A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
而
Rather
Feminists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way, great. But I'd rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody.
女权主义者把我烦死了。我听从自己的直觉,如果这对年轻女孩有任何帮助,那就太好了。但我宁愿他们把这更多地看作是跟随自己直觉的一课,而不是模仿别人。
I've always felt that I would rather see an actor, writer, or musician's work, rather than actually know the person. If you know too much about an artist, it somehow lessens their ability to do their work as well.
我总是觉得我宁愿看演员、作家或音乐家的作品,也不愿真正了解这个人。如果你对一个艺术家了解太多,就会削弱他们的工作能力。
A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.
委员会的性质是有机的而不是机械的:它不是一个结构,而是一个工厂。它生根、成长、开花、枯萎、死亡,播下的种子将由其他委员会轮流开花。
Bosses should sanction the nap rather than expect workers to power on all day without repose. They might even find that workers' happiness - or what management types refer to as 'employee satisfaction results' - might improve.
老板们应该批准员工午睡,而不是指望他们整天不休息地工作。他们甚至可能发现,员工的幸福感——或者管理人员所说的“员工满意度结果”——可能会提高。
That the more authoritarian organizations survive and prevail goes generally unnoticed because people focus on the objectives of organizations, which are many and varied, rather than on their structures, which lend to be similar.
更专制的组织能够生存下来并取得胜利,这一点通常没有引起注意,因为人们关注的是组织的目标,这些目标是多种多样的,而不是它们的结构,因为这些结构很相似。
I'd rather say no and have said no and do say no often. I walk away from projects if it doesn't feel right; if it's not the right team of people pulling in together or if the script isn't right. It could be a great idea but the script doesn't work.
我宁愿说不,说过不,也经常说不。如果感觉不对,我就退出项目;如果不是正确的团队或者脚本不正确。这可能是个好主意,但剧本行不通。
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
当我们诚实地问自己生命中谁对我们最重要时,我们常常发现,是那些人,他们没有给出建议、解决方案或治愈方法,而是选择与我们分享痛苦,用温暖而温柔的手触摸我们的伤口。
I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.
我真的没有过那种激动人心的生活。有很多事情我希望我能做,而不是坐在那里抱怨有一个无聊的生活。所以我很喜欢编造。我宁愿讲一个关于别人的故事。
And the camera position, the organization, looking for repeating forms, shapes, trying to set up a visual rhythm seemed to come very natural. All of a sudden I was in a forest of aluminum and steel rather than a forest that we might think of in a traditional sense.
而相机的位置,组织,寻找重复的形式,形状,试图建立一个视觉节奏似乎是非常自然的。突然间,我进入了一片铝和钢的森林,而不是传统意义上的森林。
With the rise of cable, network is clearly floundering because the characters on cable are far more fascinating than they are on network. Network television is trying to figure it out. Network television really relies on story rather than character, and cable relies on character.
随着有线电视的兴起,网络显然陷入了困境,因为有线电视上的角色远比网络上的角色更吸引人。网络电视正试图解决这个问题。网络电视真正依赖的是故事而不是角色,而有线电视依赖的是角色。
So someday in the near future hopefully rather than having a foot or a leg amputated we'll just give you an injection of the cells and restore the blood flow. We've also created entire tubes of red blood cells from scratch in the laboratory. So there are a lot of exciting things in the pipeline.
所以在不久的将来我们希望不是截肢而是给你注射细胞来恢复血液流动。我们还在实验室里从零开始创造了完整的红细胞管。所以有很多令人兴奋的事情在进行中。
When I used to teach civil procedure as a law professor, I would begin the year by telling my students that 'civil procedure is the etiquette of ritualized battle.' The phrase, which did not originate with me, captured the point that peaceful, developed societies resolve disputes by law rather than by force.
当我曾经作为一名法学教授教授民事诉讼时,我会在一开始就告诉我的学生,民事诉讼是仪式化战斗的礼仪。这句话并非出自我之口,它抓住了一个要点,即和平、发达的社会通过法律而不是武力解决争端。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it.
孤独不是你将来必须希望的东西。相反,它是对当下的深化,除非你在当下寻找它,否则你永远不会找到它。
I would rather regret the things i have done than the things i have not.
我宁愿为我做过的事后悔,也不愿为我没有做过的事后悔。
In countries where innocent people are dying, the leaders are following their blood rather than their brains.
在一些无辜人民正在死亡的国家,领导人是在追随他们的鲜血,而不是他们的头脑。
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
但是,让你们在一起有空间,让天空的风在你们之间舞蹈。彼此相爱,但不要让爱成为纽带:让爱成为你们灵魂海岸之间流动的大海。
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'
不要说‘我发现了真理’,而要说‘我发现了真理’。
I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.
我宁愿有无法回答的问题,也不愿有无法质疑的答案。
