A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
问题
Problem
Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat. Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your weaknesses... on your powers, instead of your problems.
参加每一项活动,不要在心理上承认失败的可能性。专注于你的优点,而不是缺点…靠你的能力,而不是你的问题。
I went jogging up on Mulholland. In the middle of my run I had some form of asthma attack and couldn't even walk. I couldn't get a ride one block to my house. I thought I was going to die.
我去穆赫兰慢跑。跑到一半时,我得了哮喘,甚至不能走路。我不能搭一个街区的车到我家。我以为我会死。
To make the argument that the media has a left- or right-wing, or a liberal or a conservative bias, is like asking if the problem with Al-Qaeda is do they use too much oil in their hummus.
要证明媒体有左派、右派、自由派或保守派的偏见,就像问基地组织的问题是否在于他们在鹰嘴豆泥中使用了太多的石油。
Sometimes the situation is only a problem because it is looked at in a certain way. Looked at in another way, the right course of action may be so obvious that the problem no longer exists.
有时情况只是一个问题,因为它是以某种方式看待的。从另一个角度看,正确的行动路线可能是如此明显,以至于问题不再存在。
I invite you, from my sentiments, my convictions and my responsibilities, to work together in the construction of a Uruguay where being young is not suspicious, where aging is not a problem.
我以我的感情、我的信念和我的责任,请你们共同努力,建设一个不怀疑年轻、不存在老化问题的乌拉圭。
The fact that you had disruptions in the peace process was not only in Rwanda. We had the same problem in Cambodia, we had the same problem in Mozambique, we had the same problem in Salvador.

The whole idea of a stereotype is to simplify. Instead of going through the problem of all this great diversity - that it's this or maybe that - you have just one large statement; it is this.
刻板印象的整个概念就是简化。我们没有讨论所有这些多样性的问题——可能是这样,也可能是那样——我们只有一个大命题;它是这样的。
I have a problem with a lot of men's fragrances because they are very strong. Somebody somewhere thinks that masculine means powerful smells, and I find them overbearing and not very pleasant.
我对很多男士香水都有意见,因为它们味道太浓了。有人认为男性化意味着强烈的气味,我发现他们专横跋扈,不太讨人喜欢。
Ask me why I keep on loving you when it's clear that you don't feel the same way for me... the problem is that as much as I can't force you to love me, I can't force myself to stop loving you.
问我为什么我一直爱着你,明明你对我没有同样的感觉……问题是,即使我不能强迫你爱我,我也不能强迫自己不爱你。
Here, the broader issues are already familiar, and discussion has focused at a more sophisticated and detailed level. Within the philosophy of mind, the problem of consciousness is no big news.
在这里,更广泛的问题已经很熟悉了,讨论的重点是更复杂和更详细的层面。在心灵哲学中,意识的问题并不是什么大新闻。
I didn't only have a perceptual problem, I was also so nervous and so upset. The process just didn't work. I lost enthusiasm for school and I flunked second grade. The teachers said I was lazy.
我不仅有知觉问题,我还很紧张,很不安。这个过程就是不管用。我对学校失去了热情,二年级不及格。老师说我很懒。
The fact that I have such a problem that people... that that has to, you know, be on people's mind, what my personal background is. To me, to be very frank with you, is a totally irrelevant thing.
事实上,我有这样一个问题,人们…你知道,我的个人背景是什么,这必须要引起人们的注意。对我来说,坦白地说,这完全无关紧要。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
