Change Has Come to America

Posted on 十一月 11, 2008
Filed Under Speech | Leave a Comment

Obama:
奥巴马：

Hello, Chicago.
您好，芝加哥。

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of ourfounders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of ourdemocracy, tonight is your answer.如果还有人仍在怀疑美国是否是一个一切皆有可能的国度的话，如果还有人仍在疑虑我们美国的缔造者的梦想是否还存在于我们这个时代的话，如果还有人仍在质疑我们民主的力量的话，今晚你就可以得到答案。

It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.这个答案早已经印在了到处悬挂在学校和教堂的竞选条幅上，人们随处可见；这些人们已经等待了三四个小时，对于他们当中的大多数，这是有生以来第一次经历这样的过程，因为他们坚信这一时刻注定与众不同，而这种不同便有可能源自他们所发出的声音。

It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican,black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that wehave never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of redstates and bluestates.这个答案出自这些人之口，无论是青年还是老年，穷人还是富人，民主党还是共和党，黑人还是白人，拉丁裔、亚裔还是美国本土人，同性恋者还是异性恋者，残疾人还是非残疾人——他们向世界发出了这样的信息——

We are, and always will be, the United States of America.我们从来不分红色之州和蓝色之州，我们永远都是美利坚合众国。

It’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.这个答案告诉了那些一直以来充满焦虑、恐惧和怀疑的人们，我们可以将双手放在历史的转折点上，将它再次带向充满希望的美好明天

It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.这一刻我们已经等待了太久，但是今晚，由于我们在这一决定性的时刻所作出的选择，美国便迎来了它崭新的一刻。

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.今天傍晚稍早的时候，我接到麦凯恩参议员一个特别亲切的电话。

Sen.McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they’ve achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.他在这场漫长而艰难的选举中一直努力着，而他为他所热爱的国家所付出的努力甚至更加艰辛而久远。可能我们当中的很多人甚至都无法想象，麦凯恩议员从何时便开始为我们的国家奉献自己，而我们却早已享受到了这位勇敢无私的领导者为国家所做出的贡献。对于他和佩林所付出的努力，我表示衷心的感谢，同时我也期待着，能够和他们一同努力，共同实现我们这几个月来所做出的承诺。

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect ofthe United States, Joe Biden.我要感谢我的竞选伙伴，新当选的美国副总统乔·拜登，这一路走来，他始终遵循着自己内心深处的那个声音，他始终代表着那些和他一起在斯克兰顿街边长大，一起坐着火车回到故乡特拉华州的人们的声音。

And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady Michelle Obama.如果没有过去这16年来挚友的支持，没有稳定的家庭和对生活的爱，没有我们国家的下一位第一夫人，米歇尔·奥巴马，今晚我将不可能站在这里。

Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new White House.马莉娅和萨莎，我也非常爱你们，你们肯定也沉浸在即将入住白宫的喜悦之中。

And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.然而，我的外祖母已永远离开了我们，但我知道她也正和所有支持我的家人一样在看着我。我今晚非常想念他们，而且知道我欠他们的太多。

Tomy sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters,thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them.我的妹妹玛雅，我的妹妹阿尔玛，我的所有其他的兄弟姐妹们，感谢你们给了我这么多的一切支持，我感谢他们。

And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best — the best political campaign, I think,in the history of the United States of America.和我的竞选顾问大卫-Plouffe，此次竞选的无名英雄，我认为，是他打造了美利坚合众国历史上最好的-最好的政治运动。

To my chief strategist David Axelrod who’s been a partner with me every step of the way.我的首席策略师大卫——阿克塞尔罗德，在一个合作伙伴与我的每一步。

To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done.最佳运动队以往任何时候都聚集在历史上的政治你这一点，我永远感谢您什么牺牲得到工作要做。

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.但最重要的是，我永远不会忘记这场胜利的所有者，胜利属于你们，胜利属于你们。

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to thecause.我从来没有对可能的候选人，这个办公室。我们没有开始多少钱或许多签注。我们的运动是不能孵化的大厅华盛顿。它开始在后院得梅因和客厅的和谐与前面门廊的查尔斯顿。这是由工作男性和女性谁挖成小储蓄，他们不得不放弃5美元和10美元和20美元的事业。

It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy who left their homes and their families for jobsthat offered little pay and lesssleep.它成长的力量的年轻人谁拒绝他们神话一代人的冷漠谁离开他们的家园和他们的家属就业提供一点工资和少睡觉。

It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter coldand scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by thepeople, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.它提请强度从不那么谁年轻人冒着严寒和酷暑敲门，门完美的陌生人，并从数以百万计的美国人谁自愿组织和证明，两个多世纪后，人民的政府由人民，为人民还没有灭亡的地球。

This is your victory.这是你们的胜利。

And I know you didn’t do this just to win an election. And I know you didn’t do it for me.我知道你们没有这样做只是为了赢得大选。我知道你没有做到这一点对我来说。

You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead.For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrowwill bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet inperil, the worst financial crisis in acentury.你这样做，是因为你明白任务的艰巨性是摆在面前。即使在我们庆祝今晚，我们知道，明天的挑战将是最大的我们的有生之年-两场战争，地球处于危险，最严重的金融危机的一个世纪。

Even as we stand here tonight, weknow there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and themountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives forus.即使我们今晚站在这里，我们知道有勇敢的美国人起床在沙漠伊拉克和阿富汗山区冒着生命危险为我们。

The reare mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fallasleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage or pay their doctors’bills or save enough for their child’s college education.有父亲和母亲谁将躺在清醒后的孩子入睡和不知道他们会作抵押或支付其医生的法案或储存足够的孩子的大学教育。

