A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision
It is instructive, for instance, to trace the computer industry's decline in vision, idealism, creativity, romance and sheer fun as it becomes more and more important and prosperous.
例如,随着计算机行业变得越来越重要和繁荣,追溯其在视觉、理想主义、创造力、浪漫和纯粹乐趣方面的衰落,是很有启发性的。
We had a script that was really solid and we knew how we were going to shoot and how the energy of it was going to go. So it gave us a lot of freedom to use the camera as a character.
我们有一个非常坚实的剧本,我们知道我们将如何拍摄,以及它的能量将如何去。所以它给了我们很大的自由来使用相机作为角色。
If we limit our vision to the real world, we will forever be fighting on the minus side of things, working only too make our photographs equal to what we see out there, but no better.
如果我们把视野局限于现实世界,我们将永远站在事物的对立面,只会让我们的照片与我们在现实世界中看到的一样,但不会更好。
The most essential thing for us was to get the business model right, then put the world-class technology under it to support it. At Merrill, that meant not doing what people expected.
对我们来说,最重要的事情是正确的商业模式,然后把世界级的技术放在它的支持下。在美林,这意味着不按人们的预期行事。
The affairs of life embrace a multitude of interests, and he who reasons in any one of them, without consulting the rest, is a visionary unsuited to control the business of the world.
生活中的事务包含着众多的利益,如果一个人只考虑其中的一个,而不考虑其他的,那么他就是一个不切实际的人,不适合掌控这个世界的事务。
It is, I claim, nonsense to say that it does not matter which individual man acted as the nucleus for the change. It is precisely this that makes history unpredictable into the future.
我认为,说哪一个人是这种变化的核心并不重要,这是一派胡言。正因为如此,历史才无法预测未来。
First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.
首先是思想;然后把这种思想组织起来,形成思想和计划;然后将这些计划转化为现实。正如你将观察到的,开始在你的想象中。
It's all about who's where on the food chain. When I'm the story editor, I expect my writers to follow my vision. When I'm working for another editor, I'm obliged to follow their vision.
关键是谁在食物链的哪个位置。当我是一名故事编辑时,我希望我的作者能追随我的愿景。当我为另一位编辑工作时,我不得不追随他们的眼光。
You are wrong if you think that you can in any way take the vision and tame it to the page. The page is jealous and tyrannical; the page is made of time and matter; the page always wins.
如果你认为你能以任何方式把这个愿景驯服到纸面上,那你就错了。这一页充满嫉妒和专横;书页是由时间和物质构成的;页面总是赢家。
Then washed in the brightness of this vision, I saw how in its radiance would grow and be nourished and suddenly burst into terrible and splendid bloom the blood-red flower of revolution.
然后,在这幻象的光辉中,我看到了那鲜红的革命之花是怎样在它的光辉中生长和滋养的,并突然绽开可怕而灿烂的花朵。
Vision is perhaps our greatest strength... it has kept us alive to the power and continuity of thought through the centuries, it makes us peer into the future and lends shape to the unknown.
视野也许是我们最大的优势……几个世纪以来,它使我们对思想的力量和连续性保持着活力,它使我们展望未来,塑造未知。
The vision of a nation formed from many different peoples bound together by a common love of freedom was staked out long before our lifetimes or even our parents' or grandparents' lifetimes.
在我们的有生之年,甚至在我们的父辈或祖辈的有生之年,由许多不同民族因共同热爱自由而团结在一起而形成的一个国家的愿景就已经确定下来了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Dreams have always expanded our understanding of reality by challenging our boundaries of the real, of the possible.
梦总是通过挑战我们对真实和可能的界限来扩展我们对现实的理解。
Dream always of a peaceful, warless, disarmed world.
永远梦想一个和平、无战争、无武装的世界。
Imagination is a poor substitute for experience.
想象力是经验的拙劣替代品。
Persistence of action comes from persistence of vision
行动的坚持来自于愿景的坚持
Everyone has to learn to think differently, bigger, to open to possibilities.
每个人都必须学会从不同的角度思考,从更大的角度思考,向各种可能性敞开大门。
Freedom is not to defy, it is to co-exist. It is a challenge for the imagination.
自由不是反抗,而是共存。这是对想象力的挑战。
