A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
Bernard Shaw said that when you copy yourself, you know you've got style. And I feel that if you can write like you write, then you are true to yourself. And it's not an easy thing to do - it's a disgustingly difficult thing to do.
萧伯纳说过,当你模仿自己的时候,你就知道你有自己的风格。我觉得如果你能像你写的那样,那么你就是真实的自己。这不是一件容易的事情——这是一件令人厌恶的困难的事情。
I always want to do things that are different. I don't want to be doing the same thing, the same performance constantly, and it feels like most people tell you that they are the same. However different you feel might approach them.
我总是想做一些与众不同的事情。我不想一直做同样的事情,同样的表现,感觉就像大多数人告诉你他们是一样的。不管你对他们的态度有多不同。
So I concentrated on the rhythmic side of things, and therefore left a lot of holes. I didn't want to use big pad chords everywhere. All of the songs are built up of small melodies and counter melodies all played very rhythmically.
所以我专注于节奏方面的东西,因此留下了很多漏洞。我不想在任何地方都使用大和弦。所有的歌曲都是由小旋律和反旋律组成,都演奏得非常有节奏。
The burden of originality is one that most people don't want to accept. They'd rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they're supposed to like, what they're supposed to buy, and what they're supposed to laugh at.
创意的负担是大多数人都不想接受的。他们宁愿坐在电视机前,让电视告诉他们应该喜欢什么,应该买什么,应该嘲笑什么。
I wanted to express myself. I wanted to be creative and I didn't want to worry about someone bossing me around in the process. You have to struggle no matter where you are to get to where you're going, so I'm like, working it honey!
我想表达我自己。我想要有创造力,我不想担心在这个过程中有人对我指手画脚。无论你要去哪里,你都要奋斗才能到达你要去的地方,所以我说,亲爱的,努力工作吧!
A man from a primitive culture who sees an automobile might guess that it was powered by the wind or by an antelope hidden under the car, but when he opens up the hood and sees the engine he immediately realizes that it was designed.
一个来自原始文化的人看到一辆汽车可能会猜测它是由风或藏在汽车下面的羚羊提供动力,但当他打开引擎盖看到发动机时,他立刻意识到这是设计好的。
As a necessary prerequisite to the creation of new forms of expression one might, I suppose, argue that current sensibilities respond uniquely to the notion of exhaustion as exhaustion, although that does de facto seem rather limiting.
我想,作为创造新的表现形式的必要先决条件,人们可能会争辩说,目前的情感对精疲力尽这一概念的反应是独特的,尽管事实上这似乎相当有限。
The jazz chord substitutions in a country song... that was another thing that bent people's ears. I guess that my favorites are the unique ones. It's not how fast you play. It's that unique blending of different stuff I'm most proud of.
一首乡村歌曲中的爵士和弦替换…那是另一件让人侧耳倾听的事。我想我最喜欢的是独一无二的。重要的不是你弹得有多快。这是我最自豪的独特的混合不同的东西。
The albumin contained in the eggshell has the property of collecting and binding the rubbish that floats in the dark liquid, which can then be removed and discarded in a single reeking clot: a perfect description of the writing process.
蛋壳中所含的白蛋白具有收集和绑定漂浮在深色液体中的垃圾的特性,然后可以将这些垃圾清除并丢弃在一个臭气熏天的血块中:这是对写作过程的完美描述。
I always carry lots of stuff with me wherever I roam, always weighted down with books, with cassettes, with pens and paper, just in case I get the urge to sit down somewhere, and oh, I don't know, read something or write my masterpiece.
无论我走到哪里,我总是带着很多东西,总是带着沉重的书、磁带、笔和纸,以防我有坐下来的冲动,哦,我不知道,读点什么或者写点我的杰作。
Acting has given me a way to channel my angst. I feel like an overweight, pimply faced kid a lot of the time - and finding a way to access that insecurity, and put it toward something creative is incredibly rewarding. I feel very lucky.
演戏给了我一种宣泄焦虑的方式。很多时候,我觉得自己就像一个超重、满脸粉刺的孩子——找到一种方法来获得这种不安全感,并把它投入到创造性的事情中,这是非常有益的。我觉得很幸运。
This simple idea served to provide information on the geometrical shape of reacting molecules, and I was able to make the role of the frontier orbitals in chemical reactions more distinct through visualization, by drawing their diagrams.
这个简单的想法提供了关于反应分子几何形状的信息,我能够通过可视化,通过画它们的图表,使前线轨道在化学反应中的作用更加明显。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
In the world of words, the imagination is one of the forces of nature.
在文字的世界里,想象力是自然的力量之一。
Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never been, But without it we go nowhere...
想象力常常会把我们带到从未去过的世界,但没有想象力,我们将一事无成……
The day you stop learning and creating must be the most boring day.
停止学习和创造的那一天一定是最无聊的一天。
There is in writing the constant joy of sudden discovery, of happy accident.
在写作中,你会不断地体会到突然发现的喜悦和意外的快乐。
Painting does what we cannot do - it brings a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional plane.
