A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Public
I think once you're in the public eye, whether you're a boss, a teacher or whatever you do, that you're automatically in the position of role model. You have people looking up to you, so whether you choose to accept it or not is a different question.
我认为,一旦你进入公众视野,无论你是老板、老师还是其他什么人,你都会自然而然地成为榜样。你有很多人崇拜你,所以你是否选择接受它是一个不同的问题。
Ever since I began to compose, I have remained true to my starting principle: not to write a page because no matter what public, or what pretty girl wanted it to be thus or thus; but to write solely as I myself thought best, and as it gave me pleasure.
自从我开始写作,我就一直坚持着我最初的原则:不写一页,因为无论什么公众,或什么漂亮女孩想要这样或那样;而是按照我自己认为最好的方式,按照它给我带来的快乐来写作。
There will always be disputes between nations which, at times, will inflame the public and threaten conflicts, but the main thing is to educate the people of the world to be ever mindful that there are better means of settling such disputes than by war.
国与国之间总会有争端,这些争端有时会激怒公众,威胁到冲突,但最重要的是教育世界人民永远记住,解决这些争端有比战争更好的办法。
The different Ministries have to work more on the promotion of the country, to build Kosovo's public image. Concrete projects must be assembled, in order to activate our businessmen to have more contacts. We have to create a positive image about ourselves.
不同的部门必须在促进科索沃的发展方面做更多的工作,以树立科索沃的公众形象。必须把具体的项目集中起来,以便使我们的商人有更多的接触。我们必须给自己树立一个积极的形象。
During practically all of my public life, I have been a sincere advocate of an agreement between the leading nations of the world to set up all the necessary international machinery that would bring about a practical abolition of war between civilized nations.
在我几乎所有的公共生活中,我一直真诚地提倡世界主要国家之间达成一项协议,建立一切必要的国际机制,以实际消除文明国家之间的战争。
So my own suspicion is that the attorney has stopped this prosecution because part of her defence was to question legality and that would have brought his advice into the public domain again and there was something fishy about the way in which he said war was legal.
所以我个人的怀疑是,律师已经停止了起诉,因为她辩护的一部分是质疑合法性,这将把他的建议再次带入公共领域,他说战争是合法的方式有些可疑。
The flowery style is not unsuitable to public speeches or addresses, which amount only to compliment. The lighter beauties are in their place when there is nothing more solid to say; but the flowery style ought to be banished from a pleading, a sermon, or a didactic work.
华丽的风格并不不适合公众演讲或演说,它们只相当于赞美。当没有更实在的东西可说的时候,那些轻浮的美人就在她们的位置上了;但是华丽的风格应该从恳求、布道或说教作品中去除。
If bloggers are to improve our public discourse - helping busy and usually uninformed people make sense of the world - it is necessary to use some sort of standard with which to judge their reliability. Perhaps the answer (strictly advisory) is a body of their peers. Perhaps not.
如果博客作者想要改善我们的公共话语——帮助忙碌且通常无知的人们理解这个世界——就有必要使用某种标准来判断他们的可靠性。或许答案(严格意义上的建议)在于他们的同行。也许不是。

What is inherently wrong with the word 'politician' if the fellow has devoted his life to holding public office and trying to do something for his people?
如果一个人把他的一生都奉献给了担任公职,并试图为他的人民做些什么,那么“政治家”这个词本身就有什么问题?
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.
同行的人很少聚在一起,即使是为了娱乐和消遣,但谈话的结局却是一场针对公众的阴谋,或者是某种提高物价的阴谋。
A public man must never forget that he loses his usefulness when he as an individual, rather than his policy, becomes the issue.
一个公众人士永远不能忘记,当他作为个人而不是他的政策成为问题时,他就失去了自己的作用。
Public discourse has been polluted now for decades by corporate-funded disinformation - not just with climate change but with a host of health, environmental and societal threats. The implications for the planet are grim.
几十年来,公共话语一直受到企业资助的虚假信息的污染——不仅是气候变化,还有一系列健康、环境和社会威胁。这对地球的影响是严峻的。
I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my work and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't entitle everyone to know what happened at home before coming here.
