A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
善良
Kindness
善意既体现在言语里,也体现在愿意理解与帮助他人的行动中。这些语句围绕体谅、分享和尊重展开。
As soon as you concern yourself with the 'good' and 'bad' of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weaken and defeat you.
只要你关心你的同伴的“好”和“坏”,你就在你的心中为恶意创造了一个入口。测试、竞争和批评他人会削弱和打败你。
I edit things down, and I've got a massive dressing room in the country, and so all the things I'm not going to wear but don't want to get rid of go there. And all the stuff I want to get rid of goes to Oxfam.
我把东西整理好,我在乡下有一个很大的更衣室,所以所有我不打算穿但又不想扔掉的东西都去了那里。所有我想扔掉的东西都捐给了乐施会。
You have discovered so much kindness and good will to those you thought were oppressed, and had no helper, that I am sure you will not despise what I have wrote, if you judge it will be of any service to them.
你对那些你认为是受压迫的人,没有人帮助你的人,发现了那么多的仁慈和善意,所以我相信,如果你认为我写的东西对他们有用的话,你一定不会轻视我写的东西。
Often as a child you see someone with a learning disability or Down's Syndrome and my mum and dad were always very quick to explain exactly what was going on and to be in their own way inclusive and welcoming.
当我还是个孩子的时候,你经常会看到有学习障碍或唐氏综合症的人,我的父母总是很快地解释到底发生了什么,并以他们自己的方式包容和欢迎。
The candle burns not for us, but for all those whom we failed to rescue from prison, who were shot on the way to prison, who were tortured, who were kidnapped, who "disappeared". That's what the candle is for.
蜡烛不是为我们而燃烧,而是为所有那些我们没能从监狱里救出的人而燃烧,他们在入狱的路上中弹,被拷打,被绑架,“失踪”了。这就是蜡烛的作用。
However, without considering this connection, there is no doubt but that more good than evil, more delight than sorrow, arises from compassion itself; there being so many things which balance the sorrow of it.
然而,如果不考虑这两者之间的联系,毫无疑问,同情本身产生的善多于恶,产生的快乐多于悲伤;有那么多事情可以平衡它的悲伤。
It's very difficult for me to dislike an artist. No matter what he's creating, the fact that he's experiencing the joy of creation makes me feel like we're in a brotherhood of some kind... we're in it together.
我很难不喜欢一个艺术家。不管他在创作什么,他在体验创作的喜悦,这让我觉得我们就像兄弟一样……我们是一伙的。
Trust is not simply a matter of truthfulness, or even constancy. It is also a matter of amity and goodwill. We trust those who have our best interests at heart, and mistrust those who seem deaf to our concerns.
信任不仅仅是一个诚实的问题,甚至不是一个持之以恒的问题。这也是一个友好和善意的问题。我们信任那些把我们的最大利益放在心上的人,而不信任那些似乎对我们的关切充耳不闻的人。
Katrina took away his agenda, and maybe his image as a leader, unless he pulls it out in the next few days. His initial reaction was certainly not as quick and compassionate as a lot of people would have liked.
卡特里娜飓风夺去了他的议程,或许也夺去了他作为一个领导人的形象,除非他在未来几天内把它提出来。他最初的反应肯定不像很多人希望的那样迅速和富有同情心。
I was looking at making a shift in my career. I've been so blessed I'd like to be able to give that back. If I could find young artists, young performers I can nurture to have a career I would really like that.
我正在考虑改变我的职业生涯。我太幸运了,我想把它还给你。如果我能找到年轻的艺术家,年轻的表演者,我可以培养他们,让他们有自己的事业,我会非常喜欢的。
Always, Sir, set a high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his own accord, will love you more than one whom you have been at pains to attract to you.
先生,永远要把自发的善意看得很重。如果一个人的倾向性促使他自愿地培养你的友谊,那么他对你的爱就会超过你费尽心思吸引的那个人。
Even as a child, I felt very guilty about eating animals and never knew that there was something to do about it. And as I got older, it became clearer that there are things that I can do and choices I can make.
甚至当我还是个孩子的时候,我就对吃动物感到非常内疚,而且从来不知道有什么事情可以做。随着年龄的增长,我越来越清楚地认识到我可以做一些事情,我可以做出选择。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.
幸福和美德是相互依存的;最好的不仅是最幸福的,而且最幸福的往往是最好的。
Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse.
愿你心里怜悯众人的困苦窘迫。愿你的手按着你的资财按比例分给他们。
Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.
没有私利的友谊是人生少有的美好事物之一。

你今天播下的善良的种子,总有一天会在你所触及的所有人的心中开花。