There’s new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build,and threats to meet, alliances torepair.有新能源利用，新的工作岗位要建立新的学校建设和威胁，以满足，联盟，以修理。

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there inone year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.未来的路还很长，而且我们正在艰难地攀登在陡峭的山坡之上。我们未必能够在一年或是在一个总统任期之内达到目标，但美国肯定可以。我们肯定可以达到目标，此前我从未有今天晚上的如此信心。

I promise you, we as a people will get there.我向你们承诺，我们肯定可以。

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can’t solve every problem.当然，这一过程肯定还会出现挫折，甚至是不成功的开始。我作为总统所做出的决策，肯定也会有许多人并不赞同。我们知道政府并不能解决所有问题。

But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it’s been done in America for 221 years — blockby block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.但我也会向你们诚恳地交待我们所面临的挑战。我会认真听从你们的建议，尤其是意见不一致的时候。总之，我邀请你们加入到国家再建的工作之中。221年来，我们的国家就是这样一砖一瓦，一点一滴地建造起来的。

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.我们开始于21个月前深冬，不会结束在今年的这个秋天的夜晚结束。

This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for usto make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.这仅仅是胜利而不是我们所寻求的变化。这是唯一的机会，我们做出的改变。并能不会发生，如果我们回到这样的。

It can’t happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.它不能发生没有你，没有一种新的精神服务，新的牺牲精神。

Solet us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where eachof us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.因此，让我们拿出一个新的爱国主义精神，责任感，在我们每个人都决心在球场和努力，并期待后，不仅自己，而且对方。

Letus remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.让我们记住，如果这个金融危机告诉我们什么，那就是我们不能有一个蓬勃发展的同时华尔街主街受到影响。

In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.在这个国家，我们的兴衰，作为一个民族，作为一个人。让我们抵制诱惑，回到属于同一党派和鸡毛蒜皮的小事和不成熟有毒害我们的政治这么久。

Let’s remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.让我们铭记，是这个州的人第一次将共和党的旗帜扛进了白宫，(共和党)是一个将价值观建立在自信、个人自由以及国家团结基础上的政党。

Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.我们所有人都信奉这一价值。民主党今晚获得了巨大的胜利，但我们未来将用谦卑和决心来弥补竞选过程中产生的裂痕。

As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.正如林肯所说，我们不是敌人，而是朋友。我们决不能成为敌人，尽管目前的情绪有些紧张，但决不能容许它使我们之间的亲密情感纽带破裂。

And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president,too.对于那些支持我的美国人，以及那些没有将选票投给我的人，我倾听到了你们的声音，我需要得到你们的帮助，而我也同样是你们的总统。

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.和所有观看今晚从超出了我们的海岸，来自议会和宫殿，那些谁是围着收音机中被遗忘的角落的世界，我们的故事是独特的，但我们的命运是共同的，新的曙光美国领导在手。

To those — to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security:We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beaconstill burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals:democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.那些-那些谁将世界撕裂了：我们将打败你。这些谁寻求和平与安全的：我们支持你。对于所有那些疑惑美国的灯塔是否还会继续明亮燃烧的人，今夜我们将再次证明，我们国家的力量并不是来源来我们的胳膊的臂力，也不是来源于我们的财富，而是源自于我们理念的持久力量。这些理念包括：民主、自由、机会以及坚贞不屈的希望。

That’s the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we’ve already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.这是真正的天才合众国：美国会发生变化。我们的工会可以完善。我们已经取得了让我们希望我们能够而且必须实现的明天。

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that’s on my mind tonight’s about a woman who casther ballot in Atlanta. She’s a lot like the millions of others whostood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for onething: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 yearsold.这次选举有许多优势，许多故事，会被告知几代人。但是，这在我脑海今晚的约一个女人谁投她的选票在亚特兰大。她就像数以百万计的其他人谁站在线，使他们的声音在这次选举中除一件事：尼克松安库珀是106岁。

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons– because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.她出生的一代刚刚过去的奴役;当时有没有汽车在道路上或飞机在天空中;当有人能像她一样不参加表决的原因有两个-因为她是一名女子，由于她的颜色皮肤。

And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America — the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.今晚，我想所有的，她在整个看到她在美国的世纪-在心痛和希望;的斗争和取得的;的时候，我们被告知，我们不能，和人民谁压上与美国的信条：是我们能够做到。

At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.当时妇女的声音被压制和他们的希望被驳回，她活着看到他们站起来，说出并达成的选票。是我们能够做到。

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.当有绝望中的尘埃和抑郁一碗全国的土地，她看到一个民族征服恐惧本身的新政，新的就业机会，一个新的共同使命感。是我们能够做到。

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.当炸弹落在我们的港口和暴政威胁世界，她在那里目睹了一代产生的伟大和民主是保存。是我们能够做到。

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.她在那里的巴士蒙哥马利，软管在英国伯明翰，桥梁塞尔玛和传教士从亚特兰大谁告诉人民，“我们克服。 ”是我们能够做到。

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.一名男子降落在月球上，墙上下来在柏林，世界是连接我们自己的科学和想象力。

And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best oftimes and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.今年，在这次选举中，她谈到她的手指到屏幕上，她和演员投票，因为106年后，在美国，通过最好的时候和最黑暗的时间，她知道怎样可以改变美国。

