A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
压力
Pressure
We're competing with everything: the beach, the mall, bookstores. Libraries are in a transition right now, caught between two forces, the old ways and technology. Libraries are under a lot of pressure to provide both.
我们在与一切竞争:海滩、商场、书店。图书馆现在正处于转型之中,夹在两股力量之间,一股是旧的方式,另一股是技术。图书馆承受着提供这两种服务的巨大压力。
As a teenager, I put a lot of pressure on myself, and a lot of that, for me, was about finding a moral high ground. As I've grown up, I've decided to abandon that because it made me judgmental and also stressed me out.
作为一个青少年,我给自己施加了很多压力,而其中很大一部分,对我来说,就是要找到一个道德高地。随着我的成长,我决定放弃它,因为它让我做出判断,也给我带来了压力。
I have been under considerable pressure to buy at least a laptop computer. I have always turned the suggestions down for the reason that I have never done creative work on a typewriter. There is to me a lack of empathy.
我一直承受着巨大的压力,至少要买一台笔记本电脑。我总是拒绝这些建议,因为我从来没有在打字机上做过创造性的工作。我缺乏同情心。
The pressure people put on themselves and the rivalry between the teams is much more marked. And I think that's a good thing. As long as that rivalry remains within the spirit of competition, it con only spur everyone on.
人们给自己施加的压力和两队之间的竞争更加明显。我认为这是一件好事。只要这种竞争仍然存在于竞争的精神之中,它只会激励每个人前进。
No one should be so naive as to think that wages among organized groups will not be increased, under pressure if necessary, to make up for increases in the cost-of-living, nor should anyone ordinarily object to such adjustments.
任何人都不应天真地认为,在必要的压力下,有组织团体的工资不会增加,以弥补生活费用的增加,一般也不应有人反对这种调整。
One thing I've had to realize in my career is that I can't do it all. Sometimes we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to make sure we're writing the next hit. There are other people out there, and that's what they do every day, and they have strengths that I don't have.
在我的职业生涯中,有一件事我必须意识到,我不能做所有的事情。有时候,我们给自己施加了很大的压力,以确保我们能写出下一部热门作品。还有其他人,他们每天都在做这些,他们有我没有的优势。
I gave up my struggle with perfection a long time ago. That is a concept I don't find very interesting anymore. Everyone just wants to look good in the photographs. I think that is where some of the pressure comes from. Be happy. Be yourself, the day is about a lot more.
我很久以前就放弃了追求完美的努力。这个概念我已经不怎么感兴趣了。每个人都想在照片上看起来很好。我想这就是一些压力的来源。很高兴。做你自己,这一天意味着更多。
If we intensify our efforts we can have a cloned baby within a year or two, but I don't know whether we can intensify our efforts to that extent. We're not really under pressure to deliver a cloned baby to this world. What we are under pressure to do is to deliver a cloned baby that is a healthy one.
如果我们加强我们的努力,我们可以在一两年内有一个克隆婴儿,但我不知道我们是否可以加强我们的努力到那个程度。我们并不是真的有压力要把克隆婴儿送到这个世界上。我们所面临的压力是要接生一个健康的克隆婴儿。

Some other things I don't miss: the media and the pressure of just being asked to do, and being asked questions every day.
还有一些我不会错过的事情:媒体和每天被要求去做的压力,以及被问到的问题。
