A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
问题
Problems
When we talk about settling the world's problems, we're barking up the wrong tree. The world is perfect. It's a mess. It has always been a mess. We are not going to change it. Our job is to straighten out our own lives.
当我们谈论解决世界问题时，我们找错了方向。世界是完美的。这是一个烂摊子。它总是一团糟。我们不会改变它。我们的工作是整顿我们自己的生活。
The human mind prefers to be spoonfed with the thoughts of others, but deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly, begin to think for itself- and such thinking, remember, is original thinking and may have valuable results.
人类的大脑更喜欢被别人的思想所填塞，但是如果失去了这种营养，它就会不情愿地开始为自己思考——记住，这种思考是原创的，可能会产生有价值的结果。
What I have in advance are people I want to write about and a problem or problems that I see those people encountering and that I want to explore - it all proceeds sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, and scene by scene.
我提前准备好了我想要写的人和一个或多个我看到人们遇到的问题，以及我想要探索的问题——这一切都是一步一步、一段一段、一个场景一个场景地进行的。
Life is the acceptance of responsibilities or their evasion; it is a business of meeting obligations or avoiding them. To every man the choice is continually being offered, and by the manner of his choosing you may fairly measure him.
生活是接受责任还是逃避责任;这是一种履行或逃避义务的行为。每一个人的选择都是不断提供的，你可以通过他的选择的方式公平地衡量他。
When you prohibit failure, you kill innovation. If you kill innovation in fundraising, you can't raise more revenue. If you can't raise more revenue, you can't grow. And if you can't grow, you can't possibly solve large social problems.
当你禁止失败，你就扼杀了创新。如果你扼杀了融资中的创新，你就无法获得更多的收入。如果你不能增加收入，你就不能增长。如果你不能成长，你就不可能解决大的社会问题。
Had the Hebrews not been disturbed in their progress a thousand and more years ago, they would have solved all the great problems of civilization which are being solved now under all the difficulties imposed by the spirit of the Middle Ages.
如果希伯来人在一千多年前的发展过程中没有受到干扰，他们就会解决所有伟大的文明问题，而这些问题现在正在中世纪精神强加给他们的所有困难下得到解决。
Most of our "problems" are really nothing more than undealt with discomforts. The moment we get up the resolve to look them in the face and do something about them, they vanish. Our real problems are the ones we are afraid to look in the face.
我们大多数的“问题”实际上只不过是处理不适而已。一旦我们下定决心正视他们并采取行动，他们就会消失。我们真正的问题是那些我们不敢正视的问题。
One of the problems with even suggesting that purpose of a Federal law is for law enforcement officers to assist in protecting the public outside their jurisdictions is that it may give them encouragement or even a sense of obligation to do so.
甚至认为联邦法律的目的是让执法人员协助保护其管辖范围之外的公众，其中一个问题是，这可能会鼓励他们这样做，甚至会给他们一种义务感。
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
领导力就是解决问题。当士兵不再把他们的问题带给你的时候，就是你不再领导他们的时候。他们要么对你的帮助失去信心，要么认为你不在乎。这两种情况都是领导力的失败。
A genocide in Africa has not received the same attention that genocide in Europe or genocide in Turkey or genocide in other part of the world. There is still this kind of basic discrimination against the African people and the African problems.
非洲的种族灭绝没有象欧洲的种族灭绝、土耳其的种族灭绝或世界其他地区的种族灭绝那样受到重视。这种对非洲人民和非洲问题的基本歧视仍然存在。
If a ship has been sunk, I can't bring it up. If it is going to be sunk, I can't stop it. I can use my time much better working on tomorrow's problem than by fretting about yesterday's. Besides, if I let those things get me, I wouldn't last long.
如果一艘船沉没了，我不能把它打捞上来。如果船要沉了，我也阻止不了。我可以更好地利用我的时间来解决明天的问题，而不是为昨天的烦恼。此外，如果我让这些东西抓住我，我不会坚持太久。
The deepest problems of modern life derive from the claim of the individual to preserve the autonomy and individuality of his existence in the face of overwhelming social forces, of historical heritage, of external culture, and of the technique of life.
现代生活中最深刻的问题产生于个人要求在面对压倒一切的社会力量、历史遗产、外部文化和生活技巧时保持其存在的自主性和个性。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.
解决问题时，要从根上挖，而不只是砍叶子。

我认为不同的人对他们作品的展示有不同的问题和不同的关系。
With global warming, I'm never going to time-travel. It's probably going to cause some major emission problems.
随着全球变暖，我再也不打算穿越时空了。这可能会导致一些主要的排放问题。
A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they're not so good, and sympathizes with your problems when they're not so bad.
一个忠诚的朋友会在你的笑话不好的时候笑你，在你的问题不坏的时候同情你。
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
问题不是停止的标志，而是指导方针。
You may face problems and setbacks, but remember, God is still leading the way.
你可能会面临问题和挫折，但请记住，上帝仍然在引导你。
