A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
I'm very much a creative person, but you've got to do the follow-through. A lot of people start out with an exciting thing and they want to take over the world, but really the people who do take over the world have a good plan of how to get there and the steps along the way.
我是一个很有创造力的人,但你必须坚持到底。很多人从一件令人兴奋的事情开始,他们想要接管这个世界,但是真正接管这个世界的人有一个很好的计划,关于如何做到这一点,以及在这个过程中的步骤。
I guess there's a certain amount of poking fun at certain characters, but that's because there is something amusing about them or about the way they behave, so I guess you can say that that's poking fun at the character. But the character is your own invention, so who cares?
我猜对某些角色有一定程度的取笑,但那是因为他们或他们的行为方式有一些有趣的地方,所以我猜你可以说那是在取笑这个角色。但这个角色是你自己创造的,所以谁在乎呢?
Creation is dominated by three absolutely different factors: First, nature, which works upon us by its laws; second, the artist, who creates a spiritual contact with nature and his materials; third, the medium of expression through which the artist translates his inner world.
创造受三个完全不同的因素支配:第一,大自然,它的法则作用于我们;第二,艺术家,他创造了与自然和他的材料的精神接触;第三,表达的媒介,通过艺术家翻译他的内心世界。
Each song has its own secret that's different from another song, and each has its own life. Sometimes it has to be teased out, whereas other times it might come fast. There are no laws about songwriting or producing. It depends on what you're doing, not just who you're doing.
每首歌都有自己不同于其他歌的秘密,每首歌都有自己的生命。有时它必须被梳理出来,而有时它可能来得很快。没有关于歌曲创作或制作的法律。这取决于你在做什么,而不仅仅是你在做谁。
Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.
创造力是一个很好的动力,因为它使人们对他们正在做的事情感兴趣。创造力给了我们希望,让我们有一个有价值的想法。创造力使每个人都有可能取得某种成就。创造力使生活变得更有趣。
I conceived of an instrument that would create sound without using any mechanical energy, like the conductor of an orchestra. The orchestra plays mechanically, using mechanical energy; the conductor just moves his hands, and his movements have an effect on the music artistry.
我设想了一种不用任何机械能就能发出声音的乐器,就像管弦乐队的指挥一样。管弦乐队用机械能演奏;指挥家只是动动手,他的动作对音乐的艺术性产生了影响。
Stories, as much as we like to talk about them, retrospectively, as emanations of theme or worldview or intention, occur primarily as technical objects when they're being written. Or at least they do for me. They're the result of thousands of decisions made at speed during revision.
故事,尽管我们很喜欢谈论它们,回顾过去,作为主题、世界观或意图的发散,当它们被写出来的时候,主要是作为技术对象发生的。至少对我来说是这样。它们是在修改过程中快速做出的数千个决定的结果。
In many ways, theatre is more rewarding for a writer. I used to think it was like painting a wall - that when the play is finished, it's done - but now I realise it's more like gardening; you plant the thing, then you have to constantly tend it. You're part of a thing that's living.
在许多方面,戏剧对作家来说更有价值。我曾经认为这就像油漆一堵墙——当戏剧结束时,它就完成了——但现在我意识到这更像是园艺;你种下这个东西,然后你必须不断地照料它。你是生命的一部分。
There's this inherent screenplay structure that everyone seems to be stuck on, this three-act thing. It doesn't really interest me. To me, it's kind of like saying, 'Well, when you do a painting, you always need to have sky here, the person here and the ground here.' Well, you don't.
有一个固有的剧本结构,似乎每个人都被困在这个三幕的东西。我真的不感兴趣。对我来说,这就像在说,‘嗯,当你画画的时候,你总是需要这里有天空,这里有人和地面。“嗯,你不知道。
A creative mindset is in increasingly high demand: employers are vying for workers who are able to dream big and deliver big with the next must-have product. Creative thinking fuels innovation, it leads to new goods and services, creates jobs and delivers substantial economic rewards.
创新思维的需求越来越大:雇主们都在争夺那些能够胸怀大志、推出下一款必备产品的员工。创造性思维推动创新,带来新的商品和服务,创造就业机会,并带来可观的经济回报。
I'm drawn to the classic antihero, the guy who's probably made a bunch of mistakes and really has the capacity to go either way. That's the most interesting type of character for me to watch, to see what decisions they'll make. There's a lot of gray area there for a writer to explore.
我被一个典型的反英雄人物所吸引,这个人可能犯了很多错误,但他真的有能力选择其中一种。对我来说,这是最有趣的角色类型,看看他们会做出什么样的决定。对于作家来说,有很多灰色地带有待探索。
I don't see a difference between playing a performance capture role and a live action role, they're just characters to me at the end of the day and I'm an actor who wants to explore those characters in fantastically written scripts. The only caveat is a good story is a good character.
我看不出表演捕捉角色和真人动作角色之间有什么区别,他们只是我在一天结束时的角色,而我是一个演员,我想用精彩的剧本来探索这些角色。唯一需要注意的是,一个好的故事就是一个好的角色。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The urge to write poetry is like having an itch. When the itch becomes annoying enough, you scratch it.
写诗的冲动就像发痒一样。当痒得够烦人的时候,你就挠它。
A blank page is no empty space. It is brimming with potential... It is a masterpiece in waiting -- yours.
空白页不是空白。它充满了潜力……这是等待中的杰作——你的。
The glory of each generation is to make its own precedents.
每一代人的荣耀在于创造自己的先例。

Imagination is a poor matter when it has to part company with understanding.
当想象力不得不与理解分开时,它是一件可怜的事情。
