A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
可怜
Poor
Resolve not to be poor: whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness; it certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some virtues impracticable, and others extremely difficult.
下定决心不要贫穷:无论你拥有什么，都要少花钱。贫穷是人类幸福的大敌;它肯定会破坏自由，使一些美德变得不切实际，而另一些则极其困难。
I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day.
我很幸运来自一个困难的地区。它不仅教你足球，还教你生活。有许多来自不同种族和贫困家庭的孩子。人们不得不挣扎着度过这一天。
Blanche talks about aging, and why should she be considered poor, because physical beauty is transitory and fading and she has such richness of the soul. I think that speech is so beautiful, and so telling and so true.

It is increasingly rare for many of us...to believe that people can be poor, but honest, poor but deserving of respect. Poverty is no longer blamed on anyone but the poor themselves. Contempt for the poor has become a virtue.
对我们许多人来说，这种情况越来越少见了……相信人可以贫穷，但诚实，贫穷但值得尊重。贫穷不再是任何人的责任，而是穷人自己的责任。蔑视穷人已成为一种美德。
Property is not the sacred right. When a rich man becomes poor it is a misfortune, it is not a moral evil. When a poor man becomes destitute, it is a moral evil, teeming with consequences and injurious to society and morality.
财产不是神圣的权利。富人变穷是一种不幸，而不是道德上的罪恶。当一个穷人变得贫困，这是一种道德上的罪恶，充满了后果，有害于社会和道德。
It is not acceptable that we continue to see thousands of acres burn because of forest fires, because of poor management on our forests, big kill, and we have these catastrophic situations take place when we are not able to take action.

Who is affected more when it's cold? Poor people. Who is affected more when it's hot? Poor people. Who is affected more when it's wet? Poor people. Who is most affected when the economy is bad? Poor people. Poor people are the most fragile.
谁在寒冷的时候更容易受到影响?穷人。谁在炎热的时候更容易受到影响?穷人。谁在潮湿的时候更容易受到影响?穷人。当经济不景气时，谁受到的影响最大?穷人。穷人是最脆弱的。
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
勇敢地去做伟大的事情，去赢得光荣的胜利，即使会受到失败的挫折……而不是与那些既不享受也不太受苦的可怜的人为伍，因为他们生活在一个既不知道胜利也不知道失败的灰暗的黎明里。

我父亲出身贫寒，但我很幸运，因为我们从来没有需要过东西。我爸爸决心确保我们不需要任何东西。他想给我们更多的机会，让我们有更好的机会过上更好的生活。

But when others suggested that the poor should not simply be the objects of these programs but also the subjects - that they should be actively involved in shaping the programs, making decisions about how to spend the money etc. - some of the previous supporters reconsidered.
