爱因斯坦语录
1
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
【一】神秘,是人类所能经历的最美的事物。它是一切真艺术和科学的源头。那些失去了这种情感,已不再会惊奇地驻足、敬畏地伫立的人,近乎已死:他们的眼睛已经闭上了。 2
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
【二】人的道德行为,应该全盘建立在同情、教育和社会关系基础上;宗教则绝非必要。被对惩罚的恐惧和对死后回报的希望所束缚,真的很可怜。
3
The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.
【三】人类的精神嬗变愈是前进,我愈是确信,通向真正的虔诚的道路不在于对生、死的恐惧和盲目的信仰,而在于对理性知识的求得。
4
...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
【四】„„将人类引向艺术和科学的一个最强烈的动机,是自充斥着令人痛苦的粗俗和令人无望的枯燥的日常生活中、从自己不断生灭的各色欲望的枷锁里出逃。性情高 雅者总是渴望从红尘浮世遁入客观的洞察、思考空间。
5
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
【五】我鄙视那些兴致高昂地踏乐而行的军人。他们的大脑可谓白长,因为对他们而言,仅仅脊椎便已足够。此种文明的耻辱,应立时废止。指挥棒下的英雄主义、无谓的兽行,及一切自称为爱国主义的可憎愚行,真是可恨至极,战争是多么卑鄙无耻;与其参与这种下流行动,我宁愿被撕成碎片!我坚信,打着战争幌子的杀伐,不过是谋杀而已。
6
A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
【六】一个人,是被我们称为“宇宙”的整体的一部分,存在于有限的时间和空间中。他经历着自我,自己的思想和感情,并认为这些与外界无关„„这是一种知觉的视觉假象。这种假象就像一个监狱将我们囚于其中,将我们局限在各色个人欲望和对若干亲近之人的关爱中。我们必行的任务,是通过将自己的同情范畴拓展至所有生物,以及欣赏整个大自然的美,来将自己从这个监狱中解脱。
7

【二十一】对我来说,等式更重要,因为政治是暂时的,等式却是永久的。
22
If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
【二十二】若A为人生中的一项成就,那么A就等于X加Y加Z。X是工作,Y是娱乐,Z是缄默。
23
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.
【二十三】两样东西是无限的:宇宙和人的愚蠢;且对于宇宙,我还说不准。
24
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain,
they do not refer to reality.
【二十四】和现实相关的数学定律都是不确定的,确定的数学定律都是和现实无关的。 25
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
【二十五】我不知道第三次世界大战会有何等武器上场,但我知道第四次世界大战里只会有棍棒和石块了。
26
No, this trick won't work...How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?
【二十六】这招就不管用了。。。化学和物理怎么解释得了初恋这么重大的生物现象呢? 27
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
【二十七】我的宗教信仰,是对在人类愚弱的心智也能察知的细节中显露着自己的无量高灵的谦恭的敬服。

29
Most teachers waste their time by asking questions which are intended to discover what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning has for its purpose to discover what the pupil knows or is capable of knowing.
【二十九】大多数教师把时间浪费在提那些意在发现学生之所不知的问题上,而真正的提问的艺术则意在发现学生之所知,或所能知。

People
人
I admire people with gentle manners who treat other people as human beings. I abhor quarrelsome people. I abhor people who wage paper-warfare. Confessions of an Advertising Man
我佩服温文有礼,以诚待人者。我憎恶那些争论不休的人。我痛恨那些打笔战的人。
If you always hire people who are smallerthan you are,we shall become a company of dwarfs. If,on the other hand,you always hire people who are bigger than you are, we shall become a company of giants.
如果你经常雇用比你弱小的人,将来我们就会变成侏儒公司;如果你每次都雇用比你能干的人,日后我们必定成为一家巨人公司。
If you ever find a man who is better than you are-hire him. If necessary,pay him more than you pay yourself. Principles of Management
当你发掘到一个比你还杰出的人才,立即雇用他。必要时,付给他比自己还高的薪水。
I despise toadies who suck up to their bosses;they are generally the same people who bully their subordinates.
