A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
之前
Before
If it didn't happen in your life before, then you're not paying attention you don't think it's possible. But almost all important events never happen in your life before.
如果这在你的生活中没有发生过，那么你就没有集中注意力，你认为这是不可能的。但几乎所有重要的事情在你的生活中从未发生过。
I've addressed this before, and I'll say it again: The league has to take a long, hard look at full-time officials. The officiating has been inconsistent all season long.
我以前就说过这个问题，我还要再说一遍:联盟必须对全职官员进行长时间的严格审查。整个赛季的裁判都不稳定。
As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost.
任何一个成年人，只要他认为自己像过去的父母和老师一样，可以变得内省，唤起自己的青春去理解他面前的青春，他就迷失了。
The remedy for thirst? It is the opposite of the one for a dog bite: run always after a dog, he'll never bite you; drink always before thirst, and it will never overtake you.
解渴的良药?这和狗咬人正好相反:追着狗跑，它永远不会咬你;口渴之前一定要喝水，它永远不会追上你。

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.
我仍然持一种相当老式的观点，认为这是我的工作，而且是在公共场所进行的，但这并不意味着每个人都有权在来这里之前知道在家里发生了什么。
Before vampires were aesthetically appealing, they were physical anomalies and ostracized outsiders whom we banished to the dark, and they didn't have the appeal that they do now.
在吸血鬼具有审美吸引力之前，他们是身体上的畸形，排斥我们放逐到黑暗中的外人，他们没有现在这样的吸引力。
There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.

Your future is still before you. Your land is a vast storehouse of mineral and agricultural wealth awaiting further development for the benefit of mankind. It potentialities are magnificent.

If you're going to saute something, lightly spray olive oil in the pan or on veggies before you serve them. It adds a nice flavor. We grill a lot, so I'll use a little on my corn or my shrimp.
如果你要炒什么东西，在上菜之前在锅里或蔬菜上轻轻喷上橄榄油。它增加了美味。我们经常烧烤，所以我会在玉米和虾上放一点。
Sometimes you want to run away, sometimes you think you do, but you never had a dream like this before and you don't want to ask for more, sometimes you leave a mark before you know the score.
有时候你想逃跑，有时候你认为你想逃跑，但是你从来没有做过这样的梦，你不想要更多，有时候你在你知道结果之前就留下了印记。

Preparing to fight wild fires is only part of the solution, we must be more pro-active and prevent the fires before they start, or reduce their intensity by removing forest waste and fuel build up.
做好扑灭野火的准备只是解决问题的一部分，我们必须更加积极主动，在火灾发生之前就加以预防，或者通过清除森林垃圾和燃料积累来降低火灾的强度。
