A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
哲学
Philosophy
I'm working harder than ever now, and I'm putting on my pants the same as I always have. I just get up every day and try to do a little better than the day before, and that is to run a great restaurant with great food, great wine, and great service. That's my philosophy.
我现在比以往任何时候都更努力地工作,而且我像往常一样穿裤子。我只是每天起床,试着比前一天做得更好一点,那就是经营一家很棒的餐厅,有很棒的食物、很棒的葡萄酒和很棒的服务。这就是我的哲学。
What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.
信息消耗了什么是相当明显的:它消耗了接收者的注意力。因此,丰富的信息造成注意力的匮乏,需要在可能消耗这种注意力的过量信息源之间有效地分配这种注意力。
As a dad, he thinks that his philosophy is morally correct. He has no conscience whatsoever about letting his kids put a penny in a light socket to find out electricity is not so good for you, and if you want to learn how to swim, you have to be thrown into the deep end.
作为一个父亲,他认为他的哲学在道德上是正确的。他让他的孩子把一分钱放在电灯插座里,发现电对你不好,他一点良心也没有。如果你想学游泳,你就得被扔到深水里。
The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
如果一个社会因为铅管是一项卑贱的活动而蔑视铅管的卓越,又因为哲学是一项崇高的活动而容忍哲学的粗鄙,那么这个社会既不会有好的铅管,也不会有好的哲学。它的管道和理论都站不住脚。
If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.
如果一个人每天有一半的时间是为了爱他们而在树林里散步,那么他就有可能被认为是一个游手好闲的人。但如果他把自己的时间花在投机上,在她之前砍掉那些树木,让地球光秃秃的,他就被认为是一个勤奋进取的公民。
Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.
简单起见,耐心,同情心。 这三个是你最宝贵的财富。 简单的行动和思想,你会回到存在的源头。 对朋友和敌人都有耐心, 你同意事情的发展。 同情自己, 你调和了世界上所有的生命。

沿着这个主题,再读几句。
When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
当你满足于做简单的自己,不攀比或竞争,每个人都会尊重你。
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
有两件事是无限的:宇宙和人类的愚蠢;我对宇宙也不是很确定。
All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves.
所有对他人的谴责都是对我们自己的谴责。
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
重要的是不要停止质疑。好奇心有它存在的理由。
In a situation where many national leaders do the same thing and look out for national interests, and with an issue like global warming, you're likely to get no solution, so I think you have to have some kind of ethical trump on some of those issues.
在很多国家领导人都在做同样的事情,为国家利益着想的情况下,在全球变暖这样的问题上,你很可能得不到解决方案,所以我认为你必须在这些问题上有某种道德上的特朗普。