我鄙视对上司谄媚奉承的马屁精;这种人通常也擅于欺凌威协他们的下属。
ADVERTISING PEOPLE
广告人
Advertising is a business of words,but advertising agencies are infested with men and women who cannot write. They are as helpless as deaf mutes on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera. Confessions of an Advertising Man
广告是一个文字的行业,但很多广告代理商却充斥着无法写作的男女。他们就像在大都会歌剧院舞台上的聋哑人,一样的茫然无助。
I don't believe in this specialisation. Who said that there's one breed of cat which is an account executive,and then there are the creative people-and they are quite different? This has been perpetuated by both sides for years. It's nonsense.
我从来不相信所谓的专科分类。谁说有些人是天生的业务人员,而另一些就该是创意人员—真的有那么不同吗?双方人员长久以来所信奉的分类,其实是毫无意义的。{AS语录}.
In most agencies,account executives outnumber the copywriters two to one. If you were a dairy farmer,would you employ twice as many milkers as you had cows
在大部分的广告代理商,业务人员的数目,往往是文案人员的两倍。如果你是个酪农,你所雇用的挤牛奶工人,会比牛只数目多一倍吗?
CREATIVE PEOPLE
创意人
Few of the great creators have bland personalities. They are cantankerous egotists,the kind of men who are unwelcome in the modern corporation. Confessions of an Advertising Man
伟大的创作家很少具有温和的个性。他们是不易相处的自我主义者,是现代企业中不受欢迎的一群。
ACCOUNT EXECUTIVES
业务人员
Madison Avenue is full of masochists who unconsciously provoke rejection by their clients. I now brilliant men who have lost every account they have ever handled. Confessions of an Advertising Man
麦迪逊大道充塞着许多被虐待狂,他们总在无意识中煽动起客户的排拒感;我认识一些出色能干的人,总被客户辞退。
One of the most brilliant colleagues I ever had was blackballed by three clients in one year;the experience hurt him so badly that he left the agency business for ever. If you are too thin-skinned to survive this hazard,you should not become an account executive in an advertising agency.
我曾与一个极为出色的人共事,他在一年之内被三个客户解雇;这经验对他伤害极深,并教他永永远远离开广告这行业。假如你是个脸皮薄、无法在险运中生存的人,就不要在广告公司担任业务人员。
COMMITTEES
委员会
A lot of advertisements and television commercials look like minutes of a committee meeting,and that is what they are. Advertising seems to sell most when it is written by a solitary individual. He must study the product,the research and the precedents. Then he must shut the door of his office and write the advertisements.
许多平面及电视广告,看起来就像委员会开会的会议记录,事实也是如此。最具销售力的广告,往往是由个人独立完成的作品。他必先深入研究产品,调查资料及其他案例,然后关紧办公室大门,埋首做广告。
Nowadays it is the fashion to pretend that no single individual is ever responsible for a successful advertising campaign. This emphasis on "teamwork"is bunkum-a conspiracy of the mediocre majority.
很多人认为,一个成功的广告活动不是一人之功。这种强调「团队合作」的论调其实是欺人之谈—是平凡庸碌之辈的阴谋。
LEADERSHIP
领导
Do not summon people to your office-it frightens them. Instead go to see them in their offices. This makes you visible throughout the agency. A Chairman who never wanders about his agency becomes a hermit,out of touch with his staff.
叫人到你的办公室,只会吓怕他们;走到他们的办公室看看吧!你将更了解公司的状况。一个从不四处走动的管理人员,久而久之将形同离群索居的隐士,与员工失去联系。
Our offices must always be headed by the kind of men who command respect. Not phonies,zeros or bastards.
公司应该由备受敬重的人领导,而不是伪君子、一无是处的小人,或拙劣之徒。
CLIENTS
客户
I always use my clients' products. This is not toadyism but elementary good manners.
我总是用客户的产品。这并不是谄媚奉承,而是良好的基本态度。
Don't expect your agency to pay for all the dry holes they drill on your behalf. Confessions of an Advertising Man
当代理商为你在荒井掘泉之际,不应期望他们负担所有的费用。
The best way to get new accounts is to create for our present clients the kind of advertising that will attract prospective clients. We do not have new business departments in our offices. No first class man will take the job;no second class man can do it effectively.
