A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
奉献
Dedication
You know, I think I'm more of a micro-person, so to me, the context and the framework of trying to do what you love and feel passionate about, in supporting your family in that way, is the most important thing to me.
你知道，我认为我是一个更微观的人，所以对我来说，环境和框架是最重要的，你要努力做你喜欢的和充满激情的事情，以那种方式支持你的家庭。
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
我坚信，任何一个人最辉煌的时刻，他所珍视的一切的最大成就，就是当他全身心投入一项伟大的事业，精疲力竭地躺在胜利的战场上的那一刻。
And, you know, you try and preach to them there's more to this game than just walking up to home plate, swinging the bat, fielding a ground ball. There's some dedication in it, some love you've got to put into this work.
而且，你知道，你试着告诉他们，这场比赛不仅仅是走到本垒板前，挥棒，守住一个滚地球那么简单。这里面有一些奉献精神，一些你必须投入进去的爱。
What I had to prove was that I had a dedication and a desire and a passion to do the work and everything else would fall in place because I have a vision that I want to portray and it did and I do it. I don't sell anything.
我需要证明的是我有一种奉献精神，一种渴望，一种热情去做这份工作，其他的一切都会到位，因为我有一个我想要描绘的愿景，它做到了，我也做到了。我什么都不卖。
You really, really, really have to love what you are going to do in theatre because it is an unmerciful life. It's six days a week. It's eight performances a week. And that's doing the exact same thing over and over and over again.
你真的，真的，真的必须热爱你在剧院里要做的事情，因为这是一种无情的生活。一周有六天。一周有八场演出。这就是一遍又一遍地做同样的事情。
It was also important for me to have a burning desire to achieve something worthwhile on that instrument, and I devoted many many many hours with little or no compensation to perfecting whatever I could, because I loved it so much.
同样重要的是，我有一种强烈的愿望，想要在这门乐器上取得一些有价值的东西。我花了很多很多时间，但几乎没有报酬，去完善我所能做到的一切，因为我非常热爱它。
In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated to your chosen sport. You must also be prepared to work hard and be willing to accept constructive criticism. Without one-hundred percent dedication, you won't be able to do this.
为了出类拔萃，你必须全身心地投入到你所选择的运动中去。你还必须准备好努力工作，并愿意接受建设性的批评。没有百分之百的奉献，你将无法做到这一点。
The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another... and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world.
伟大艺术家的神秘之处在于，不知出于什么原因，他会献出自己的精力和生命，只是为了确保一个音符接着另一个音符……让我们觉得世界上有些事情是对的。
He can't even be at a casual read and not be creating the whole thing in his mind. I remember feeling very awed about how much he still seems to be so in love with it, and so dedicated to making everything really real and really spontaneous.
他甚至不能在随意阅读的时候不把整件事放在脑海里。我还记得当时我对他充满敬畏，因为他似乎仍然如此热爱音乐，如此专注于让一切变得真实、自然。
I wanted to make a point of basing myself at home, being close to my family. I'll never be able to repay Mum and Dad for what they did, but at least they know they'll never have to work another day. I'll do whatever it takes to look after them.
我想把自己放在家里，离家人近一点。我永远也报答不了爸爸妈妈所做的一切，但至少他们知道他们再也不用工作了。我会尽一切可能照顾他们。
You commit a sin of omission if you do not utilize all the power that is within you. All men have claims on man, and to the man with special talents, this is a very special claim. It is required that a man take part in the actions and clashes of his
如果你没有利用你内在的所有力量，你就犯了疏忽罪。所有的人对人都有要求，对有特殊才能的人来说，这是一种非常特殊的要求。一个人必须参与自己的行动和冲突
A book is a fragile creature, it suffers the wear of time, it fears rodents, the elements and clumsy hands. so the librarian protects the books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion.
书是一种脆弱的生物，它经受着时间的磨损，它害怕啮齿动物、大自然和笨拙的双手。因此，图书馆员不仅要保护图书不受人类的侵害，还要保护图书不受自然的侵害，并把自己的生命奉献给这场与遗忘力量的战争。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Duty is the most sublime word in our language. Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more. You should never wish to do less.
责任是我们语言中最崇高的词。凡事尽你的本分。你不能做得更多。你不应该希望做得更少。
It is wonderful what strength of purpose and boldness and energy of will are roused by the assurance that we are doing our duty.
令人惊奇的是，当我们确信自己在履行自己的职责时，会激发起多大的决心、勇气和意志力。
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be.
一个音乐家必须创作音乐，一个艺术家必须绘画，一个诗人必须写作，如果他想最终与自己和平相处。一个人能成为什么样的人，他必须成为什么样的人。
Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it.
最重要的是要有一个目标;有一个合理而有用的目标，并毫无保留地投入其中。

当你做出最大的贡献时，你是最快乐的。
In a world that owes you nothing give everything.
在一个不欠你任何东西的世界里，付出一切。
