A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
抱负
Ambition
Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches. This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing!
每个战士都想在他所触及的重要行为上留下他的意志的印记,他的签名。这不是自我的声音,而是人类精神的声音,站起来宣布,无论多么烦恼,它都能为解决最困难的问题做出贡献!
When you're an actor or actress in this business, usually the natural progression is to direct, but a lot of times, we don't get a chance to get to it. Myself, I really want to get into it. I want to be the person who eventually doesn't have to be in front of the camera.
当你是一个演员或演员在这个行业,通常自然的进展是导演,但很多时候,我们没有机会得到它。我自己,我真的很想投入其中。我想成为一个最终不用面对镜头的人。
You know that feeling when you finish a final exam and you think, 'I never want to do that again'? Well I have the same feeling when I finish a novel. Each time I say, 'I think I may retire now' and then after six months the ideas start to churn again. I could never stop.
你知道那种感觉吗?当你期末考试结束时,你想,‘我再也不想做那样的事了’?当我读完一本小说时,我也有同样的感觉。每次我说“我想我现在可以退休了”,六个月后,我的想法又开始翻腾起来。我停不下来。
I learned three things in Zurich during the war... Firstly you’re either a revolutionary or you’re not, and if you’re not you might as well be an artist as anything else. Secondly, if you can’t be an artist, you might as well be a revolutionary... I forget the third thing.
战争期间我在苏黎世学到了三件事……首先,你要么是一个革命者,要么不是,如果你不是,你也可以成为一名艺术家。其次,如果你不能成为一名艺术家,你不妨成为一名革命者……我忘了第三件事。
I think in the end, when you're famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I've just become this ambitious, say-whatever's-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And that's part of my personality, but it's certainly not anywhere near the whole thing.
我想最后,当你出名的时候,人们喜欢把你的范围缩小到一些个性特征。我想我只是变成了一个野心勃勃的,说什么就说什么,令人生畏的人。这是我性格的一部分,但肯定不是全部。
This image of wanting to be an artist - that I would in some way become an artist -was very strong. I knew for a long, long time that that's what I would be. But nothing I ever did seemed to bring me any nearer to the condition of being an artist. And I didn't know how to do it.
这种想成为一名艺术家的想法——在某种程度上我将成为一名艺术家——非常强烈。在很长很长一段时间里,我知道我将成为这样的人。但我所做的一切似乎都没有使我更接近成为一名艺术家。我不知道怎么做。
It's about taking advantage of the opportunities you have right now, and right now we're in a position where you call somebody and they're willing to pick up and take the call because they're a fan, you have to take advantage of that and have a chance to capitalize on your ideas.
是利用现在的机会,现在我们在一个位置你叫别人和他们愿意接接电话,因为他们是一个迷,你要利用这一点,他们有机会利用你的想法。
I don't plan in terms of career ambitions. The only career ambition I have is to work with people who are going to bring you up and elevate your performance. They'll let you know things that you didn't know already and bring you places that you might not have gotten to otherwise.
我没有职业抱负方面的计划。我唯一的职业抱负就是和那些能把你培养成人并提高你表现的人一起工作。他们会让你知道你不知道的事情,带你去你可能不会去的地方。
The idea of stopping is not unmeaningful to me. I think there might be a time when, in theory at least, you'd say, 'Well I've mostly done what I want to do.' But how could you ever prevent a few years down the line some germ of an idea getting at you and you've got to do it again?
停止的想法对我来说并不是没有意义的。我认为,至少在理论上,你可能会说,‘嗯,我基本上已经做了我想做的事情。“但你怎么能阻止几年以后某个想法的萌芽在你身上生根发芽,而你又不得不重新来过呢?”
I think it's harder than ever to be an artist. I think that you end up, especially as a middle-aged person, you pay such big consequences for saying, 'I'm just going to devote my life to making art,' or 'I'm going to devote my life to writing novels.' You end up with no resources.
我认为成为一名艺术家比以往任何时候都难。我认为你最终,尤其是作为一个中年人,你要为说“我要把我的一生奉献给艺术”或“我要把我的一生奉献给写小说”而付出巨大的代价。“你最终会一无所有。
There's a kind of intensity that she has, and a real focus, ... I can glean from her personality that she's going to have a very long career and is going to be a very centered person. You just look at her and go, wow, this kid has really got it together, and it's just so nice to see.
她有一种强烈的专注力我从她的性格中可以看出,她的职业生涯将会很长,她将会是一个非常以自我为中心的人。你只要看着她,然后说,哇,这个孩子真的很有天赋,看到她真是太好了。
I've done my coaching badges, I've got my Pro Licence, but I enjoy what I'm doing now. I'm also the elite performance director of the Welsh FA. The main thing for me was always Liverpool Football Club and my country, Wales - and I'm lucky enough to still be involved with both of them.
我已经完成了我的教练徽章,拿到了职业执照,但我很享受现在的工作。我也是威尔士足球协会的杰出表演总监。对我来说,最重要的是利物浦足球俱乐部和我的祖国威尔士——我很幸运仍然和他们在一起。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Aim for the sky and you'll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you'll stay on the floor.
瞄准天空,你就会到达天花板。瞄准天花板,你就会呆在地板上。
You gotta have a dream. If you don't have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true?
你必须有一个梦想。如果你没有梦想,你将如何使梦想成真?
There are some people out there who don't wait for what comes next. They decide what should come next and they go and make it happen.
有些人不会等待下一个结果。他们决定接下来该做什么,然后去实现它。
Those who intend on becoming great should love neither themselves nor their own things, but only what is just, whether it happens to be done by themselves or others.
那些想要变得伟大的人,既不应该爱自己,也不应该爱自己的东西,而应该只爱正义的东西,无论是自己做的还是别人做的。
Share your aspirations only with those who will support you, not those who will respond with doubt or lack of interest.
只和那些支持你的人分享你的抱负,而不是那些怀疑或缺乏兴趣的人。
An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.
一个发展起来并付诸行动的想法,比仅仅作为一个想法而存在的想法更重要。