Yes we can.是我们能够做到。

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves — if our children should live tosee the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?美国，我们来到迄今。我们已经看到这么多。但有这么多事情要做。因此，今夜，让我们反问一下我们自己，如果我们的孩子能够活到下个世纪；如果我的女儿能够幸运地活得像安-尼克森-库珀那样长，他们将会看到什么样的变化？我们那时将会取得什么样的进步？

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.这是我们来回答问题的机会，这是我们的时刻。

This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope.And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.这是我们的时代，要使我们的人民重新工作并将机会留给我们的子孙；重新恢复繁荣并促进和平；回归我们的美国梦想并重申一个基本事实–在众人之中，我们也是其中一个；当我们呼吸，当我们充满希望的时候，我们遭遇冷嘲热讽和质疑，那些人认为我们无法做到。我们将用一句话来做出回应：不，我们可以！

Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.谢谢您。上帝保佑你。愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。

1.一个人总要走陌生的路，看陌生的风景，听陌生的歌，然后在某个不经意的瞬间，你会发现，原本是费尽心机想要忘记的事情真的就那么忘记了。
1. One is always on a strange road, watching strange scenery and listening to strange music. Then one day, you will find that the things you try hard to forget are already gone.

2.幸福，不是长生不老，不是大鱼大肉，不是权倾朝野。幸福是每一个微小的生活愿望达成。当你想吃的时候有得吃，想被爱的时候有人来爱你。
2. Happiness is not about being immortal nor having food or rights in one’s hand. It’s about having each tiny wish come true, or having something to eat when you are hungry or having someone’s love when you need love.

3.爱情是灯，友情是影子，当灯灭了，你会发现你的周围都是影子。朋友，是在最后可以给你力量的人。

3. Love is a lamp, while friendship is the shadow. When the lamp is off, you will find the shadow everywhere. Friend is who can give you strength at last.

4.我爱你不是因为你是谁，而是我在你面前可以是谁。
4.I love you not for who you are, but for who I am before you.

5.爱情，要么让人成熟，要么让人堕落。
5.Love makes man grow up or sink down.

6.举得起放得下的叫举重，举得起放不下的叫负重。可惜，大多数人的爱情，都是负重的。
6. If you can hold something up and put it down, it is called weight-lifting; if you can hold something up but can never put it down, it’s called burden-bearing. Pitifully, most of people are bearing heavy burdens when they are in love.

7．我们每个人都生活在各自的过去中，人们会用一分钟的时间去认识一个人，用一小时的时间去喜欢一个人，再用一天的时间去爱上一个人，到最后呢，却要用一辈子的时间去忘记一个人。
7. We all live in the past. We take a minute to know someone, one hour to like someone, and one day to love someone, but the whole life to forget someone.

8．一个人一生可以爱上很多的人，等你获得真正属于你的幸福之后，你就会明白一起的伤痛其实是一种财富，它让你学会更好地去把握和珍惜你爱的人。
8. One may fall in love with many people during the lifetime. When you finally get your own happiness, you will understand the previous sadness is kind of treasure, which makes you better to hold and cherish the people you love.

9．年轻的时候会想要谈很多次恋爱，但是随着年龄的增长，终于领悟到爱一个人，就算用一辈子的时间，还是会嫌不够。慢慢地去了解这个人，体谅这个人，直到爱上为止，是需要有非常宽大的胸襟才行。
9. When you are young, you may want several love experiences. But as time goes on, you will realize that if you really love someone, the whole life will not be enough. You need time to know, to forgive and to love. All this needs a very big mind.

10．当明天变成了今天成为了昨天，最后成为记忆里不再重要的某一天，我们突然发现自己在不知不觉中已被时间推着向前走，这不是静止火车里，与相邻列车交错时，仿佛自己在前进的错觉，而是我们真实的在成长，在这件事里成了另一个自己。
10. When tomorrow turns in today, yesterday, and someday that no more important in your memory, we suddenly realize that we r pushed forward by time. This is not a train in still in which you may feel forward when another train goes by. It is the truth that we’ve all grown up. And we become different.

11．离开我就别安慰我，要知道每一次缝补也会遭遇穿刺的痛。
11.If you leave me, please don’t comfort me because each sewing has to meet stinging pain.

12．曾经拥有的，不要忘记。不能得到的，更要珍惜。属于自己的，不要放弃。已经失去的，留作回忆。
12. Don’t forget the things you once you owned. Treasure the things you can’t get. Don’t give up the things that belong to you and keep those lost things in memory.

13．我喜欢并习惯了对变化的东西保持着距离，这样才会知道什么是最不会被时间抛弃的准则。比如爱一个人，充满变数，我于是后退一步，静静的看着，直到看见真诚的感情。
13. I love and am used to keeping a distance with those changed things. Only in this way can I know what will not be abandoned by time. For example, when you love someone, changes are all around. Then I step backward and watching it silently, then I see the true feelings.

14．男人的爱是俯视而生，而女人的爱是仰视而生。如果爱情像座山，那么男人越往上走可以俯视的女人就越多，而女人越往上走可以仰视的男人就越少。
14. Men love from overlooking while women love from looking up. If love is a mountain, then if men go up, more women they will see while women will see fewer men.

15．好的爱情是你通过一个人看到整个世界，坏的爱情是你为了一个人舍弃世界。
15.Good love makes you see the whole world from one person while bad love makes you abandon the whole world for one person.

16．在自己面前，应该一直留有一个地方，独自留在那里。然后去爱。不知道是什么，不知道是谁，不知道如何去爱，也不知道可以爱多久。只是等待一次爱情，也许永远都没有人。可是，这种等待，就是爱情本身。
16. We shall always save a place for ourselves, only for ourselves. And then begin to love. Have no idea of what it is, who he is, how to love or how long it will be. Just wait for one love. Maybe no one will come out, but this kind of waiting is the love itself.

