A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision
If you do not have an absolutely clear vision of something, where you can follow the light to the end of the tunnel, then it doesn't matter whether you're bold or cowardly, or whether you're stupid or intelligent. Doesn't get you anywhere.
如果你对某件事没有一个绝对清晰的愿景,在那里你可以沿着光明走到隧道的尽头,那么你是勇敢还是懦弱,你是愚蠢还是聪明,都没有关系。不会让你有任何收获。
You remember that my great vision came to me when I was only nine years old, and you have seen that I was not much good for anything until after I had performed the horse dance near the mouth of the Tongue River during my eighteenth summer.
您还记得我在九岁的时候就有了一个远大的理想,您也知道,在我十八岁那年夏天在舌河河口附近表演了一场骑马舞之后,我才有了多大的长进。
Leaders of the future will have to be visionary and be able to bring people in - real communicators. These are things that women bring to leadership and executive positions, and it's going to be incredibly valuable and incredibly in demand.
未来的领导者必须有远见卓识,能够把人们带进来——真正的沟通者。这些都是女性带到领导岗位和执行职位上的东西,它们将会非常有价值,非常受欢迎。
I don't think just scaring people is enough. That worked during the freeze days to a major extent, but we really didn't achieve that much even at that time. You have to have more, you have to give people hope and a vision of a better world.
我认为仅仅吓唬人是不够的。在很大程度上,这在冰天雪地的日子里行得通,但即使在那个时候,我们也没有取得多大的成就。你必须拥有更多,你必须给人们希望和一个更美好世界的愿景。
We must strive to encourage East and West not only to move towards each other but also to encourage them to find a new philosophy, a philosophy which will serve as a tool determining the future of Planet Earth - our common and only shelter.
我们必须努力鼓励东方和西方不仅相互靠拢,而且鼓励它们找到一种新的哲学,这种哲学将成为决定地球- -我们共同和唯一的庇护所- -未来的工具。
I think in a way, you're doomed, once you can envision something. You're sort of doomed to make it happen. I've found that the moment I can envision leaving a relationship, that's usually the moment that the relationship starts to fall apart.
我认为在某种程度上,一旦你能想象一些事情,你就注定要失败。你注定要让它发生。我发现当我能想象离开一段关系的时候,通常就是这段关系开始破裂的时候。
Imagine an eye unruled by man-made laws of perspective, an eye unprejudiced by compositional logic, an eye which does not respond to the name of everything but which must know each object encountered in life through an adventure of perception.
想象一只不受透视法的人造法则支配的眼睛,一只不受构成逻辑偏见的眼睛,一只对一切事物的名称没有反应的眼睛,但它必须通过感知的冒险来认识生活中遇到的每一个对象。
Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.
与事实的粗暴接触很快就把我的幻想和梦想赶跑了,取而代之的是社会的恐怖、腐败、邪恶和虚伪。
I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
我发现这个世界上最伟大的事情不在于我们站在哪里,而在于我们朝哪个方向前进:为了到达天堂的港口,我们必须有时迎风航行,有时逆风航行,但我们必须航行,不随波逐流,也不抛锚停泊。
For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most certainly changes your perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us.
对于那些从太空看到地球的人,以及成百上千的人来说,这次经历无疑会改变你的视角。我们在这个世界上分享的东西比那些使我们分裂的东西更有价值。
The short-term vision is: I research on something which I can use tomorrow, and for some politicians it is even better if it's today. But if you do this, you can only do targeted research. If you only do targeted research, you lose the side-routes.
我的短期愿景是:研究一些明天可以使用的东西,对一些政客来说,如果是今天就更好了。但如果你这样做,你只能做有针对性的研究。如果你只做有针对性的研究,你就会迷失方向。
From my very first day in the Mayor's office, I have worked closely with the Council members who share our vision of a city hall that really protects taxpayers and cares... yes... about the little things that make a big difference in people's lives.
从我进入市长办公室的第一天起,我就与市政委员会成员密切合作,他们与我有共同的愿景,那就是建立一个真正保护纳税人、关心他们的市政厅……是的……关于那些对人们的生活产生重大影响的小事。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
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。
Liberty lends us her wings and Hope guides us by her star.
自由借她的翅膀给我们,希望借她的星引导我们。
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。
Persistence of action comes from persistence of vision
行动的坚持来自于愿景的坚持
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。
