A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
漂亮
Pretty
A guitar for me is pretty much strictly in the context of writing songs for my band, coming up with ideas with my band, and then being able to perform those songs as best as I can on stage - that's what the guitar for me has always been.
吉他对我来说是非常严格的在为我的乐队写歌的背景下,提出我的乐队的想法,然后能够在舞台上尽我所能地表演这些歌曲-这就是吉他对我来说一直是。
It means a lot to you, to be out there. The highs are pretty high, and the lows are pretty low. You know, it's easy to feel like you let the team down. I mean, at the end of the day we still got to figure out a way to get through the tie.
这对你来说意义重大。高点很高,低点也很低。你知道,你很容易让团队失望。我的意思是,到最后我们还是要想办法解决这个问题。
I don't like to sit still for long at all, which has probably helped me along the way, and partly why I was drawn to the heat of a restaurant kitchen. The rush of service means that you're always on your toes and keeps a chef pretty active.
我根本不喜欢长时间坐着不动,这可能对我有帮助,也是我被餐馆厨房的高温吸引的部分原因。匆忙的服务意味着你时刻保持警觉,让厨师保持活跃。
I wrote a lot of stuff quickly: pages and pages of notes that seemed pretty incoherent at first. Most of it was taken from the radio because -suddenly being a parent- I'd be confronted by the radio giving a news report every hour of the day.
我很快就写了很多东西:一页又一页的笔记,开始看起来很不连贯。大部分都是从广播中截取的,因为作为一名家长,我突然要面对每天每时每刻都在播报新闻的广播。
I don't want to discredit people's individuality, but I think people are pretty much the same. People are very similar. If you have a good enough imagination then you can feel things that you personally have never done before. That's acting.
我不想贬低人们的个性,但我认为人们基本上是一样的。人们非常相似。如果你有足够的想象力,你就能感觉到你个人从未做过的事情。这是表演。
The truth is, I've been going pretty much nuts all year. I constantly have to fight being scattered. I feel like I'm on automatic pilot from fatigue. The hardest thing is trying to be present, living for the moment, for everybody in the family.
事实上,我这一整年都在发疯。我必须不断地与分散的状态作斗争。我感到疲劳得像自动驾驶一样。最难的事情是活在当下,活在当下,为家里的每一个人。
Yeah, we shot ourselves in the foot right out of the gate. The guy who ran it at first misled pretty much everybody about how much capital we had. He said we had enough to go three years without making money, and we had enough to go three weeks.
是啊,我们一出校门就搬起石头砸了自己的脚。一开始经营这家公司的人在我们有多少资本的问题上误导了几乎所有人。他说我们有足够的钱过三年不赚钱的日子,也有足够的钱过三个星期。
There are interactions with characters within the game which I think are pretty neatly done considering the limitations that you have to work with. I mean, a computer can't really generate a character that talks back and forth with you successfully.
考虑到你必须面对的限制,我认为游戏中与角色之间的互动是非常完美的。我的意思是,电脑不能真正创造出一个能和你成功地来回交谈的角色。
I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.
我真的没有过那种激动人心的生活。有很多事情我希望我能做,而不是坐在那里抱怨有一个无聊的生活。所以我很喜欢编造。我宁愿讲一个关于别人的故事。
A good interpreter can take a piece of bad music and make it sound pretty decent, while a bad interpreter can take good music and make it sound cheap. I can tell that some people have a bad taste, and unlike on the piano, they smear around a lot, that is bad taste.
一个好的翻译可以听一段糟糕的音乐,让它听起来相当不错,而一个糟糕的翻译可以听好音乐,让它听起来很便宜。我能看出来有些人品味很差,不像弹钢琴,他们到处乱涂乱抹,那就是品味很差。
I've pretty much given up on the orange. I really have. I just don't even bother. It's just either sour, or woody, or the skin's too thick. It's very nice when you come across the perfect orange, because it's really a beautiful experience. But the stakes are too high.
我几乎已经放弃吃橙子了。我真的有。我根本就不麻烦。要么是酸的,要么是木质的,要么是皮太厚了。当你遇到完美的橙子时,感觉很好,因为这真的是一种美妙的体验。但风险太高了。
In my gym class, we had something called The Pit, this little alcove where we had to sit if we forgot our gym clothes. It was usually just the crippled kid, the pregnant girl, and me. It was pretty awkward, just hanging with all these freaks who didn't want to show their legs.
在我的体育课上,我们有一个叫做“坑”的地方,这是一个小凹室,如果我们忘了带运动服,我们就得坐在那里。通常只有跛脚的孩子,怀孕的女孩和我。和这些不愿露出腿来的怪胎们在一起,真的很尴尬。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Overall, I think I'm in pretty good shape, but I'm not really someone that is gung-ho or a fitness fanatic.

在我的日常生活中,我很正常。
I've always been pretty energetic.

It is pretty obvious that the debasement of the human mind caused by a constant flow of fraudulent advertising is no trivial thing. There is more than one way to conquer a country.
很明显,持续不断的虚假广告对人类心智的损害并不是一件小事。征服一个国家的方法不止一种。
I wasn't raised with money, so I had to get used to having it. I think I've adjusted to it pretty well.
我不是用钱养大的,所以我必须习惯这样。我想我已经很好地适应了。