赢得新客户的最好方法,就是为现有客户创造出色的广告,从而吸引潜在客户。在我们的公司里没有专门开发新客户的部门,因为一流的人才不会做这样的工作,而二流的人则做不好。
If you resign accounts every time you feel like doing so,you will empty your portfolio every year. 如果你每次想辞退客户时,就真的这么做,那你的客户名单将所剩无几。
CONSUMERS
消费者
You aren't advertising to a standing army;you are advertising to a moving parade. Three million consumers get married every year. The advertisement which sold a refrigerator to those who got married last year will probably be just as successful with those who'll get married next year. Anadvertisement is just like a radar sweep,constantly hunting new prospects as they come into the market. Get a good radar and keep it sweeping.
你不是对一群站立不动的士兵做广告,而是针对正在前进的游行队伍。每年有三百万的消费者结为连理。若一个针对新婚夫妇的电冰箱广告,于今年创下佳绩,对明年将结婚的人也可能会一样成功。广告好比雷达扫描器一般,在新的消费者进入市场的同时,持续不断的猎取潜在顾客。找一个好雷达,并让它持续运转吧。{AS语录}.
The consumer isn't a moron;she is your wife. You insult her intelligence if you assume that a mere slogan and a few vapid adjectives will persuade her to buy anything. She wants all the information
you cangive her.
消费者不是白痴;她是你的妻子。如果你认为只要一句广告词配上一些索然无味的形容词,就可以说服她去买任何东西,那你是在侮辱她的智慧。她要的是所有你能提供的资讯。 THE POWER OF ADVERTISING
广告的力量
I once found myself conspiring with a President of the Board of Trade as to how we might persuade H.M. Treasury to cough up more money for the British Travel advertising in America. Said Sir David Eccles,"Why does any American in his senses spend his holidays in the cold damp of an English summer when he could equally well bask under Italian skies? Ican only suppose that your advertising is the answer."Quite so.
有一次我和英国的内阁阁员共襄大事——我们计划如何说服英皇陛下的财务大臣,使其同意提高英国旅游业在美国推广的预算。他说道:「为什么一个意识清醒的美国人,要在又湿又冷的英国夏季耗掉他的假日,而其实他右以选择在意大利的蓝天下享受日光浴?我想你的广告便是答案。」一语中的。
PROFESSIONAL DISCIPLINE
专业锻炼
I frequently hear the Magic Lanterns described as rules. They are not rules. They are reports. Reports on how consumers react to different stimuli. If it were possible to create great advertising merely by studying the Lanterns,any damn fool could do it. More is required:innovative genius. The Lanterns only light the way for genius,indicating the most fruitful path to explore.
我经常听到「神灯系列」被奉为圭臬。「神灯」并非金科玉律,而是几篇有关消费者如何回应不同外在刺激的报告。如果只靠研读「神灯」就可以创作出好广告,那任何一个白痴都做得到。好广告更需要勇于创新的天才。「神灯」只为天才们引路,指向那条等待发掘的丰沛途径。
创意会议报告
Shakespeare wrote his sonnets within a strict discipline,fourteen lines of iambic pentameter,rhyming in three quatrains and a couplet. Were his sonnets dull? Mozart wrote sonatas within an equally rigid discipline-exposition,development,and recapitulation.
Were they dull?
莎士比亚以严格的规则写十四行诗,其中节拍鲜明,抑扬顿挫,隐含着韵律之美。难道他的十四行诗沉闷吗?莫扎特写奏鸣曲也是遵循一个相当严格的法则——起、承、转、合。难道他的乐曲沉闷吗?
Supposing you've got an acute appendicitis. You've got to be operated on tonight. Would you like to have a surgeon who's read some books of anatomy and knows how to do that operation-or would you prefer to have a surgeon who refused to read all books about anatomy and relied on his own instinct? Why should a manufacturer bet his money-perhaps the future of his company-on your instinct?
假设你患了急性阑尾炎,必须在今天晚上动手术。你希望是一个研读过解剖学的外科医生,还是一个拒绝阅读有关书籍,只相信自己直觉的人来替你动这个手术呢?为什么厂商愿意拿
金钱——甚至是他公司的前途——压注在你的直觉上呢?
