A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
政治
Political
I think that the idea that I'm writing for many more people than I ever imagined has created a certain general responsibility that is literary and political. There's even pride involved, in not wanting to fall short of what I did before.
我认为我为比我想象中更多的人写作的想法已经产生了一种文学和政治上的普遍责任。我甚至有一种自豪感,因为我不想落后于我以前所做的。
It is not to be disguised, that a war has broken out between the North and the South. - Political and commercial men are industriously striving to restore peace: but the peace, which they would effect, is superficial, false, and temporary.
南北之间爆发了战争,这是不可掩饰的。-政治家和商人正在努力恢复和平,但他们所要实现的和平是肤浅的、虚假的和暂时的。
Of course, there's disagreement, ... We're watching a political process unfold, a process that has encouraged debate and compromise -- a constitution that was written in a society in which people recognize that there had to be give and take.”
当然,有分歧,……我们正在目睹一个政治进程的展开,这个进程鼓励了辩论和妥协——在这个社会里,人们认识到必须做出让步。”
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.

The problem is going to be finding the right words and implementing it in a way that is really dealing with people that are inciting and not preventing honest discussion of the underlying causes of this horrendous political situation the world is in now.

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。
Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion.

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.

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.

KEEP EXPLORING

Man is a means and not an end, and he is a means to economic or political ends which are not really ends in themselves but means to other ends which in their turn are means and so ad infinitum.
人是一种手段而不是目的,他是达到经济或政治目的的一种手段,而经济或政治目的本身并不是真正的目的,而是达到其他目的的手段,而这些目的反过来又是手段,如此无穷。
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。