17．有谁不曾为那暗恋而痛苦？我们总以为那份痴情很重，很重，是世上最重的重量。有一天，暮然回首，我们才发现，它一直都是很轻，很轻的。我们以为爱的很深，很深，来日岁月，会让你知道，它不过很浅，很浅。最深和最重的爱，必须和时日一起成长。
17. Is there anyone who hasn’t suffered for the secret love? We always think that love is very heavy, heavy and could be the heaviest thing in the world. But one day, when you look back, you suddenly realize that it’s always light, light. We all thought love was very deep, but in fact it’s very thin. The deepest and heaviest love must grow up with the time.

18．在这个世界上，只有真正快乐的男人，才能带给女人真正的快乐。
18.In this world, only those men who really feel happy can give women happiness

19．女人如果不性感，就要感性；如果没有感性，就要理性；如果没有理性，就要有自知之明；如果连这个都没有了，她只有不幸。
19. If a woman is not sexy, she needs emotion; if she is not emotional, she needs reason; if she is not reasonable, she has to know herself clearly. coz only she has is misfortune.

20．一段不被接受的爱情，需要的不是伤心，而是时间，一段可以用来遗忘的时间。一颗被深深伤了的心，需要的不是同情，而是明白。
21. An unacceptable love needs no sorrow but time- sometime for forgetting. A badly-hurt heart needs no sympathy but understanding.

22．我知道这世上有人在等我，但我不知道我在等谁，为了这个，我每天都非常快乐。
22. I know someone in the world is waiting for me, although I’ve no idea of who he is. But I feel happy every day for this.

23．一生至少该有一次，为了某个人而忘了自己，不求有结果，不求同行，不求曾经拥有，甚至不求你爱我。只求在我最美的年华里，遇到你。
23. In your life, there will at least one time that you forget yourself for someone, asking for no result, no company, no ownership nor love. Just ask for meeting you in my most beautiful years.

24.我不觉得人的心智成熟是越来越宽容涵盖，什么都可以接受。相反，我觉得那应该是一个逐渐剔除的过程，知道自己最重要的是什么，知道不重要的东西是什么。而后，做一个纯简的人。
90.I don’t think that when people grow up, they will become more broad-minded and can accept everything. Conversely, I think it’s a selecting process, knowing what’s the most important and what’s the least. And then be a simple man.

25．当你的心真的在痛，眼泪快要流下来的时候，那就赶快抬头看看，这片曾经属于我们的天空；当天依旧是那么的广阔，云依旧那么的潇洒，那就不应该哭，因为我的离去，并没有带走你的世界。
35. When you feel hurt and your tears are gonna to drop. Please look up and have a look at the sky once belongs to us. If the sky is still vast, clouds are still clear, you shall not cry because my leave doesn’t take away the world that belongs to you.

选择 Choose

Filed Under My Writing | Leave a Comment

这个世界就是由选择组成的。我们的生活、我们的喜怒哀乐、我们的生老病死无不是我们做出这样或那样选择的结果；或者，是我们接受这样或那样选择的结果。
The world is made up of choices. Our lives, our emotions or our births and old age, sickness and death are all due to what we chose before, or, what we accepted to be chosen to.

有时候，我以为我至少可以不选择。但是随着时间的流逝，我渐渐明白了，不选择本身也是一种选择。所以，说白了，我们有做出选择的权力，却没有不选择的权力。这听上去有些讽刺，有时候，则确实是一种两难。
I used to believe that I could at least not choose. However, as time flies, I understand gradually that giving up to choose is just one of those choices. So, in another word, we have the right of making choice, but we don’t have the right of not to choose. It does sound like an irony; sometimes it is in truth a dilemma.

我们常常不能预知所有选择的结果。因而，我们做出选择时，常常并不是完全取决于我们想要何种结果。有时候，我们选择因为我们有所求；有时候，我们选择因为我们有所不求，或者，是有所惧。
We always don’t know all the results of choices. Therefore, it always doesn’t depend on what kind of result we want when we make choices. Sometimes we choose because we want something; sometimes we choose because we don’t, or we fear something.

因为害怕分手，所以选择从未开口。
因为害怕失去，所以选择从未拥有。
因为害怕离别，所以选择从未牵手。
也许，仅仅因为害怕本身，所以选择一成不变。
Fear of breaking up, then never ask.
Fear of loosing, then never have.
Fear of leaving, then never hold her hands.
Maybe just because of fear itself, then you refused to change anything.

如果用蒙特霍的问题来拷问我们的执着，执着将和拷问本身同样的毫无意义。但数学魔术是否能通行于所有的选择？既然太多的选择里我们甚至不知道门的后面是否真有山羊，计算自然也就毫无意义。
If judging our insistence with Monty Hall Problem, the insistence may be as same meaningless as the judgment itself. However, does the math magic work on all the choices? Since we even don’t know if there really is a goat behind the door in too many choices, calculation shall be meaningless.

有时候，得到仅仅是我们做出选择的动因，而失去往往会成为选择的结果。不患得失，大丈夫之所为，天下能有几人哉？
Sometimes, to gain is just the motive for our choosing; and to lose shall always be the result. Real saints never worry about worldly gains and losses. Then how many real saints are there in the world?

效率极低人群之七大习惯

7 Habits of Highly Ineffective People

By Henrik Edberg

与通常所列举的应该培养的有益习惯不同，本文在此举出的是我们最好避免的7种习惯。

With a twist to the common list of habits that are useful to establish, here are 7 habits that you do best to avoid.

