A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
现实
Reality
Innovation is this amazing intersection between someone's imagination and the reality in which they live. The problem is, many companies don't have great imagination, but their view of reality tells them that it's impossible to do what they imagine.
创新是一个人的想象力和他们所生活的现实之间惊人的交集。问题是，很多公司没有很好的想象力，但是他们对现实的看法告诉他们，不可能做他们想象的事情。
Many have imagined republics and principalities which have never been seen or known to exist in reality; for how we live is so far removed from how we ought to live, that he who abandons what is done for what ought to be done, will rather bring about.
许多人设想了从未在现实中出现过或知道存在过的共和国和君主国;因为我们所行的与所当行的相距甚远，那弃绝已经行的，只取应该行的，反倒要成就。
I've always thought of acting as more of an exercise in empathy, which is not to be confused with sympathy. You're trying to get inside a certain emotional reality or motivational reality and try to figure out what that's about so you can represent it.
我一直认为，表演更多的是一种同理心的练习，不要把它与同情混为一谈。你试图进入一个特定的情感现实或动机现实，并试图弄清楚这是什么，所以你可以代表它。
Fortunately, the war has brought with it not alone a stark realization of what another war would mean to the world, but as well the creation of an international agency through which the nations of the world can, if they so desire, make peace a living reality.
幸运的是，随着战争而来的不仅是对另一场战争对世界将意味着什么的明确认识，而且还建立了一个国际机构，如果世界各国希望通过该机构使和平成为现实。
There exists, if I am not mistaken, an entire world which is the totality of mathematical truths, to which we have access only with our mind, just as a world of physical reality exists, the one like the other independent of ourselves, both of divine creation.
如果我没有弄错的话，存在着一个完整的世界，它是数学真理的总和，我们只有用我们的心灵才能进入它，就像存在着一个物理现实的世界，一个和另一个一样独立于我们自己，都是神的创造。
Every time you get on a stage or in front of a camera, the whole exercise is about imagination. You're constantly depicting something that doesn't exist, and trying to find the reality of it. Once you settle on that premise, everything else is a matter of degrees.
每次你走上舞台或面对镜头，整个练习都是关于想象力的。你总是在描绘一些不存在的东西，并试图找到它的真实。一旦你确定了这个前提，其他一切都只是程度的问题。
These are ideas. I could say that they just came to me, but it would be more accurate to say that I went to them. Ideas - and new connections between ideas - lead you away from commonly held perceptions of reality. Ideas lead you out here. Ideas lead you into the darkness.
这些都是想法。我可以说他们刚来找我，但更准确地说我去找他们了。想法——以及想法之间的新联系——会让你远离对现实的普遍认知。想法把你带到这里。思想把你带入黑暗。
When you see a fish you don't think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen through the water... If I made fins and eyes and scales, I would arrest its movement, give a pattern or shape of reality. I want just the flash of its spirit.
当你看到一条鱼，你不会想到它的鳞片，是吗?你想想它的速度，它浮在水面上闪闪发光的身体……如果我做了鳍、眼睛和鳞片，我就会阻止它的运动，给它一个现实的模式或形状。我只要它精神的闪光。
Some of us may just, in one-on-one conversations with our family, with our friends, over the back fence with our neighbors, talk about the reality of our lives and realize that we're not alone, that we have a right to be physically safe and emotionally safe in our own homes.
我们中的一些人可能只是在与家人、朋友、邻居进行一对一的交谈时，谈论我们生活的现实，意识到我们并不孤单，我们有权利在自己的家里保持身体和情感上的安全。
Celebrity culture, it's everywhere, isn't it? It's reality TV, Big Brother. I didn't become a footballer to be famous, I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day?
名人文化无处不在，不是吗?这是真人秀，老大哥。我不是为了出名而成为一名足球运动员，我是为了成功而成为一名足球运动员。我不想出名。现在人们想出名。为什么?你为什么要别人整天跟着你?
When people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together.
当人们认为地球是平的时候，他们错了。当人们认为地球是球形的时候，他们错了。但是，如果你认为认为地球是球形和认为地球是扁平一样错误，那么你的观点就比这两种观点加起来还要错误。
Candidates don't have to deal with reality. They talk about the wonderful things they can accomplish as if advocating them is the same as achieving them. They live in a world of political make-believe in which everything from reconciling conflicting interests to paying for costly programs is easy.
候选人不必面对现实。他们谈论他们能完成的美妙的事情，好像提倡它们和实现它们是一样的。他们生活在一个政治虚幻的世界里，从调和利益冲突到为昂贵的项目买单，一切都很容易。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
现实不过是一种幻觉，尽管这种幻觉非常顽固。
Sometimes fiction is more easily understood than true events. Reality is often pathetic.
有时小说比真实事件更容易理解。现实往往是可悲的。
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。
The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve but a reality to experience.
生命的奥秘不是一个需要解决的问题，而是一个需要体验的现实。
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。
Reality Leaves a lot to the imagination.
现实留给想象的空间很大。
