A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
同情
Sympathy
Well, I think that if you sincerely try to imagine what life is like for another person - not in a mocking way, not in a satirical way, but in a sincere, compassionate way - I don't think that's exploitive.
嗯,我认为,如果你真诚地去想象另一个人的生活是什么样的——不是用嘲笑的方式,不是用讽刺的方式,而是用真诚的、富有同情心的方式——我不认为这是剥削。
So I come before you with a budget that is honest in its discussion of our challenges, creative in its possible solutions, compassionate in its commitment to our most vulnerable, and balanced on the bottom line.
因此,我在这里提出一份预算,它诚实地讨论我们面临的挑战,在可能的解决方案上富有创造性,在对我们最脆弱群体的承诺上富有同情心,并在底线上保持平衡。
But what you could perhaps do with in these days is a word of most sincere sympathy. Your movement is carried internally by so strong a truth and necessity that victory in one form or another cannot elude you for long.
但在这些日子里,你也许能做的是一句最真诚的同情。你们的行动被内在如此强大的真理和必然所携带,以至于以某种形式的胜利无法长久地躲避你们。
For at the same time many people seem eager to extend the circle of our moral consideration to animals, in our factory farms and laboratories we are inflicting more suffering on more animals than at any time in history.
与此同时,许多人似乎急于把我们对动物的道德关怀扩展到动物身上,在我们的工厂化农场和实验室里,我们正在给比历史上任何时候都多的动物造成更多的痛苦。
My mother listened to all the news from the camp during the strike. She said little, especially when my father or the men who worked for him were about I remember her instinctive and unhesitating sympathy for the miners.
我母亲在罢工期间听取了来自营地的所有消息。她很少说话,尤其是当我父亲或为他工作的人在场时,我记得她本能地、毫不犹豫地同情矿工。
Do not be afraid of showing your affection. Be warm and tender, thoughtful and affectionate. Men are more helped by sympathy, than by service; love is more than money, and a kind word will give more pleasure than a present.
不要害怕表达你的爱。热情而温柔,体贴而深情。同情比服务更能帮助人们;爱情比金钱更珍贵,一句甜言蜜语比一份礼物更能给人带来快乐。
Actors who are lovers in real life are often incapable if playing the part of lovers to an audience. It is equally true that sympathy between actors who are not lovers may create a temporary emotion that is perfectly sincere.
在现实生活中作为恋人的演员往往无法在观众面前扮演恋人的角色。同样真实的是,不是恋人的演员之间的同情可能创造出一种完全真诚的暂时情感。
Human beings are so made that the ones who do the crushing feel nothing; it is the person crushed who feels what is happening. Unless one has placed oneself on the side of the oppressed, to feel with them, one cannot understand.
人类就是这样被制造出来的,那些做这种事的人什么也感觉不到;被压垮的人才能感觉到正在发生的事情。除非你站在被压迫者一边,和他们一起感受,否则你是无法理解的。
A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.
一个人如果对人类有整体的同情,对人类未来的进步有信心,愿意为人类进步的伟大事业服务,就不应该被称为人道主义者,而应该被称为人道主义者,他的信条可以被称为人道主义。
To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.
我向所有因我们过去的不幸而遭受痛苦的人表示诚挚的慰问和深切的同情。借助历史的后见之明,我们都可以看到我们希望以不同的方式或根本不这样做的事情。
I've always thought of acting as more of an exercise in empathy, which is not to be confused with sympathy. You're trying to get inside a certain emotional reality or motivational reality and try to figure out what that's about so you can represent it.
我一直认为,表演更多的是一种同理心的练习,不要把它与同情混为一谈。你试图进入一个特定的情感现实或动机现实,并试图弄清楚这是什么,所以你可以代表它。
I think we lost a great deal of sympathy and support with the way in which the crisis was handled, most importantly I think when we appeared to be grasping for too much at one time instead of identifying our priorities in a much more responsible fashion.
我认为,我们在处理危机的方式上失去了很多同情和支持,最重要的是,我认为,当我们似乎一次抓得太多,而不是以一种负责任得多的方式确定我们的优先事项时。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The more sympathy you give, the less you need.
你给予的同情越多,你需要的就越少。
If a man is tongue-tied, don't laugh at him, but, rather, feel pity for him, as you would for a man with broken legs.
人若说不出话来,不要笑话他,总要可怜他,像可怜断了腿的人一样。
This world will always continue to be a mixture of good and evil. Our duty is to sympathize with the weak and to Love even the wrongdoer.
这个世界将永远是善与恶的混合体。我们的责任是同情弱者,甚至爱做错事的人。
When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.
当别人让你受苦时,那是因为他内心深处在受苦,他的痛苦正在蔓延。他不需要惩罚;他需要帮助。这就是他要传达的信息。
Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse.
愿你心里怜悯众人的困苦窘迫。愿你的手按着你的资财按比例分给他们。