就像寻找对你有益的习惯一样，寻找妨碍你的习惯同样重要。这7种习惯中大多数都可能会轻易成为你日常生活的一部分，使你难以察觉它的存在（或者它如何影响到你）。我曾经略微尝试了这些习惯，结果毫无疑问，那些重要的事情没有几个可以完成。同时我也要添加说明的是，这只是在生活中你可能形成的影响效率的主要的7个习惯，我很确定绝不仅仅是这些。

Just like finding habits that can be useful for you it’s important to find habits that are holding you back. Most of these 7 habits can easily become such a normal, everyday part of life that you hardly notice it (or how it’s affecting you). I’ve dabbled with all of them quite a bit. Not surprisingly I didn’t get much of the important stuff done. I´d also like to add that these are just 7 broad habits you can establish to become highly ineffective in most parts of your life. I pretty sure there are several more.

 

1、缺席。
也许你曾经听过伍迪·艾伦所说的这句话：
“百分之八十的成功来自于出席。”
更多的出席——这是在生活中你可以保证更多成功所做的最大也是最简单的事情之一，无论是在你的社交生活中，你的事业上还是你的健康方面。如果你想要改善你的健康状况，一个最重要也是最有效的事情就是在每次你该出席时出现在健身房里。
也许天气会不好，也许你会不想出门，也许你有一大堆其他必须要做的事情。但是，如果即使你在积极性不高时仍然继续出现在健身房里，那将比你呆在家里的沙发上放松要有效的多。
我想这个也可以推及到生活的其他领域。如果你每天都坚持写作或绘画，你就会快速的得到提高。如果你更多的出门你就可以遇到更多的新朋友。如果你参加更多的约会，你遇到心上人的机会就会大大提高。仅仅只是更多出席就会使你的生活大大不同。而缺席却会使你毫无收获。

1. Not showing up.
Maybe you’ve heard this quote by Woody Allen:
“Eighty percent of success is showing up”
One of the biggest and simplest thing you can do to ensure more success in your life – whether it be in your social life, your career or with your health – is simply to show up more. If you want to improve your health then one of the most important and effective things you can do is just to show up at the gym every time you should be there.
The weather might be bad, you might not feel like going and you find yourself having all these other things you just must do. If you still go, if you show up at the gym when motivation is low you will improve a whole lot faster than if you just stayed at home relaxing on the sofa.
I think this applies to most areas of life. If you write or paint more, each day perhaps, you will improve quickly. If you get out more you can meet more new friends. If you go on more dates you chances of meeting someone special increases. Just showing up more can really make a big difference. Not showing up will not get you anywhere.

2、拖拖拉拉。
为了简化，我将最喜欢的3种摆脱拖拉情况的方法列举如下：
-吞食青蛙。也就是说在一天的最开始就完成那些最艰难最重要的工作。早上良好的开始会让你一天都保持高昂的情绪和积极的动力。这通常会使你这一天都十分高效。
-你如何吃掉一头大象呢？不要打算一口吃成胖子，这会使你感到过多负担以至于产生拖延的念头。把一项工作分为若干可付诸于行动的小步骤，然后仅仅关注第一步直到把它完成，接下来再继续下一步。
-说服自己。我发现这种向导型调整十分有效。就在我花了20分钟躺在床上反复默念在这几天里我都十分高效之后，我就不再会陷入拖拉的情况或者浏览1至5个我喜爱的网站寻找更新信息的必要。

2. Procrastinating half the day. To keep it short, my 3 favourite ways to get out of a procrastinating state are:
- Swallow that frog. What´s this means is simply to do the hardest and most important task of the day first thing in the morning. A good start in the morning lifts your spirits and creates a positive momentum for the rest of the day. That often creates a pretty productive day.
- How do you eat an elephant? Don´t try to take it all in one big bite. It becomes overwhelming which leads to procrastination. Split a task into small actionable steps. Then just focus on the first step and nothing else. Just do that one until it’s done. Then move on to the next step.
- The Get around to It Paraliminal. I find this guided mediation to be very useful. After 20 minutes of mostly just lying on my bed and listening I’m far more productive for a few days. I don´t feel the urge to sink into that procrastinating state or the need to find out what’s new over at one or five of my favourite websites.

 
3、做一些无关紧要的事情。
除了拖拖拉拉以外，你最容易陷入的不良习惯之一就是忙于一些无关紧要的事情之中。
为了提高效率你也许需要某种时间管理方法。它可能会是一件极为简单的事情，比如在一天的开始使用80/20法则。80/20法则,也就是我们通常所熟悉的帕累托法则认为， 80%的收获源自20%的努力。所以为求高效你应该将你精力的大部分集中在那些极少数重要的事情上。
当使用这个法则时你只需按优先顺序写下这一天你需要做的3件最重要的事情，然后从头做起。即使你只能完成其中的一件事，你仍然完成了今天最重要的事情。也许你也会偏爱其他诸如GTD等方法。但是无论你如何组织工作，最关键的还是寻找那些最重要的工作，这样你就不必花费几天，几个星期甚至几个月的时间去忙于那些并不是很重要的事情。如果这些事情无关紧要，那么即使你快速的完成它们也是没有多大用处的。

3. When actually doing something, doing something that isn’t the most important thing right now.
One of the easiest habits to get stuck in, besides procrastinating, is to keep yourself busy with unimportant tasks.
To be effective you probably need some kind of time management-system. It might be something really simple, like using the 80/20-rule at the beginning of each day. The 80/20 rule, or the Pareto Principle as it´s also known, says that you´ll get 80 percent of your results from only 20 percent of your tasks and activities. So you need to focus most of your energy on those few important tasks to be effective.
When you have prioritized using this rule just write down the top 3 most important things you need to do that day. Then, from the top, start doing them. Even if you just get one of the things done, you have still done the most important thing you could do today. You may perhaps prefer some other system, such as GTD. But however you organise your work it’s still of highest priority to find the most important tasks so you don’t spend days, weeks or months doing busywork that isn’t that essential anyway. Just getting things done faster isn’t that useful if the things you get done are unimportant to you.

