A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
公共
Public
Part of it has to do with this business of being approached in public. I have a distinctive look - it's partly the glasses I wear - and people seem to remember me once they've seen me.
部分原因在于这种在公共场合接触的方式。我有一个与众不同的外表——部分原因是我戴的眼镜——人们似乎一看到我就会想起我。
You can take wonderfully talented actors, wonderfully talented writers and producers, and, uh, do a wonderful show!... but if it doesn't hit with the public in two minutes, it's bye-bye.
你可以找非常有才华的演员、非常有才华的编剧和制片人，而且，呃，做一个精彩的节目!但是如果它两分钟内没有引起公众的注意，那就拜拜了。
There is a note in the front of the volume saying that no public reading may be given without first getting the author's permission. It ought to be made much more difficult to do than that.
在这本书的前面有一个说明，说没有得到作者的许可，公众不得阅读。这件事应该做得比这困难得多。
But at the beginning it was clear to me that concrete poetry was peculiarly suited for using in public settings. This was my idea, but of course I never really much got the chance to do it.
但一开始，我就很清楚，具体的诗歌特别适合在公共场合使用。这是我的主意，但当然我从来没有真正有机会这么做。
The public treasure has been duly applied to the uses to which it was appropriated by Parliament, and regular accounts have been annually laid before Parliament, of every article of expense.

It's appropriate to celebrate public service, and the thoughtful people who choose to serve. They symbolize what is good and decent about this historic citizen legislature, and we thank them.
这是适当的庆祝公共服务，和深思熟虑的人选择服务。它们象征着这个具有历史意义的公民立法机构的美好和体面，我们感谢它们。
But I quite like that the public has a very short attention span. If I haven't been on telly for a little bit, I can sense it. People don't take as much notice of you, it's really quite palpable.
但我很喜欢公众的注意力持续时间很短。如果我有一段时间没有看电视，我能感觉到。人们不太注意你，这是很明显的。
My position is that since the non-secular status of my garden is not recognised by the law; by the world of the public, then the garden can only be private. So, I closed the garden to the public.
我的立场是，由于我的花园的非世俗地位不受法律承认;被世人所知，那么花园也只能是私人的。所以，我把花园对公众关闭了。
Never use the word 'audience.' The very idea of a public, unless the poet is writing for money, seems wrong to me. Poets don't have an 'audience'. They're talking to a single person all the time.
永远不要用“听众”这个词。“除非诗人是为了钱而写作，否则公众的想法在我看来就是错误的。诗人没有“听众”。他们一直在和一个人说话。
The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.
公众接受或拒绝现代艺术中的任何东西，这种观念仅仅是浪漫主义小说。比赛结束了，奖杯在公众知道发生了什么之前就已经分发出去了。
If the executioner goes, my package will never be made public. If he doesn't go, it will be made public exactly fifty years from the day the bill for a moratorium on capital punishment is defeated.
如果刽子手走了，我的包裹就永远不会公之于众。如果他不去，将在暂停死刑法案被否决的整整五十年后公布。
Then, when the Depression came, all of this changed completely. Since that time, the entire public is of a very different sort and there was not so much support for contemporary music in a direct way.
然后，当大萧条来临时，这一切都彻底改变了。从那时起，整个公众就完全不同了，也没有那么多的人直接支持当代音乐。
