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。
The chemotherapy was very peculiar, something that makes you feel much worse than the cancer itself, a very nasty thing. I used to go to treatment on my own, and nearly everybody else was with somebody. I wouldn't have liked that. Why would you want to make anybody sit in those places?
化疗是非常奇特的,它让你感觉比癌症本身还要糟糕,这是一件非常糟糕的事情。我过去常常一个人去治疗,几乎每个人都和别人在一起。我不喜欢那样。你为什么要让别人坐在那些地方?
My purpose is to teach and demonstrate what is possible. To demonstrate love of God and good. Remember what my role is as a woman: to be... good. My role as a mother: to teach, support and nurture my offspring. My role as a grandmother: to remind everybody - right where you are, God is.
我的目的是教导和证明什么是可能的。表现出对上帝和善良的爱。记住我作为一个女人的角色:成为……好。我作为母亲的角色:教导、支持和养育我的后代。我作为祖母的角色:提醒每一个人——你在哪里,上帝就在哪里。
I worry when athletes are simply used by their universities to produce revenue, to make money for them, nothing to show at the back end. I grew up with a lot of players who had very, very tough lives after the ball started bouncing for them. And that's why I'm going to continue to fight.
我担心的是,当运动员只是被他们的大学用来创造收入,为他们赚钱,却没有在后面展示什么。我和很多球员一起长大,在球开始为他们弹跳之后,他们的生活非常非常艰难。这就是为什么我要继续战斗。
I'm such a believer in 'if you're beautiful on the inside it really shows on the outside.' I know a lot of people who are physically very beautiful, but their inside doesn't represent that. So to me, it just doesn't come across as having a sparkle to them or an energy that just radiates.
我坚信“如果你内在美丽,外在就会显露出来。”“我认识很多人,他们的外表很漂亮,但他们的内心并不代表这一点。所以对我来说,它给人的感觉并不是闪耀着光芒,也不是散发着能量。
We recognize the chicken as another conscious being. It's different from us, but it has a life, and if something is really important for that chicken, if it would work hard to try to get it, and if we can give it without sacrificing something that's really important to us, then we should.
我们认为鸡是另一种有意识的存在。它和我们不同,但它有自己的生命,如果某样东西对那只鸡来说真的很重要,如果它会努力去得到它,如果我们能在不牺牲对我们来说真的很重要的东西的情况下给予它,那么我们就应该这么做。
No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.
没有一种善举会自行停止。一种行为导致另一种行为。下面是一个很好的例子。一个简单的善举就能把树根向四面八方抛去,树根就会发芽,长成新的树。善良对他人所做的最大的贡献就是使他们善待自己。
Cooking for people is an enormously significant expression of generosity and soulfulness, and entertaining is a way to be both generous and creative. You're sharing your life with people. Of course, it's also an expression of your own need for approval and applause. Nothing wrong with that.
烹饪对于人们来说是慷慨和深情的一种极其重要的表达,而娱乐是一种既慷慨又富有创造力的方式。你在和别人分享你的生活。当然,这也是你想要得到认可和掌声的一种表达。这没什么错。
There is only one valid way to partake of the universe -- whether the partaking is of food and water, the love of another, or, indeed, a pill. That way is characterized by reverence -- a reverence born of a felt sense of participation in the universe, a kinship with all and with all matter.
分享宇宙只有一种有效的方式——不管分享的是食物和水、对他人的爱,还是一粒药丸。这种方式的特点是敬畏——一种源于对宇宙参与感的敬畏,一种与所有人和所有物质的亲近感。
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent ? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
你们中间谁有儿子求饼,反给他石头呢。他若求鱼,反给他蛇呢。你们虽然不好,尚且知道拿好东西给儿女,何况你们在天上的父,岂不更把好东西给求他的人吗。
I grew up in a community where it was not the exception to be a good girl. It was sort of expected. And all of my friends were good girls too, and my boyfriends were good boys. Everybody was pretty nice. And that affects how I write my characters. There aren't very many bad guys in my novels.
我在一个社区长大,在那里做一个好女孩也不例外。这是意料之中的。我所有的朋友都是好女孩,我的男朋友也是好男孩。每个人都很好。这就影响了我写角色的方式。在我的小说里坏人并不多。
Why are not more gems from our great authors scattered over the country? Great books are not in everybody's reach; and though it is better to know them thoroughly than to know them only here and there, yet it is a good work to give a little to those who have not the time nor means to get more.
为什么我们伟大作家的作品没有更多地散布在全国各地?伟大的书不是每个人都能得到的;虽然全面地了解他们比只在这里和那里了解他们要好,但是给那些没有时间也没有办法得到更多的人一点帮助是一件好事。
Parents of recovered children, and I've met hundreds, all share the same experience of doubters and deniers telling us our child must have never even had autism or that the recovery was simply nature's course. We all know better, and frankly we're too busy helping other parents to really care.
康复儿童的父母们,我见过数百人,他们都有同样的经历,怀疑论者和否认者告诉我们,我们的孩子肯定从未患过自闭症,或者康复只是自然的过程。我们都知道得更清楚,坦白地说,我们忙于帮助其他父母去真正关心孩子。