I had a friend who was the King's surgeonin England. One day I asked him what makes a great surgeon. He replied,"What distinguishes a great surgeon is his knowledge. He knows more than other surgeons. During an operation he finds something which he wasn't expecting,recognizes it and knows what to do about it."
It's the same thing with advertising people. The good ones know more. How do you get to know more? By reading books about advertising. By picking the brains of people who know more than you do. From the Magic Lanterns. And from experience. I can't stand callow amateurs who aren't sufficiently interested in the craft of advertising to assume the posture of students.
我有个朋友是英国的御用外科医生。有一天,我问他如何成为一个优秀的外科医师。他回答道:「外科医师的朗窳在于其知识渊博的程度。优秀的外科医师懂得比其他人多。在手术的过程中,当他发现超乎他预期的问题时,他可以辨识出症结所在,并懂得如何处理。」广告人也是一样。懂得愈多的人愈优秀。如何知道得更多呢?阅读更多有关广告的书籍,从那些懂得比你多的人的身上学习,由「神灯系列」及经验中,发掘更多的知识。我无法忍受并不热衷于广告的外行人,装扮成学生的样子。
POSITIONING
品牌定位
The most important decision is how to position your product. How to Create Advertising that Sells 最重要的决策是如何替你的产品定位。
A lot of successful advertising was created before POSITIONING was invented. And a lot of today's campaigns are based on optimum positioning but are totally ineffective-because they are dull,or badly constructed,or ineptly written. If nobody reads your advertisement or looks at your commercial,it doesn't do you much good to have the right positioning.
有很多成功的广告是在「定位」前创造的。现时有许多活动是以最理想的品牌定位为前题,但却完全不见彰效——因为它们索然无味,或是架构很差,或者是用字遣词不适当。即使有合适的品牌定位,如果没有人去读去看你的平面或电视广告,一切也是无效。{AS语录}.
BRAND IMAGE
品牌形象{AS语录}.
Every advertisement must contribute to the complex symbol which is the brand image.
所有广告都应该有助于建立一个复杂的象征符号,即品牌形象。
Most manufacturers are reluctant to accept any limitation on the image of their brand. They want it to be all things to allpeople. They want their brand to be a male brand and a female brand. An upper class brand and a plebeian brand. They generally end up with a brand which has no per sonality of any kind,a wishy washy neuter.No capon ever rules the roost.
大多数的厂商都不愿意接受自己的品牌形象有局限;他们想要面面俱圆的大众品牌——属于男性也属于女性,是上流社会也是市井小民的品牌。这种四处讨好的心理只会让品牌完全丧失个性,而成为平淡无味的无性商品。自古至今,太监无法当皇帝,正是同样的道理。
《小王子》中的经典语录(中英文对照)
《小王子》中的经典语录(中英文对照)
《小王子》是作家安东尼·德·圣埃克苏佩里于1942年写成的著名法国儿童文学短篇小说。本书的主人公是来自外星球的小王子。书中以一位飞行员作为故事叙述者,讲述了小王子从自己星球出发前往地球的过程中,所经历的各种历险。作者以小王子的孩子式的眼光,透视出成人的空虚、盲目,愚妄和死板教条,用浅显天真的语言写出了人类的孤独寂寞、没有根基随风流浪的命运。同时,也表达出作者对金钱关系的批判,对真善美的讴歌。分享其中的一些经典语录。
1、You know — one loves the sunset, when one is so sad…
你知道的—当一个人情绪低落的时候,他会格外喜欢看日落……
2、If someone loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself, ―Somewhere, my flower is there…‖ But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all his stars will be darkened… And you think that is not important!
倘若一个人对一朵花情有独钟,而那花在浩瀚的星河中,是独一无二的,那么,他只要仰望繁星点点,就心满意足了。他会喃喃自语:―我的花就在星河的某个角落……‖可是,这花一旦被羊吃掉了,一瞬间,所有星星都将随之黯淡无光……那你也认为这不重要吗?
