A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
特权
Privilege
I didn't grow up with great privilege, nor did I grow up wanting for anything. I was a middle-class kid and, relative to the rest of the world, that's great wealth.
我成长的过程中并没有什么特权,也没有什么奢求。我是一个中产阶级的孩子,与世界其他地方相比,这是一笔巨大的财富。
However, when the privilege depends solely on the broad, undifferentiated claim of public interest in the confidentiality of such conversations, a confrontation with other values arises.
然而,当特权完全依赖于公共利益对此类对话保密的广泛、无区别的要求时,就会与其他价值观产生冲突。
It is truly a privilege to be able to support all women's causes on a global level. It is remarkable that something as simple as television can empower us to create change and awareness in the world.
能够在全球范围内支持所有妇女的事业,确实是一种特权。值得注意的是,像电视这样简单的东西可以让我们在世界上创造改变和意识。
No matter how many frustrations come along, or how many problems arise, I never lose the feeling of how lucky I am. I'm so pleased to be doing a job that makes me laugh every day. I'm aware that it's a huge privilege.
无论遇到多少挫折,出现多少问题,我都不会失去我是多么幸运的感觉。我很高兴能做一份让我每天都开怀大笑的工作。我知道这是一个巨大的特权。
My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams. It appears that everything I saw and did has a new, and perhaps, more significant meaning, every time I see it. The earth is good. It is a privilege to live thereon.
我的生活就是一个不断实现梦想的过程。似乎每次我看到和做的每件事都有一个新的,也许更重要的意义,每次我看到它。地球是好的。生活在其中是一种特权。
I think that people who live in cultures without quite so much privilege, opportunity or grandiosity have a little bit more respect for the workings of destiny, and the limitations that people can find themselves in through no fault of their own.
我认为,生活在没有那么多特权、机会或浮夸的文化中的人,对命运的运作有更多的尊重,以及人们发现自己所处的局限,而这些局限并不是他们自己的过错。
I mean, I enjoy my work as an actor. But to make a difference in people's lives through advocacy and through supporting research - that's the kind of privilege that few people will get, and it's certainly bigger than being on TV every Thursday for half an hour.
我是说,我喜欢我的演员工作。但通过倡导和支持研究来改变人们的生活——这是很少有人能得到的特权,而且肯定比每周四在电视上看半个小时更重要。
It is an honor and a privilege to be of service and support; however, I realize people are not putting their confidence in me. Instead, they are actually learning to trust themselves. My job is to affirm and support them in the process and teach them to do what I do when I need strength: I begin within.
能够提供服务和支持是一种荣誉和特权;然而,我意识到人们并不信任我。相反,他们实际上是在学习信任自己。我的工作是在这个过程中肯定和支持他们,教他们在我需要力量的时候做我该做的事:我从内心开始。
