A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision
Also by my earliest days, I was fascinated by a utopian vision of what the world could be like. I've thought that science could be the basis for a better world, and that's what I've been trying to do all these years.
同样，在我最初的日子里，我着迷于乌托邦式的世界观。我一直认为科学可以成为一个更美好世界的基础，这也是我这些年一直在努力做的事情。
We accept it because we have seen the vision. We know that we cannot reap the harvest, but we hope that we may so well prepare the land and so diligently sow the seed that our successors may gather the ripened grain.
我们接受它，因为我们看到了愿景。我们知道我们不能收割，但我们希望我们能如此精心地准备土地，如此勤奋地播种种子，以便我们的后继者能够收获成熟的谷物。
It's my goal to make a building as immaterial as possible. Architecture is a very material thing. It takes a lot of resources, so why not eliminate what you don't need as long as you're able to achieve the same result?
我的目标是使建筑尽可能地非物质化。建筑是非常物质的东西。这需要大量的资源，所以只要能够实现相同的结果，为什么不删除不需要的内容呢?
You might say that when you step inside, you're entering a honorific space, but that's something totally different than experiencing it. And in architecture the experience comes first. That has the deepest effect on us.
你可能会说，当你步入其中，你进入了一个令人肃然起敬的空间，但那与体验完全不同。在建筑领域，经验是第一位的。这对我们影响最深。
We are nature. Our every tinkering is nature, our every biological striving. We are what we are, and the world is ours. We are its gods. Your only difficulty is your unwillingness to unleash your potential fully upon it.
我们是自然。我们的每一次修修补补都是自然的结果，我们的每一次生物奋斗都是自然的结果。我们就是我们，世界是我们的。我们是它的神。你唯一的困难是不愿意充分发挥你的潜力。
Ambition is to be the fastest runner on this planet, to be the first on the South Pole, which is a grotesque perversion of ambition. It's an ego trip, and I'm not on an ego trip. I don't have ambitions - I have a vision.
雄心壮志是成为这个星球上跑得最快的人，成为第一个到达南极的人，这是对雄心壮志的一种荒唐的曲解。这是一次自我之旅，我不是在自我之旅。我没有野心，我有远见。
What I had to prove was that I had a dedication and a desire and a passion to do the work and everything else would fall in place because I have a vision that I want to portray and it did and I do it. I don't sell anything.
我需要证明的是我有一种奉献精神，一种渴望，一种热情去做这份工作，其他的一切都会到位，因为我有一个我想要描绘的愿景，它做到了，我也做到了。我什么都不卖。
‘To begin with,’ he said heavily,‘you’ve got to understand that a seagull is an unlimited idea of freedom, an image of the Great Gull, and your whole body, from wingtip to wingtip, is nothing more than your thought itself.’
“首先，”他沉重地说，“你必须明白，海鸥是一种无限的自由观念，是伟大海鸥的形象，你的整个身体，从一个翼梢到另一个翼梢，只不过是你的思想本身。”
We had some major successes and we did so because the country embraced the spirit of Earth Day and embraced this concept that we have to have forward-looking, visionary environmental policy and energy policy in this country.
我们取得了一些重大的成功，之所以这样做，是因为这个国家接受了地球日的精神，接受了我们必须在这个国家制定前瞻性、前瞻性的环境政策和能源政策的理念。
Since I can barely write two books a year the best solution seems to be co-author projects. My goal isn't to get another writer to clone me... it's more to produce a book that shares my vision of positive, fun entertainment.
由于我一年只能写两本书，所以最好的解决方案似乎是合作项目。我的目标不是让另一个作家克隆我……更重要的是写一本书，分享我对积极、有趣的娱乐的看法。
They have been deprived nutritionally, or some illness has not been picked up, or they have not been screened for vision or hearing defects, or they have not had some kind of a chronic illness or error of metabolism picked up.
他们被剥夺了营养，或者一些疾病没有被发现，或者他们没有进行视力或听力缺陷的检查，或者他们没有患有某种慢性疾病或新陈代谢错误。
They want more production and they want it cheaper. But no matter what happens, the creative idea will be perpetuated by somebody who comes up with a vision. I don't care if there are three ceos - it takes one guy with an idea.
他们想要更多的产品，而且想要更便宜。但是无论发生什么，创造性的想法将会被那些有远见卓识的人延续下去。我不在乎是否有三位首席执行官——一个人要有一个想法。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Always have a vivid imagination, for you never know when you might need it.
永远要有生动的想象力，因为你永远不知道什么时候你可能需要它。
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.
没有什么比高效地做根本不应该做的事情更没用的了。
Because imagination created the world, it governs it.
因为想象力创造了世界，所以它统治着世界。
Poetry is not only a set of words which are chosen to relate to each other; it is something which goes much further than that to provide a glimpse of our vision of the world.
诗歌不仅仅是一组相互关联的词语;它远不止于此，它能让我们一瞥我们对世界的看法。
Imagination doesn't always mean looking outside of the box, but taking a closed box and seeing a different world from within it.
想象并不总是意味着往盒子外看，而是从一个封闭的盒子里看一个不同的世界。
Let us fix our attention out of ourselves as much as possible; let us chase our imagination to the heavens, or to the utmost limits of the universe; we never really advance a step beyond ourselves, nor can conceive any kind of existence, but those perceptions, which have appeared in that narrow compass.
让我们尽可能把注意力从自己身上移开;让我们把我们的想象力推向天空，或者宇宙的极限;我们从来没有真正超越自己一步，也不能设想任何一种存在，除了那些已经出现在那个狭窄的范围内的知觉。