4、多虑。
因为多虑而很少采取行动。陷于无穷的分析之中只会使你虚度光阴。行动之前加以思考是没有错的。做一些调查研究，制定一个计划，探究可能存在的积极以及不利因素。
但是强制性的反复思考就会成为另外一种浪费时间的做法了。在尝试之前你没有必要去从每一个角度检查每一件事情。而且你也不可以等到一个最完美的时间再去做事，因为这样的时间从来不会出现。如果你继续这样思考就只会使自己陷的越来越深，从而使采取行动变得越来越难。相反，虽然思考在一定程度上对你有所帮助，但你现在需要做的就只是停止思考，然后去做那些你应该做的事情。

4. Thinking too much.
And thereby seldom taking action. Paralysis by analysis can waste years of your life. There is nothing wrong with thinking before you do something. Do some research, make a plan, explore potential upsides and problems.
But compulsively thinking and thinking and thinking is just another way to waste your time. You don’t have to examine everything from every angle before you try it. And you can’t wait for the perfect time to do something. That time never comes. And if you keep thinking you’ll just dig yourself down deeper and deeper and taking action will become more and more difficult. Instead you just need to stop thinking. Shut of your mind – it just helps you up to a point – and go do whatever you need to do.

5、凡事过于消极。
当你凡事都从消极方面考虑时，你的积极性就会被大大打击。你会发现到处都是问题和错误，而这些问题是本不存在的。你抓住细节不放。如果你想要寻找一个不做某事的理由，这当然没有问题。而当你从一个消极角度看问题时，每次你都可能找出十个借口。
因此你几乎一事无成。你向任何愿意倾听的人诉苦（也许很多人并不想听），抱怨你的工作，生活和领导有多么的差劲。你的生活取决于你如何看待这个世界，这已经成为一个能够自我实现的预测。
对此的一个解决方法就是了解消极方面的限度，认识到你的消极思考并不是这个世界的真实写照。然后不妨尝试一些其他的角度。举例来说，你可以尝试着培养一下凡事从更为积极和乐观的角度思考的习惯，这会对你大有帮助。通过这种方式，你也许就会开始尝试这种积极性的挑战。这并不容易，然而如果你接受了这种挑战，连续7天都只从积极方面思考，你就会突然意识到你看问题的角度和想法是如此深刻地影响着你对世界的理解和你所得到的成果。

5. Seeing the negative and downsides in just about anything.
When you see everything from a negative perspective you quickly punch a hole in your own motivation. You find faults everywhere and problems where there are really none. You cling to details. If you want to find a reason to not do something then that’s no problem. From a negative viewpoint you can find ten reasons every time.
And so very little gets done, you whine to anyone who wants to hear – and many who don’t – about how crappy your job, life and boss is. Which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as you create the life that is appropriate considering how think and see your world.
A solution is to realise the limits of a negative perspective. And that your perspective isn’t some kind of 100% true picture of the world. Then try other perspectives. For instance, trying to establish a habit of seeing things in a more positive and optimistic light can be quite useful. In that vein, you may want to try the Positivity Challenge. It´s not easy, but if you do the challenge and try to only think positive thoughts for 7 days it can give you an insight in how much your perspective and beliefs changes how you interpret your world. And what results you get.

6、固执己见，与世隔绝。
人们很难去承认自己的想法不是最佳选择，因此你越来越执着于自己的想法，变得闭目塞听。这会让你很难取得进步，比如说效率就会很难提高。在这种情况下，即使认真思考改变人生的可能性都会变得很难。
显然，解决方法之一就是打开心胸。开阔视野，从他人和自己的错误中汲取教训，从书籍等资源中获取知识。与任何事一样，这事说起来容易做起来难。正如前面所说，对此我的建议就是认识到你的知识领域毕竟是有限的，而你做事的方式也会存在不足。那么不妨就尝试一下新事物吧。
而我的另一条建议就是，阅读一下埃克哈特·托利的《新天地》，特别是有关Ego的章节。正如托利所建议的，如果你不再像Ego那样思考，你就会更加容易接受新思想，抛弃那些已经无用的旧思想。另外我想要补充说明的就是：不要迷信书本，也不要盲目追求新的信息，否则你就会成为一个沉迷于自我帮助的人。在行动中运用那些新信息和你学到的事情，然后加以尝试。

6. Clinging to your own thoughts and being closed to outside influences.
It can be hard to admit that what you thought or believed was not the best alternative. So you cling to your thoughts harder and harder and keep your mind closed. This makes it hard to improve and for instance to become more effective. Even really considering the possibility that you can change your life can be difficult in this position. One solution, obviously, is to open up more. To open up and learn from the mistakes of others, from your own mistakes and from other sources like books. This is easy to say though. It can, as almost anything, be harder to do. One suggestion I have is to, like I said about the previous habit, realise the limits of what you know and the way you going about things. And then just try something new.
Another tip is to read A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and especially look at the chapters about the Ego. If you stop identifying so much with your thoughts and your Ego, as Tolle prescribes, it becomes a whole a lot easier to let new ideas and thoughts come into your life. And to let go of old thoughts that aren’t useful to you anymore. On the other hand I’d like to add and counter-balance with these tips: don’t get stuck in reading, in just taking in new information either or you might become a self-help junkie. Use the new information, put what you have learned in to action and try it out.

