A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision
Any one watching keenly the stealthy convergence of human lots, sees a slow preparation of effects from one life on another, which tells like a calculated irony on the indifference or the frozen stare with which we look at our unintroduced neighbour.
任何一个敏锐地注视着人类命运的隐秘交汇的人,都会看到一个生命对另一个生命的影响在缓慢地准备着,这就像一个精心策划的讽刺,讽刺我们对未被介绍的邻居的冷漠或冷漠。
For most of human history we have searched for our place in the cosmos. Who are we? What are we? We find that we inhabit an insignificant planet of a hum-drum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are.
在人类历史的大部分时间里,我们一直在宇宙中寻找自己的位置。我们是谁?我们是什么?我们发现自己居住在一颗不起眼的行星上,它是一颗平凡的恒星,迷失在一个星系中,隐藏在宇宙某个被遗忘的角落里,而宇宙中就有这样一个角落。
The relation between a poet and audience is really insignificant. What matters is the poet is hearing something that he is broadcasting. And whether there is anybody with a receiver isn't the reason he does it. He hopes there is somebody receiving it.
诗人和观众之间的关系实在是微不足道。重要的是诗人听到了他正在传播的东西。他这么做的原因不是是否有人带着听筒。他希望有人收到它。
We can continue to try and clean up the gutters all over the world and spend all of our resources looking at just the dirty spots and trying to make them clean. Or we can lift our eyes up and look into the skies and move forward in an evolutionary way.
我们可以继续努力清理世界各地的排水沟,把我们所有的资源都花在那些脏的地方,努力让它们变得干净。或者我们可以抬起眼睛仰望天空,以一种进化的方式前进。
When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
当我准备拍照的时候,我觉得我的脑海中很明显地看到了一些东西,而不是字面上的意思。我感兴趣的是内在的东西,而不是外在的东西。
When you're trying to solve a problem on a new product type, you become completely focused on problems that seem a number of steps removed from the main product. That problem solving can appear a little abstract, and it is easy to lose sight of the product.
当您试图解决一个新产品类型的问题时,您将完全专注于那些与主要产品相分离的问题。这种解决问题的方法可能显得有点抽象,而且很容易忽略产品。
I've always known when I start a story what the last line is. It's always been the case, since the first story I ever wrote. I don't know how it's going to get there, but I seem to need the destination. I need to know where I end up. It never changes, ever.
当我开始写故事的时候,我总是知道最后一行是什么。从我写的第一个故事开始,就一直是这样。我不知道怎么去那里,但我似乎需要目的地。我要知道我的结局。它永远不会改变,永远不会。
The work of art is brought into the world without there being a need for it. The house satisfies a requirement. The work of art is responsible to none; the house is responsible to everyone. The work of art wants to draw people out of their state of comfort.
艺术作品是在不需要它的情况下被带到这个世界上的。这房子符合要求。艺术作品不对任何人负责;房子对每个人都有责任。这件艺术品想把人们从舒适的状态中拉出来。
But it is true that sometimes an enveloping darkness aids one to clearer vision; as in a panorama building, for example, where the obscurity about the entrance prepares one better for the climax, and gives the scene depicted a more real and vivid appearance.
但确实,有时笼罩在黑暗中的东西能帮助人们获得更清晰的视觉;例如,在全景建筑中,入口的朦胧使人更好地为高潮做准备,并使场景描绘得更加真实和生动。
People who don't believe in dreams might mock our dreams or find them funny, but i want to see these dreams... I want to enable Gujarat to dream... I want to create circumstances in which the entire world stands as witness...to Gujarat fulfilling these dreams.
不相信梦的人可能会嘲笑我们的梦,或者觉得它们很有趣,但我想看看这些梦……我想让古吉拉特邦有梦想……我想创造一种环境,让全世界都能见证……为了古吉拉特邦实现这些梦想。
I just think it would be unrealistic to suggest we're going to eliminate every last domestic insurgent in Afghanistan. Certainly, the history of the country would indicate that's not a very realistic objective, and I think we have to have realistic objectives.
我只是认为,建议我们消灭阿富汗境内所有的反叛分子是不现实的。当然,这个国家的历史表明这不是一个非常现实的目标,我认为我们必须有现实的目标。
To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis.
拍照意味着同时在不到一秒的时间内,识别出事实本身,以及赋予它意义的视觉感知形式的严格组织。它是把一个人的头、眼睛和心放在同一个轴上。
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。
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。
Our thoughts and imagination are the only real limits to our possibilities.
我们的思想和想象力是我们可能性的唯一真正限制。
Reading stimulates the imagination and a good imagination can change the world in the most splendid of ways.
阅读能激发想象力,而良好的想象力能以最辉煌的方式改变世界。
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。
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
感恩使我们的过去变得有意义,为今天带来和平,为明天创造愿景。
