A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
玩
Play
If I were to play somebody who ran a fish and chip shop, I would not work in a fish and chip shop for three months. Staring at chips is not going to help me in my performance.
如果我要扮演一个经营炸鱼薯条店的人,我不会在炸鱼薯条店工作三个月。盯着芯片看对我的表现没有帮助。
My dad wanted me to play when I was a kid, so I learned to play the guitar. I pursued a career in music because I love it so much and I enjoy what it does to those who hear it.
我小时候爸爸想让我弹吉他,所以我学会了弹吉他。我从事音乐事业,因为我非常热爱音乐,我喜欢音乐对听众的影响。
The Band was always famous for its retirements; we'd go and play and get a little petty cash together, and then not see each other till it was time to fill our pockets up again.
这支乐队一向以退休而闻名;我们一起去玩吧,弄点儿零用现金,然后等到口袋里又装满东西的时候再见面。
Look, as long as we can make records and sell enough so we can do some shows, that's all I want. You know what? I just want to play guitar and be in a band. Same as I always did.
听着,只要我们能录制唱片,卖得足够好,我们就能做一些节目,这就是我想要的。你知道吗?我只想弹吉他,加入乐队。和以前一样。
Who can map out the various forces at play in one soul? Man is a great depth, O Lord. The hairs of his head are easier by far to count than his feeling, the movements of his heart.
谁能指出在一个灵魂中起作用的各种力量?耶和华阿,人是深渊。他的头发比他的感觉和心的活动更容易计数。
Because I don't play guitar any more, African harmonies and rhythms have been an inspiration to me. I love the raw origin of the sound. It complements my voice and words naturally.
因为我不再弹吉他了,非洲的和声和节奏一直激励着我。我喜欢原始的声音。它自然地补充了我的声音和话语。
It was actually a relief for me to play an actor who was scared, who didn't know where everything was, who didn't know what buttons to push, and for me to be able to play all that.
对我来说,扮演一个担惊受怕的演员,一个不知道一切都在哪里,不知道该按什么按钮的演员,对我来说,能够演好这一切,实际上是一种解脱。
Genius is not a possession of the limited few, but exists in some degree in everyone. Where there is natural growth, a full and free play of faculties, genius will manifest itself.
天才不是少数人的财产,而是在某种程度上存在于每个人身上。只要有自然的成长,才能的充分而自由的发挥,天才就会显现出来。
I'm healthy and excited to play. And I think this year can be a big year for me if I get the opportunity. I can still play the game. I think I can help a team get to the Super Bowl.
我很健康,也很兴奋能打球。我认为如果我有机会,今年对我来说会是一个重要的一年。我还可以玩这个游戏。我想我能帮助一支球队进入超级碗。
Hopefully, I can play both sides of the fence. That's probably what winning the Oscar gives me, the chance to do something with a studio and do other things that I really want to do.

扮演她(凌)很有趣,但我担心人们会在街上惊恐地逃离我。他们以为我会把他们的头咬下来。
I cannot give a single concert at which I do not play one piece after the other in an agony of terror because my memory threatens to fail me. This fear torments me for days beforehand.
我不能在一场音乐会上不演奏一曲又一曲,因为我的记忆力可能要衰退了。这种恐惧折磨了我好几天。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Maintain 'baseball cards' and/or 'believability matrixes' for your people. Imagine if you had baseball cards that showed all the performance stats. You could see what they did well and poorly and call on the right people to play the right positions in a very transparent way.
为你的员工维护“棒球卡”和/或“可信矩阵”。想象一下,如果你有棒球卡,上面显示了所有的性能数据。你可以看到他们做得好与不好,并呼吁正确的人以一种非常透明的方式扮演正确的角色。
I look a lot busier than I am, as I'm actually a rather sporadic, random person and I'll play a few gigs and then disappear for a while.
我看起来比实际上要忙得多,因为我实际上是一个相当散漫、随机的人,我会打几场演出,然后消失一段时间。
I don't want to be with someone boring because I'm always laughing. I like to play jokes on people and be sarcastic.

If you aren't playing well, the game isn't as much fun. When that happens I tell myself just to go out and play as I did when I was a kid.
如果你打得不好,游戏就没有那么有趣了。当这种情况发生时,我告诉自己,就像我小时候一样出去玩。
I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.

When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all.
当你玩的时候,要努力;当你工作的时候,不要玩。
