A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愚蠢
Stupid
I've heard that I've gotten a lighter complexion, as if I've bleached my skin. I think that is so stupid and ludicrous. For those who want to bleach their skin, that's fine. I just didn't bleach mine. I'm a black woman. I don't want to be anything but a black woman.
我听说我的肤色变浅了，好像我把皮肤漂白了一样。我觉得这太愚蠢可笑了。对于那些想漂白皮肤的人来说，这很好。我只是没有漂白。我是一个黑人妇女。我只想做一个黑人妇女。
You think this cruel? take it for a rule, No creature smarts so little as a fool. Let peals of laughter, Codrus! round thee break, Thou unconcerned canst hear the mighty crack. Pit, box, and gallery in convulsions hurled, Thou stand’st unshook amidst a bursting world.
你觉得这残忍吗?把它当作一条规则吧，没有比傻瓜更不聪明的了。让我们放声大笑，柯德鲁斯!在你的四周破碎，你不顾一切地能听到巨大的破碎声。陷坑、箱子和走廊在一阵猛烈的震动中，你屹立在一个破裂的世界里，却没有受到震动。
It's hard for women who make a lot of money and make decisions all day long, then they have to come home and be 'Stupid Sally.' Men need respect, and they need to know that they can lead in the relationship, so even if they don't make the most money they need to be able to call the shots.
这句话的意思是:“那些赚了很多钱，成天做决定，然后又不得不回家去做傻事的女人可真不容易。“男人需要尊重，他们需要知道他们可以在这段关系中发挥领导作用，所以即使他们赚不到最多的钱，他们也需要能够发号施令。”
But here our authors make a doubt Whether he were more wise or stout. Some hold the one and some the other; But howsoe’er they make a pother, The difference was so small his brain Out weighed his rage but half a grain; Which made some take him for a tool That knaves do work with, called a fool.
但在这里，我们的作者怀疑他是更聪明还是更强壮。有的拿着这个，有的拿着那个;但是，不管他们做了什么，差别是如此之小，他的脑子只比他的愤怒重了一半;这使得有些人把他当成了骗子的工具，叫做傻瓜。
I don't have time for their judgement and their stupidity and you know they lay down with their ugly wives in front of their ugly children and look at their loser lives and then they look at me and they say, 'I can't process it' well, no, you never will stop trying, just sit back and enjoy the show. You know?
我没有时间为自己的判断和他们的愚蠢,你知道他们用丑陋的妻子躺在他们的丑陋的孩子面前,看看他们的失败者的生活然后他们看着我说,‘我不能处理好,不,你永远不会停止,只是坐下来,好好享受自己的人生。你知道吗?
The man whose life is spent in performing a few simple operations of which the effects too are, perhaps, always the same or very nearly the same, has no occasion to exert his understanding, or to exercise his invention. He generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become.
如果一个人一生只从事几项简单的工作，而这些工作的效果也许总是相同的，或者几乎总是相同的，那么他就没有必要发挥他的理解力，也没有必要运用他的发明创造。他一般会变得像人类一样愚蠢和无知。
