A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision
A domain name is your address, your address on the Internet. We all have a physical address; we're all going to need an address in cyberspace. They're becoming increasingly important. I believe we'll get to the point where when you're born, you'll be issued a domain name.
域名是你的地址,你在互联网上的地址。我们都有一个实际的地址;我们都需要一个网络地址。它们变得越来越重要。我相信当你出生的时候,你会得到一个域名。
Architecture is involved with the world, but at the same time it has a certain autonomy. This autonomy cannot be explained in terms of traditional logic because the most interesting parts of the work are non-verbal. They operate within the terms of the work, like any art.
建筑与世界息息相关,但同时又具有一定的自主性。这种自主性不能用传统逻辑来解释,因为作品中最有趣的部分是非语言的。就像任何艺术一样,他们在作品的范围内运作。
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。
There's a big difference between helping someone else achieve their vision and keeping track of your own vision, and there's so much to get done that it's very easy to lose track of what you're trying to do just because of the deadlines and everything that's coming at you.
帮助别人实现他们的愿景和跟踪自己的愿景之间有很大的区别,有太多的事情要做,很容易因为截止日期和即将到来的一切事情而忘记自己想要做什么。
When you see somebody who's got a complaining personality, it usually means that they had some vision of what things could be, and they're constantly disappointed by that. I think that would be the camp that I would fall into - constantly horrified by the things people do.
当你看到一个爱抱怨的人,这通常意味着他们对事情的未来有一些设想,但他们总是对此感到失望。我想这就是我将要陷入的阵营——不断被人们所做的事情吓到。
But we can hold our spirits and our bodies so pure and high, we may cherish such thoughts and such ideals, and dream such dreams of lofty purpose, that we can determine and know what manner of men we will be, whenever and wherever the hour strikes and calls to noble action.
但是我们可以保持我们的精神,我们的身体如此纯洁和高,我们会珍惜这样的想法,这样的理想,崇高的目的,这样的梦想,我们可以确定,知道的人我们会随时随地小时罢工和调用高尚的行动。
The way you want to respond is to ask a question: Is this technology directly relevant to our hedgehog concept? If the answer is YES, then we want to become pioneers, not in the technology, but in the application of that technology specifically linked to our hedgehog concept.
你想要回应的方式是问一个问题:这项技术是否与我们的刺猬概念直接相关?如果答案是肯定的,那么我们想成为先驱者,不是在技术上,而是在与我们的刺猬概念特别相关的技术应用上。
Architecture is an art which is basically geometrical. The cube is the basis of architecture because the right angle is necessary - the steps of a staircase consist of vertical and horizontal planes and the corners of rooms are nearly always right angles. We need right angles.
建筑是一门基本是几何的艺术。立方体是建筑的基础,因为直角是必要的——楼梯的台阶由垂直和水平平面组成,房间的角几乎总是直角。我们需要直角。
The colors I choose there was to paint the first hotel, the Disneyland Hotel. Because of the cloudy sky we had in Paris, it had to be a particular kind of color who will fight those grey days. And also something you can see when you're driving up 'There it is! We're arriving!'
我在那里选择的颜色是画第一家酒店,迪斯尼酒店。因为巴黎多云的天空,它必须是一种特殊的颜色来对抗那些灰暗的日子。而且当你开车去的时候,你还能看到一些东西。我们到达!”
One of the things that is most important for a company is to be very clear about their strategy, so investors get to self-select as to whether or not that's the right strategy for them. I think we've done a very good job about being clear that we're a long-term focused company.
对一家公司来说,最重要的一件事就是要非常清楚自己的战略,这样投资者就可以自行选择这对他们来说是否是正确的战略。我认为,我们做得很好,清楚地表明我们是一家专注于长期发展的公司。
The artist's job, I think, is to be a conduit for mystery. To intuit it, and recognize that the story-germ has some inherent mystery in it, and sort of midwife that mystery into the story in such a way that it isn't damaged in the process, and may even get heightened or refined.
我认为,艺术家的工作是为神秘事物提供通道。去直觉地感知它,并认识到故事的根源有一些内在的神秘感,并以一种助产士的方式将这种神秘感融入到故事中,这样它就不会在这个过程中被破坏,甚至可能会被强化或提炼。
If you shut your eyes and are a lucky one, you may see at times a shapeless pool of lovely pale colours suspended in the darkness; then if you squeeze your eyes tighter, the pool begins to take shape, and the colours become so vivid that with another squeeze they must go on fire
如果你闭上眼睛,幸运的话,你有时会看到黑暗中悬浮着一滩没有形状的可爱的浅颜色;然后,如果你把眼睛挤得更紧,水池就开始成形,颜色变得如此鲜艳,再挤一下,它们一定会着火
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The end result of kindness is that it draws people to you.
善良的最终结果是它把人们吸引到你身边。
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。
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。
What you can imagine depends on what you know.
你能想象什么取决于你知道什么。
Imagination is a poor substitute for experience.
想象力是经验的拙劣替代品。
There's a trick to the Graceful Exit. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, a relationship is over - and to let go. It means leaving what's over without denying its value.
优雅的退出是有诀窍的。它始于这样的愿景:认识到一份工作、一个人生阶段、一段关系何时结束,然后放手。它意味着离开过去而不否认它的价值。
