A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愤怒
Anger
She is so odd a blend of Little Nell and Lady Macbeth. It is not so much the familiar phenomenon of a hand of steel in a velvet glove as a lacy sleeve with a bottle of vitriol concealed in its folds.
她是那么古怪,既有小内尔又有麦克白夫人。与其说这是一只戴着天鹅绒手套的钢铁之手的常见现象,不如说这是一只带花边的袖子,皱褶里藏着一瓶刻薄话。
It isn't enough just to scream at the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. We need our political system to start reflect this anger back into, 'How do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again?'
仅仅对“占领华尔街”的示威活动大喊大叫是不够的。我们需要我们的政治体系开始将这种愤怒重新反映到‘我们如何解决它?我们如何才能让经济再次复苏?
Black people were very angry with me for writing the book. A lot of people didn't believe me, or didn't want to believe me, and that used to really bother me. It was a very painful and difficult time.
黑人对我写这本书很生气。很多人不相信我,或者不愿意相信我,这曾经让我很困扰。那是一段非常痛苦和艰难的时期。
Daddy loves you, but he smacks you, and he can shout at you and smash things, but Daddy still loves you. So when you get into a relationship with someone who does all of that, why would it be unusual?
爸爸爱你,但他打你,他可以对你大喊大叫和砸东西,但爸爸仍然爱你。所以当你和一个做这些事情的人开始一段关系时,为什么会不寻常呢?
But I think I can sincerely declare that I cheerfully submit myself to every odious name for conscience' sake; and from my soul I despise all those whose guilt, malice, or folly has made them my foes.
但是,我想我可以真诚地宣布,为了良心的缘故,我心甘情愿地听从每一个可憎的名字;凡因我的罪恶、恶意、愚妄而与我为敌的,我从心里藐视他们。
But if you know that something has been really vicious, you don't read it, you don't let it into your head. What's damaging is when sentences go through your head and you burn with the injustice of it.
但如果你知道有些事情真的很邪恶,你不会去读它,你不会让它进入你的大脑。最具破坏性的是,当你脑子里闪过一字一句的句子时,你会因其中的不公正而感到愤怒。
We have seen Good men made evil wrangling with the evil, Straight minds grown crooked fighting crooked minds. Our peace betrayed us; we betrayed our peace. Look at it well. This was the good town once.
我们看到好人与坏人争吵,正直的心变得扭曲,与扭曲的心战斗。我们的和平背叛了我们;我们背叛了我们的和平。好好看看。这曾经是一个好城市。
The report of this made me exceedingly angry, for I could not see why information which a middle-class woman could get from her doctor should be withheld from a poorer woman who might need it far more.
这个报告使我非常生气,因为我不明白为什么一个中产阶级的妇女可以从她的医生那里得到的信息,却要瞒着一个可能更需要它的贫穷的妇女。
Infertility is this huge emotional roller coaster. If you want in your heart more than anything to have a baby, it's the hardest thing you will ever go through physically, emotionally, and financially.
不孕不育是一个巨大的情感过山车。如果你内心想要的比任何东西都要多,那么生孩子就是你在身体上、情感上和经济上经历的最艰难的事情。
War, he sung, is toil and trouble; Honour but an empty bubble. Never ending, still beginning, Fighting still, and still destroying, If the world be worth thy winning, Think, oh think, it worth enjoying.
战争,他唱道,是辛劳和烦恼;荣誉不过是一个空泡。如果这个世界值得你去赢得,想想吧,哦,想想吧,它值得你去享受。
A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate.
这是一群涌动着、沸腾着、喃喃低语着的人,他们只是名义上的人,因为在他们的眼睛和耳朵看来,他们不过是些野蛮的动物,被卑鄙的感情、复仇的欲望和仇恨所驱使。
With rare exceptions, I feel strongly that McGovern's rule is an appropriate one for us all. The longer I live, the more I observe that carrying around anger is most debilitating to the person who bears it.
除了极少数例外,我强烈认为麦戈文的规则对我们所有人都是适用的。我活得越久,就越能观察到,带着愤怒到处跑,对承受它的人来说,是最让人衰弱的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

没有强烈的爱,就不会有强烈的恨。
The defense of our rights and our dignity, as well as efforts never to let ourselves to be overcome by the feeling of hatred - this is the road we have chosen.
捍卫我们的权利和尊严,以及绝不让自己被仇恨情绪所压倒的努力——这是我们选择的道路。
Patience is the direct antithesis of anger.
耐心是愤怒的直接对立面。
Self-determination is fine but needs to be tempered with self-control.
自我决定是好的,但是需要自我控制。