7、持续信息过剩。
信息过剩并不是说你过多的阅读，我所指的是所有输入信息的过剩。如果你让所有的信息都涌进大脑，这当然会导致难于清晰思考，因为刺激源太多了。以下就是这种习惯可能会存在的弊端：
-你所接受的一些信息也许会是消极的。媒体和周围环境会因种种原因提供一种消极的信息。如果你没有根据需要对信息加以选择，也许你就会陷入消极之中，从而影响到你的所思，所感，所为。
-这会使你急于追赶当今发生的事情，然而每时每刻都有十几件事同时发生，想要追赶上它们几乎是不可能的事情。你的生活会因此充满压力。
-如果你持续被信息轰炸，并且还试图将所有信息分类，那么你将很难做出决定并采取行动。就我个人而言，如果我得到过多的信息，就会造成某种形式上的瘫痪，一事无成。或者你会被这种习惯所困，终日急于忙碌在一些非重要的事情上。
为了可以集中精力，清晰思考并付诸行动，你就需要在吸取信息时更有选择性。当你工作时尽可能的避免那些分散注意力的事物。关掉电话，断开网络，关上大门。你就会不可思议的发现，当你没有每隔五分钟就被打扰一次，没有机会因浏览RSS-feeds或喜爱的网站而拖延时，居然可以完成这么多的事情。
现在并不是说我建议你们停止阅读所有的博客或报纸。但是一定要清楚哪些是你真正想要阅读的，哪些只是用来打发时间的。同时你也可以查看其他开阔性信息的领域。
比如说，你没有必要陷入所有来自周围环境的消极情绪。如果周围的所有人都在拖延或者焦急的忙于各种非重要的事情时，你会很容易被这种情绪所影响。如果你有一扇心灵之门，关上它而去关注更为重要的事情，这会是个不错的主意。

7. Constantly on information overload.
With information overload I don’t just mean that you read a lot. I pretty much mean an overload in all input. If you just let all information flow into your mind it will be hard to think clearly. It’s just too much stimulation. A few more potential downsides to this habit are:
- Some of the input you receive will be negative. The media and your surroundings often put a negative spin on things for various reasons. If you aren´t selective in what input you want in your life then you’ll be dragged into this negativity too. This affects how you think, feel and act.
- It creates an urge to keep up with what’s happening but there are always ten more things happening so you can’t keep up. This makes life stressful.
- It becomes hard to make decisions and take action if your mind is constantly bombarded with information or trying to sort through it all. Personally I find that if I get too much information it leads to a sort of paralysis. Not much get´s done. Or you get stuck in habit #3 and keep busy, busy, busy at high speed with low priority activities.
To be able to focus, think more clearly and take action it´s useful to be more selective in what you let into your mind. When you work shut out as much distractions as possible. Shut off the phone, internet and shut the door. It is strange how much you can get done when you aren´t interrupted every fifth minute or have the opportunity to procrastinate by checking your RSS-feeds or favourite websites.
Now I´m not suggesting that you should stop reading all blogs or newspapers. But think about what you really want to read and what you read just read to fill your time. And have a look at other areas of input where the doors are wide-open.
For instance, you don´t have to let in all the negative emotions from your surroundings. If everyone else are procrastinating or are anxiously keeping themselves busy by doing low-priority tasks at warp speed it´s easy to be influenced by that mood. If you have a door, then it might be good idea to shut it and focus on doing more important things.

Cassandra’s Dream A Tragedy of Human Nature

Posted on 七月 16, 2008
Filed Under My Writing | 2 Comments

Cassandra, the beauty having the gift of prophecy. In Greek mythology, Cassandra (also known as Alexandra) was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. Her beauty caused Apollo to grant her the gift of prophecy. However, when she did not return his love, Apollo placed a curse on her so that no one would ever believe her predictions.

The movie’s name, Cassandra’s Dream, intimates us that it would be an implausible story.

Maybe we, normal people, do have choices whatever difficulties we faced up with. However, few of people can insist this thought when they were in some situations. As the saying goes, he who avoids temptation avoids the sin. Temptation is always in our way. If plus some fear or panic, we may be fools. We just lose all the mind about “principles” or “Good” or “Integrity”. Like Uncle Howard said “survive”.

Yeah,”survive” not “live”. Humans live, animals survive. Live means not only being alive but also a good future, a real life, maybe good cars, big house and women, too. There is a crook in the lot of every one. The problem is how could we find the third choice? We could be driven crazy by anything at anytime. No matter how normal your life is, accidents or affairs will come to you themselves. This may depress us itself.

