A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

美丽

Beautiful

Standing on soil feels so much different than standing on city pavement; it lets you look inward and reflect and see who you really are, while you see a beautiful, unspoiled land as far as the eye can see. It allows your inner life to grow.

站在泥土上的感觉和站在城市的人行道上有很大的不同;它让你向内看,反思,看到你真正是谁,而你看到一个美丽的,未被破坏的土地,在你的眼睛所能看到的。它让你的内心成长。

If woman had no existence save in the fiction written by men, one would imagine her a person of the utmost importance; very various; heroic and mean; splendid and sordid; infinitely beautiful and hideous in the extreme; as great as a man, some think.

如果女人除了在男人写的小说中没有存在,人们就会把她想象成一个极其重要的人;很不同;英雄的意思是;灿烂的和肮脏的;美到极点,丑到极点;有人认为他和男人一样伟大。

Certainly it is a blessing to have three beautiful kids who are all healthy. God put them here for me to nurture and bring them up and try to keep as close to right as I can. So it's a blessing. It's a big responsibility, but at the same time it's an honor.

当然,有三个健康漂亮的孩子是一件幸事。上帝把他们放在这里,让我来养育他们,抚养他们,并尽可能地让他们接近我的权利。所以这是一种祝福。这是一个很大的责任,但同时也是一种荣誉。

Everyone has the right to walk from one end of the city to the other in secure and beautiful spaces. Everybody has the right to go by public transport. Everybody has the right to an unhampered view down their street, not full of railings, signs and rubbish.

每个人都有权在安全、美丽的空间里从城市的一端走到另一端。每个人都有权乘坐公共交通工具。每个人都有权利在自己的街道上一览无余,而不是到处都是栏杆、标志和垃圾。

When you're a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you're not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You'll know it's there, so you're going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back.

当你是一个木匠在做一个漂亮的五斗橱时,你不会在它的背面使用胶合板,即使它面对着墙,没有人会看到它。你会知道它在那里,所以你要在背面用一块漂亮的木头。

The Deep South has a completely different history, both good and bad, that is fascinating for everybody. It makes people work together who usually don't, and that sounds like a cliche in so many ways, but it actually happened... and it happened because of a beautiful idea.

南方腹地有着完全不同的历史,有好有坏,这对每个人来说都很吸引人。它让那些通常不合作的人们在一起工作,这在很多方面听起来像是陈词滥调,但它确实发生了……它的发生是因为一个美丽的想法。

If Copenhagen were a person, that person would be generous, beautiful, elderly, but with a flair. A human being that has certain propensities for quarrelling, filled with imagination and with appetite for the new and with respect for the old - somebody who takes good care of things and of people.

如果哥本哈根是一个人,这个人应该慷慨,美丽,年老,但有才华。一个人有一定的争吵倾向,充满想象力,对新事物充满欲望,对旧事物充满敬意——一个能很好地照顾人和事的人。

I will say a lot of dancers do such beautiful things for their body and then they smoke a cigarette. I've never been a smoker, but I realized after taking yoga . . . in ballet you're not encouraged to do a lot of breathing. I think in a weird way, a lot of dancers find relief in actually breathing.

我想说的是,很多舞者为他们的身体做了这么漂亮的事情,然后他们吸烟。我从来不抽烟,但练完瑜伽后我意识到……在芭蕾舞中,你不被鼓励做大量的呼吸。我觉得以一种奇怪的方式,很多舞者在呼吸中找到了解脱。
