A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
抱负
Ambition
I'm a capitalist by conviction and profession. I believe the best economic system is one that rewards entrepreneurship and risk-taking, maximizes customer choice, uses markets to allocate scarce resources and minimizes the regulatory burden on business.
我是一个有信念和职业的资本家。我认为，最好的经济体系是奖励企业家精神和冒险精神，使客户选择最大化，利用市场分配稀缺资源，并将企业的监管负担降至最低。
I had a difficult time hearing my own inner voice about what I wanted to be in this life, because there were all these perfect examples of what a man actually does. The notion is that he goes to college, gets married and provides. That's what a man does.
我很难听到自己内心深处想要成为什么样的人，因为有那么多完美的例子可以说明一个男人真正在做什么。他上大学，结婚，养家糊口。这就是男人的工作。
My ambition was to stop waiting tables. That was how I measured success: finally, I was able to stop waiting tables, and I was able to pay the rent, and that was by being a stand-up comic. Not a very good stand-up comic, but good enough to make a living.
我的抱负是不再做服务员。这就是我衡量成功的方式:最终，我不再做服务员了，我付得起房租了，那就是当一名单口相声演员。不是一个很好的单口喜剧演员，但足以谋生。
Money is not everything. My ambition was football itself, not the money I'd make from it. If that brings me and my family a more comfortable lifestyle, then that's fine. But I don't spend my time between games and training sessions thinking about figures.
钱不是万能的。我的抱负是足球本身，而不是从中赚钱。如果这能给我和我的家人带来更舒适的生活方式，那就好。但我不会在比赛和训练之间花时间去想数字。
I used to be focused on being the dopest rapper in the game, and then once that became what I was, I wanted something different, and I wanted to become the best businessman in the game. I wanted to learn how to master the business like I mastered the rap.
我曾经专注于成为游戏中最愚蠢的说唱歌手，而一旦我成为这样的人，我就想要一些不同的东西，我想成为游戏中最好的商人。我想学习如何像掌握说唱一样掌握业务。
That taught me one lesson which is that you're naive to believe that bands can change the world. Bands are very naive to think that just if their audience thinks that they can change the world, that they can. That was quite a lesson for my career, really.
这给了我一个教训，那就是你天真地认为乐队可以改变世界。乐队非常天真地认为，只要他们的观众认为他们能改变世界，他们就能。这对我的职业生涯是一个教训，真的。
I just want to be healthy and stay alive and keep my family going and everything and keep my friends going and try to do something so that this world will be peaceful. That is the most ambitious and the most difficult thing, but I'm there trying to do it.
我只是想保持健康，活下去，让我的家人继续生活下去，让我的朋友继续生活下去，试着做些什么，这样这个世界才会和平。这是最雄心勃勃的，也是最困难的事情，但我正在努力去做。
We have to set our own agenda, we have to set our own standards, we have to be very strong about what we want, we have to be very strong about our passion and if it's not right for you, you shouldn't do it just because you're advised by so-called geniuses.
我们必须设置自己的议程,我们必须制定自己的标准,我们必须非常强大的我们想要的,我们要很强的激情,如果不适合你,你不应该只是因为你建议由所谓的天才。
I suppose that if I could have quit, I would have, because in those days I never wanted to be an actress, the acting was something to do while I waited for a chance to study writing and directing. But I guess I was just meant to be an actress. Because, here I am.
我想，如果我可以放弃，我一定会放弃，因为在那些日子里，我从来没有想过成为一名演员，当我在等待一个学习写作和导演的机会时，表演是我可以做的事情。但我想我只是注定要成为一名演员。因为，我在这里。
I'm really happy that I got to work with such fresh talent. In a day when record companies are not particularly good at encouraging young, talented songwriters to come forward and get exposure, I think it's important to give tomorrow's songwriters the opportunity.
我很高兴能和这么有天赋的人一起工作。如今，唱片公司并不特别擅长鼓励年轻、有才华的作词人站出来获得曝光，我认为给未来的作词人机会很重要。
I wish the Peace Corps and its volunteers continued success and perseverance. We are grateful for their contributions to society and dedication to providing assistance where it is needed. May the Peace Corps continue its legacy of service, both at home and abroad.
我祝愿和平队及其志愿人员继续取得成功和坚持不懈。我们感谢他们对社会的贡献和在需要时提供援助的奉献精神。愿和平队继续其在国内外的服务传统。
It is because I believe that it is in the power of such nations to lead the world back into the paths of peace that I propose to devote myself to explaining what, in my opinion, can and should be done to banish the fear of war that hangs so heavily over the world.
因为我相信在这些国家的力量来领导世界回到和平的路径,我打算把自己奉献给解释,在我看来,可以而且应该做才能消除战争的恐惧挂在世界各地。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.
大人物只是不断出手的小人物。
Don’t dream to be something but rather dream to do something great!
不要梦想成为伟大的人，而要梦想做伟大的事!
It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice.
没有献身于伟大理想的生活是无用的。就像一块石头，浪费在田野上，不能成为任何建筑物的一部分。
Men do less than they ought, unless they do all that they can.
人若不尽力而为，就会做得不够。
If you have ambition, you might not achieve anything, but without ambition, you are almost certain not to achieve anything.
如果你有野心，你可能不会取得任何成就，但没有野心，你几乎肯定不会取得任何成就。
A dream without ambition is like a car without gas... you're not going anywhere.
没有抱负的梦想就像没有汽油的汽车……你哪儿也别去。
