A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
玩
Play
Whether you're a quarterback and you just threw a pick, or you're a corner and you just got beat for a touchdown, you've got to have a short-term memory, shake it off and play the next play.
无论你是一个四分卫,你只是投了一个挑球,或者你是一个角球,你只是被击败了一个触地得分,你必须有一个短期记忆,摆脱它,打下一场比赛。
Through their play Barbara imagined their lives as adults. They used the dolls to reflect the adult world around them. They would sit and carry on conversations, making the dolls real people.
芭芭拉通过他们的戏剧想象他们成年后的生活。他们用娃娃来反映周围的成人世界。他们会坐下来继续交谈,把娃娃变成真人。
Yeah. I'm amateurish. I can play enough to write a song, or strum on a little guitar to write out a song. But, I don't play well at all. I wouldn't even attempt for a second to play in public.
是的。我是业余的。我能弹足够写一首歌,或者弹一把吉他就能写一首歌。但是,我打得一点也不好。我甚至不想在公共场合玩一秒钟。
I've never been in a bad play. There might have been bad productions and I might have been bad in them, but I've never been in a play that wasn't interesting or worthwhile doing on some level.
我从来没有演过糟糕的戏。可能有一些糟糕的作品,我也可能演得不好,但我从来没有演过一部在某种程度上不有趣或不值得做的戏。
There comes a point in many people's lives when they can no longer play the role they have chosen for themselves. When that happens, we are like actors finding that someone has changed the play.
在很多人的生活中,都会有这样一个时刻,他们无法再扮演自己选择的角色。当这种情况发生时,我们就像演员一样发现有人改变了剧本。
The only football players in my time were fellows who really loved to play football. They were not in it for the money. There wasn't much money there. They would have played football for nothing.

You get more nervous in front of a lot of people. That's why, when you play a concerto, you play with a small orchestra, in some place where you don't feel that it is as important as Carnegie Hall.

People are always defining and re-defining music. My style of playing has been characterized as smooth jazz and acid jazz. I listen as I play; I'm not caught up in defining the type of music I play.

Number four, we're going to play like winners, play the game the way it's meant to be played. Don't get full of yourself if something good happens. Don't get too depressed when something bad happens.
第四,我们要像胜利者一样比赛,以应有的方式比赛。如果有好事发生,不要自满。当不好的事情发生时,不要太沮丧。
In the middle of a play, I go crazy and don't realize what I'm doing. I'll snap back to reality and I realize, 'Hey, I just ripped that boy's helmet off,' or, 'I'm over here twisting this guy's knee.
在一出戏的中间,我发疯了,没有意识到我在做什么。我会迅速回到现实中,然后我意识到,‘嘿,我刚刚把那个男孩的头盔扯下来了’,或者‘我在这里扭他的膝盖’。

你知道,我不常打种族牌。我有一半黑人血统,一半白人血统,我很自豪——我的皮肤是棕色的。全世界都把我看作一个黑人,但我的母亲并没有把我当作一个黑人抚养成人。她没有把我当白人养大。
