A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
承诺
Promised
Well, we promised our fans that we'd put out records faster, and that's what we're doing. We figured out a way to condense our cycle, so to speak, by... continuing to write, trying to keep the creative ball rolling as often as possible.
嗯，我们向我们的歌迷承诺我们会更快地推出唱片，这就是我们正在做的。我们找到了一种压缩循环的方法，可以说，通过……继续写作，尽可能多地保持创造性。
I realize we're not promised tomorrow. Believe me, I realize that. But if God blesses me and lets me stay, I love my life so much, it is such a good life. I am eager to throw myself at His feet, but I don't want to get on the first busload that is going.
我知道我们明天没有约定。相信我，我知道。但如果上帝保佑我，让我留下来，我很爱我的生活，这是如此美好的生活。我很想拜倒在他的石阶上，但是我不想搭上第一班车。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Apple is in a position they've been in a lot of times before. They're like Moses showing the way to the promised land, but they don't actually go there.
苹果已经处在他们之前很多次所处的位置。他们就像摩西指引通往应许之地的路，但他们并没有真正去那里。
A happy ending was promised, and a happy ending was delivered.
一个幸福的结局被许诺，一个幸福的结局被交付。
Nobody's coming to get us. The secretary has promised. Everybody's promised. They've had press conferences. I'm sick of the press conferences. For God's sake, shut up and send us somebody.
没人会来抓我们。秘书已经答应了。每个人的承诺。他们开了记者招待会。我讨厌新闻发布会。看在上帝的份上，闭嘴，派个人来。
Today we know that centralization and big bureaucracies have not, as promised, been the answer for promoting better opportunities for society.
今天，我们知道，中央集权和庞大的官僚机构并没有如所承诺的那样，成为促进社会获得更好机会的答案。
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
现在就开始吧。未来不属于任何人。
I promised to keep on going but maybe keep on going means coming back first.
我答应会继续下去，但也许继续下去就意味着要先回来。
