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。
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
经常开怀大笑;赢得聪明人的尊重和孩子们的喜爱…让世界变得更美好…要知道,即使只有一个生命因为你的存在而变得更轻松。这就是成功。
The more generous we are, the more joyous we become. The more cooperative we are, the more valuable we become. The more enthusiastic we are, the more productive we become. The more serving we are, the more prosperous we become.
我们越慷慨,我们就越快乐。我们越合作,我们就越有价值。我们的热情越高,我们的效率就越高。我们越服事人,就越昌盛。
Acting is a smaller piece in a big puzzle. There are charity things I want to immerse myself in and want to have the time to go and give back to people who don't have the opportunities I have. It's a very important thing to me.
表演是一个大拼图中的一小块。我想全身心投入到慈善事业中,想有时间去帮助那些没有我这样机会的人。这对我来说很重要。
As authors, most - most authors , our art is portraying the human condition. Trying to show you what it's like to be somebody else, trying to make you feel for somebody else. That means you have to have a high degree of empathy.
作为作家,绝大多数作家,我们的艺术是描绘人类的处境。试着向你展示成为别人是什么样子,试着让你对别人有感觉。这意味着你必须有高度的同理心。
It's not our job to play judge and jury, to determine who is worthy of our kindness and who is not. We just need to be kind, unconditionally and without ulterior motive, even - or rather, especially - when we'd prefer not to be.
我们的工作不是扮演法官和陪审团的角色,来决定谁值得我们的善意,谁不值得。我们只需要做一个善良的人,无条件的,没有不可告人的动机,甚至——或者更确切地说,尤其是——当我们不愿意这样做的时候。
Well, I'll tell you something, this wedding is something that I will always, always cherish. It was a show of love and support and kindness like I'd never seen from the people, and that's who I entertain. I entertain the people.
好吧,我告诉你,这场婚礼是我永远,永远珍惜的。这是一场我从未见过的人民对我的爱、支持和善意的展示,这就是我要招待的人。我娱乐人民。
Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will be in our troubled world.
最终,我们只有一个道德责任:在我们自己身上重新获得大面积的和平,越来越多的和平,并将其反映给他人。我们内心的和平越多,这个混乱的世界就会越和平。
Where did we ever get the crazy idea that in order to make children do better, first we have to make them feel worse? Think of the last time you felt humiliated or treated unfairly. Did you feel like cooperating or doing better?
我们从哪里得到这样一个疯狂的想法:为了让孩子们做得更好,首先我们必须让他们感觉更糟?回想一下你最近一次感到羞辱或受到不公平待遇的情形。你想合作还是做得更好?
All are deceptions, substitutes for the hard job of using reason and industry and intuition and compassion to solve even a little bit of the muddle with humaneness and awe for the natural world and the complexity of human beings.
所有这些都是欺骗,代替了用理性、勤奋、直觉和同情心来解决哪怕一点点人类对自然世界和人类复杂性的困惑的艰难工作。
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
总是在某个地方做好事。每个人都必须用自己的方式去寻找,才能实现自己的真正价值。你必须给你的同胞一些时间。记住,你并不是生活在一个完全属于你自己的世界里。你的兄弟们也在这里。
Each and every one of us has one obligation, during the bewildered days of our pilgrimage here: the saving of his own soul, and secondarily and incidentally thereby affecting for good such other souls as come under our influence.
在我们迷惘的朝圣之旅中,我们每一个人都有一种责任:拯救自己的灵魂,其次,顺便也因此而永远感化那些受到我们影响的灵魂。
Creative powers can just as easily turn out to be destructive. It rests solely with the moral personality whether they apply themselves to good things or to bad. And if this is lacking, no teacher can supply it or take its place.
创造力很容易被证明是破坏性的。这完全取决于道德人格,不管他们是致力于好事还是坏事。若缺少这方面的知识,就没有教师能补上,也没有教师能补上。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.
微小的行动,当由数百万人共同践行时,便能改变世界。
You don't have to be an angel, just be someone who can give.
你不必成为天使,只要是一个能给予的人。
For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?
对我来说,宽恕和同情总是联系在一起的:我们如何让人们对自己的错误行为负责,同时又与他们的人性保持足够的联系,让他们相信自己有能力被改造?
If the world seems cold to you, kindle fires to warm it.
如果你觉得这个世界很冷,那就生火取暖吧。
To not extend forgiveness is to burn the bridge that we ourselves must cross.
不宽恕别人,等于烧毁了我们自己必须跨越的桥。
Many men have been capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing
许多人能做一件聪明的事,更能做一件狡猾的事,但很少有人能做一件慷慨大方的事
