A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision
It seems to me a worthy goal: try to create a representation of consciousness that's durable and truthful, i.e., that accounts, somewhat, for all the strange, tiny, hard-to-articulate, instantaneous, unwilled things that actually go on in our minds in the course of a given day, or even a given moment.
在我看来,这是一个有价值的目标:试着创造一种持久而真实的意识表征,即这在一定程度上解释了在某一天,甚至某一特定时刻,我们头脑中发生的所有奇怪的、微小的、难以表达的、瞬间发生的、任性的事情。
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。
The future is too interesting and dangerous to be entrusted to any predictable, reliable agency. We need all the fallibility we can get. Most of all, we need to preserve the absolute unpredictability and total improbability of our connected minds. That way we can keep open all the options, as we have in the past.
未来太过有趣和危险,不能委托给任何可预测、可靠的机构。我们需要尽可能多的犯错。最重要的是,我们需要保持我们相互联系的思想的绝对不可预测性和完全不可能性。这样我们就可以像过去一样,保留所有的选择。
Freedom is about a way of thinking. Freedom is about understanding that you can do anything that you want and freedom is about being able to take information and education and make it relevant to your own growth every single day. Freedom is not staying in the box. Freedom is not doing what other people want you to do.
自由是一种思考方式。自由是理解你可以做任何你想做的事情,自由是能够获取信息和教育,让它与你每天的成长相关。自由不是呆在盒子里。自由不是做别人想让你做的事。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
What inspires me most are people who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and around the world.
最鼓舞我的是那些在他们自己的生活中、在他们的社区中、在我们的国家和全世界为挑战设想和实施解决方案的人。
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。
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。
The most terrifying thing is sometimes not what we see, but rather what we are forced to imagine.
有时候,最可怕的不是我们所看到的,而是我们被迫去想象的。
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。
Imagination is a poor substitute for experience.
想象力是经验的拙劣替代品。
