A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

受到惩罚

Punished

I wish to Christ I could make up a really great lie. Sometimes, after an interview, I say to myself, 'Man, you were so honest - can't you have some fun? Can't you do some really down and dirty lying?' But the puritan in me thinks that if I tell a lie, I'll be punished.

我真希望我能编造一个弥天大谎。有时候,在面试结束后,我对自己说,‘伙计,你太诚实了——难道你就不能找点乐子吗?你就不能撒些下流下流的谎吗?但我内心的清教徒认为,如果我说谎,我就会受到惩罚。

For an entire populace, change, growth, and spontaneity were dangerous. Acting upon a personal desire, whispering a hidden longing, revealing your true feelings - all the human actions we think of as essential to a character - had be censored by the self lest they be punished by the state.

对全体民众来说,变革、成长和自发性是危险的。根据个人的欲望行事,低声诉说隐藏的渴望,揭示你的真实感受——所有我们认为对一个角色至关重要的人类行为——都被自我审查,以免受到国家的惩罚。

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT

给此刻的你,一点向前的力量。
