I am a profound pessimist both about life and about human relations and about politics and ecology. Humans are inadequate and stupid creatures who sooner or later make a mess, and those who are trying to do good do a lot more damage than those who are muddling along.
我对生活,人际关系以及政治和生态问题都非常悲观。 人类是不适当的愚蠢动物,迟早会造成混乱,而那些试图做善事的人所造成的损害要比那些一头雾水的人遭受的损害更大。
I watch a lot of sport on television. I only watch certain sports, and I only watch them live - I don't think I've ever been able to watch a replay of a match or game of which the result was already decided. I feel bound to cheat and look up what can be looked up.
我在电视上看了很多体育节目。 我只看某些体育比赛,而我只看现场直播-我认为我以前从未看过比赛或比赛的重播,而比赛结果已经确定。 我觉得一定要作弊,抬头看看可以抬头的东西。
