A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

漂亮

Pretty

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。

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。

关于学习、善意与成长,读一句,再想一想。

Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do.

在一个人的一生中,在成功来临之前,他一定会遇到许多暂时的失败,也许还有一些失败。当失败压倒一个人的时候,最简单、最合乎逻辑的做法就是放弃。这正是大多数男人所做的。
