为这很容易让人厌烦,这是一个杀手。希望这不会发生。
The only description for Nolan in the script was that he's a very bad dresser. I put on a red windbreaker and every other ugly, ill-fitting thing I could dig out. He was potentially written as a clean-cut nerd, but I wanted a darker spin.
诺兰在剧本中唯一的描述就是他的穿着很糟糕。我穿上了一件红色的风衣,穿上了所有我能找到的又丑又不合身的衣服。他有可能被写成一个干净利落的书呆子,但我想要一个更黑暗的版本。
I'll see a photograph of a character and try to copy them on to my face. I think I'm really observant, and thinking how a person is put together, seeing them on the street and noticing subtle things about them that make them who they are.
我会看到一个人物的照片,然后试着把它们复制到我的脸上。我认为我很善于观察,思考一个人是如何组成的,在街上看到他们,注意他们身上的细微之处,正是这些细微之处造就了他们。
If a person studies too much and exhausts his reflective powers, he will be confused, and will not be able to apprehend even that which had been within the power of his apprehension. For the powers of the body are all alike in this respect.
如果一个人研究得太多,用尽了他的思考能力,他就会感到困惑,甚至无法理解他所能理解的东西。因为在这方面,身体的能力都是一样的。
I was this role model for heavy people. But the thing is, I never set out to be a role model at all, and I don't set out to be one now. I won't preach to anyone and tell them how to lose weight. I don't know any better than the next person.
我是胖人的榜样。但问题是,我从来没有想过要成为一个榜样,我现在也没有。我不会对任何人说教,也不会告诉他们如何减肥。我知道的不比别人多。
I know General Grant better than any other person in the country can know him. It was my duty to study him, and I did so day and night, when I saw him and when I did not see him, and now I tell you what I know, he cannot govern this country.
我比这个国家的任何人都更了解格兰特将军。研究他是我的责任,我日日夜夜都在研究他,当我看到他的时候,当我没有看到他的时候。现在我把我所知道的告诉你们,他不能治理这个国家。
I want them to come away with discovering the music inside them. And not thinking about themselves as jazz musicians, but thinking about themselves as good human beings, striving to be a great person and maybe they'll become a great musician.
我想让他们带着发现他们内心的音乐离开。不是把自己想象成爵士音乐家,而是把自己想象成好人,努力成为一个伟大的人,也许他们会成为一个伟大的音乐家。
To me, every interview, even if you love the artist, needs to be somewhat adversarial. Which doesn't mean you need to attack the person, but you do need to look at it like you're trying to get information that has not been written about before.
对我来说,每一次采访,即使你喜欢这位艺术家,也需要有一些敌意。这并不意味着你需要攻击这个人,但是你需要把它看成是你试图获得的信息是以前没有写过的。
I named it that because more or less each person from the band used to play in other bands and when we left respective bands other members from those bands all sort of changed round. It was a big sort of move thing. I got it from that, I suppose.
我之所以这样命名,是因为乐队里的每个人或多或少都曾在其他乐队里演奏过,当我们离开各自的乐队时,乐队里的其他成员都换了乐队。这是一个很大的移动。我想我就是从那里学来的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
If Copenhagen were a person, that person would be generous, beautiful, elderly, but with a flair. A human being that has certain propensities for quarrelling, filled with imagination and with appetite for the new and with respect for the old - somebody who takes good care of things and of people.
如果哥本哈根是一个人,这个人应该慷慨,美丽,年老,但有才华。一个人有一定的争吵倾向,充满想象力,对新事物充满欲望,对旧事物充满敬意——一个能很好地照顾人和事的人。
I'm a person who really doesn't dwell on the past.
我是一个不会沉湎于过去的人。
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。
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night.
人只有经过黑夜的道路才能到达黎明。
A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't.
不读书的人比不读书的人没有任何优势。
