A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
而
Rather
Doing these parts is not fun. It's challenging, but no fun. It's creepy. I would rather play the guy that throws the touchdown pass and gets carried off the field.
做这些部分并不有趣。这很有挑战性，但没有乐趣。这是令人毛骨悚然的。我宁愿打那个触地得分，然后被带离球场的家伙。
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 never quite envisioned myself a proper doctor under that white coat, but I was interested in the idea of healing and in the psychological dimension rather early on.
我从来没有想象过自己在那件白大褂下会成为一名合格的医生，但我很早就对治愈的想法和心理层面产生了兴趣。
If it is surely the means to the highest end we know, can any work be humble or disgusting? Will it not rather be elevating as a ladder, the means by which we are translated?
如果这确实是达到我们所知道的最高目的的手段，那么任何工作都可以是卑贱的或令人厌恶的吗?难道它不更像是一个梯子，我们被翻译的方式?
My life in general and the thoughts it beholds are never dedicated to a certain road. Rather they flow with the wind, changing directions as the mountains steer them sideways.
总的来说，我的生活和它所包含的思想从来没有献身于某条道路。相反，它们随风而动，随着山脉的倾斜而改变方向。
I mean, I always think when you're an actor you have to be the guy running into the burning building rather than running out of it, if you want to make some noise as an actor.
我的意思是，我总是认为，当你是一个演员的时候，如果你想作为一个演员制造一些噪音，你必须是那个冲进燃烧的大楼而不是跑出大楼的人。
The illness, and the untimely death of my brothers, has made me conscious of the fact that - rather than just think about it - it's crucial that you do today what you want to do.
这场疾病，以及我的兄弟们的英年早逝，让我意识到——而不仅仅是思考——今天做你想做的事是至关重要的。
I'm just saying that there are high quality materials, and when we change them then there should be a way of changing them so that you can celebrate that change - rather than just 'mix it up'.
我只是想说，有高质量的材料，当我们改变它们的时候，应该有一种方法来改变它们，这样你就可以庆祝这种改变，而不是“把它们混在一起”。
It's as though all the terms of a family were present at one time rather than his dad and his mum. Not just a present authority, but the resident memory of what qualifies what else is the case.
就好像一个家庭的所有成员都同时出现，而不是他的父母。不仅是当前的权威，而且是限定了其他情况的常驻内存。
Rather than have it the principal thing in my son's mind, I would gladly have him think that the sun went round the earth, and that the stars were so many spangles set in the bright blue firmament.
我宁愿让他认为太阳绕着地球转，星星在明亮的蓝色天空中闪烁着那么多的光芒，也不愿让他把这件事放在心上。
Mr. Darwin contributes some striking and ingenious instances of the way in which the principle partially affects the chain, or rather network of life, even to the total obliteration of certain meshes.
达尔文先生提供了一些惊人而巧妙的例子，说明了这个原理是如何部分地影响生命的链条，或者说是网络的，甚至是某些网格的完全消失。
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。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I'd rather be strongly wrong than weakly right.
我宁愿大错特错，也不愿勉强正确。
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。
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.
