A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
政客们
Politicians
It is kind of tedious after a while, to parse politicians doing the same thing over and over again. The facts change from week to week, but the sort of masquerade doesn't.
一段时间后，解析政客们一遍又一遍地做同样的事情是有点乏味的。事实每周都在变化，但化妆舞会却没有。
There is one rule for politicians all over the world: Don't say in Power what you say in opposition; if you do, you only have to carry out what the other fellows have found impossible.
世界各地的政客都有一条规则:在野时所说的话，当权时不要说;如果你这样做了，你只需要完成别人认为不可能完成的事情。
Politicians are there to try to deal with stuff, but sometimes it's both fortunate and unfortunate that people like us have more... not involvement, but more power in the stuff that we say.
政客们是来处理问题的，但有时像我们这样的人拥有更多……不是参与，而是在我们所说的事情上有更多的权力。
I have said what I meant and meant what I said. I have not done as well as I should like to have done, but I have done my best, frankly and forth-rightly; no man can do more, and you are entitled to no less.
我说了我的意思，我说的就是我的意思。我并没有做得像我想做的那样好，但我已经尽了最大的努力，坦白地说，我做得很对;没有人能做得更多，而你也有权做得更多。
From my experience, politicians are much more uncomfortable being made fun of than they are being preached at and screeched at - you know, and the soapbox routine. They're much more uneasy knowing they're a target of ridicule.
从我的经验来看，政客们更不愿意被取笑，而不是被说教、被尖叫——你知道，以及被例行公事地说教。当他们知道自己是被嘲笑的对象时，他们会更加不安。
The popular tendency is to listen approvingly to the most extreme statements and claims of politicians and orators who seek popularity by declaring their own country right in everything and other countries wrong in everything.
流行的趋势是赞同地听取政治家和演说家最极端的言论和主张，他们通过宣称自己的国家在任何事情上都是正确的，而其他国家在任何事情上都是错误的，来寻求声望。
I don't totally believe that all of the politicians see a problem with the gap between the scores of black children and other groups. I believe that many politicians think this has been the way it has always been, so what's the problem?
我并不完全相信所有的政客都认为黑人儿童和其他群体之间的差距存在问题。我相信很多政客都认为事情一直都是这样的，那么问题出在哪里呢?
The short-term vision is: I research on something which I can use tomorrow, and for some politicians it is even better if it's today. But if you do this, you can only do targeted research. If you only do targeted research, you lose the side-routes.
我的短期愿景是:研究一些明天可以使用的东西，对一些政客来说，如果是今天就更好了。但如果你这样做，你只能做有针对性的研究。如果你只做有针对性的研究，你就会迷失方向。
I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we - we own this country. We - we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.
女士们，先生们，我想说几句话。我认为这是非常重要的。是你，我们，我们拥有这个国家。我们拥有它。不是你拥有它，也不是政客拥有它。政客是我们的雇员。
I don't think politicians should be allowed into power who are not familiar with their bodies, because that's where our bottom line is. And I know that they would make totally different decisions if they felt responsible simply for their own bodies.
我认为不应该允许不熟悉自己身体的政客掌权，因为这是我们的底线。我知道，如果他们仅仅对自己的身体负责，他们会做出完全不同的决定。
I'd rather have the illusion that (politicians) had ideas and high inspirations and principals, that they foster something in people that makes them want to be part of it instead of all of this exclusion stuff, which is really horrible. Everyone's not the same.
我宁愿幻想(政客)有想法，有高度的灵感和原则，他们在人们身上培养某种东西，使他们想成为其中的一部分，而不是所有这些排斥的东西，这真的很可怕。每个人都不一样。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Politicians fascinate because they constitute such a paradox; they are an elite that accomplishes mediocrity for the public good.
政客之所以吸引人，是因为他们构成了这样一个悖论;他们是一个精英，为了公共利益而完成平庸。
In politics shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.
在政治上，共同的仇恨几乎总是友谊的基础。
Politicians always criticize each other in different ways.
政客们总是用不同的方式互相批评。
Politicians are no different than the rest of the public.
政客和其他公众没有什么不同。
You can't trust politicians. It doesn't matter who makes a political speech. It's all lies - and it applies to any rock star who wants to make a political speech as well.
你不能相信政客。谁做政治演讲并不重要。所有这些都是谎言——同样适用于任何想要发表政治演讲的摇滚明星。
