A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
现实
Reality
Well, you know, when people say stuff about you, it's always really flattering. But does it mean anything to me? It's not really real to me; there's no reality to it.
嗯,你知道,当人们说你的时候,总是很恭维你。但这对我有什么意义吗?这对我来说并不真实;这是不现实的。
To will and not to do when there is opportunity is in reality not to will; and to love what is good and not to do it, when it is possible, is in reality not to love it
有机会的时候去做而不去做,在现实中就是不去做;爱善而不去做,在可能的时候不去做,实际上就是不去爱
In reality, it si more fruitful to wound than to kill. While the dead man lies still, counting only one man less, the wounded man is a progressive drain upon his side.
事实上,伤害比杀戮更有成效。当死人静静地躺着,只剩下一个人的时候,受伤的人就在他身边逐渐地消耗着体力。
The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.
操纵现实的基本工具是操纵文字。如果你能控制词语的意思,你就能控制那些必须使用词语的人。
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.
最重要的自由是做真实的自己。你用现实换取了一个角色。你放弃了感觉的能力,作为交换,戴上面具。
Time limits are fictional. Losing all sense of time is actually the way to reality. We use clocks and calendars for convenience sake, not because that kind of time is real.
时间限制是虚构的。失去所有的时间意识实际上是通往现实的道路。我们使用时钟和日历是为了方便,而不是因为那种时间是真实的。
I have failed to continue to set an example for a secure, loving family unit as an example for our children. That is the reality of it. There is no way of getting around it.
我没能继续为一个安全、充满爱心的家庭单位树立榜样,为我们的孩子树立榜样。这就是事实。没有办法绕过它。
It I talked about Watergate, I was described as struggling to free myself from the morass. If I did not talk about Watergate, I was accused of being out of touch with reality.
当我谈到水门事件时,我被描述为挣扎着将自己从泥沼中解放出来。如果我不谈论水门事件,我就会被指责脱离现实。
Art is a reality, not a definition; inasmuch as it approaches a reality, it approaches perfection, and inasmuch as it approaches a mere definition, it is imperfect and untrue.
艺术是一种现实,而不是一种定义;因为它接近现实,它就接近完美;因为它接近一个简单的定义,它就不完美,不真实。
Unfortunately, the reality was that, for political reasons or whatever, there was a need to enforce antidiscrimination laws, or at least there was a perceived need to do that.
不幸的是,现实是,出于政治或其他原因,有必要执行反歧视法,或至少有必要这么做。
I think because I try to keep things as real as I can, or I try to start from a place of reality, I almost don't have the imagination to write a book that's not set where I am.
我想,因为我试着让事情尽可能的真实,或者我试着从一个真实的地方开始,我几乎没有想象力去写一本不以我为背景的书。
I think one of the major things a director has to do is to know his subject matter, the subject matter of his script, know the truth and the reality of it. That's very important.
我认为一个导演要做的主要事情之一就是了解他的主题,他剧本的主题,了解真相和现实。这是非常重要的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

现实留给想象的空间很大。
I don't pretend reality is the same for everyone.
我不会假装现实对每个人都是一样的。
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
对于一项成功的技术,现实必须凌驾于公共关系之上,因为自然是不会被愚弄的。
There is a moment when nothing can be wiped out and left behind any more, when there is only reality and reality is horrifying.
有那么一刻,没有什么可以被抹去,也没有什么可以被留下,只有现实,而现实是可怕的。
Love is an attempt to change a piece of a dream world into reality.
爱是一种尝试,把一个梦想的世界变成现实。
Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
我们人生的事业不是要成功,而是要保持良好的精神状态,不断地失败。
