A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

真正

Real

When I was in college, I was debating to try my hand at show business, or to become a professor. I just thought of the risk of not going into show business and always wondering if I would've had a chance. Because that's where my real heart was.

当我上大学的时候,我在考虑是尝试一下演艺圈的工作,还是成为一名教授。我只是想到了不进入演艺圈的风险,总是在想我是否还有机会。因为那才是我真正的心。

A lot of people love the idea of improvising but are terrified of it, so I tried to make a book that was not a chef's book about improvising but a real home cook's book with a real home cook's pantry, supermarket ingredients, that sort of thing.

很多人喜欢即兴创作,但又害怕它,所以我试着写一本不是厨师写的关于即兴创作的书,而是一本真正的家庭烹饪书,里面有真正的家庭厨房,超市的食材,诸如此类的东西。

The idea of eternity lives in all of us. We thirst to live in a belief which raises our small personality to a higher coherence - a coherence which is human and yet superhuman, absolute and yet steadily growing and developing, ideal and yet real.

永生的观念存在于我们每个人心中。我们渴望生活在一种信念中,这种信念能把我们渺小的人格提升到更高的一致性——这种一致性既是人类的,又是超人的,是绝对的,但仍在稳步增长和发展,是理想的,也是现实的。

In a real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.

从真正意义上说,读过优秀文学作品的人比那些不会或不愿读的人活得更长。我们并不是只有一次生命;如果我们能读书,我们就能过上更多的生活,过上我们想过的各种各样的生活。

Which implies that the real issue in art is the audience's response. Now I claim that when I make things, I don't care about the audience's response, I'm making them for myself. But I'm making them for myself as audience, because I want to wake myself up.

这意味着艺术的真正问题在于观众的反应。现在我说,当我做东西的时候,我不关心观众的反应,我是为自己做的。但我把它们作为观众呈现给自己,因为我想唤醒自己。

We don't see the people who are doing real things getting enough props. We often see politicians who are everywhere but nowhere at the same goddamn time. You know the kind of person: You see them everywhere on television but nowhere in front of your face.

我们没有看到真正做事情的人得到足够的支持。我们经常看到政客们在同一时间无处不在。你认识这样的人:你在电视上到处都能看到他们,但却看不到他们出现在你面前。

It's not really like you have a thing like a supermodel anymore. It's more of a word than a real existence. I think, also, looking at it from a designer's point of view, at one point maybe they felt the stars took too much attention away from the clothes.

你不再有超级名模之类的东西了。与其说它是真实存在,不如说它是一个词。我还认为,从设计师的角度来看,他们一度可能觉得明星们把太多的注意力从服装上转移开了。
