A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

政治

Political

The big biography of Lincoln necessarily had to do so much with his political career, his ambitions, his accomplishments in public, with less time to spend on his private life, his inner life, and I thought this might be a way of getting at that.

林肯的大传记必然与他的政治生涯,他的抱负,他在公共场合的成就有很大的关系,很少有时间花在他的私人生活,他的内心生活上,我想这可能是一种方法。

I can hardly think of an occasion when I've got into a stand-up fight with any political opponent. I've got my views, people know what they are, they can agree or they can choose to disagree. I'm not going to waste time just rubbishing everybody else.

我几乎想不出有什么场合我曾与任何政治对手进行过单打独斗。我有我的观点,人们知道他们是什么,他们可以同意或者选择不同意。我不会把时间浪费在诋毁别人上。

If this Nation really wants to create an effective border security policy, we need to have a debate that includes a discussion about actual solutions to our problems, which means taking all of the political grandstanding and baiting out of the equation.

如果这个国家真的想要制定一个有效的边境安全政策,我们需要进行一场辩论,其中包括讨论如何切实解决我们的问题,这意味着抛开所有的政治哗众取宠和诱饵。

I think the aim - and certainly the aim of what I've tried to do since leaving - is not political and certainly not a witch hunt at individuals. It's to try to direct our attention at what I believe is a fundamental fault analysis that we must now examine.

我认为,我离开欧盟的目的——当然也是我离开欧盟后一直试图做的事情的目的——不是政治性的,当然也不是针对个人的政治迫害。这是试图把我们的注意力放在我认为是我们现在必须检查的基本错误分析上。

Unfortunately, Climate Science has become Political Science. It is tragic that some perhaps well-meaning but politically motivated scientists who should know better have whipped up a global frenzy about a phenomena which is statistically questionable at best.

不幸的是,气候科学已经变成了政治科学。可悲的是,一些或许是出于好意但有政治动机的科学家本应更了解这一现象,却在全球掀起了一场对这一现象的狂热,而这一现象充其量在统计上是有问题的。

And the political system is changing rapidly in this country, and we better realize that. The elephants or donkeys are not what younger people look to. They look at individual candidates' philosophy, and I think it's a different time and a different generation.

这个国家的政治体制正在迅速变化,我们最好认识到这一点。大象或驴子不是年轻人所期待的。他们关注个别候选人的哲学,我认为这是一个不同的时代,不同的时代。

We should be therefore supporting a larger Europe, and in so doing we should strive to expand the zone of peace and prosperity in the world which is the necessary foundation for a stable international system in which our leadership could be fruitfully exercised.

因此,我们应该支持一个更大的欧洲,在这样做的时候,我们应该努力扩大世界上和平与繁荣的地区,这是一个稳定的国际制度的必要基础,在这个制度中,我们的领导才能能够得到有效的发挥。

KEEP EXPLORING

沿着这个主题,再读几句。

Candidates don't have to deal with reality. They talk about the wonderful things they can accomplish as if advocating them is the same as achieving them. They live in a world of political make-believe in which everything from reconciling conflicting interests to paying for costly programs is easy.

候选人不必面对现实。他们谈论他们能完成的美妙的事情,好像提倡它们和实现它们是一样的。他们生活在一个政治虚幻的世界里,从调和利益冲突到为昂贵的项目买单,一切都很容易。

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT

给此刻的你,一点向前的力量。
