A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
现在
Present
Nowadays we have so many things that take our attention - phones, Internet - and perhaps we need to disconnect from those and focus on the immediate world around us and the people that are actually present.
如今，我们有太多的东西吸引了我们的注意力——手机、互联网——也许我们需要与这些东西断开联系，把注意力集中在我们周围的即时世界和现实生活中的人身上。
Clearing your head of distractions in order to notice and understand the people you are with can feel inefficient - there are so many other people and issues to think about. But being present makes you effective.
为了注意和理解和你在一起的人，清除你的杂念，这会让你感到效率低下——还有很多其他人和问题需要考虑。但活在当下会让你更有效率。
What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past.
重要的是活在当下，活在当下，因为每一刻都是现在。是你当下的想法和行为创造了你的未来。你未来道路的轮廓已经存在，因为你的过去创造了它的模式。
Furthermore, the study of the present surroundings is insufficient: the history of the people, the influence of the regions through which it has passed on its migrations, and the people with whom it came into contact, must be considered.
此外，对目前环境的研究是不够的:必须考虑到人民的历史、它所经过的地区对其移民的影响以及它所接触到的人民。
It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other, in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.
你没有必要离开这所房子。坐在你的桌子旁听。不要听，只要等待。甚至不要等待，完全安静和孤独。世界将向你展示它的真面目，它别无它法，它将狂喜地在你脚下扭动。
I needed to step away from music because the truth was I couldn't be the dad I wanted to be to my kids. My truth was that I could not reconcile the two worlds - the entertainment world and being the dad I wanted to be in the present. You can't substitute time, you just can't.
我需要远离音乐，因为事实是我不能成为我想成为的孩子的父亲。我的真实想法是，我无法调和这两个世界——娱乐世界和我想活在当下的爸爸生活。你无法替代时间，你就是无法。
In history, one gathers clues like a detective, tries to present an honest account of what most likely happened, and writes a narrative according to what we know and, where we aren't absolutely sure, what might be most likely to have happened, within the generally accepted rules of evidence and sources.
在历史上,一个像一个侦探收集线索,试图呈现一个诚实的最可能发生的事情,和写一个故事根据我们所知道的,我们不确定,可能是最有可能发生了什么,在普遍接受的证据规则和来源。

沿着这个主题，再读几句。

Don't live in the past. You might miss the great things happening in your present.
不要活在过去。你可能会错过现在发生的伟大的事情。
The flesh endures the storms of the present alone; the mind, those of the past and future as well as the present. Gluttony is a lust of the mind.
肉体独自承受现在的风暴;过去的、未来的以及现在的思想。暴食是一种精神上的欲望。
Present law has a process to ascertain whether or not a patient is in a persistent vegetative state, and it should not matter what politicians think.
目前的法律有一个程序来确定病人是否处于持续性植物人状态，政客们怎么想都不应该成为问题。
Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is the gift. That's why it's called the present.
昨天是过去，明天是未来，但今天是礼物。这就是为什么它被称为现在。
