A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
现实
Reality
You will certainly not doubt the necessity of studying astronomy and physics, if you are desirous of comprehending the relation between the world and Providence as it is in reality, and not according to imagination.
如果你想了解世界和上帝之间的关系,而不是根据想象,你当然不会怀疑学习天文学和物理学的必要性。
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.
文学为现实添彩,而不是简单地描述现实。它丰富了日常生活所需和提供的必要能力;在这方面,它灌溉着我们的生活已经变成沙漠的土地。
We often take for granted that our lights will come on when we flip the light switch, but the reality is that our reliability standards and the current state of the transmission grid leave us all vulnerable to blackouts.
我们常常想当然地认为,当我们打开电灯开关时,我们的灯就会亮起来,但事实是,我们的可靠性标准和输电网络的当前状态让我们都容易受到停电的影响。
I think it affected me physically and emotionally, yes. I did have my ups and downs, but I actually had more ups and downs after the shots were finished and she was pregnant because of the reality of being pregnant with twins.
我认为它影响了我的身体和情感,是的。我的确有起起伏伏,但实际上在注射结束后,我经历了更多的起起落落,她怀孕了,因为她怀上了双胞胎。
It's a reality that in this business there's an expectation of being thin. But having a baby is a reality too, and it's more important for me to make milk than to fit into those tiny pants. So that's just going to have to wait.
这是一个现实,在这个行业有一个瘦的期望。但生孩子也是现实,对我来说,挤牛奶比穿那条小裤子更重要。所以这还需要等待。
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
幻觉把自己呈现在我们面前,因为它们能减轻我们的痛苦,让我们享受快乐。因此,我们必须毫无怨言地接受它,因为有时它们会与一些现实发生冲突,被撞得粉碎。
With photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and, so to speak, renew past experiences at will.
摄影创造了一种新的语言。现在,我们第一次可以用现实来表达现实。我们可以看着一个印象,只要我们愿意,我们可以深入研究它,可以说,恢复过去的经验随意。
Art has no other object than to set aside the symbols of practical utility, the generalities that are conventionally and socially accepted, everything in fact which masks reality from us, in order to set us face to face with reality itself.
艺术没有别的目的,除了把实用价值的象征,那些传统上和社会上被接受的普遍性,所有事实上对我们来说掩盖了现实的东西,放在一边,以便让我们面对现实本身。
I don't like the negative of reality tv - the 'you're no good, so you have to leave, I choose you, but I thought you really loved me.' It's all about how bad people are and I just hate that. I like Pimp my Ride where someone is helping somebody.
我不喜欢电视真人秀的负面效应——‘你不好,所以你必须离开,我选择了你,但我认为你真的爱我。“都是关于人有多坏,我讨厌这样。我喜欢在有人帮助别人的地方拉皮条。
One thus sees that a new kind of theory is needed which drops these basic commitments and at most recovers some essential features of the older theories as abstract forms derived from a deeper reality in which what prevails in unbroken wholeness.
因此,我们需要一种新的理论,这种理论摒弃这些基本的承诺,至多恢复旧理论的一些基本特征,作为抽象形式,从更深的现实中派生出来,在更深的现实中,普遍存在于完整的整体之中。
The pictures we saw before we got down here didn't even touch the reality of what it is like being here. We can be right on the beach with all the devastation and still not be able to imagine what it was like when the wall of water actually came up.
我们来到这里之前看到的照片甚至没有触及这里的真实情况。我们可能正站在海滩上,周围一片狼藉,但仍然无法想象当水墙真正浮出水面时是什么样子。
I have a thing against reality shows. I think they are so fake. I think they are produced before they begin. I think people know where they're going, what they're going to say, what the situation is. These things just don't happen and you know that.
我反对真人秀节目。我觉得它们太假了。我认为它们在开始之前就已经产生了。我认为人们知道他们要去哪里,他们要说什么,情况如何。这些事情不会发生,你知道的。
