A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
And then I met Jerry and he's such a creative fiction writer, and I don't know if there's ever been a team put together the way we are - where one person does the theological way out and suggestions, and the other person goes into the cave and does the fiction writing.
然后我遇到了杰里,他这样一个创造性的小说作家,我不知道如果有过团队放在一起的方式是——一个人的神学和建议,另一个人进入洞穴,小说写作。
My favorite music to sing would be my own songs, my original songs, just because I know them, you know I write the tunes, so my favorite songs are the newest ones that I write. That's what I like to sing the most, because it means something, it's real, it comes from me.
我最喜欢唱的音乐是我自己的歌，我的原创歌曲，因为我知道它们，你知道我写歌，所以我最喜欢的歌是我写的最新的歌。这是我最喜欢唱的，因为它意味着什么，它是真实的，它来自我。
I hope to refine music, study it, try to find some area that I can unlock. I don't quite know how to explain it but it's there. These can't be the only notes in the world, there's got to be other notes some place, in some dimension, between the cracks on the piano keys.
我希望改进音乐，研究它，试图找到一些我可以打开的领域。我不知道怎么解释，但它就在那里。这些音符不可能是世界上唯一的音符，在钢琴琴键的缝隙间，一定还有其他音符在某个地方，某个维度上。
Human nature is not amenable to prediction based on the trends or tendencies prevailing at the time. It is amenable to startling creativity of the kind practiced by great artists, directors, writers, musicians, actors, who know how to touch a chord in humans everywhere.
人的本性是不能根据当时流行的趋势作出预测的。它服从于伟大的艺术家、导演、作家、音乐家、演员的惊人创造力，他们知道如何触动世界各地人们的心弦。
I write a lot, and very often I write a couple of lines that are particularly revealing in some kind of way. And then as a few more lines get added and a piece gets added, eventually the song pretty much takes over and you can't really find a way to change those things.
我写了很多，很多时候，我写了几行特别能说明问题。然后随着几行歌词和一首乐曲的加入，最终这首歌就占据了主导地位，你无法找到改变这些的方法。
And after I compose my programs, but it is very easy because I look to the music in a very natural way without fuss, and so I look always music, in my home, like books and books and books, choose books and you read the pages, so I do this with music, and I make programs.
之后,我写程序,但是它看起来很容易,因为我的音乐以一种非常自然的方式没有大惊小怪,所以我看起来总是音乐,在我的家里,喜欢书和书和书籍,选择书和你读的页面,所以我这样做音乐,我做计划。
Because I'm such a creative person, and I've always got my nose in a book, I suppose it was only a matter of time before non-fiction turned into fiction again. But I never consciously set out to become a writer and I never thought I'd be doing the things I'm doing today.
因为我是一个很有创造力的人，而且我总是埋头读书，所以我想非小说类作品再次变成小说只是时间问题。但我从未有意识地想过要成为一名作家，我也从未想过我会做我今天正在做的事情。
I think you have to control the materials to an extent, but it's important to let the materials have a kind of power for themselves; like the natural power of gravity, if you are painting on a wall, it makes the paint trickle and it drips; there is no reason to fight that.
我认为你必须在一定程度上控制材料，但重要的是让材料本身有一种力量;就像自然引力一样，如果你在墙上作画，颜料会滴落下来;没有理由反对。
These are ideas. I could say that they just came to me, but it would be more accurate to say that I went to them. Ideas - and new connections between ideas - lead you away from commonly held perceptions of reality. Ideas lead you out here. Ideas lead you into the darkness.
这些都是想法。我可以说他们刚来找我，但更准确地说我去找他们了。想法——以及想法之间的新联系——会让你远离对现实的普遍认知。想法把你带到这里。思想把你带入黑暗。
I imagine a child. That child is me. I can reconstruct and vividly remember portions of my own childhood. I can see, taste, smell, feel, and hear them. Then what I do is, not write about that kid or about his world, but start to think of a book that would have pleased him.
我想象一个孩子。那个孩子就是我。我能重建并生动地回忆起我童年的某些部分。我能看见、尝到、闻到、感觉到并听到它们。然后我要做的，不是写那个孩子或他的世界，而是开始想一本他会喜欢的书。
As you see, I do not treat the creation of fiction, that to say the invention and development of fantasies, as a form of abstract thought. I don't wish to deny the uses of the intellect, but sometimes one has the intuition that the intellect by itself will lead one nowhere.
正如你所看到的，我不把小说的创作，也就是说幻想的发明和发展，看作是抽象思维的一种形式。我并不想否认智力的作用，但有时一个人会有这样的直觉:智力本身不会给他带来任何结果。
I believe in nurturing creativity and offering a haven for creators, enabling them to develop their ideas to the fullest. With more and more talented creators being drawn to Cirque in an environment that fulfills them, these are ideal to continue developing great new shows.
我相信要培养创造力，为创造者提供一个避风港，让他们能够充分发挥自己的创意。随着越来越多有才华的创作者被马戏团吸引到一个能够满足他们需求的环境中，他们是继续发展伟大的新节目的理想选择。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
No story comes from nowhere; new stories are born from old-it is the new combinations that make them new.
没有故事是凭空而来的;新故事从旧故事中诞生——是新的组合使它们成为新的。
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.
创造力就是把事物联系起来。当你问有创造力的人他们是如何做某件事的，他们会感到有点内疚，因为他们并没有真正做这件事，他们只是看到了一些东西。过了一会儿，他们觉得很明显。这是因为他们能够把自己的经历联系起来，并综合新的事物。
An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.
创造力的一个重要方面是不怕失败。
The imagination is the golden pathway to everywhere.
想象力是通往任何地方的黄金之路。
Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which if it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.
梦是一种纯粹的想象行为，它证明所有人都有一种创造力，如果在醒着的时候有这种创造力，那么每个人都会成为但丁或莎士比亚。
Music. It's all creativity right here, right now.
音乐。这都是创造力，就在此时此地。