3、Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her… 花总是表里不一,而我太年轻了,不知道该怎样爱护她……
4、For she did not want him to see her crying. She was such a proud flower… 她其实是不愿意让小王子看到自己哭泣。她曾经是多么高傲的一朵花……
5、My flower is ephemeral, and she has only four thorns to defend herself against the world. And I have left on my planet, all alone!
我的花生命是短暂的,她只有四根刺可以保护自己,抵御世界,我却将她独自留在我的星球上了!
6、His flower had told him that she was only one of her kind in all universe. And here were five thousand of them, all alike, in one single garden!
他的花朵曾经告诉他,自己是宇宙间仅有的一种花;可是仅仅在这座花园里,就有五千朵和她一模一样的花!
7、I thought that I was rich, with a flower that was unique in all the world; and all I had was a common rose. A common rose…
我总以为自己很富有,拥有一朵世上独一无二的花;实际上,我所拥有的不过是一朵普通的玫瑰而已。一朵普通的玫瑰花……
8、To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.
对我而言,你只是一个小男孩,和其他成千上万的小男孩没有什么不同。我不需要你。你也不需要我。对你而言,我也和其它成千上万的狐狸并没有差别。但是,假如你驯服了我,我们就彼此需要了。对我而言,你就是举世无双的;对你而言,我也是独一无二的……
9、The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat. 麦田和我毫不相干,真令人沮丧。不过,你有金黄色的头发。想想看,如果你驯服了我,那该有多好啊!小麦也是金黄色的,那会使我想起你。我会喜欢听麦田里的风声……
10、It is your own fault, I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you… but now you are going to cry! Then it has done you no good at all!
这是你的错,我根本无意伤害你,可是你却愿意让我驯服你……可是你现在却想哭!那驯服根本对你毫无好处!
11、It has done me good, because of the color of the wheat fields. Go and look again at the roses. You will understand now that yours is unique in all the world.
驯服对我是有好处的——因为麦田的颜色。再回头看那些玫瑰花吧!到时你就明白你的玫瑰花仍是举世无双的一朵花。
12、And now here is my secret, a very simple secret. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eyes. 这是我的一个秘密,再简单不过的秘密:一个人只有用心去看,才能看到真实。事情的真相只用眼睛是看不见的。
13、It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important. 你在你的玫瑰花身上耗费的时间使得你的玫瑰花变得如此重要。
14、Men have forgotten this truth. But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose…
人们早已忘记了这个道理。可是你不应将它遗忘。你必须永远对自己所驯服的东西负责。你要对你的玫瑰花负责。
15、Only the children know what they are looking for. They waste their time over a rag doll and it becomes very important to them; and if anybody takes it away from them, they cry…
只有小孩子知道自己在找什么。他们把时间花费在布洋娃娃身上。因此对他们而言,洋娃娃就变得很重要。一旦有人将娃娃拿走,他们就会号啕大哭……
16、As for me, if I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water.
如果是我,要是我有五十三分钟可以自由运用,那我会悠哉游哉向一道清泉走去。
17、The stars are beautiful, because of a flower that cannot be seen.
星星真美,因为有一朵看不见的花。
18、What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well…
沙漠之所以美丽,是因为在它的某个角落隐藏着一口井……
19、The house, the stars, the desert – what gives them their beauty is something that is invisible!
古屋、星星和沙漠——赋予它们美丽的是某种看不见的东西……
20、What moves me so deeply, about this little prince who is sleeping here, is his loyalty to a flower – the image of a rose that shine through his whole being like the flame of a lamp, even when he is asleep…
这个熟睡的小王子最叫我感动的地方是,他对一朵玫瑰的感情——甚至他睡着了,那朵玫瑰花的影子,仍像灯光一样照亮他的生命……
21、The men where you live, raise five thousand roses in the same garden – and they do not find in it what they are looking for. And yet what they are looking for could be found in one single rose, or in a little water. But eyes are blind. One must look with the heart…
你所居住的星球上的人们,在同一座花园培育了五千朵玫瑰——却无法从中找到他们所要寻找的东西。但是,他们所寻找的,其实是可以从一朵玫瑰花或一滴水中找到的。然而眼睛往往是盲从的。人还是必须用心去看……
22、All men have the stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For my businessman they were wealth. But all these stars are silent. You – you alone – will have the stars as no one else has them…
