A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
快乐
Pleasure
Nothing good gets written without the writer suffering along the way, in my opinion. Writing should be a pleasure, but unless you feel almost broken many, many times in the journey to a novel, you haven't pushed yourself hard enough.
在我看来,没有作家在写作过程中不经历痛苦,就不会有好的作品。写作应该是一种乐趣,但除非你在写小说的过程中多次感到几乎崩溃,否则你还没有给自己足够的压力。
I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending.
我喜欢把假期比作孩子听自己喜欢的故事。快乐在于故事以熟悉的方式开始,期待熟悉的转折,熟悉的悬念时刻,熟悉的高潮和结局。
The pains of disconcerted or frustrated habits, and the inherent pleasure there is in following them, are motives which nature has put into our wills without generally caring to inform us why; and she sometimes decrees, indeed, that her reasons shall not be ours.
习惯所带来的痛苦,以及遵循习惯所带来的内在乐趣,都是大自然赋予我们意志的动机,通常我们并不在意为什么要这样做;她有时甚至命令说,她的理由决不是我们的。
Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs, rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys, advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm, retreating to the corner of arm and knee, eager to be reassured, taking pleasure in the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree
在桌子和椅子的两腿之间移动,上升或下降,抓住亲吻和玩具,大胆地向前走,突然警觉起来,退到手臂和膝盖的角落,渴望得到安慰,享受着圣诞树的芳香和光辉
If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.
如果明天我的世界坍塌,我会回顾所有的快乐、兴奋和我有幸拥有的价值。不是悲伤,不是流产,也不是父亲离家出走,而是其他一切的快乐。这就够了。
In a perfect world, I only act when I really want to. I don't do most of the stuff that is out there, but it's a joy and a pleasure to do anything that promotes this higher power - this light, if you will. I just think there aren't enough projects in the world that do that.
在一个完美的世界里,我只会在我真正想做的时候去做。我不做外面的大部分事情,但做任何能提升这种更高力量的事情,都是一种快乐和愉悦——如果你愿意,也可以说是这种光。我只是认为世界上没有足够的项目可以做到这一点。
If we intensify our efforts we can have a cloned baby within a year or two, but I don't know whether we can intensify our efforts to that extent. We're not really under pressure to deliver a cloned baby to this world. What we are under pressure to do is to deliver a cloned baby that is a healthy one.
如果我们加强我们的努力,我们可以在一两年内有一个克隆婴儿,但我不知道我们是否可以加强我们的努力到那个程度。我们并不是真的有压力要把克隆婴儿送到这个世界上。我们所面临的压力是要接生一个健康的克隆婴儿。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to just put my hair under a wig cap and slap on a wig that's already done. It's dress up for your hair!
我不能告诉你,把我的头发放在假发帽下,然后戴上已经戴过的假发,这是多么快乐的一件事。为你的头发精心打扮!
I'm tired of love; I'm still more tired of rhyme; but money gives me pleasure all the time.
我厌倦了爱;我更厌倦押韵;但是钱总是给我带来快乐。
Tragedy delights by affording a shadow of the pleasure which exists in pain.
悲剧的乐趣在于给存在于痛苦中的快乐蒙上一层阴影。
The vine bears three kinds of grapes: the first of pleasure, the second of intoxication, the third of disgust.
葡萄树上结着三种葡萄:第一种是快乐,第二种是陶醉,第三种是厌恶。
Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you don't collect all these tiny successes, the big ones don't really mean anything.
生活是由微小的快乐组成的。幸福是由那些微小的成功组成的。大地震来的太不频繁了。如果你不把这些小的成功都收集起来,那么大的成功就没有任何意义。
I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.
我相信每个人的心灵都能从对他人行善中获得快乐。