This essay is not a methodology. I’m finding the way myself. Any thoughts would be welcomed. J

Q：Arouse 、 rouse 两字有什么分别？

A：查《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》， arouse 是「激起」或「唤醒」， rouse 也是「激起」或「唤醒」，无法看出有什么分别。事实上，两字也大致通用，例如： I aroused / roused him early in the morning （我大清早就把他唤醒）。

 

一般而言， arouse 多指激发感情， rouse 则多指把人激发，所以 rouse 的受词（ object ）往往是人， arouse 的受词往往是说感情的字，例如：

（1 ） The proposed sales tax has aroused strong opposition （征收销售税的提议，引起强烈反对）。

（2 ） The sight of the woman holding her dead child aroused my pity （看见那女人抱死去的孩子，令我动了同情心）。

（3 ） A loud fanfare of trumpets roused everyone （一阵响亮喇叭声，令大家精神一振）。

（4 ） His shamelessness roused me to anger （他非常无耻，令我心头火起）。

留意头两句用 roused 、后两句用 aroused 也可以，只是没有那么常见。

 

此外，说挑起性欲，习惯用 arouse 一字，不用 rouse ，名词是 arousal ，例如：

（1 ） The rapist said the victim’s miniskirt aroused him （那强奸犯说，受害人穿的迷你裙挑起他的情欲）。

（2 ） He looked at the girl, and swallowed hard in apparent arousal （他望那女郎，猛咽口水，显然欲火烧心）。

 

Q2：May you trust your God that you are exactly where you are meant to be 一语，是什么意思？

A2：这句似乎不必特别解释，翻译成中文就可以：愿你信赖上帝，明白自己目前的境遇，正是上天的安排

Q：The company was to blame for shrinking revenues 这一句，可不可以改作 The company was blamed for shrinking revenues ？

A：The company was blamed / was to blame for shrinking revenues 两个说法都正确，只是意思有点不同。

 

Blame 有两个意思，一是「责备」，用法和普通及物动词（ transitive verb ）相同，有主动（ active voice ）和被动语态（ passive voice ），例如：

He blamed the pedestrian for the accident / The pedestrian was blamed for the accident （他责备那个引起这宗意外事故的行人/那行人因引起这宗意外事故而被责备）。

Blame 的另一个意思，是「应负上过失的责任」或「应受责备」，习惯用在 be to （即 am to 、 was to 等）之后，例如：

The pedestrian was to blame for the accident （论这宗意外事故，过失在那行人）。这一句的 pedestrian 看似句子主词（ subject ），却可以说是 blame 的受词（ object ），所以 blame 之后不可再有受词。这句式颇为奇怪，不少初学者都感迷惑，也没有其他主动、被动语态。

读者也许会问： The pedestrian was to be blamed for the accident 不是被动语态吗？按 be to 一般解作「将会」， He was to blame the pedestrian for the accident / The pedestrian was to be blamed for the accident 即「他将会责备那行人引起这宗意外事故」，这是上述 blame 的第一个意思，和 The pedestrian was to blame for the accident 不同。

读者说的两句，

The company was blamed for shrinking revenues，意思是「由于收入减少，公司受到责备」，

The company was to blame for shrinking revenues，意思是「收入减少，过失在公司」

Wellington served as commander of the British forces in the Peninsular War between Britain and France. As the war progressed, the soldiers of his army became adept at living off the country. On one occasion, Wellington himself caught a soldier staggering along carrying a stolen beehive.

“Hallo, sir, where did you get that beehive?” asked Wellington.

The soldier obviously did not recognise his commander nor understand his question, for he replied, “The beehives, sir, are over that hill. But you had better hurry before they have all been taken.”

威灵顿在英、法半岛战争之中任英军司令，其间他麾下的士兵渐渐精通取之于民用之于我。有一次，威灵顿亲自碰到一名士兵偷了个蜂巢，抱在路上走，走得十分吃力。

威灵顿问：「喂，老兄，蜂巢是哪来的？」

那士兵显然不认得他的指挥官，也不明白威灵顿这个问题的含义。他回答说：「老兄，蜂巢在山的那边。你最好快点走，迟了，恐怕都被拿去了。」

 

【附注】 Adept 是「精通」或「熟练」，其后习惯用 in 或 at 带出精通的事情，例如： He was adept in / at copywriting （他擅长撰写广告）。

Adept 也可用来形容技巧，例如： His paintings are remarkable for the adept use of colours （他的油画，色彩运用精妙，殊足称道）。

Live off 指「靠……过活」，常带贬义，例如： He lived off his wife all his life （他一生都靠老婆养活）。说士兵 live off the country ，是指靠当地出产的粮食过活。本文的 live off 当然带「非法取得粮食」含义。

Q: 翻译 quality 一字，quality 是「质素」还是「素质」？有人说「素质」是新中国词语，以前没有，对吗？

A:春秋时代《管子．势》说用兵宜主静，而求静必须素质虚空：「素质不留，与地同极。」「素质」不是新中国词语，一九七一年初版的梁实秋《最新实用汉英辞典》以及一九七四年初版的何容《国语日报辞典》，都只有「素质」，没有「质素」。

 

至于「质素」一词，出现时代似乎晚于「素质」，一九四七年初版的《辞海》有「质素」而无「素质」，但这两个词其实可以通用。当然，翻译 quality 一字，不一定要用「素质」或「质素」，例如： One important quality of gold is its malleability （黄金的一个重要特质，是延展力强）。

Quality 和「素质」最不同的，是 quality 可用在名词之前，作形容词，指「上等的」，推销员、商业广告等尤其爱用这个字，例如：

（1 ） We are a company specialising in quality self-assembly furniture （敝公司专门经营上等的自行装配家具）。

（2 ） The restaurant aims to provide quality food and service （这家餐厅务求膳食精美，服务优良）。这个 quality ，不可直译做「素质」，而现代汉语必须以英文为骨汉字为肉，那怎么办？有现代汉语高手想到「优质」二字。从此优质家具、优质膳食、优质服务、优质 XYZ 等大行其道，「上品」、「一流」、「高级」等中文词语一扫而空，是之谓优质汉语

 

Sucirst 点评：

翻译成 质量 即可。
