A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
抱负
Ambition
There has to be this pioneer, the individual who has the courage, the ambition to overcome the obstacles that always develop when one tries to do something worthwhile, especially when it is new and different.
必须有这样的先驱，一个有勇气、有野心去克服障碍的人，当一个人试图做一些有价值的事情时，尤其是当它是新的和不同的时候，障碍总是会发展的。
So I picked a field where I had a little exposure. Where I thought I could have an enormous challenge, and have a chance to really do some good, to be a pioneer in an area, and not just be like everyone else.

What I have to do now is figure where my passion is, and follow my heart; I've proven that if I have the passion for something then I can succeed. I haven't been listening to my heart in the last little while.
我现在要做的是找到我的激情所在，追随我的内心;我已经证明，如果我对某件事有激情，那么我就能成功。在过去的一段时间里，我没有倾听我的内心。
It little profits that an idle king By this still hearth, among these barren crags, Matched with an aged wife, I mete and dole Unequal laws unto a savage race, That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.
一个懒散的国王，站在这宁静的炉边，置身于这些贫瘠的峭壁之间，再加上一位上了年纪的妻子，我对一个野蛮的种族制定和发给他们不平等的法律，他们只知道囤积、睡觉、吃饭，却不了解我，这对他们没有什么好处。
The names of those who in their lives fought for life, Who wore at their hearts the fire’s centre. Born of the sun they travelled a short while towards the sun, And left the vivid air signed with their honour.
那些在他们的生命中为生命而战的人的名字，那些在他们心中佩带着火焰中心的人。他们生在太阳底下，朝着太阳走了一会儿，就离开了这充满生气的空气，留下了他们的荣誉的签名。
There's also a subplot about a guy who manages pop groups. Dave is a very ambitious boy, and he gets offered an audition but only wants to do it on his terms and conditions. He wants to maintain his integrity.

My career has suddenly started to be the one that I'd always wanted, not in terms of level of success, but in terms of - and this is what I've been banging on about - playing different parts in different media.
我的职业生涯突然开始成为我一直想要的，不是从成功的程度，而是——这就是我一直在强调的——在不同的媒体中扮演不同的角色。
I'm all for ambition and stretch goals. I set them for myself. But leadership isn't the same as cheerleading. Believing in something is a necessary but absolutely insufficient condition for making it come true.
我完全赞成野心和有弹性的目标。我自己设置的。但是领导和拉拉队不一样。相信某件事是实现它的必要条件，但绝对不够。
You know, our ratings after this match will be very close - I think I can also become the world number one in the not too distant future. However, I'm sure that Garry will also have something to say about this!

Moreover, broad plans commensurate with our national purpose and resources would bring conviction of our power to every soldier in the front line, to the nations associated with us in the war, and to the enemy.
此外，与我们的国家目标和资源相称的广泛计划将使前线的每一个士兵、与我们在战争中有联系的国家和敌人确信我们的力量。
Fare thee well, great heart. Ill-weaved ambition, how much art thou shrunk! When that this body did contain a spirit, A kingdom for it was too small a bound, But now two paces of the vilest earth Is room enough.
再见吧，伟大的心。编织不良的野心，你缩小了多少!当这个躯体包含着一个灵魂的时候，一个王国，因为它的疆界太小了，但是现在离最肮脏的土地两步的距离就足够了。
A man's face as a rule says more, and more interesting things, than his mouth, for it is a compendium of everything his mouth will ever say, in that it is the monogram of all this man's thoughts and aspirations.
一般说来，一个人的脸比他的嘴能说出更多、更有趣的东西，因为它是他的嘴所能说出的一切的一个概要，因为它是这个人所有思想和抱负的字母组合。
